Der perfekte Ausgangspunkt um Shanghai zu entdecken. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Pros:

Die Lage ist ausgezeichnet, um die Stadt zu entdecken, Fußgängerzone und Bund sind schnell zu erreichen. Hervorragendes Viertel mit vielen exklusiven und schönen Geschäften. Es gibt sogar eine Bäckerei nach westlichem Vorbild! U-Bahn fußläufig zu erreichen. Zimmer mit sehr luxuriöser Ausstattung, sehr großzügiges Bad, absolut ruhig, obere Stockwerke traumhafte Aussicht, sehr groß und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Frühstück herausragend. Vor allem das Personal hat durch Umsicht, Hilfsbereitschaft und Liebenswürdigkeit bestochen.

Cons:

Es war perfekt. Es gab nichts zu kritisieren.

Cons:

Room AC was broken during the hottest two days of the years. The room hit 28C during the evening, making it difficult to stay asleep. Requested fix or room change in morning, but they could only provide portable AC in the evening that barely helped. Had to order delivery of fans at 4am. This unfortunately overshadows an otherwise wonderful experience as it messed up both nights of sleep.

Očekivali smo puno više od ovako luksuznog brenda, kao i vrijednost za plaćeni novac
Pros:

Lokacija je dobra, osoblje ljubszno, udoban krevet

Cons:

Nije nam se svidjeo bazen, interijeru soba i kupaona je potrebna obnova, stropovi su niski i zagušujući. Ništa ne ostavlja dojam luksuza.

Excellent value for money! Would stay again!
Pros:

Loved the bed!! Best sleep ever! The room temperature was at a constant perfect temperature. And the bathroom - very big, nice marble design and layout!

Cons:

Although probably the best hotel I stayed in in my life I can imagine that the more expensive Ritz Carlton Pudong may have more bells and whistles.

Pros:

Large clean rooms. Hotel has a good ambiance.L, very good breakfast.

Cons:

I left my bags to storage at check out. When i came to pick them up. I saw that they put someone else’s ticket on my luggages. Luckily the other person didn’t get mine by accident. This is an unacceptable mistake. Plus the stuff at the reception are not fluent in English which is surprising in a mega city like Shanghai
