Review summary

The Grand Central Hotel Shanghai is favored for its spacious and luxurious rooms, often described as looking straight out of a movie, and boasting rainfall shower heads and baths. Its central location places guests steps from Nanjing Road, close to the Bund and a 3-minute walk to the metro station, allowing easy access to shopping, dining, and cultural sites; some guests, however, have noted that the hotel looks a little dated. The breakfast receives high marks for its excellent choices, including both Western and Asian dishes.

excellent stay!

excellent access key location convenient subway steamed baozi
the hotel provided excellent access to key locations. i found the proximity to the subway (line 2, exit 4) particularly useful. opposite exit 4, i discovered a shop selling tasty steamed baozi. i appreciated the easy access to nanjing road and the bund.
During checkout, there was a slight delay. I wasn't immediately offered assistance with my luggage as i loaded it into the cab.

I stayed in a spacious room. breakfast offered excellent choice. I found many options with both western and asian dishes. the hotel's location is fabulous. It is directly across from the main shopping street.
The towels provided had some small holes. It felt a bit lazy that cleaning staff did not discard them.
