This hotel is excellent for large tour groups like SmarTours. We stayed three nights. Great buffet breakfasts. Rooms are large and very clean. Only disadvantage is distance to the center of town. Since we were in a group, we were bussed to the attractions. A taxi would be required otherwise. Next year the city is hosting Expo 2010. Lots of... more

One of the best hotels Ive ever stayed in. I stayed here for a month I was in Shanghai with work. All parts of the hotel are top class. You can chose from 4 different Breakfast ranges, Chinese, Japanese, European and American. Hotel food was best in Shanghai but came at a high price. If you have the money or... more

I have stayed in there Pudong property, it's a lovely 5 star property in the out-skirts of Shanghai. Very close to free trade zone. Excellent value for money more

I stayed here for two nights (May 8-9, 2009) on a business meeting. This also happens to be the crew hotel for several major airlines. The first thing I like about this hotel is it's location. It's very easy to get a taxi (doorman will get it for you) and there are plenty of small to medium sized restaurants nearby... more

Stay there very often. Service on the exec lounge seems to depend on the people, some crews are very good, other talk among each other so loud that the guests cannot talk to each other. Rooms are nice, bathrooms quite small, but OK, no separate shower unfortunately. Nice job they have done in redesigning the lobby. Just missing the Italien... more

1.Sound insulation is very bad between rooms. I could clearly hear the person in the rooms next to me not to mention the TV, going to the toilet etc. 2.Strange vibration through the room sometimes like a boom car is passing very annoying – maybe a train, or a cinema but I couldn’t figure it out but it was there... more

I spent 8 days at The Crown Plaza Shanghai, and chose this Hotel as it was close to places I intended to visit during my stay. The Hotel is not located in the Toursit area and is about a half hour cab ride to The Bund and main shopping area of Shanghai (Nanjing Road). The rooms were modern, quiet and... more

Compared to a few other hotels I've had to stay in Shanghai, the Crowne Plaza is a good selection. The location is in a fairly quiet street, near Huating Lu, good for shopping. I was not able to check any of the services the hotel offered, as I was mostly in and out of the hotel late/early, as my schedule... more

We stayed at this hotel as part of a group tour of China. I was a little concerned about staying here at first, because on a map it seemed kind of far from the places we'd want to visit in Shanghai (i.e, museums, the Bund, the Pudong area, and the Old Town). One of the advantages, though, of going with... more
