    Brilliant location; the house is full of character and delightful details. We stayed in the junior suite, which has heaps of room, beautiful light. And a great view up the laneway. The hosts were friendly and kind. They recommended a great Shanghainese restaurant for dinner one night. We also ate in the Italian restaurant attached to the hotel one night - wonderful food; complimentary Prosecco and limoncello; great atmosphere. Loved this place; would definitely stay again!

    For me the bed mattress was hard, and the door could be a struggle to lock.

    Breakfast was good, plenty to eat and drink. Rooms were clean and tidy. The rooms were big and comfortable Hotel was down a small road and at night it was quiet, after the restaurant closed about 10.00pm The restaurant food was very good. Well located hotel.

    Beautiful room, excellent Chinese breakfasts, friendly staff. Quiet little street, easy access to Metro etc. The manager (Tsu) went out of his way to help us and our luggage to the Metro because we were running a little late on the day we were leaving.

    Super helpful people at Kevins. We had a spacious suite of very clean rooms with very comfy large bed, we loved it. This is a quirky b & b above a popular italian restaurant (with italian chef) down an alleyway in a very old authentic building. Thus breakfast was insalata tricolori with parma ham and croissants....perfect! It's very charming. Only stayed one night in transit to Japan but wish we could have been here longer. Great location in a nice area and great value for money. Thank you!

    There was nothing to not like!

    This felt like a home away from home! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We had a washing machine as well, which was so handy. The Italian restaurant downstairs has the best food and we were provided a delicious breakfast there every morning. It gets a bit noisy from the restaurant, but we didn't mind at all. We loved our stay at Kevin's Old House!

    We liked the location in the middle of the French Concession. The room was spacious and beautiful. Our welcome was warm and breakfasts were delicious (first morning Chinese, second morning European). There's a great looking Italian restaurant on the ground floor (La Bella Napoli) which regretfully we didn't try. Recommended!

    Kevin's Old House was a lovely little hotel with genuine character. Unfortunately, it was too early in our trip to take advantage of the Italian restaurant that was attached to the hotel, but it looked great, and the breakfast was an unexpected, but delicious mix of Italian and Asian. The location is a quiet alley off a busy street. There was a little background noise, but peaceful considering it's busy Shanghai location. The staff could not have been more helpful

    Curtain could be thicker and darker. ( common inconvenience in most lodging) Wifi could be enhanced. ( insufficient after 8:00pm to midnight) TV set is not responding. ( do not affect us too much)

    Exceptionally spaceous! Big bedroom w/ big living room and washroom. Very friendly staff. Excellent western breakfast with cheese smoke salmon eggs and bread. Cappuccino is the best among all the brewery in Shanghai. Must try the restaurant on the G floor ( Bella Naples)belongs to the same owner

    We loved the old Shanghai vibe in the hotel, brings back memory of my childhood. The room was spacious yet functional, lots of storage, shower was comfortable. Quality amenities were used. The manager, house keeping staff were very friendly and made our stay very comfortable.

    Although the breakfast was good it would have been nice to have had some information and choice about what we might be served.

    The breakfast was very good. The Manager was very helpful. He and Bella Napoli provided Prosecco on several occasions, and we enjoyed a very good dinner at Bella Napoli next door. It was a good location for us near to where relative was living, but also a lovely neighbourhood in French Concession. A homely comfortable house rather than a featureless tower block hotel. We enjoyed the traditional nature of the furniture and decor with some antiques as well.

    No elevator to the third floor 🤣

    Kevin’s Old House is sort a traditional/vinatge/antique hotel in the center of Jing’an. If that’s your vibe; you’ll love it. It’s also co-located with Bella Napoli that makes amazing pizza. The room also had a laundry machine which makes life so much easier. Super helpful & friendly staff too. Will definitely stay again.

    The location is very close to the city center, with convenient transportation and many shopping malls and restaurants around. The butler service is very warm, delicious breakfast is provided every morning, the cleaning work is spotless, and the room is tastefully decorated. I will stay here again next time I return to Shanghai.

    If you're noise sensitive, it's not the quietest place. It's located above a fairly busy restaurant. You should stay here if you're keen to feel a part of a dynamic life in this fantastic city.

    Love this place. The staff are amazing. The location is perfect on Changle Road - perfect if you're interested in boutique shopping and high quality cocktails. The interior has a solid old-school vibe. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a dynamic stay in Shanghai. Also, great coffee just around the corner at Fineline Coffee.

    Breakfast was generous in size but I found smoked salmon with green salad and a very sweet croissant a slightly odd combination. I would have preferred a more local style breakfast but that’s just personal preference.

    Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They made the stay very enjoyable. They even let us use another room for an early check in until ours was available. They had a highchair for our son and let us store our pram downstairs

    The decoration could be improved by choosing modern forniture or go for a more antique style.

    The location is very central French concession. The property is bigger then expected, very comfortable bed. The breakfast also was lovely, just what you need to start a day: croissant, salmon, ham, eggs, coffee. The staff was friendly and provided everything we needed.
