I will not be inventive when I will say that the hotel has the best location of the city right on the pedestrian Nanjing road along which you have all the shops and malls you could dream of. It is also just a 10 minutes walk away from the Bund. The hotel, although old, has been renovated. The lobby is... more

If you are looking for a hotel on "Walking Street" then look no further than Sofitel Hyland. During my stay in China I have used the hotel on numerous occassions and have never been disappointed. The hotel backs onto "Walking Street" but beware of young ladies who offer to take you for "sexy dancing" as it will be an expensive... more

This hotel is very similar to other Sofitels in China. The rooms are quite nice, although not particularly spacious. I didn't find the property at all 'old and tired.' The location is great, on the pedestrian portion of Nanjing Road. You will be accosted with the usual "watches, bags, DVDs, jeans) a hundred times a day in this part of... more

No complaints about the actual hotel itself. Most of the staff are very helpful. The major let down is the disgusting food. We went for a burger in their Mosiac Restaurant. The meat was rancid. I was physically ill after 1 bite. Interestingly, the Manager did not seem to care at all. Breakfast was just as bad. Off cheese. Half... more

The Sofitel Hyland offers a very comfortable, modern experience in amongst the hustle and bustle that is Shanghai. City centre hotels are very often compromised by space or lack of facilities, but the Sofitel Hyland manages to offer excellent facilities with bright spacious rooms and to a very high standard. This hotel is located in one of the main shopping... more

Surprisingly good service and friendliness for shanghai. Located right on Nanjing road but quiet and secure. French and asian style good quality food. AF/KLM affiliated. Rooms good size with good amenities, concierge quick and helpful. 15 minutes walk to Bund or shanghai Museum. Hagen Daaz beside entrance and Starbucks closeby. more

We had the most amazing stay at the Sofitel Shanghai. We stayed for 4 nights and were upgraded to a suite as soon as we checked in! Fantastic staff. Very, very nice and helpful. What ever we needed, they helped us. The bar is great and very relaxing. There's an amazing pianist that plays popular songs all night, great when... more

This was our first trip to Shanghai and staying at this hotel made it very convenient to everything we wanted to do. You step out the door and you are right on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Mall. The room was very nice - not very big and the bathroom was a bit tired but nice just the same. The bar in... more

We stayed two nights at this hotel and could not have asked for a better location. It is in the center of the Shanghai shopping district, and we easily walked (15 minutes) to the Bund and Pearl Tower. Beautiful foyer, rooms were well designed but the layout of our room was strange- the TV had to be moved to watch... more
