Before our trip, I read many reviews about the Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World, including some negative ones. After our stay, I can say that I disagree with many of them. We genuinely liked the hotel and were very satisfied.
The biggest advantage is its excellent location. The hotel is situated in a very convenient spot, making it easy to reach major attractions, shops, and restaurants. This is crucial for a large city like Shanghai.
We booked a standard room, but upon check-in, we were upgraded to a business-class room for free. This was a very pleasant surprise. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the city. The evening view of Shanghai was particularly impressive.
Some reviews mention wear and tear on the furniture and small chips. Yes, there were indeed a few minor imperfections here and there, but for us, this was absolutely not a problem. The most important thing was that the room was clean, comfortable, and everything worked as it should. Small signs of use did not detract from our overall impression of the hotel.
We also enjoyed the breakfasts. The selection of dishes was good, the ingredients were fresh, and the service was attentive. Everything was tasty, clean, and well-organized.
The hotel has good restaurants and bars. While the prices aren't the lowest, the food is delicious and interesting. Some dishes were unusual for us, but that's precisely why they were memorable. If you don't feel like going to a restaurant, I can recommend ordering food directly to your room. The room service menu has quite reasonable prices, especially for a hotel of this caliber. We ordered dishes to our room – everything was delivered neatly, the food was fresh, tasty, and the portions were adequate. After a long day of exploring Shanghai, this is a very convenient option.
I want to specifically highlight the staff. They were attentive and friendly towards us, and responded normally to requests. The service was of a good standard, and we felt comfortable throughout our stay.
Overall, we were very satisfied with our trip and the hotel. Shanghai is an amazing city, and the hotel's great location made our journey even more convenient and enjoyable.
I can confidently recommend this hotel. Yes, it's not brand new, and you might find some minor imperfections, but they are insignificant. The good location, cleanliness, delicious breakfasts, decent service, beautiful views, and the option to enjoy tasty food both in the restaurants and in your room – all of these were much more important to us. If we visit Shanghai again, we would gladly stay here.
