For a 3 days business trip, not bad. well located near a main railway station and metro station. but not a lot happening in the area. room facility is good but hotel lacks basic facilities like a decent resturant. Breakfast sucks but staff are helpful.

Location is good, close to the Railway Station and to the elevated roads, and 10 min by taxi to the Bund.The room (Great Wall Wing) was not renovated, but I don't care, it was even a... More

I have just stayed at the Holiday Inn Downtown Shanghai, the location is not that great. It is a 40 minute walk to the peoples square or a 15 metro trip. The hotel has two buildings; the executive and the standard hotel. I would strongly recommend the executive wing of the hotel. I accidentally went into the other wing and... More
