The breakfast Menu was good but just found that there was not an adequate enough refill on a lot of the items. Overall it was good.
I didn't like that water is only restricted to two bottles. Most hotels have no problems in giving out more water to its guest as water is an essential need. I have stayed at far more simpler hotels and even they would give water as the request of the guests. Work on replacing the breakfast buffet so that all guest enjoy the delicious food.
Pretty decent if I'm looking...

Very good
Price and location
A bit old rooms
Good room size. Wi-fi ok, breakfast ok and the location near the subway. Also big bonus that guys on receiption speak English.
There are two airports in Shanghai and from one is only 20-30 min (subway) , but the other one maybe an hour and a half by taxi (300 uan).

The staff always try to help
Breakfast could be change
I liked the location only.
I didn’t like the entrance of the hotel. The furnitures and the doors are old.
Lovely, spacious rooms. The housekeeper daily replaced water, coffee and tea bags and kept everything spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds and strong, hot shower, even in dead of winter. Buffet breakfast had a decent selection.
It was a bit far from metro.
About 15 mins to the airport through their shuttle
About 4-5 km to next train station ; need to ride taxi
It was a spacious room. Destilled water was provided by the hotel which is a great bonus. I was supposed to stay for a week but ended up checking out after one night because the plans changed so suddenly. The staff was really helpful and called me a taxi to the airport in the middle of the night. And also they packed some really good fruits and chips in the bag for me to eat on the way to the airport. Such a wonderful service.
The view wasn't that good because there were some construction works going on.
4th Time we have stayed at this hotel as it is close to railway station (easy walking distance). Perfect for our needs on one night stop-overs and competitive room rates.
Not a big fan of the "Free" breakfast, but at least there was some food we could eat.
Comfy beds, good proximity to train station, good breakfast
No information regarding surrounding area or nearby tourist attractions
The amenities and cleanliness and location
I didn't like the breakfast
The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. Easy access to MRT station
Good service, nice breakfast and very helpful staff. Will stay again if come to ning bo agaij
We’ve stayed here multiple times and recommended it to our friends and family. Great facilities for a very reasonable price.
The breakfast is the best!
excellent location excellent place to stay especially the customer manager,,Vincent,,he is one of a kind,,,very helpful person
everything was great
Staff was friendly and helped with air conditioning concerns by providing an extra fan for the room. Concierge at front desk was helpful with our day-trip. There's an official Wechat account to keep us up-to-date with the day-trip we've reserved. Check-out process was smooth and painless.
can hear noisy from outside the room
Food options
A good place for railroad...
I like the breakfast here, but the restaurant was too crowded to find a seat. The room is not too large but it is OK to have necessary facilities.
The room is too close to Shanghai Railway Station. It may be hilarious for railroad fans but it is noisy to hear roars of trains and metros at night.
That's very good location and very friendly staff!
The breakfast is quite good with a variety of choices. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The location is easy access to train station and metro so ideal for stop over.
Not applicable.
they were more than fair about the missed night- didn't get charged. Close to Subway and general train station.
Our room was HOT air conditioning not turned on. Tea/Coffee BUT NO FRIDGE . Had to ask to get safe working Carpet was pulled up in hallway and smelly. room smelled of cigarette smoke-which I am allergic to. Shower was mouldy. Wouldn't stay again. Staff were not helpful with direction advice. didn't know English and didn't try hard enough with any issue we had.
Fast check in counter, especially Ms Karry Chao is very knowledgeable and courteous.
Toilet in my room 2623 seems to have a bad small
Breakfast was excellent. There were also international programs on TV
It's difficult to find English speaking persons in the hotel
Room was big. It’s about 500 meters from the Shanghai Railway Station where you can take the metro.
Breakfast food is not varied everyday, unlike in other Holiday Inn hotels. It should be varied so guest will enjoy breakfast.
Close to Shanghai railway station. Super breakfast.
Nothing. No negative comments. Not really a complaint but rooms might be a little small for some people.
Near Shanghai Railway and Metro.
Hotel didn't put in effort to clearly explain which metro and railway exit to take and direction to walk to hotel. Worse, there are two Holiday Inn one on South Side and another on North Side.
