OK Chinese run hotel but which aims to cater for Japanese business visitors to this part of Shanghai. They have Sushi in the restaurant and Kareoke in the Club but quality is not really up there with what the Japanese might expect. Rooms pretty small and my colleagues had no aircon all night which was stifling. There is a bar/Club... More

This place is an old, worn out dump. The service at check-in was OK, not friendly at all but not discourteous. My room was small and chock full of stains, mildew, cracks and other delights. My bathroom was tiny and the tub was filthy--the mildews stains were remarkable, even for a bad hotel. There was caulk missing around the sink,... More

On this particular day I arrived to Shanghai for the very first time. I had a traumatic experience because I was not fluent in Mandarin and I had a hard time talking to the taxi driver in Shanghainese. Eventually I was dropped off at this hotel and my struggle ended as soon as I arrived. The entire staff were completely... More

I stayed here for several days on business. I will stay here again as the hotel gives my company a very reasonable rate. But on the whole, it was disappointing. Good things first. The Gym has a wide selection of very nice equipment. The staff could not have been nicer or responded more quickly to the majority of the issues... More

A remarkably good hotel with a very high service standard. Rooms are very spacey, and in tip top condition. Good bed, good selection of television channels, extremely good service, very good inhouse restaurants. For executive visitors the 29th floor features a decent complementary "happy hour" between 5PM and 7PM. Selection in the bar is limited but good enough. The location... More

I stayed at the Rainbow Hotel (also called Hong Qiao Hotel) in Shanghai. The rooms are very nice and the service excellent. The best part is the room rates - at 600 RMBs, this was definitely value for money. As an extra measure, they threw in the breakfast as well. This hotel is right in the middle of the city... More
