The location is very good and convenience especially for anyone who come to Shanghai for the first time. I can explore many interesting places just by walking. (and subway station is also nearby) The hotel is nice. Room is clean and comfortable. I got a room on the high floor with the view of the buildings on the opposite side... More

This hotel has a fantastic location. You are 500 meters near subway (nanjing East station), cross street you are at Nanjing Road, one of most visited streets, and 10 minute walking you are at the Bund. Magnificient. The rooms are quite nice and clean. In the lobby there is an exchange machine, where you can exchange at any time. We... More

We stayed at the Central after spending a couple of weeks in Hangzhou. It was modern and comfortable. Its an easy walk to all the main attractions of Shanghai. The bathroom had a funky smell and we did have problems with our bill through Expedia but it was cleared up immediately. The staff was nice and the breakfast buffet is... More

The location is even more central than the name suggests, just a few steps from Nanjing Road, 2 blocks from the subway station Nanjing East (with lines 2 and 10 going to both airports and Hongqiao Railway Station) and Peoiple's Square. Clean, comfortable, high quality breakfast, kind staff (even though not always well trained to give information on transports). Rooms... More

We stayed here last week, we had a perfect stay! The hotel offers great service, over and above standard service! We ordered red wine from room service but they said they were out of stock, but went to the nearest market and bought us two bottles, bear in mind this was at 23.25pm! Rooms we average sized for a chinese... More

Just stayed for 4 nights at this hotel Jan 1through 4th 2012. It was excellent for a 4 star hotel. My family and I had stayed at 4 Chinese hotels--all rated 4 star, and this was the best. Others were not bad---just not as nice as this one...Rooms were clean, great linens, bath had large tub and a separate shower... More

I hired a junior suite as I was visiting with my mum, and knew we would need the separate sitting area for guests. The hotel is a 3 minute walk to Nanjing Rd which is also near a train station. We had dinner in the Chinese Restaraunt, and found the wait staff very helpful and friendly and the food was... More

Rooms and common areas very comfortable, clean, large, noiseless, tasteful chinese style. Kindly and professional staff, very good tea room, free wifi on demand, Recommended value for money definitely above average. Internal both served and... More

My sister and I stayed here as part of a tour but extended to stay on our own for two days as we wanted to go to the world expo too. The hotel is a block back from the main pedestian road. It is easy to get to the main shopping strip and many tourist attractions from here. If you... More
