Top Class Attention to Travellers”
THe Okura Garden exterior keeps the looks of old Shanghai, tucked away behind a garden and yet conveniently located with many high end shops and very reasonably priced restaurants within walking distance. Checking into the cozy Okura Garden is like getting back home, with staff welcoming you with open hands. Everyone from the bellboy, reception staff, cleaning and restaurant staff greet you with a smile, something that is not often accorded to travellers staying at other hotels. Naturally, rooms are clean despite the many years the building has been standing although a renovation could make it even better.

Great overall experience ”
This is the second time I stayed at the Okura Garden Hotel in Shanghai and I enjoyed both experiences very much. The facilities were impressive with comfortable beds with an extensive cable TV selection. The breakfast buffet was one of the best that we have had in our wide travels to date, providing for a great beginning to our days. The only downside to this hotel is that they charge customers to use the gym and the pool, this slightly tainted my experience as the Okura purported itself to be a five star hotel, this level in my experience should never charge for this service. However overall, still a very comfortable stay at a beautiful hotel.

We couldn't have been happier with Okura Garden Hotel. It was an oasis at the end of a long months trip through Asia. The French Concession area where the hotel is, is charming and much quieter than the Bund area. The hotel was beautiful. I had requested a room on a higher floor to avoid noise and traffic and they placed me on the 17th floor with a spectacular view of the city. The Guest Services helped us at every turn, from making reservations at restaurants to calling for taxis. All the staff were courteous and patient with us as we did not speak mandarin. I'd gladly choose this hotel again if I'm in Shanghai!

Best Chief Concierge Mr. Shen”
Lived in Shanghai for a year in the past, and knew the convenience of the hotel location, so booked Okura Garden Hotel. During my stay, my husband left his camera in a taxi. We didn't take a receipt and had no idea about the car number plate or even the name of the taxi company. Very professional concierge team helped us to check the CCTV record, and identified the taxi we got off at the entrance of the hotel, and managed to locate the camera. It only took half an hour for an entire searching process, and it was nothing but professional. I would like to show my appreciation especially to Mr. Shen the chief concierge.

Okura staff are very responsive and responsible to customer .”
Okura Hotel stands out because of its staff . There are many five star hotels in Shanghai but their staff may not provide service which are comparable to the best . Our experience of staying in Okura makes us appreciate dedicated, sensitive and caring staff . When things go wrong the management is immediate at problem solving . We did not have to wait or get frustrated with our problems . Hotel facilities in all five star hotels in Shanghai are really good . However , if you want a hotel which looks after you throughout your stay and assist you with unexpected problems Okura fits the bill . We have stayed in Shanghai on and off for five years and tested quite a number of hotels .

Garden in the city”
This was not my first time staying in okura garden. Located right in the centre of Huai Hai road, in the midst of Shanghai tourist and shopping belt, okura garden beckoned with peace and serenity. Upon entering the compound, a sense of calmness, security and home coming overwhelmed. Service has been attentive yet unobtrusive, friendly and professional. This time round, I encountered a small hiccup. The room temperature was way warm. I made a call to front desk to have it checked and was told the they would look into it and would adjust accordingly. I was assured that this will be done in abt 15 min. I left it as such and went to take a long shower. After my shower, to my dismay, the room was just as hot as it before! That was past midnight already, and i made a second call. Technicians and managers were sent to my room, did a check and told me it was 35 degree celcius! They quickly fixed the problem and even brought me a portable airconditioner to make sure the night went well. It was a hiccup, but I would still recommend okura garden to my friends who are visiting shanghai.

True 5 star hotel with great hospitality”
This is my first time going Shanghai and my first stay in this lovely hotel. I read a book written by Mr. Choi Lan (a Hong Kong guy who knows luxury lifestyle very well), the book's name was "the hotel you must live in your life" and he recommended this hotel in Shanghai to the readers. The hotel was French people's clubhouse in 1920s, there is a big garden in front of the hotel and the view is very nice. In 1950s, Mr. Mao was there walking around as well. Though you cannot see the riverview from the hotel and it takes 10 mins cab drive to reach the famous waterfront, I think it still worth to live in the hotel (the price provided by Agoda is really cheap and worth!!). I love the Japanese hot spring powder they provided in the suite's bathroom, it was really nice!! The hotel staff were very nice and helpful, I could always see a smile from their face. Definetly I will stay in this hotel again once I go to Shanghai again.

Consistently good quality”
i have stayed at the Okura Garden many times and the hotel has been consistently good. The food and beverage outlets is good and the service is good. This is to be expected of Japanese hotels. The only downside is that the Gym is not free for hotel guests. I pay 50 RMB for every use. However, the equipment is well maintained and the gym facility is good.

Pleasant and comfortable trip”
I've spent a memorable weekend at Okura Garden Hotel. The service is excellent, the view is fantastic, and the food is delicious. Every thing lives up to its 5-starred hotel title, except for price, which only cost me RMB 600 per night. I will definitely consider staying there once I come to Shanghai, and I'm expecting to have a taste of the Japanese restaurant there.

A Classic reference hotel in the heart of Xintiandi”
I have stayed in other Okura hotels and never disappointed me. Garden Hotel offers a comfortable place to stay with wide rooms, great service and a big beautiful garden to enjoy in the mornings. The noodle service by night is a great remedy when jet lag kills your night.

perfectly ok, but not perfect”
The hotel was perfectly fine, and we would probably stay there again if we had to do it all over again. Compared to other 5 star hotels we stayed at during a trip to Asia, the Okura was the only one to have a small hiccup on check-in. We also found the pillows on the bed kind of small and flat. These are small issues. Big picture, the hotel was a very good experience.

good hotel with wonderful location”
Was a nice stay in Shanghai with convinient located hotel in central shanghai but a very quite zone! Unlike in Europe when people use a credit card garantee for any potential expenditures during the stay, this hotel asks for a cash deposit of 500 each day, which was a surprise to me. Will be great if the hotel tells this during the booking since a foreigner traveller may not have this much cash on Day 1 in Shanghai. Overall happy with the stay and would go back.

The best hotel ever.”
This was my second time staying here at Okura and I love it. Its very affordable and everything is so perfect. English speaking staff everywhere. Breakfast buffet could use some new items for western eaters but still okay. One of the friendliest hotels you will stay at.

Excellent hotel and service”
this is a wonderful hotel, with all the superior aspects of japanese politeness, service and concern for guests very much evident at every level. another agreeable experience of our three-day stay there was that most of the staff spoke pretty good english. would recommend the okura to anyone who wishes to have a relaxing time away from paramount reality.

Consistently comfortable”
I have done a Shanghai staycation here a few times and it is one of the cleanest hotels I've been to in China. The bed is slightly softer than most. The location is great for shopping, night life on Julu Rd. and exploring the former French Concession area.
