I wish I could give this 6 stars. The room we had was bigger than an average condo in Toronto. The breakfast was very elaborate. The best thing about this hotel is its location. It is close to the old city, the cruise terminal and the sightseeing bus terminal.

Room was clean and very big. We had a window that looked at a tree and shrubs, no view of anything but the room and location as well as closing the curtains at night anyway made it a great stay. This hotel , unlike other Holiday Inns and Hiltons in China,take their non smoking policy seriously. It was great not to have to deal with smoking in a non smoking hotel.

Amazing breakfast selection, healthy and appetizing menu. Great central location, just steps away from Yu Garden and train station. Staff were knowledgeable and courteous. Everything was clean and spotless. The only thing they need to improve on is to make their sewer pipe vent smell better by fixing the pipes or it could be their p-trap drains.

Location of the hotel is super, crossing street is a subway entry, crossing another street is the famous YuYuan area. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are modern and quiet, using washers and dryers without a penny... We enjoy very minutes there.

I have been in China several times and stayed in various hotels. Consider this hotel one of the best. It’s impossible to find a better hotel location with a view of the beautiful Yu Garden on one side and famous Bund on the other. It’s also located just a few steps from the Metro with connection to major destinations. I was deeply touched by the care and attention shown by the entire staff -the front desk (Jerry was best), housekeepers, buffet staff and manager. Clean rooms with all amenities and fully stocked with supplies ranging from toothbrushes to slippers. Bottled water was also provided. Famous Pear Soup is always available as a light local treat at any time of the day. Laundry is also free here. The morning buffet is delicious and varied- available every day with options to suit every taste. On the second floor there is a restaurant with magnificent local dinner cuisine. I highly suggest this hotel as a wonderful place to stay. Will definitely return the next time I am in Shanghai.

WiFi doesn’t like Lao wai at this hotel, and really uncomfortable for 2 people. The room was an open floor plan without bathroom walls and separate lights. If you get up in the middle of the night then you have to turn on the bedroom lights to use the bathroom. Other than that, great location, friendly staff, bed was comfortable, pillows were good, hallway was noisy, no soundproof. Good hotel, but we won’t be coming back.

If you're going to Shanghai and want a hotel with the best cost-effectiveness for your stay, I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express on the Bund. GREAT location. The breakfast is excellent. The room is very beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The best part is the staff: the English is improving, and everyone at the front desk is simply FANTASTIC. I had a problem paying a taxi driver, and the attendant, Jerry Tang, was definitely perfect, demonstrating initiative and a true interest in solving my problem. In short, stop looking. This is an excellent place to stay in Shanghai!
