Comfortable and spacious apartment with good sized beds. We stayed here for a few days with three adults and two kids. The two bedroom was perfect for us. We had a great view and could see the pearl tower from our windows and balcony. Easily walked to Yuyuan garden and shopping area, quick access to the subway, and able to walk to People’s Park as well. To note: the entrance is around the back so when you first arrive at 429, you don’t see the apartment. Only the front of a bank. Walk around back of the bank to find the entrance. The biggest downfall was the lack of toilet paper. They seem to only carry half rolls, which was gone in no time. Although there is a kitchen with microwave and stove and fridge, there are no pots or pans or utensils. There is plenty of food for purchase on the street, so we just walked around and ate for our meals or brought food back to the apartment. The unit also had a washing machine, so you are able to do laundry.

“Spacious and well located, but needs some TLC”

This was our second stay with Tianci Service Apartment. The staff have always been good here.

This was our second stay with Tianci Service Apartment. The staff have always been good here. At the desk they speak some basic English, which is helpful, and the service man who came to install a modem, fix the toilet and connect the washing machine was lovely. Our apartment was on 18th floor with good views towards Nanjing Rd but too far up to observe life in the lovely lilongs. The rooms are fairly basic but the space is great when travelling with children and staying more than a couple of nights. Awesome location near to Nanjing Road and the Bund. The hallway always smelt of cigarette smoke but our apartment was fine. Cable TV was useful for my sport-loving sons. Although we had booked ahead and requested an extra bed, it was not setup when we arrived. They had no bed available because we arrived after 7pm so my son slept no the couch (not ideal). Extra bed was 200Y per day. Beds were very hard but linen clean and sufficient. The bathroom looks worn out and needs renovating. Kitchenette has a fridge, microwave and water cooler but no plates, bowls or utensils. We managed a basic breakfast in cups and plastic spoons from a nearby shop in the lilongs. Washing machine and clothes drying rack was a welcome addition since our last stay but the hosepipe costs 50Y per day so make sure you call reception to collect it after laundering or they will charge each day. No breakfast available. You'll find French-style bread and coffee at Paris Baguette on Hubei Road and steamed bread and shallot pancakes on Zheijiang Middle Rd, as well as many quickie marts for milk, yoghurt and juice. We ate our own cereals and headed straight to Yang's Fry Dumpling or similar for morning tea.
