I was generally satisfied with the facilities and experience provided by the hotel.
Pros:

Overall, I was generally satisfied with the facilities and experience provided by the hotel. The customer service prior to my arrival was fantastic, and the staff were extremely helpful with restaurant bookings and arranging bike hire. I truly appreciate their assistance and hospitality. The hotel’s location is excellent, and the wellness facilities, including the steam room, sauna, and swimming pool, were a great addition to the stay.

Cons:

What I did not like about the hotel was that some facilities and services did not meet the expectations of a 5-star experience. The steam room was out of order during my stay, and there were no staff available in the changing room to assist guests. The towel area was also difficult to locate due to the dim lighting. In addition, the coffee and tea machine at breakfast was out of service for all three days, and the beverage selection after dinner was quite limited, with many menu items unavailable. I was also disappointed that the reception staff could not provide a proper running track map despite it being promoted on the hotel website, which felt unprofessional.

Wonderful stay in Shanghai
Pros:

The location was peaceful while being central. Our room was on the higher floor. The bed was very comfortable, the shower and bed were great. We enjoyed having a coffee in the room before partaking into the wonderful breakfast.

Pros:

I love the Sukhothai vibe - a beautiful sense of Asian modern minimalism with extraordinary five-star pool, sauna and wellness services. The spacious rooms are beautifully appointed with chic soft furnishings, generous layout, desk and seating areas, generous wardrobe space and storage (hallelujah) wonderful bathrooms with separate WC, deep soaking tub and luxurious oversized shower. Housekeeping services are top notch with traditional tea at turndown and the concierge experience was above and beyond. The spa has dyson hairdryers and other amenities so you can dress up after a session in the steam room. We slept so well here and enjoyed the brilliant porte cochere access for all our sightseeing and adventures in the city and the deluxe shopping precinct for fresh juices, excellent coffee and all the designers (if you are into that) are on your doorstep. The clientele here is very international and uber cool - the lobby is a united nations of interesting global travellers and super stylish locals. Such a great hotel brand!

Cons:

The breakfast is not exciting. For some reason many doors in the hotels rooms are designed without latches so they have a habit of falling open!

A Clean Room, But a Cold Welcome – Not What Titanium Status Deserves
Pros:

As a Titanium member, I arrived at approximately 5:00 PM, only to be told that my room was not yet ready. Despite having already completed check-in, I was asked to wait over twenty minutes. There was no warm welcome, and the front desk did not offer an apology initially. I was directed to wait in the lobby, but the seating area was extremely limited and already occupied by several other guests. Traveling alone with two young children, I received no assistance or acknowledgment from the hotel regarding a more suitable place to wait. It was only after I suggested the bar area that we were able to sit somewhat comfortably—on the outdoor terrace. To the hotel’s credit, the room itself was quite nice and clean.

The more disappointing experience occurred the following morning, when I went to the reception desk to add breakfast and kindly request a late checkout—a published benefit for Titanium members. Without any attempt to accommodate, the receptionist immediately declined. He then called his manager, and while speaking on the phone, he began laughing and chuckling as he explained to the manager that “this guest” was requesting a late checkout. He may have assumed I did not understand Mandarin, but I understood enough to recognize the lack of professionalism. I calmly reminded him that as a Titanium member, I was hoping the hotel would at least make an effort to accommodate my family’s needs. Only after I raised my voice—prompted by his dismissive and mocking tone—did the situation change. I pointed out that it was unprofessional and disrespectful to laugh at a guest’s reasonable request, especially given that I had already waited past 5:00 PM for my room the previous evening. Only then did another receptionist step in and offer a 3:00 PM late checkout.

To add to the frustration, my room key stopped working by 2:00 PM. For a five-star property, and especially as a first-time guest at this brand, I expected a vastly different standard of service—one that reflects genuine care, professionalism, and respect for loyalty members. Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of that expectation.

Pros:

Great swimming pool and associated facilities.

Cons:

Small and confusing lobby layout with little seating available. Throughout the day there was a strong perfume smell in the lobby, which was irritating. Finally, the room wasn’t made up during the day as one would expect - we had to request a housekeeper to come late afternoon.
