As a severe cleanliness enthusiast who comes with bed sheets and covers when going out, and only dares to sit down after wiping the toilet, I had already prepared for a full set of "self disinfection" before checking into URBN Boutique Shanghai this time. However, after three days of staying, I didn't even remove my own disinfectant wipes.
When checking in, the front desk smiled and told me that their hygiene standard is to wipe every place that guests can touch three times. The first second I pushed open the door, I went to touch a few blind spots that regular hotels often overlook: there was no dust accumulation on the top of the door frame, not a single strand of hair could be found in the gap of the TV cabinet, and the edge of the bedside table, which is usually the most prone to dirt and grime. I used the white tissue I carried with me to wipe it clean, without any stains or marks.
What surprised me the most was the bedding area. I deliberately lifted the corners of the sheets, and there was no residual hair in the gaps of the mattress. The pillowcase and sheets felt fluffy and dry, without any moisture, and there were no stains or marks on the stitches. Later, while chatting with the cleaning lady, I found out that all bedding in their house undergoes three rounds of hair removal after being washed. After changing bedding, they also use a sticky roller to roll it from beginning to end again, so that not a single floating hair is left on it. People like me, who are used to bringing their own sleeping bags, lay naked in the quilt that day without any psychological burden.
The details of the bathroom exceeded expectations, with no water stains on the dry and wet separated glass door, and the drain of the basin was dry and clean, without any accumulated hair or odor. I deliberately reached out to touch the gaps in the ceramic tiles in the shower area, and there were no black mold spots. After washing the anti slip pad, it will be dried and disinfected separately, and there is no sticky feeling when stepping on it. Even the hair dryer vents, which are often overlooked by many hotels, are cleaned spotlessly without any accumulated dust, making cleanliness enthusiasts feel completely secure.
What's even more striking are many invisible details: the glass cups in the mini bar are not simply sealed with plastic after being rinsed, but are individually sealed in a sealed bag after undergoing high-temperature disinfection; The remote control and phone buttons were carefully wiped with alcohol swabs, and there were no sticky residue stains; Even the handle of the french window and the hook on the inside of the wardrobe were polished bright without any dust. Every day after I go out and stroll the streets, my room is not only neatly tidied up, but even the water glass I casually placed on the table has been quietly replaced with a newly disinfected glass.
Having stayed in so many boutique hotels in Shanghai, many have devoted their energy to decorating with internet celebrities, but only URBN Boutique Shanghai has incorporated the most essential hygiene experience into every invisible corner. For those who are most concerned about "staying clean" when going out, this place can completely unload all defenses and sleep soundly. Next time I come to Shanghai, I will definitely use this place as a fixed foothold.Show more
