We were referred to the Ambassador Hotel by friends who live in the area and were very pleased with the comfort, convenience, value and location of the hotel in the Jing-An district of Shanghai. One breakfast was included in the room fee and we purchased one for about US $15. The breakfast buffet was pretty much Chinese and the coffee... More

I arrived a midnight to Pudong and so I called the staff before heading to Shanghai, they were very nice and helpful (a staff named Tom) and ordered a taxi for me because they said the limousine was going to be very expensive. He also nicely arranged a lady to be in a taxi to pick me up from airport... More

Stayed for 3 night on a China round trip in this hotel. Big rooms, good beds, clean and a really big and good breakfast buffet!! However they don't really get the idea of a non smoking room (yet). Free cable internet in the rooms and free wifi in the cafeteria/bar/lobby. Cabs are cheap in Shanghai, grab one and they will... More

This is an average hotel in all respects. Staff are non plussed (all the more amusing when you spot their yellow smiley faced badges). The rooms are a little too carpeted and tired. Not modern in any way. The shower curtain and sticky footed bath mat all point towards a lacklustre experience. Air con never really got to the desired... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2010

The hotel is located in a predominantly residential area, but taxi fares are very reasonable so accessibility is not really a big issue. The room itself is fine - very spacious and neutrally decorated. However, I was not very impressed with the bathroom. The tiling and decor is sub-par, and did not give the impression of cleanliness. Whenever I showered,... More

We stayed four nights in this hotel and had a great experience from checking in to checking out. My mother was quite sick when we arrived in Shanghai and the hotel was very accomodating to her needs. The floor we stayed on did not have non-smoking rooms, but they cleaned her room so well that she could not smell any... More
