Park Hotel Shanghai

Apart from the modern toilet, the rest of the facilities feel quite dated and full of history. The place is clean and tidy, and the beautiful surroundings really let you soak in the historical charm. The service was exceptionally attentive and thoughtful.

Choosing a higher-floor room ensures an unobstructed view. You can see the New World City, Shimao International Plaza, and Nanjing Road, with its brilliant lights at night. Right across the street, there are bus stops and Exit 8 of People's Square Metro Station (Lines 1, 2, and 10). Walking across People's Square and through the underground pedestrian passage leads you straight to the Shanghai Museum. At the entrance, the bell staff kindly helped with our luggage into the hotel. The front desk service was excellent, the guest room was clean, the bathroom facilities were very new, and the shower area was spacious. However, the bathroom door is right next to the toilet, and the smart toilet automatically opens whenever it senses someone entering the bathroom. From the first night until we checked out on the third day, there was a severe sewage odor in the toilet. The bed linens were comfortable. We were given 3 bottles of water on the first day, and 2 bottles on the second. When we asked for two more, they provided them promptly. There are some fast-food restaurants on Huanghe Road right next to the hotel. Overall, it's a great hotel, and I would choose to stay here again. The breakfast options were standard yet decent, the service was attentive and prompt, and the ambiance was quite pleasant.

Location: There are bus stops and subway stations right across the street, which is super convenient. Hailing a cab is also a breeze, and the area right in front of the entrance is very spacious. The hotel is close to the Shanghai Grand Theatre, and the New World City mall is just about 200 meters away. Service: The service is friendly and attentive. At the main entrance, a staff member thoughtfully helps put waterproof plastic bags on umbrellas. Luggage storage is available on the left side of the front desk. Facilities: The rooms are clean and tidy, and the bedding is extremely comfortable! (Both my friend and I couldn't stop raving about it). However, since it's an older hotel, soundproofing is inevitably an issue; in the morning, noises from the hallway outside can be heard quite clearly in the room. Also, because the elevators require a room key card to operate, there are no delivery robots. Instead, food delivery lockers are set up in a small corner near the main entrance. You have to go downstairs to pick up your deliveries yourself, which is a bit inconvenient. *Other Comments:* You can scan the QR code on the desk in the room to order butterfly pastries (sablés). You can schedule a delivery time, and they will be brought right to your room door.

The location is fantastic, right in the very center of Shanghai. It's opposite People's Park, close to New World City, and within very easy walking distance of Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.

This century-old hotel truly lives up to its reputation. The hotel itself is a story. The location is incredibly convenient, with nearby attractions all within walking distance. It was a fantastic experience, and don't forget to buy some butterfly pastries (hudiesu)!

I booked this for a foreign client. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival and a weekend, so many hotels didn't have full availability. My client needed to stay for several days, and changing rooms mid-stay would have been a hassle. Luckily, I found availability at the International Hotel. The only downside is that it's a bit far from the Bund. However, the hotel service was good, and the front desk staff were very friendly! There are small performances daily, and you'll find quite a few foreign guests here!

I stayed here just for the butterfly pastries, to avoid the queues. The bathtub drain in the room was practically non-existent, and the AC was freezing. I took a photo of the breakfast bread, and just as I was about to grab a piece, I spotted a huge insect I'd never seen before crawling out... Some reviews said the breakfast was good, but honestly, it was terrible. The baked goods were dry and stale, like they'd been sitting out for days. The fried noodles were completely bland, and the wonton soup I got was cold. After just one night, both of us woke up with red, itchy spots all over our bodies.

This was my first stay at the Park Hotel Shanghai, and I was very satisfied. The location is convenient, the breakfast is delicious, the staff are friendly, and the room is comfortable. I also enjoyed seeing the hotel's historical exhibition. I'll definitely come back next time.
