Conrad Shanghai

Conrad Shanghai

10/10 Excellent
"The Conrad Shanghai was a great property to stay as a first time traveler to China specifically to Shanghai. It was central to everything, restaurants, shopping, and transportation. It is like staying in Times Square in NYC, but it was best for myself amd wife. There are other hotels not far from Nanjing Road but I didn't know the distance from there and the Bund. Again I would suggest thay yu as first time traveler stay the Conrad. Also the breakfast at Lane 11 was excellent."

10/10 Excellent
"Michael at the front desk was wonderful. Last year I booked 3 nights here but unfortunately for me I had to leave after only 1 night and because I had used a 3rd party booking site they couldn't refund my money. But this year Michael remembered me from last years situation and upgraded my room for free trying very hard to make up some of the money I lost last year. Now that's real old fashioned customer service. I can't thank him enough for the kindness he showed me."
