The worst experience of visiting the Kempinski hotels
Pros:

The hotel has a very good location, close to People's Square, shopping streets, Shanghai Museum and Historical Museum. Everything can be reached on foot or by taxi in 5 minutes.

Cons:

When they talk about something of very poor quality, they call it a Chinese knockoff. I've been to Kempinski hotels before, and this is my worst experience. This is definitely a Chinese knockoff of the Kempinski Hotel.
The hotel is very tired and, of course, does not cost that much money and does not meet the stated standard. Bathroom tiles, for example, are full of cracks, stains and some kind of cracks.
The main restaurant is under renovation, breakfast is served in the reserve restaurant on the second floor, which is a kind of fish market with aquariums for fish, some of which swim belly up. If they are used for food, it's scary.
We wanted to go to the swiming pool, which is in the description, but it turned out that it was being cleaned.
Room service also operates according to its own schedule, which is not announced in advance. One day we ordered dinner in the room, the next day the service stopped working for some reason.
The two main disadvantages of this hotel are audibility and staff. Some runners were moved into the room above us - they ran and stomped on the floor until 3 a.m. It was impossible to sleep. At the reception, they just threw up their hands, saying that they would definitely talk to the residents above in the morning. We barely slept for three days. On the third day, they stopped stomping only when I called the room above myself. The staff doesn't solve the problems at all, they don't care. It's the same with any concierge service.
We were on New Year's holidays — I wrote in advance, asked to recommend a restaurant nearby for celebrating the New Year. They said they would send me options, but they didn't do it. After the reminder, it was sent, but in the form of screenshots from an application that requires a Chinese phone number to register. In the form of screenshots — that is, I couldn't even copy the name to search on the Internet.

Overall , not a very good experience
Pros:

A handy location

Cons:

The living room was a bit dark as no direct sunlight. The bathroom was old thus some mild mould / stains around tap/ sink area and shower connects. During our stay there were some renovation work upstairs, so had loud drilling noises during the day. We were not informed of the renovation work until our arrival, no compensation or discount offered for the inconvenience.

I wouldn’t stay again.
