"Just a very nice experience. I've stayed in several hotels in Shanghai, this was the nicest in terms of value and quality. My only complaint was that they were remodeling the exterior of the building, and they started early in the morning on some days. But I recommend this hotel to anyone in the Jing An area. Very nice."

"I have stayed in other hotels in Shanghai previously but this hotel I would say is the best so far in terms of location, cleanliness, helpful staff, good food served at the restaurant and also strong WiFi signal in room. This hotel so near to the Bund just 8-10 minutes walk and many shopping outlets also within walking distance with the famous Nanjing Street just a stone throw away. I will definitely stay at this hotel from now onwards. For anyone still searching for a hotel in Shanghai, I recommend this hotel without reservation. "

"It was a tough decision for my friend and I to choose hotel in Shanghai knowing the standard and rate in China can be quite different from other countries. We glad that we chose Grand Central despite some reviews said it has slow wifi. We had no problem with it and in fact even VPN works well for me. We love the fact that it is near Nanjing east station and it is very convenient (Family Mart is just behind the hotel, shopping district is just less than 5 minutes). It only cost us about RMB170 from Pudong airport to the hotel but it costs more from hotel to airport (RMB220).The only thing is we book the promo rate which is without breakfast, so can comment much on the food. Overall it was a pleasant stay. We will definitely go back if we are going to Shanghai again."

"It was my first time to stay at CitizenM. Location is convenient that it was closed to a huge shopping mall (about 5 mins walk). Suitable for business traveller and people who would like to explore the Hongqiao dist. as it’s closed to National Convention Centre and Hongqiao airport. A young and energetic hotel that brighten our trip in Shanghai. The room surprised me as it was very smart that I could customise lights, AC, blinds, media via an iPad. In addition, I liked how the bathroom used aircraft-like materials and looked very refreshing. We had a lot of fun staying at citizenM with its facilities and its artistic interior design and ornaments. The breakfast was also delicious and my friends and I loved it! Would recommend it to friends and family. "

"The hotel building looks old from the outside but the rooms seems to have been renovated not that long ago and seems new. For the price, I think you will be mostly satisfied with this hotel even though of course there will be better hotels in Shanghai at a higher price. The staff are polite and efficient even though communications in English may be difficult for them but that is a problem you will encounter in many places in Shanghai."

"We were staying in Shanghai for 2 nights and booked this service apartment after getting a good rate online. And it was one of the best hotels I've stayed in. Though a service apartment, it is no less than a 4 star hotel. Clean room, with washing machine, microwave, hot plate and a rice cooker. English speaking staff, great breakfast and great location. Just a 1-2 minutes walk away from MTR subway station. There is a shopping center right next to the hotel with KFC, Starbucks, a bakery, a noodle bar and local fruit shops around, this location is really really nice. I had my 3.5 year old kid with me and staying in this hotel was so comfortable. We cooked food, washed laundry and it was a home away from home. Metro ride to Nanjing street just costs 3 RMB per person vs 20 in the taxi. I am definitely staying here whenever I'm back in Shanghai!"

"i am a traveler, and whether for pleasure or for business, i always make sure that before i select the hotel @ agoda i check on the reviews if ever they meet my requirements. in most asian countries that i have been, i have experienced staying in some citadines chain of hotels and i would say they always satisfy my taste each time. i stayed in three different hotels in shanghai and i am giving a "thumbs up" rate to this citadines shanghai jinqiao hotel. the location may be a bit too far from the bustling city area but i didn't find it hard to get a taxi and to go to places where i need to be, because all attractions and shopping districts are reachable in just few minutes. the metro station may not be of walking distance but would only cost you 14rmb. the breakfast had a small number of choices in the buffet table but they change courses each day. there is this restaurant, about a little walk and just 2 corners away from the hotel(sorry i forgot the name but it won't be too difficult to find) which serves the best shanghainese food ever! i was glad we were able to discover that restau for they have so many authentic food choices and everything seemed so delectable and yummy at very affordable prices. you should really try it!! there is nothing that i dislike in the hotel for all the things i need in one accommodation is complete and all in one nice and cozy room - the clean bathroom, mini kitchen with big ref, a working table and a reception separate from the bedroom, soft bed (most hotels in china have orthopedic hard beds)and good-smelling bed linens. if you need something you can have it in just one call at the concierge or housekeeping section. the service is so efficient that i won't hesitate to stay there in citadines over and over again. i simply love all the comfort that comes with your stay in it! thanks citadines.."

"If you will be taking the free shuttle service, exit at T1 Gate 8 on the 1st floor (or i think Gate 27 for those at T2). There will be no signs to where you should wait but just wait right in front of the exit of Gate 8. The shuttle bus of Shanghai Deco is a LIGHT BLUE mini bus that arrives every 20-30 mins, don’t get on the big buses because those are for other hotels/locations. We found it difficult to figure out where to go because no one speaks and understands english when we asked about the shuttle despite showing them the name of the hotel. Another tip: If you will be going around and need to speak to locals, load a translator on bing.com (google does not load in China). This will save you a lot of time from repeating yourself to locals who don’t understand english. "
