Travelogue


  • The clean background color of the old building

    Before coming to the North Bund, my expectation for Ocean Hotel Shanghai was that it was an old four-star hotel from 1989, and the hardware was inevitably outdated. After staying for two nights, what I most wanted to write about was actually hygiene - it didn't become a selling point, but it held up the bottom line of the experience.
    The hotel is located at 1171 Dongdaming Road, Hongkou District, under the umbrella of COSCO Shipping. It has 28 floors and is known as Shanghai's first revolving restaurant. When checking in, the front desk hands over the room card and reminds you that the high-rise river view room has just undergone a major cleaning, so you can rest assured to check in. The first reaction when pushing the door is that the common stuffy smell in old buildings is not obvious, only a slight smell of cleaning agent and fabric. Ctrip's comprehensive hygiene rating is 4.6, with "clean and tidy", "clean bedding", and "online bathroom maintenance" being high-frequency words in guest reviews, which is generally consistent with personal testing.
    Specific details: The bedding is fluffy, with clear creases, and the pillowcase has no obvious stains or hair on the corners; Scan the gap between the bedside and the writing desk with the naked eye, and there is no dust accumulation; Carpet is a common full floor style in old hotels, with dark colors. Some guests expressed concerns about "dirt and grime" in their reviews, but in reality, the vacuuming was in place and no obvious debris was found, making it difficult to walk barefoot. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area with a bathtub, and the countertop and mirror are free of water stains. The toilet seat is clean, with a complete set of six spare parts. The shower water pressure is stable, hot water comes out in seconds, and the drainage is smooth without any odor - the "faint old building smell" mentioned by a few guests may be related to the floor and ventilation.
    The hygiene of public areas is also consistent. The lobby floor is smooth, and there are regular wiping marks in the elevator button area; The dining tables at Shenyue Restaurant on the 4th floor and Yipo Xuangong on the 27th floor have fast turnover and timely closing; The swimming pool is cleaned on the 1st of each month, and residents have rated it as' clean swimming '. However, the pool is relatively small and is frequently used by surrounding residents. For those who are sensitive to water quality, it is recommended to take off peak hours or bring their own swimming goggles. The room cleaning lady patrols the building frequently during the day and will proactively replace any garbage or dirty linen at the entrance. The night bed service is simple but organized.
    Of course, to be honest, the building's age is uncertain, and some hardware may show signs of use. Some residents have provided feedback that details such as carpet corners, bathtub edges, and disposable toothbrush quality can be further improved. Fluctuations may also occur during peak and off seasons. My suggestion is - if you have a obsession with the "brand new hotel feel", you can take a detour; If we accept the old four-star positioning, Oceanwide belongs to the category of "maintaining online and not stepping on landmines" in terms of hygiene, and the three core areas of bedding, bathroom, and public areas have not fallen off guard.
    Looking at the lights in Lujiazui by the window at night, I remembered a quote from a guest: "Facilities may not be considered modern, but cleanliness and tidiness are important." The cleanliness of the old building is not built up by smart toilets or fresh air systems, but by the cleaning process, room crew, and daily maintenance - this is something that Ocean Hotel Shanghai can do well among its peers. Next time I stay briefly at Beiwai Beach, I won't hesitate about hygiene.Show more

  • A night caught by an old hotel

    I didn't choose a new-style design hotel this time when I came to Shanghai. Instead, I went back to the Ocean Hotel Shanghai at 1171 Dongdaming Road, Hongkou District - an old four-star hotel under COSCO Shipping. It opened in 1989, has 28 floors, and is known as Shanghai's first revolving restaurant. I originally thought that the "old state-owned enterprise style" was probably procedural and lukewarm, but after staying for two nights, I found that what is most worth writing about is precisely the service.
    On the day of arrival, it rained lightly. As soon as the taxi came to a stop, the concierge came up with an umbrella to pick up the luggage. The simple phrase "Be careful of the steps" didn't add much embellishment, but it stopped the sense of propriety. The front desk was on duty 24 hours a day, and I only arrived near midnight. I was worried that only the basic room type was left, but the girl checked the room status and directly helped me upgrade the originally booked business king size bed to a more spacious floor, which was enough to handle temporary extra beds. She also handed me a handwritten welcome card. The segments in the guest reviews that read 'arriving at midnight but still being upgraded' and 'the front desk proactively delaying check-out and offering complimentary drinks upon early check-in' are basically in line with my account.
    What really changed me was a few small things. Firstly, an umbrella was already prepared in the room, and when the front desk saw me carrying a camera, they casually reminded me, 'The river is prone to fog in the morning, so if you want to take a photo, you can hurry up early.'; Secondly, family guests with children will receive children's slippers, children's toothbrushes, and even aunties may fold towels into small animals - these details are often replaced by procedures in new chain hotels, while old hotels retain the considerate "person to person" approach. Thirdly, only after checking out did they discover a sweater had fallen into the wardrobe. The floor attendant took it away and handed it over to the front desk. They took the initiative to call and send it back. This sense of "lost and found" is more effective than any slogan.
    The room response is also online: Wi Fi, hot water, and air conditioning are all stable. Extra mineral water and a set of tea bags are needed at night. If the phone hangs up for a few minutes, the robot or room attendant will arrive at the door; Although the swimming pool and gym are not large, their opening hours are clear. When asking the front desk for towels and slippers, they respond promptly. During the breakfast period at the 27th floor Yipe Xuan Palace, the waiter will take the initiative to lean against the window and add an extra hot drink when they see a table with the elderly and children. It won't disturb the guests, but everything that should be there is available.
    Of course, be honest: it is a fact that the hardware has a sense of age. Some residents mentioned that the wash basin drainage, disposable toothbrush quality, no underground garage and other common problems of the old building, and the service is not flawless (some parent-child customers roast that the rule of "one room is free" for breakfast is rigid). But overall, the atmosphere of employees greeting each other proactively and responding to their needs is real - you wipe your shoulders in the hallway, the concierge nods; You go to the front desk to ask for the route, and the other party not only points out the direction, but also adds a sentence "It's faster to take a detour on this road in rainy weather".
    On the day of departure, the concierge helped to call a car and stood on the porch watching the car start. Looking back at the curved outline of the 28th floor, I suddenly understand why some people are willing to stay for more than ten years: new hotels sell design and intelligence, while old hotels sell the ability to "catch people". The service of Ocean Hotel Shanghai may not be amazing, but it allows you to take less Dim sum in a strange city. For those who are on business trips, taking care of their children, or simply want to slow down and enjoy the river view, this "old-fashioned and suitable" is already very expensive. If I stay at the North Bund in Shanghai next time, I am likely to return to this building.Show more
