Central Hotel Shanghai

Central Hotel Shanghai

10/10 Excellent
"We had a very pleasant stay at Central Hotel Shanghai. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located close to many attractions, shopping, and restaurants, which made it very easy for us to get around. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the check-in and check-out process was reasonable and smooth. We did have a small issue with the shower drainage, but after we contacted the front desk, someone was sent to our room right away and took care of the problem promptly. Overall, we were happy with our stay. The convenient location, cleanliness, and quick response from the staff made our experience a good one. We would consider staying here again on a future visit to Shanghai."
