Central Hotel Shanghai
Spacious and near shopping street. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Only complaint is that it was hard to control the temperature of the shower head. Also, security wise can tighten as anybody can just go into the lift to go to the hotel levels. Otherwise, highly recommended