The location, breakfast and service of this hotel
The room card does not work occasionally on elevators and room and we have to keep going back to lobby to get it rectified
Great location close to subway, restaurant and north train station.
Close to the northern square of shanghai railway station.
It is not a trivial to walk from the south square. Go to the north square of railway station, if you wanna check out the hotel directly from your trip by train. The breakfast is kind okay.
Big size room and very clean, near railway station.
No comb, No Razor.
Room is clean, spacious and bed is comfortable
The location is quite a distance from the metro station entrance in Shanghai station. Even further when needs to take line 1 metro.
The location was good and very accessible to all areas. The staff were helpful as our flight were in the morning and we could check in before the official check in time. The price was reasonable. The room was spacious and clean.
As it was winter, we could not adjust the air-con to more cooler as we were afraid of warm temperature. The sewerage is a bit on the slow side as the flushes take time to move.

Location
It’s next to coach station and railway station. The room is quiet, clean and comfortable. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Shanghai.
Big room and comfortable bed. I asked to have room on highest floor and it was provided. I lost my laptop mouse and they found it and returned to me without any problem.
Elevator was not very fancy and looks old
Bed was comfortable
One of the room drainage got problem.
Very close to the train station. Excellent bedroom for the price, clean and well organised . Perfect place to sleep and rest after a 12 hour flight and before a train the next day. Advice - when leaving Shanghai railway station follow the signs for long distance bus station; you can’t miss the hotel, it’s beside a number of different glasses shops.
Breakfast was ok but considering the amount of foreigners staying in the hotel they could improve it a little to cater for ‘western’ tastes. However at €40 a night you really can’t complain.
The hotel was walking distance from Shanghai train station and metro
1) the room was so hot even though it was winter. We didn’t even turn on the heater but it was hot at night 2) the water had a weird sulphuric taste 3) the toilet paper holder was rusty 4) there were flies in the room
Staff were great. Food is incredible. The room is wide and clean.
The AC is not cold enough so it was a bit warm inside
They don't put amenities in the washroom, instead was a note " if you forget something ask the reception they will give you"
Like the friendly staff and great breakfast.
If the breakfast dishes can be vary everyday, it will be perfect.
Great location, reasonable price. Very pleased.
nothing
Great view- mine was facing the river. Great and friendly staff
The room was a bit too warm and I couldn’t open the windows to enjoy the great view.
It is clean and nice
None
The room was clean
Not much but reception was too crowded, I had to find a way to the room by myself
Hotel is situated just 200m away from the Shanghai railway station and the bus stand. Very easy to travel around the city using the metro.
Location, reception staff are very helpful.
I liked that a last-minute booking was available.
The room smelled like smoke, the temperature control was not adjustable, and most staff were not helpful except, two men. The lady at night told me that it's not possible to keep my bags in the lobby, but in the morning, I saw people putting their bags on the side for temporary storage. Basically, most of the staff were not on the same page
Staff is very polite and helpful, they speak English for the most part and the location is great. The breakfast is good too.
A little noisy since there is construction going on right now right across the street.
Location and it’s clean
The helper are rude .
Spacious room & Basic amenities given, near to Metro station
Hotel staff helped to book taxi for us , turns out the taxi driver is not very honest and try to cheat us. Book a taxi yourself or go to the nearby metro station
Management were alway helpful
As in Asia the beds are always hard
Exceptional.. Everything is good .. Near to the Metro and its really value for the money ..
My booking was cancel without any warning. I have to share room with my customer.
Dirty, smoking smell.
Good
So far so good, staffs are friendly
No comment
Walking distance to shanghai railway station, breakfast included.
No proper signage to guide tourists to the hotel from station & vice versa.
Clean room and bath. Nice bedding and pillows. Very good breakfast. Friendly staff.
Not much. Construction outside.
Close to rail station. Has food nearby and access to metro lines near the station. The metro line towards line 1 also has a small market. The bathroom is spacious with good shower water pressure.
Getting to famous Shanghai landmarks takes some time. But that's the nature of a big city.
Everything is good
Value for money and location
Breakfast and no luggage assistance
Everything available in the hotel
1 No lock on the bathroom door 2 Matress not that soft according to the IHG standards
I stayed 5 years when coming to this hotel, the breakfast is just the same over the years
Location and English speaking staff....
