I absolutely loved EVERYTHING about this hotel! They get a full ten out of ten from me! When people talk about a 5-star hotel, this is it! From the hotel decor, to the size of the room, to the room decoration itself, the level of staff professionalism (all staff: porters, housekeepers, reception, waiters/waitresses). A splendid experience! The cleanliness, the bed linen! Oh wow! I have so much to say! Congratulations Holiday Inn! You've absolutely nailed it with this hotel. I will be staying here for many trips to come.

My flight got cancelled.. picked this place on a whim to sleep.. like all the others reviewers say, 1st impression on arrival was where am I.. but after checking in.. it was great.. the couple owners was beyond nice.. took the time to help me order food cause we were hungry.. brought up to our room.. Place is very clean, nice decor. Was alittle cold.. But the hospitality made up for minor flaws. They also held our luggages while we were checking out Shanghai.. It was a great cancellation.. reccomended to stay here on a whim. .

    The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

    Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
