Le Royal Méridien Shanghai

Location, value for money, facility, quality beddings.

Since new restaurant is being constructed, current breakfast location is a hustle. Also quality of food not up to standard.

Great location with easy access to Nanjing Lu as well as the subway at People's Square. Friendly service overall.

Well, as mentioned a couple of times..the rooms are in dire need of renovatio but are clean. After having finished the entrance and also the breakfast area (it reopened on the day I left), the rooms will be renovated over the next 2-3 years. With respect to the fitness facilities, the machines could sue a more regular cleaning. The pool while being fantastic and huge (around 20m lanes)..it can basically only be used in the morning for swimming. Afterwards, after around lunch, there are swim classes with tons of people in the pool which make a proper workout next to impossible and really frustrating. So if you want to go for a swim..early in the morning..or later in the evening.

Poor breakfast location and breakfast not as good as it was before

Hotel was clean and had good views and a nice pool.

Check-in staff (Chloé) was very incompetent/lazy, refused to get another employee who spoke better english and insisted on trying to speak to my partner in Chinese. Left a very bad first impression of this hotel.
