I decided to stay at the Howard Johnson as this was my first trip to Shanghai and I wanted to be in a fairly central location. Being a business trip of 3 days, time to see the city was also limited, so the central location worked well. Being right near Nanjing Rd, there are many shops - both individual and... more

Great location near Nanjing Road (though not as good as Sofitel). Great breakfasts choices and tastes. Nice clean rooms. Had a good view of Nanjing Road. Overall great stay. more

Decided to try 1 night with this hotel after few nights stays with Westin. Location wise is great, right next to Nanjing road, nearby People's park where you wil find Tai Chi excercises in the morning. Also the Shanghai museum which is within the park. Staff extremely helpful and also encourage me to join their membership ( free) in order... more

I read some reviews on here and got a bit worried, but this hotel was fine. Found the staff helpful and the location is excellent. Very reasonable price too. I would certainly recommend it. more

There is plenty to do around the hotel to blend in Shanghai’s local’s lifestyle. We went to People’s park in the early morning to watch people practice Tai Chi, walked around Nanjing... more

posh hotel, great service, however the adjacent open market as people chase you for marketing, try for high floor for an excellent view more

The hotel is in a superb location - it could hardly be better. Near the Bund, Nanjing Shopping Street etc,. The hotel is very good - impressive lobby, good modern rooms - many with great views. I got a good deal on the room by booking online. I didn't eat breakfast at the hotel - I thought that it was... more
