IFC Residence

Excellent sized room with all the amenities we needed including a washer/dryer. Lovely furnishings and comfortable bed. The gym and pool were clean and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is attached to the IFC mall and within walking distance to the Shanghai Tower (the tallest skyscraper in Shanghai) - there are many good food options in both places. Close to subway and nice boardwalk by the river that looks across to the Bund. It's in the financial district so perhaps quieter than other areas of Shanghai but still within easy reach of everything. Some nice museums nearby also.

Very convenient with kitchen and large space for a good price. Connected to the IFC Mall, which is also connected to Ritz Carlton, so you know it’s a high standard place. Metro is connected to the mall and if you go toward the Pearl, you will find many restaurants and shops. I preferred that side of the city, easy access to the other side by taxi for a low cost. Also possible to take boat- I didn’t use metro there.

Always neat and cozy both in the room and allover the hotel. Staff is supportive, I asked to change the floor with any solid reason and within hours I got the desired room. Breakfast, laundry, cleaning, swimming pool great. Location is not far from the sightseeing tunnel and also convenient for the Exhibition visitors. Lear to rent a bike. View is magnificent, 3 tallest scrappers also here, large mall, Starbucks and Shake Shack.

The rooms are aging, but maintained quite well..... we stayed here several times since it's first opening, and today, it's probably better than all those years ago. The location is number one - It's right above the mall, and central to everything. It doesn't get any better. Breakfast was good,,,, there was a good selection of western and asian foods, and the coffee was reasonable. We did ask the front desk a question, it was a personal request they said they would attend too and get back to us, but they never did, so I cannot rate the front desk staff any higher than - average. It did not spoil our stay. The view from the room was stunning (see pics)

Location is excellent if you want to stay in Pu Dong (east side of the river). The hotel has a decent fitness floor plus a kid's play room, which is filled with amazing toys. The decor is modern and elegant. Good view too. The provided crib is well made.
