I've just posted a review about my in-room Shanghai massage - I must have got confused because I thought she wanted 2000 RMB for FS on top of the 560 RMB I'd paid for the massage. 2000 RMB is still £230 ish but with the extra 560 RMB it was way to expensive. Would have been better if I could have added the 2000 RMB on to the room (as I did with the 560) - then at least I'd have the 20% back from corporation tax 
) Must try that next time. So 2000 less 20% all in would have been OK.
I read your review .... approx £145 for a rub n tug. Convenience of being in your room. But you were fleeced, they will try
I was there late 2017. Different hotel, not too far away from the Grand Mercure.
Yes I did get a knock on the door after midnight, an old guy asking if I wanted a girl. Said no. I'd already been serviced elswhere.
I found outside on the street I was getting aproached at all times of the day, did I want a girl to come to my room. Once I said Ok. The price for 1hr full service £150
I said the lift has a key card entry, the 20 yr old girl I was negotiating with said that would be no problem and the girl would arrive at my door .... and if I didn't like her just say no. Ok the girl arrived. At first glance looked like a nice attractive young 20 yr old. So I let her in. We got our kit off and had a shower
(always pay afterfun) !
Now I could see this girl had been through the mill a bit. She had a tattoo above her pussy hair hiding an ugly 4" vertical scar, presumably from a cesarean. She was up for every suggestion without hesitation but she wasn't the quality that I prefer. Just did the business pay and say goodbye.
There was a very nice Massage place 5 minutes from my hotel. Went there twice for a great massage and HE £50-60 a pop. Had to go back when I saw the other cute girls working there. I went back there a third time but all the girls were busy so went elsewhere. Cute staff though.
I have found that its possible to get HE in every good massage place I've been in China. Beijing to Shanghai and Cities and towns in between and around the country.
Usually £50-60. Sometimes with a BJ. But full service in these places not on the menu to me.
Quite good fun at the reception asking for translation
(usually a civilian girl) to explain the menu. Even if you can read the Chinese characters .... its usually some flowery euphemism. Much nicer if you have a nice girl giggling while explaining that this one is HE with mouth and that one is HE with Bobo's (boobs) and always ask if Xingjiao (full sex) is on offer. It probably could be, some of the services listed are very expensive, must include something more. But if you point to services around the £50-60 mark you will be in the ballpark.
I still have mobile contact Numbers from the various Saunas in Shanghai.
Some are still working, but they have a bunch of girls set up in hotel or apartments now.
I phoned one guy. He sent me directions to give to a taxi driver where to be dropped off to meet him. I didn't fancy getting into a taxi to be taken to somewhere I wasn't familiar with. He agreed to come to my hotel to collect me. As it turns out he was only 15-20 minutes from my hotel.
Ok so he told me what floor and apartment number. Up I go in the lift. Knock on the door. The door opens, there was a very pretty little lady about 20yr old. I would say fresh to the business behind the door wearing nice lingerie. We had a shower and a great time, well satisfied full service with this one. Paid at the end 1500 RMB that was about £180-190 at the time.
This was repeated the following day but with a different room and equally satisfying choice of girl.
I called the Mobile of another contact I had and talked to a guy said full service was on offer 1600 RMB 1hr.
I went off during the day to the Upmarket and well known Massage place he was operating from. Surprised under the "crackdown" that was going on at the location. He wasn't there when I arrived but with some confusion I seemed to arrange what I thought was a full service session. The girl assigned was very lovely. Acompanied me to a nice room an undressed me and helped me in the shower paying attention to my meat n two veg. (They all do that, inspecting your equipment for anything obviously dodgy).
Then came out into another empty vestibule and went into a massage room ..... now I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. Because the room door has a 12" x 18" piece of glass in the top half.
My experience tells me this is not going to be a full service experience. (No privacy) I started questioning the girl and she confirmed massage with HE only. I called a halt and started to put my kit on again. Not paying nearly £190-200 for rub n tug only.
Shame lovely girl. I think I gave her £10-15 quid for her time. She was very disappointed to lose the business.
I went back out to reception to clarify the situation, they said my contact man was due to arrive soon.
Ok 15 minutes later he arrived and explained that here with these available girls HE only.
After I talked to him about previous places and happy activities he had previously arranged for me. He was happy with my credentials (security) and said he can arrange at another location a choice of girls.
I was all hot and bothered by now. Middle of the day heat. I went back to my hotel and agreed to meet him at the new location in 3 hours time.
Appartment building, same set up as previous except that he took me to the room. There were 3 girls waiting in the room. Fully dressed in nice Qipao (traditional chinese dress, tight fitting around the neck with a slit up the side).
I chose a girl. The other 2 left presumably to go to their respective apartments. The Appartment was very small just small Bedroom. Bathroom. Small Lounge\diner. (Think there was a small electric hob and a kettle).
Had a great time. Lovely girl. Felt I was a very lucky boy.
Defo would repeat.
My contact was waiting outside downstairs. He called for a friend to come and take me back to my hotel (not too far away) took a while for him to arrive, not a taxi (at no cost to me). I guess he was waiting at that location for another client to arrive.
Difficult times in Shanghai right now. Security and who can be trusted is high on the agenda.
