Inmejorable estancia en Shangai
Pros:

Hotel fantástico, muy bien situado, al lado de la old city y del.paeque yuyuan, usares muy animados , llenos de tiendas y restaurantes para pasear, comer, comprar en cuanto sales del.horel. A 10.minutos caminado del Bund. Se puede caminar a todos los lugares de Shangai fácilmente y además tienes el metro justo enfrente, aunque no lo usamos.porque cuando necesitamos trasladarnos usamos Didi que funciona genial y es muy barato.
Las habitaciones familiares son muy amplias, muy cómoda la cama y el baño y perfecramente limpias. Tienen cafetera nesspreso , co.n 2 cápsulas que van reponiendo diariamente.
Dese la ventana las vistas a la ciudad son estupendas das y se ve parte del río y la perla oriental además.
El.personal muy amable y te entiendes bien en inglés.
El.desayuno buffet genial, con muchas opciones occidentales estupendas ( tortillas y huevos al momento, pan de todo tipo, variedad e quesos y repostería...)
Tras mucho dudar y leer algunas opiniones desfavorables, puedo decir que la elección del hotel fue acertadísima y lo elegiría de nuevo sin duda.

Cons:

No poder desayunar el delicioso desayuno el.últi.o día por tener que irnos demasiado temprano y haber apurado el tiempo al.máximo para ver acabar el partido de la final del mundial y ver a España campeona!! Lo que pudimos hacer cómodamente desde la cama en la Tv de la habitación!

Comfortable and Convenient
Pros:

Comfortable and good location.

Cons:

First day check in gave the wrong room that I selected. Small room and different view. Upon check in already show and highlighted my booking. The staff are rude and purposely arranged the different room. Already paid the deposit still ask for extra deposit.

Pros:

Otel konumu açısından çok iyiydi. Nianjing road a 10 dakika yürüme mesafesi, Yuyuan old street 4 dakika , Huangpu nehir kenarına 10-12 dakika da ulaşılabiliyordu , metro istasyonuna yakın olması harikaydı. Şehir içi ulaşımı trafikten dolayı büyük problem ancak metro hayat kurtarıyor.

Cons:

Odalar eski ve küçüktü, dışarı seslerini rahatlıkla içeriye alıyordu. Kahvaltısı yetersizdi. Son gün uçak saatimiz 22.20 de olmasından dolayı ücret farkı ödeyerek geç çıkış talep ettik ancak, hiç bir açıklama yapılmadan bunu yapamayacaklarını söylediler. En azından daha samimi ve içten bir açıklamayı her konaklayan hak eder. Maalesef, Wenzhou, Tianjin deki konaklamalarımızdan sonra biraz üzdü.

Great central location with a traffic blanket wrapped around the hotel
Pros:

Great location, very central. Only issue is the bottleneck of traffic at peak hours, best to walk a bit to skip pass the traffic area, would be good to walk till Westin hotel. The traffic clears up around that place.

Prima kamer op een prima locatie
Pros:

Ontbijt was geweldig een 10+, veel opties en heel vriendelijk personeel. Locatie is perfect, op loopafstand is er veel leuks te zien en er zijn genoeg winkeltjes te vinden.

Cons:

De badkamer is oud en vervallen. Veel schimmelplekken en niet heel schoon. De bedden en kussens in de kamers waren naar onze mening veel te hard, en we hebben daardoor niet zo goed geslapen. Het zwembad is klein, zwemhanddoeken waren niet altijd aanwezig en de sfeer was daar niet zo prettig. Na een paar dagen gingen we er niet meer heen. De WiFi is slecht, nergens in het gebouw genoeg verbinding om een pagina te kunnen laden.

Great stay
Pros:

Fantastic hotel in an unbeatable location. It's right next to the Old City, so you can step outside and immediately enjoy one of the most beautiful areas of Shanghai. There are plenty of great places to eat, explore, and shop nearby, with the metro and the waterfront also within easy reach. The room was excellent, the breakfast was great, and overall everything exceeded our expectations.
