Samokatus Hotels

Sofitel Beijing Central pairs French elegance with a genuinely central Beijing location: spacious 50sqm+ rooms, dual‑aspect windows and strong concierge service are recurring highlights. Guests praise breakfast, the restaurants and helpful staff like Sunny, Ella and Jenson, but some warn the property shows signs of age and occasional AC/thermostat problems.

the Shanghai EDITION is a modern, design-forward hotel on Nanjing East Road with sweeping views toward the Bund. Guests consistently praise attentive butler-style service, Le Labo amenities and a strong breakfast offering, though a few reviews note occasional noise and issues with blackout curtains.
