Shanghai Marriott Marquis City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, great hospitality and great amenities. The rooms look newer than the pics and the Gym is larger too (Has a Stepper, multiple treadmills, multiple freeweights, bench press, 2 cable machines, a smith machine, an enitre gym). Would come to Shanghai just to be here. "

Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai

6/10 Okay

"Hotel was decent, nothing special. Breakfast was ok - not fresh for sure. I was there for 1 week and it was the same everyday, I could tell it wasn't fresh. Only fresh thing was the guy making egg omelette. Surprisingly hardly anybody at the hotel spoke English. Very difficult to communicate, I didn't expect it as you would expect a high end hotel to. I personally wouldn't pay all that money to come here again, would rather pay less/half and go elsewhere. It was my 1st time in China/Shanghai. If I had of known it would be been like that then I would have rather stayed elsewhere and saved some money. As I've mentioned it wasn't anything special."