Breakfast and comfort
The pillow was too soft
Breakfast good
Location hard to find . First day got lost to get there . Hotel should emphasized south or north side of Shanghai railway station to customers . This holiday is both side of station
Money was stolen from my room, they didn’t take all the money, only a few hundred euros, which would not be immediately noticeable. I guess what day it is, but they don’t have video from the cameras for that day. Everyone saw and knew if I was leaving, because they called me a taxi at the reception. I am very upset and I want to warn tourists - do not leave your money in the room unattended!
I liked. Staff was always willing to help
Maybe the food could be a bit better.
The manager was very helpful and spoke good English. The area is in a good location and near to the underground
The floors were dusty otherwise all good. Plus they gave us a hello kitty room for two men
Staff were helpful, breakfast very good
No taxi
Spacious room Great breakfast Near to railwaystation and subway Have convenient stores around Easy check in check out Good noise proof Helpful staff
Counter staff need to improve on how to handling foreigner guests issues malfunction gym equipment crowded breakfast area, sometimes no empty seat at all
i like the coffee machine
Good cost performance with nice location and breakfast.
4th floor with only small widows. No city view from room.
The breakfast is good with a good spread of food to choose from. The location is poor as it is too close to the railway station and in a very crowded area.
More info on the attractions of the city and appropriate map of the city for the travelers.
Good
All overall
Except food everything was good.
Breakfast was not so good. Need some options.
Great location, great breakfast
I like everything
Great location. Great breakfast. Great clean and very spacious rooms
I like everything
The breakfast was ok with choices and it was included in the price, however very busy resulting in some choices having long lines or run out ie pancakes and scrambled eggs . The tea is terrible. A simple cup of tea is tea bag choices including English breakfast, hot water, sugar and milk. I ended up bringing my own tea bags to breakfast but the water was luke warm and you had to search for diluted milk. The rooms were clean, very busy lifts. Not anywhere near as good as Holiday Inn in Shaoxing.
Wireless is obviously overloaded so speed were slow or non-existent. This makes it hard to plan daily activities. It would be really handy if you could get some basic tourist brochures in English and also the metro/subway map in English from reception. Perhaps a tour desk for planning trips to Disneyland etc or some brochures and info sheet on how to get there. We caught a taxi and came home via train once we worked out how to do it. I would probably seek a better hotel close to the People's Square next time.
The woman on the front desk was rude, unfriendly, and obstructive. I made a booking on line and when we arrived she tried to send us away as she did not have a copy of that booking. I showed her my phone with the confirmation and she still tried to say we could not check in. There were lots of empty rooms anyway. Rude rude rude.
Clean, well located and rooms of a good size.
Breakfast OK but nothing special Quite noisy if your room was on the railway station side
Everything. Nice hotel, the staff, the room, the breakfast is okay and very convenient near to Shanghai Railway Station north square.
breakfast is great and the location also good, room is clean, big enoungh for 2 people.
booking for 2 twin and 1 triple, unfortunately they give extra bed for triple, when we complain about its, it takes 2 hours to get the exact triple room.
Large hotel in the broader city centre, subway station and main railway station are right next to the hotel. Staff was polite, they give free water.
Breakfast was a bit crowded, there was a lot of food, they kept replenishing it, But international guest would not like the type of food served. Hotel was little bit older and there is not much to see in that location.
If more helpful is good
Taxi drivers are cheating in Shanghai .they have double fair system.
Staff were helpful. Also good to have breakfast included.
Location was a little out of the way. Good to be near the central railway station, but quite a distance from the major sites in Shanghai.
Nice place and delicious food.
Best option for the money in SH
Nice clean room. Met expectations
Breakfast could be better
Breakfast was good. Location is convenient. Staff are co-operative. Breakfast was good.
Taxis are not available and charge very high. Not much shopping area. Surrounding location not much attractive.
Staffs at front desk are all so nice and ready to help.
Bathroom floor did not looked been clean every day during 8 days we staying.
Beautiful building and location to subway. My bedroom was lovely.
Breakfast was awful and the carpets in the communal area was tired.
The breakfast buffet was fantastic
The evening buffet was very poor ☹.
