The Central Hotel Shanghai is just that - located on a street parallel to Nanjing Road, the main shopping street in Shanghai and only about ten blocks from the Bund, and 5 or so blocks from the famous Fulong Garden. Service, both front desk and concierge, were helpful and it was just a pleasant stay overall.

Arrived yesterday Friday around 3pm , Receptionist lacking in warmth but I think that's a cultural thing more than anything but its a bit off putting and disconcerting . But the room definitely made up for it. It's right in the heart of the city so I dumped the bags and went for a walk to the Bund . You... More

The best location specially for first timers in a very crowded and non English speaking city...Nanjing road is just right across the hotel and the city sight seeing bus which is very affordable and the best way to explore the city is just a few steps away. For only 30 RMB you have the whole day to explore..hop on hop... More

There is nothing to complain about this hotel in terms of location, room amenities, cleanliness and food. The one thing that would make this hotel look bad is the attitude of the ladies at the front desk. During check-in I walked up to one of them and said hello but did not get any response. When I tried to show... More

We booked this hotel at for a last minute trip to Shanghai. The hotel is very well located and is very comfortable. Staff were excellent and spoke very good English.

My friend and I spent a wonderful three days at this hotel. It's classy, well-maintained, centrally located, friendly and extraordinarily good value for money. This is a hotel I would definitely make my base for my next visit to Shanghai. If the hotel re-instated their airport shuttle service, it would be perfect! A very BIG thank you to the staff... More

Most guests looked to be Chinese. So as a westerner, I could feel the differences as compared with other hotels like Le Meridian. For example: smoking is permitted in all common areas. Few staff speak English, so you often have to wait for an English speaker to be brought to you. They botched up a courier delivery, and failed to... More
