We spent a night at this hotel during our China tour. I didn't notice the dirty carpets that others have complained about in their reviews. The breakfast was excellent and is served in the atrium that offers a gorgeous view straight up the inside of the towering building, with giant scrolls running down the walls. Our room (not sure if... more

just returned from the galaxy hotel... Checked in all looked fine. Got up to the room and all I can say is DIRTY. Carpets looked like a construction worker had tried to ground mud into the carpet. afraid to take off our shoes...found the slippers and put them on as a barrier to the carpet. Not sure all the towels... more

I stayed at this hotel to attend an exhibition at the Exposition. Its certainly not as local is made out on the information I got, and its a good 20 minute walk (and you have to cross some major 10 lane roads) to get there! This hotel is ok - the second room I got was ok, having rejected the... more

Nice Hotel with good amenities and ample room space. Covers good view of Shanghai from hotel room and lobby. Thanks to the room and interior heating system which makes us to forget that we are in a city where outside temperature is sub zero. Located in the heart of city and having good connectivity with main attractions of city. Nice... more

Stayed here for one night as we could not get accommodation in Renaissance for our full stay in Shanghai. It is located in the same business district as Renaissance and costs something like 70% of what Renaissance charges. A good value for money at the price you pay with all standard business facilities as well as a pool and gym.... more

I moved here from my return from Jinan as this Hotel was cheaper than the Renaissance Yangtze...and I wish I hadn't. This Hotel is huge! No personal touch at all and full of loads of tourists and tour Operations. The Housekeeping staff went to the extent of trying to charge me for water and sanitary napkins without a bill. There... more

Its really quite hard where to start describing the Galaxy as it tries to be all things to all people. Its well located in Shanghai for most business areas and perhaps has a better western food selection than most other hotels I've stayed in in Shanghai. (The breakfast is great..) Also the view from the top floor (32nd floor) bar,... more

The hotel was not remodeled for the last years, therefore you will find dirty carpets and bathrooms and beds. When you arrive at night a lot of chinese girls wait for you to come to your room... The breakfast was o.k. but very expensive (about 20 USD) Never again! more

We just returned to Canada from staying at the Galaxy in Shanghai on our tour. The hotel lobby on the 1st and 2nd floors are very elegant. The hotel room was nice but nothing exceptional. The carpets were dirty as were the other two hotels we stayed. The breakfast was better than average and the service was great. The reception... more

I escorted a tour to China and our group stayed 2 nights at the Galaxy Shanghai. Although in the middle of nowhere, the first impression of this large convention hotel was excellent....beautiful huge lobby, bar with live entertainment, nice restaurants and friendly bell boys. When we got off the elevator on the 10th floor, I remarked that the rugs in... more
