Central Hotel Shanghai

10/10 Excellent

"no time to use the facility this time"

Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World

10/10 Excellent

"1st time traveling to China and 1st stop in Shanghai. It’s a 5-star hotel in a great location and “Nanjing” walking street just crossing the street. Friendly staff, good service even room cleaning is excellent. Unluckily my room was settled at a low floor (FL 7) and my window view is small street of side of the building and there was a ground floor shop doing renovations from the midnight to the morning every night from my check in to check out. I believe the hotel will do something for me if I make a complaint but I don’t and just let it go. Overall it’s a great place to stay."

Holiday Inn Express Shanghai On The Bund by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I have been in China several times and stayed in various hotels. Consider this hotel one of the best. It’s impossible to find a better hotel location with a view of the beautiful Yu Garden on one side and famous Bund on the other. It’s also located just a few steps from the Metro with connection to major destinations. I was deeply touched by the care and attention shown by the entire staff -the front desk (Jerry was best), housekeepers, buffet staff and manager. Clean rooms with all amenities and fully stocked with supplies ranging from toothbrushes to slippers. Bottled water was also provided. Famous Pear Soup is always available as a light local treat at any time of the day. Laundry is also free here. The morning buffet is delicious and varied- available every day with options to suit every taste. On the second floor there is a restaurant with magnificent local dinner cuisine. I highly suggest this hotel as a wonderful place to stay. Will definitely return the next time I am in Shanghai. "
