Pros:

Хорошее расположение, есть настольный тенис, большие номера. На завтраке могут мделать на заказ омлет, завтрак контенинтальный. Рядом есть немецкий и ливанский рестораны с очень вкусной едой. Много не китайских кафешек, большая торговая улица с брендами, 10 мин от набережной. Утром удобно бегать.

Cons:

Отель сильно старый, мебель не современная, вода в душе холодная и горячая включаются по отдельности, температура меняется. Самое странное то это крайне медленный wifi, его нет. Дочь заниматься по zoon не смогла, такси не вызвать. Все воемя на lte переключались. То что ресторан отмечен michlen, это ничего не значит, тк качается китайской кухни. Ресторан посредственный, старый, еда средняя. Спортзал и спа сильно старые, спа раздельно для мужчин и женщин. Если захотите поиграть в гольф, то клюшек НЕТ!!

위치는 좋았으나 조식이 아쉬웠던 호텔
Pros:

위치는 상하이 여행하기에 좋았음. 방안의 청결도 등도 좋았음.
직원들의 투숙객을 대하는 태도는 매우 좋았음.

Cons:

조식이 한국인인 저에게는 잘 맞지 않았고, 먹고 싶은 음식들이 상대적으로 부족했음.

Good Location
Pros:

Overall, a pleasant stay at Central Hotel Shanghai. We stayed 3 nights in March. 7 minutes walk from Nanjing East Metro Station and just a short road away from Nanjing East Pedestrian Walk. Also walkable to The Bund and People's Square.
Hotel compound was big. We stayed at the top floor, room 2706 with partial view of Oriental Pearl Tower. Room was clean and spacious and pillows were very comfortable! Additional amenities requested from housekeeping were delivered to the room by Robot.
We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary birthday cake when we returned to our room at night. We appreciate that this was totally the hotel's initiative as we did not communicate that one of our birthday falls during the period of our stay at the hotel.
