Reader Review :: The URBN Hotel in Shanghai
Every so often we feature a hotel review from one of our readers that we feel should be shared with the rest of you dear hotel guests. These reviews are highlighted because they are timely, about cool hotels in cool places and are relatively level-headed. Think you can submit one just like this? Send it in. Now, we present you with reader Eric's review of the URBN Hotel in Shanghai which he first heard about on HotelChatter. Enjoy.
I had just ended a long camping trip in the South of China, and arrived in Shanghai with no reservation. After this long trip, sleeping in tents and hostels, I craved a night or two of comfort.
I researched a few of Shanghai's upscale hotels on the internet and decided to pass on the luxurious monstrosities. Instead, I found the URBN Hotel, a new eco-friendly boutique establishment. Having enjoyed nature for the past couple weeks, I felt that a carbon-neutral hotel was appropriate for my next couple nights.
An incredibly friendly, english-speaking staff checked me in to my even more-comfortable and incredibly designed room. Slick couches were built into the wall; my shower was huge and the bench inside made it perfect to just sit and soak.
Everything was new, the smell was fresh. I just sat in my comfortable bed all night listening to music (the provide an ipod sound dock!) and watching a huge flat screen for the first time in months....
I'm not typically a hotel blogger, but I have to give you a heads up on this one. If you do stay there, you will be sure to see the owners around the hotel. Make sure to ask them to check out the private bar!
