Great facility with spacious room”
The location was perfect to wander around, two minute walk from the Nanjing Road and 15 minutes walk to the Bund (just go all the way on Jiujiang Road make no turn). We loved the swimming pool quite cozy, room was spacious and clean. Good facility! Staff are nice in general. The only negative thing was the Dinner buffet on GF, it costs CAD $80 per person and the choice was really quite limited. If you are not a big fan of crab you definitely shall avoid it...

Top-Notch Accommodations in a Perfect Location”
I stayed here for two nights for a casual weekend junket in Shanghai. While not the cheapest option, the Grand Central was great value for the money. Its location a block off the Nanjing Road pedestrian plaza, and within easy walking distance to People's Square, The Bund, and the subway puts hundreds of dining and entertaining options within easy reach. The hotel facilities itself are pleasing and comfortable. From the tastefully decorated highbrow lobby to the room itself, the Grand Central is clean, modern, updated, safe, and secure. Love the roomy glass shower stall with the gold-plated showerhead and accompanying hot tub. In-room safe has a 6-digit digital combo that you choose yourself, which always gives me peace of mind that my valuables are secure. My only disappointments: The view from the room, while not terrible, was uninspiring. I also asked for a king bed, but got a twin room instead. The desk informed me me that a king bed would be an extra CNY 600, which was disappointing. Overall, a favorable experience. The hotel delivered in a way that met or exceeded most of my expectations.

Perfectly settled in the centre ”
the hotel's location on century square and near the nanjing east road is just perfect. you can walk easily to people's park, the city temple or to the bund - but you don't need to. the welcome at this hotel was absolutely spectacular. in addition to the doorman who opened the car door and the page who took care of the luggage four other hotel staffs took a bow in the door ... - that the guest on his way to the front desk needs to cross the central located dining area contrasts the ebullient first impression a little. but the booked suite did let this waltz fade into the background. very dignified, very well designed, tasteful details, a stylish bathroom, plenty of space, great views, a fantastic bed - all at its finest. also nice, the little regards of the house, local delicacies, fruits and sweets – besides this the housekeeping here was simply outstanding. above all, the bed was dreamlike in its literal sense: i’ve rarely ever slept as comfortable as in the grand central - and more one couldn’t really expect in this regard from any hotel. if you want to find one flaw, then maybe in connection with the breakfast, which in terms of quality and selection oddly revealed clear shortcomings. but to make a big affair out of this would mean complaining at the highest level. the rooms were great, the sleep was as good as it can be – most unlikely that i would choose another place to stay in case of returning to this city.

Very Grand Hotel”
We stayed 2 nights at the Grand Central Hotel Shanghai, we loved the hotel,we walked into our room and wow! it was just beautiful everything about the room was grand, and in the evening when they did the turn down service they left us beautiful chocolates and slippers by the bed (made us feel very special).The staff are very polite and professional. The location was the best, just 1min walk to Nanjing Road, about 15min walk to the Bund, lots of cafes and eaterys around the hotel area. Would recomend this hotel to anyone going to Shanghai.

fantastic hotel in a great location”
we loved our stay at the Grand Central. The rooms are fantastic - beautifully decorated in old colonial style but also mixed with all the mod cons. The hotel is real luxury and for the price is it an absolute steal. The hotel's location is also perfect. It's a 5 minute walk to People's Square and the Metro, a 5 minute walk to the Bund and a minute from all the shops and stores. The pool and gym are also great. My only gripe is the staff at the front desk tried to charge us $150 for an early check in, which I thought was crazy. We only wanted to check in 2 hours early and there were lots of available rooms. I understand that you can't check in into a hotel if there are no rooms available, but if there are I don't think you should be charged for 2 hours. Anyways, apart from that, I highly recommend this hotel.

Quality hotel in great location”
Quality, modern hotel with good facilities. It is located one street away from the East Nanjing Road, about 250 m from E Nanjing Road metro station and easy walking distance to popular sights such as the Bund, Peoples' Square and the Shanghai Museum. We had visited Shangahi before so I chose this hotel for it's location and was not disappointed. We had arrived at HongQiao airport late at nigh so stayed overnight near to the airport, then got the metro to E Nanjing Road station (about 30 min and inexpensive) and had an easy flat walk to the hotel despite bulky luggage. The staff were friendly and helpful and we were happy to use the reasonable size indoor swimming pool. We were offered a reasonbly priced upgrade to a large comfortable room on the Executive Floor, which included a good buffet breakfast. The staff were helpful in organising a taxi to Pudong airport. I would stay here again if I need an hotel in central Shanghai.

Great Hotel With Great Service, Excellent Location”
How can express my feelings of my short trip to tbis beautiful country and its commercial hub Shanghai. My stay in Grand Central Hotel was excellent, room was all what they advertised, beautiful and exquisite. However, the tv channels were not clear coming on the tv of my room and the most important complain I have is that they charged me for early arrival 790 RNM as I arrived at the hotel at 8 am instead of 12 pm. Even though I booked it for the whole 4 days but they insisted that you arrived early and have to pay, which I did eventually and reluctantly. After this minor glitch at the start I never had any complains whatsoever. A beautiful place to stay which is so close to nanjing road where you can literally spend fews days just checking out shops. I loved the place and would love to go there again. My stay in Grand Central Hotel will always be with me as a pleasent memory.

Great choice in Shanghai”
It was a tough decision for my friend and I to choose hotel in Shanghai knowing the standard and rate in China can be quite different from other countries. We glad that we chose Grand Central despite some reviews said it has slow wifi. We had no problem with it and in fact even VPN works well for me. We love the fact that it is near Nanjing east station and it is very convenient (Family Mart is just behind the hotel, shopping district is just less than 5 minutes). It only cost us about RMB170 from Pudong airport to the hotel but it costs more from hotel to airport (RMB220).The only thing is we book the promo rate which is without breakfast, so can comment much on the food. Overall it was a pleasant stay. We will definitely go back if we are going to Shanghai again.

Great location”
we booked grand central as it is very centrally located. we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived, the hotel looks very grand and the bell boys immediately came to help with our luggage when we alighted from the taxi. the staff were friendly and spoke english well. the room was very comfortable although it would have been better if we had a view to the outside (our room faced the inside courtyard of the hotel). we loved the fact that we could just about walk to all the places we wish to visit, and the metro station is very near too. we did not eat in the hotel as there were so many places to eat around the hotel. but we had room service one morning as we were going on a tour and did not want to go out looking for breakfast. the congee was delicious! we would certainly stay here again if we return to shanghai.
