Shanghai Centre Serviced Apartment

Shanghai Centre Serviced Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Stepping into the Shanghai Centre Serviced Apartment, you immediately get the sense that this place takes itself seriously — in the best possible way. The building sits right on West Nanjing Road, one of Shanghai’s most iconic stretches, and the address alone tells you something about the caliber of the property. It’s a five-star setup, and honestly, it feels like one from the moment you walk in. There’s a certain confidence to the place — not flashy, just quietly assured.

Location & Neighborhood

The Jing’an district is genuinely one of the best parts of Shanghai to be based in, and West Nanjing Road puts you right in the thick of it. You’ve got the Jing’an Temple a short walk away, excellent metro access, and a mix of high-end shopping and local street food within easy reach. Couples especially seem to love it here — the location scores a remarkable 9.5 for two-person trips, which honestly tracks. There’s something about this part of the city that just lends itself to exploring together, whether that’s a morning coffee run or an evening stroll toward People’s Square.

The Apartment Experience

What sets this property apart from a standard hotel stay is the serviced apartment format — you get actual living space, not just a room with a bed shoved in it. The setup suits longer stays particularly well, and it’s worth noting that this place has a notably high rate of repeat guests, which says a lot. I mean, people don’t come back to a place unless it’s genuinely delivering something. The combination of luxurious finishes, proper living areas, and attentive service creates that rare feeling of being at home without actually roughing it.

Breakfast & Practical Details

Breakfast here is continental, which suits the international crowd that tends to stay at a property like this. It’s not an elaborate spread, but it’s well done and sets you up nicely before heading out into the city. On the practical side, there’s on-site parking available, which is genuinely useful in a city where driving and parking can be a bit of a headache. Little things like that — the kind you only appreciate once you actually need them — are handled without fuss here.

Why Guests Love It

The overall guest rating sits at 8 out of 10, which for a property of this type in this city is a solid, trustworthy score — not inflated, just consistently earned. What keeps people coming back, I think, is the combination of a genuinely prime location, the extra space and comfort of apartment-style living, and a level of service that feels personal rather than corporate. Shanghai Centre Serviced Apartment attracts the kind of traveler who’s done their research and knows what they want — and it delivers on that expectation without needing to shout about it. If you’re spending serious time in Shanghai and want a base that actually feels like a base, this is a strong, well-considered choice.

The concierge service in Shanghai arranges private Bund yacht charters, behind-closed-doors tea ceremonies, and Art Deco rooftop suppers.

Reviews of Shanghai Centre Serviced Apartment

• Cora from Australia – 4 May 2025 (8/10)

  I’m surprised to see the negative reviews as we had a great stay here. We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment that was very spacious and well appointed. The location is so convenient and walking distance to the Metro (line 2). There is a great kids play area and supermarket in the centre plus many other good restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: It was a bit tricky to locate within the centre so we had to ask around before finding where to check in. There could be clearer directions.
