I was booked by a business associate and had no say over the choice of hotel. If I come back I'd definitely stay somewhere else, although the Park is a fascinating piece of Shanghai history and has been renovated up to Western standards, more or less. When I checked in I was advised I had been upgraded to a suite,... more

I just came back from a visit in Shanghai and we stayed in the Park Hotel near Nanjing Square. The Park hotel has some historical significance (it was the tallest building in Shanghai for some time) and its location is great because of it's proximity to Nanjing Square which is a pedestrian only shopping area with lots of food and... more

Having read the other reviews i can't fault the location, it was nice to be right in the center of the city but the hotel somehow of the other didn't quite appeal to me... I chose it because having stayed in china for over 3 weeks in diff hotels thought i might as well look for a more reasonable option... more

I would absolutely return. The hotel is actually a small piece of history as it is one of the oldest in Shangai. All in all it is well kept and a nice find! Great service and a comfortable setting. The Hotel is just off the famous Nanjing shopping district and within walking distance (for those who don't mind a bit... more

The Park must have had a renovation since some of the earlier reviews posted here. We found it clean and up-to-date, and looking younger than its long history might suggest. Its location is as good as it gets and it appears that all the new competition is keeping the Park’s rates modest. There are many new choices around that are... more

Pro: its location Con: noisy, old, smelly, service all below average i recommend Central Hotel located at Jiu Jiang Rd near Nanjing Rd, it's a newer and cleaner and better service hotel more

The first room I received was on the 3rd floor which is non-smoking. It was a very large corner suite. The windows are single pane and it sounded like the traffic outside was coming through my room. The bed was the worst of the three hotels in China I stayed at. I spoke to the front desk eand was moved... more

We chose this hotel because we wanted to stay in the centre of Shanghai . The setting was ideal, right on the edge of Peoples Square and we enjoyed walking round it (and underneath where there is an enormous shopping precinct aimed mainly at teenagers).The hotel was a superb art deco period piece and apparently had been Mao's favourite hotel... more

Arrived at hotel tired after a long flight only to find that they did not have our booking. WE BOOKED THIS LAST NOVEMBER. After 40 minutes the girl on the desk decided to give us a room for the night but informed us that we would have to take it up with the booking agent in the morning. We told... more
