I was informed at check-in,very efficient by the way,that the Hotel had renovation work going on.I would have thought it courteous of them to tell me this when I made my reservation just two weeks before.The Kango's kicked in about 7.30am,no problem there as I'm an early riser,and continued until about 5.30pm.Other than that the City Hotel met my needs...

Actually the exterior of the hotel is under restoration so is not possibile have any view and during the day could be a little noise. Apart this temporary problem the hotel is an average 4 star hotel, with normal size room, but for sure quite old like furnishment and decoration. The price deserves more the position of the hotel than... More

We were travelling across the China by last 3 weeks and this is definitely not four star hotel. We stayed sometimes in 2 star hotel, but we had better service and accommodation then in this one. Maybe there are restaurants and other business amenities in that hotel, but air-conditioning is set up centrally and you are not able to adjust... More

Cozy business hotel with great staff and an excellent breakfast restaurant. There is also a Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse on the fifth floor if you're craving a good steak, french wine or a hoegarten. The bartender can make just about any drink.

Business hotel with everything you would expect from a 4-star hotel. The plusses are good breakfast, nice pool area and central location. The minus is (except from the hard beds) - this is a construction site. When we were there in the beginning of April 2012 they were rising the scaffoldings. We had to fight to make them give us...

Good service, kind and polite and certainly helpfull. The hotel itself is renovating (which is nescessary). The rooms are small. Breakfast buffet was very bad. I have been in other hotels in Shanghai, but this was the worst I had. So if you book, don't book with breakfast, and go to the Starbucks at 50m from the hotel. The location... More

The city hotel is quite a nice place, especially for the cost, given its location. They are undergoing a renovation right now, so occasionally we were disturbed by carpet shampooing or elevator repairs, but all in all no big deal. The rooms have all of the basic things that a traveler needs, a soft bed (by China standards, anyway), a... More

I am actually a resident in the City Apartments adjacent to City Hotel and have access to the gym. My review is confined only to the gym. It's ok for what I want to do conveniently, but I plan to join a real gym. The gym has 2 decent treadmills from a not very famous brand (and calibrated to what... More
