I travel frequently for business in China, The Ocean hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms. It claimed as a 5-star hotel, I would give it 3.5-4 star. The location is not at a convenient location yet even though the area is still developing. The staff is not well trained for 5-star service, and not as friendly. It is still typical,... More

This hotel was one really nice place. The rooms were very large, modern, clean and comfortable. The location was good, the food was good, but the breakfast buffet seating area was tight. It was hard to find a seat, so some improvements are needed in that area. Also, upon check out the desk clerks tried to charge me $35.00 for... More

The hotel is clean and the rooms are nicely maintained. For me there is ended. The staff are not friendly and not welcoming. This includes the staff at the front desk, restaurant and revolving restaurant. They are not helpful and this can be very frustrating. The air conditioner in our room did not work. Each room has their own thermostat... More

It was our first in Shanghai and Chaina. Mi kid prefer the hotel with pool, so we chose this one. But (!) the poll is under reconstruction, but no comm about this on site and in travel agency. Too cold in restorant and room. The stuff isn't friendly and speakable English. No prob in other side

Hotel is nice and clean. Buffet breakfast was good. Room was comfortable, quiet and comfortable bed. Pool was under construction/repairs. Don't get room by elevators if you don't want cigarette smoke entering your room from elevator area. No wifi in room, only in lobby, but there was a wire line in room. The staff was not friendly at reception and... More

Our family was booked on a China Spree tour so our hotel destination was selected for us. I was pleasantly surprised with the spacious and modern rooms we were assigned, actually a mini-suite by most standards. There was plenty of space - foyer/dressing area, living area with L-shaped sofa and wet bar, king bed and a large Western bathroom with... More

We were at the Ocean Hotel as part of a tour group that encompassed sight seeing in Beijing and Shanghai. This hotel was great. The rooms were HUGE. As others have mentioned previously, the rooms consisted of a foyer, sitting, and bed area. The bathrooms were also quite large. The rooms were well appointed and internet was free if you... More

Pros: It's rennovated a few years ago and well maintained. Room (deluxe on 16th floor) is very spacious and elegantly divided into three sections: foyer, living area and bedroom. The bathroom is again spacious but seems to be wasteful. Breakfast is more westernized and offers a number of food items. Waiters and waitress are attentative and quick to clean up... More
