⭐☆☆☆☆ This hotel may have been a five-star property decades ago, but it has failed to keep up with modern international standards. It still feels trapped in the past while the rest of the hospitality industry has moved forward. The rooms are extremely outdated. The carpets have an unpleasant smell, and the electrical system is old-fashioned. Every light has its own separate switch, with no master switch to control the room lighting conveniently. Small details like these make the hotel feel neglected rather than luxurious. The front desk staff were the worst part of my stay. They were unhelpful and provided poor customer service. Room service was also disappointing, slow, and below the standard you would expect from a five-star hotel. Breakfast was another major letdown. The selection was very limited, and much of the food did not seem fresh. It certainly does not reflect the quality expected from a luxury hotel. To make matters worse, the hotel required a deposit of RMB 1,000 per day for the minibar. I told them to remove the minibar instead, but rather than doing that, they locked the entire refrigerator, preventing me from even storing my own bottled water. They refused to unlock it, which was both unreasonable and frustrating. The only positive aspect of this hotel is its location. Shanghai is a beautiful city, but unfortunately, staying at this hotel significantly damaged my overall experience. This was one of the most disappointing hotel stays I have ever had, and I would strongly advise anyone considering booking here to look elsewhere. Don’t let the photos fool you—this is a very old hotel that no longer deserves its five-star rating.

El hotel es muy elegante, sus habitaciones son grandes y las camas muy comfortables, hacen la habitación dos veces al día, el desayuno es simplemente grandioso, esta ubicado a 100 metros de la estación del metro Nanjing Road East Linias 2 y 10. Es una ubicación inmejorable...

- 아침 다양하고 괜찮습니다 - 방 넓고 은은하게 클래식한(?) 분위기라 좋아요 - 직원분들 친절했어요 - 지하철역 가까웠습니다 걸어서 3-4분? 체감상 1-2분 같은 느낌?

- 아침 다양하고 괜찮습니다 그런데 1-2시간 늦게 내려가면 음식 신선도나 컵 냄새가 좀 안좋았어요
