My stay at City Hotel Shanghai had its ups and downs. The location was great, allowing me to walk to major shopping areas, but the service let me down with language barriers. The room was clean, but the amenities could use some improvement. Overall, it was a mixed experience.

Rooms
5.0
The room was small but clean, with a good bed. However, the shower was dirty with mold along the edges, and the carpets needed cleaning. I had also requested a non-smoking room, but initially, I was given a smoking one, which was frustrating (thankfully, they eventually found my request).

The hotel's location on Shanxi Road was fantastic-proximity to shopping areas made it convenient for me. However, it was far from important places like Pudong Airport and the Bund, which required taxis.

Breakfast was included and had a mix of Western and Asian options, but the selection was not great. The dining area felt a bit chaotic with staff loudly cleaning tables while people were still eating.
Facilities

Wi-Fi was included eventually after some back and forth about charges, but it was slow and not suitable for important work. The hotel offered basic amenities like laundry and ticket assistance, but I couldn't get good assistance for local travel queries.
