The hotel is centrally located at the back of Nanjing Road which is the main shopping strip. Very close to the Bund. The hotel is well appointed with restaurants, gym, pool and billiards . The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Recommend for business but also families.

Really good furnishings, furniture, layout, lobby, rooms, bathrooms, fittings, toiletries, conveniences including ipod dock, accessories, location, fitness centre and spa. The minuses: staff doesn't speak English, the wine list is poor esp. by the glass, the food choice is poor. They have a strange practice of presenting you the check BEFORE they serve the food alongwith the statement: "I need... More

I have stayed at Grand Central Shanghai 4-5 times the last year, the latest visit in April 2012. The check-in and check-out procedures are always quick and efficient. The staff here is very attentive and service minded. The hotel looks very old (nice old that is), and as soon you enter you realize it is all very new but built... More

On our first day in China we stayed at the Grand Central Hotel in the business suite which consisted of a very large room with beautiful furniture, a king size bed and a huge bathroom fir for a king. The hotel room was wonderful.

The hotel is one street away from Naijing road- the shopping street so location is ideal.the hotel is very well appointed with an old world feel.

I stayed here for 3 days over the 2012 grand prix weekend. This is a large hotel not far from the Bund. It is Grand with a great lobby area. The rooms are also well equiped and spacious. The concierge was excellent in helping arrange restaurants and trips away from the centre.

The Grand Central Hotel Shanghai is a beautiful hotel built in about 2005. There is lots of marble, glass and polish. Our room was as quiet as could be reasonably expected in the middle of a bustling city. The location was very close to the main shopping area and several of the main tourist sites. Room service was excellent and... More

I travel internationally a lot and I have four main priorities when selecting a hotel other than location, which is unique to each person’s travel needs: 1) solid air conditioning that can be controlled from the room, 2) no-smoking rooms that truly are no-smoking rooms (read: no nasty smell in the room), 3) free in-room wi-fi, and 4) access to...
