Green Court Residence City Center Shanghai

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located, room is spacious, great breakfast and friendly staff. I will definitely stay here when I am back in Shanghai."

Fairmont Peace Hotel on the Bund

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spotless and the staff were very polite and went out of their way to help whenever possible. Breakfast was excellent and had a wide variety of different cuisines. Location is on the Bund and it doesn’t get better than that. Many shopping malls nearby and historic attractions are just a short walk away. Besides its rich cultural heritage and history, I highly recommend staying here for its convenience and excellent service."
