Howard Johnson Plaza Shanghai  

Excellent location, just one block to Nanjing road and 2-3 blocks to People´s square. Many shops and restaurants in the neighborhood.Very silent room, good shower and soft bed/pillows. Clean room and bathroom. Fast free internet.

Poor lights in the room, almost impossible to read. Front desk staff should be more friendly. Janitor was not able to call a taxi.

Its located near the main shopping street nanzing road.the metro line is 7 min walk from the hotel...hotel staff is friendly and helpful but theyhave dificulty understanding english

Room size was 2 small even for two people,the room hygiene was poor.my room carpet had nails coming out of it which pierced in my foot...no gud variety of tea with the kettle was again sad

Hotel was is a great location. Central to everything and/or easy cab ride away.

Hotel beds were horrible and hard as a rock. I woke up each morning with pain in my back. I'd expect more for a 5 star hotel. Concierge was not helpful

Location and quality

Location and room

Perfect Location near the shopping street and a clean room with a nice view.

nothing, everything was ok

Good location, just in front of people square & Nanjing road

No available taxi sometime especially in rush hour.

perfect location next to Nanjing Road shopping. Close to Bund and East Nanjing metro stop

Room was huge but dated

+ Location + Luxury

- Room amenities too expensive - Wi-fi in rooms very bad.

Location, location, location, contiguous with Nanjing Road East & West downtown Shanghai and only a few blocks from the financial district. This hotel is no less than a 4 star. Staff spoke good English, was attentive and willing to provide needed services when asked. It is more cost effective for arriving travelers to take shuttle bus downtown for modest price and then take taxi to hotel, about a 75 percent savings over paying for cab from airport to hotel. Excellent guest room quality with all the amenities. Rooms on north side face beautiful view of Nanjing Road and all its flashing lights and shoppers. Back side not such nice view. I chose this hotel mainly because of free Wi-Fi, and it was good, but not the fastest speeds always.

Although pricing is reasonable consistent with a 4 star hotel quality, budget travelers may find it too pricy, especially prices for food and drink. Guests on a budget, though, will find plenty of restaurants with quality food with very modest prices a couple of blocks behind hotel. Wi-Fi service always was available, but speeds were sometimes slow in early evening when everyone was most likely using the service. Even on holiday, I place high priority on staying connected, and I choose only hotels with free Wi-Fi with good consistent connection and speed. On a scale of 5, I give this hotel a 3.5 with Wi-Fi.

The wifi connection which is complimentary, location nearby to shopping district and metro, near to halal restaurant/cafe. Plus, nearby sightseeing stop which is just in front of the hotel. Attentive staff and well spoken english.

I stayed for 6 nights but no room upgrading.

Great location, good facilities, friendly staff (good English speakers).
