Good service, kind and polite and certainly helpfull. The hotel itself is renovating (which is nescessary). The rooms are small. Breakfast buffet was very bad. I have been in other hotels in Shanghai, but this was the worst I had. So if you book, don't book with breakfast, and go to the Starbucks at 50m from the hotel. The location... More

The city hotel is quite a nice place, especially for the cost, given its location. They are undergoing a renovation right now, so occasionally we were disturbed by carpet shampooing or elevator repairs, but all in all no big deal. The rooms have all of the basic things that a traveler needs, a soft bed (by China standards, anyway), a... More

I am actually a resident in the City Apartments adjacent to City Hotel and have access to the gym. My review is confined only to the gym. It's ok for what I want to do conveniently, but I plan to join a real gym. The gym has 2 decent treadmills from a not very famous brand (and calibrated to what... More

The hotel location and staff are actually both very good. Unfortunately the hotel is at the time of writing undergoing much needed renovations. No problem with this, however, the advertised times for the renovations are between 0930 and 1700hrs, NOT 2300 on a Thursday night! This hotel caters primarily to business travellers so this lack of consideration to their guests... More

My third stay at this hotel and I think now there are probably better alternatives. The area itself has diminished in a few short years. Obviously this is not the faiult of the hotel, but they seem to have gone down with it. Issue with airconditioner was basically ignored. Breakfast was of poor quality and selection. More

Dirty and unkind staff. I can give precise examples like: Already used towels: they were wet and with some lipstick. The tableware had spots of egg, chocolate and cereals of all the people that had already had breakfast in the same table. Nobody smiled. We asked to be helped getting a taxi drive to understand the address we wanted to... More

Good staff tho their English knowledge is not that great. Loved the view from my room on floor 14. They have non smoking floors, people smoke at breakfast tho. The breakfast buffet is not very good, not great quality of food and it sits there for 3,5 hours so the pancakes are like rubber. A plus for western options like... More
