Top Cathay Theatre Hotel Reviews

Grand Central Hotel Shanghai

8/10 Good

"The Hotel is beautiful. But the staff doesn't speak/understand any English. Not comfortable catering area for breakfast - just in the hall of the hotel. The food variety is Ok"

The Westin Bund Center, Shanghai

8/10 Good

"Our stay at this place was excellent; it was a very pleasant experience. There was an exquisite variety at breakfast, and the staff who attended to us were very friendly. I highly recommend The Westin Bund."

The Langham, Shanghai, Xintiandi

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel location is very well . Good value for money with spacious rooms & well preserved design ."

Jin Jiang Hotel Shanghai

10/10 Excellent

"Great location within a large block of mixed hotels….gave it a positive review because everything was good but things I didn’t like but difficult to fix were the floors in rooms at different heights and the lobby floor had some unusual ramps but probably because of the building."

Shanghai Marriott Marquis City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room Variety of breakfast Nearby city market, garden, popular street Friendly staff daisy, Stephen"

Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World

8/10 Good

"Great location, our second stay here. Rooms are very dated and require refurbishment, carpet was lifting and furniture worn. Public areas and breakfast all very good."

Crowne Plaza Shanghai Nanjing Road by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I was here for a short business trip. While the interior design appeared alittle dated, the service level was exceptional. I absentmindedly left my watch in the room and had to make arrangements to retrieve it. The process was smooth and the response from GSM was fast. Thank you so much to all the staff and GSM I interacted with . Will definitely consider the hotel in my next visit."

The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the hotel. Location was ideal alot of high end shopping in the area and very beautiful part of Shanghai. Room was serviced spotless each day, and I appreciate cleaning even late in the day they came to clean it. When I first arrived and the young man at the concierge desk (Jayson?) was able to help me with an issue I was having and I really appreciate that. I have stayed in many 5 star hotels in Asia and took a star off for the following reasons. Front door staff seemed aloof and mostly uninterested in assisting guests either by opening the front doors or vehicle doors for guests. This is clearly a business hotel for international guests. WIFI was ABSOLUTELY USELESS. I lost count of how many people I heard complaining about it or their Whatsapp not working, or can't get into email, etc etc. I have to log into work each day, if I can't access my VPN I cant log into work my log in would be immediately frozen if a IP address from China showed. Im lucky I had an Esim and data plan was able to work around the issue, I fear many others won't be as fortunate. Overall I would stay again."

The Kunlun Jing An

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room every day and very friendly staff"
