"I stayed at this hotel many years ago when there weren't many good hotels in Shanghai, and it left a deep impression. Later, every time I traveled to Shanghai for business, I stayed at other newer hotels. This time, I chose this hotel with my kids because I wanted them to see Shanghai's skyline. Overall, I was quite satisfied, especially since I booked late and couldn't get a family room, so I ended up booking two different room types for the two nights. However, the front desk helped us change both nights to family rooms, which I'm very grateful for. I feel like this hotel offers great value for money if you're traveling with a larger group. Perhaps because of this, breakfast was incredibly crowded – I almost don't remember ever seeing such a crowded hotel breakfast. For both days, we were seated at tables added in the aisle. What's more, after the staff cleaned the tables, they didn't set out cutlery, so we had to ask for it. One staff member was very polite, while another seemed quite displeased."
