Top China Hotel Reviews

Sunworld Hotel Beijing Wangfujing

10/10 Excellent

"In many parts of the world this would be a 5 star hotel. Clean and spacious rooms, fancy restaurants onsite, luxurious lobby, fast Wifi and elevators. Great location, within walking distant to Wangfujing Shopping Street. I walked to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square twice via Wangfujing Street. Very nice and pleasant walk. Or only $3 USD taxi ride. The hotel staff is the friendliest I've ever had. The clerks will assist you with just about anything you need or want to do. The housekeeping team is excellent. There is a bank, 7-Eleven, and a cafe style restaurant directly across the street. The restuarant/cafe has seating and a walkup window and sells super-size Chinese wraps (deliciously filled) along with a bowl of rice porridge for about $1.75 USD. I was able to split the meal into breakfast as lunch. Just down the street that are many other places to eat. I also like that when they order a taxi for you they tell you approx how much you will be charge and they give you a card with the hotel clerk direct number if you need assistance while out exploring the city. Don't worry about language as just about everyone in Beijing has language translators on their phone. A true 4.5 star hotel for fraction of what a U.S. hotel will cost per night. The hotel, staff, and location make this hotel an absolute bargain. "

Radisson Collection Hyland Shanghai

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for first time visitors to Shanghai. Building a bit dated but room was spacious and clean, beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly, professional and very efficient. Many options at breakfast buffet. Tons of great restaurants within walking distance. The walk to the Bund is a must do both at day and at night. "

Conrad Shanghai

8/10 Good

"I just wrapped up a 10 visit to Shanghai, and spent my entire time at the Conrad Hilton property. I was pleased with the very central location in the city of the hotel, and from my 39th floor room I was more than happy with the sweeping city views, looking directly down on the green oasis of the People's Park. The elevator situation was a bit confusing to begin with (due to the unusual shape of the building), but that was soon sorted and I moved freely between the propertys facilities. The 10th floor pool provided sweet views of the surrounding neighborhood and the gym was good sized and open 24 hours a day, something I made frequent use of. My king suite was super comfortable and well appointed and I especially appreciated the city view desk and more than ample closet space- a must as I travel for many months per year. As for the staff I would like to take a moment to acknowledge and show my appreciation to the following folks- a huge thank you to (French national) Hugo in guest relations who helped me out in many ways and made the hotel feel like a home over my week+ stay, to (Thai national) Thena whose cheerful demeanor and daily greetings cheered me up immensely and (Chinese national) Rosemary the ever evervesant 'elevator lady' who guided guests and was a genuine hostess for the hotel and a bright personality who made many of the guests smile and happy as they descended to the lobby to begin their day- I thank you most sincerely, you made my visit a memorable one.."

Renaissance Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel on the Bund by Nanjing Road

4/10 Poor

"Long past its prime, this hotel is in need of renovation and updating. The lack of in-room climate control was especially bothersome. Some of the staff were incredibly professional and helpful, others seemed absolutely bothered. We left after our first night and had bites to our exposed skin for the rest of our time in Shanghai, which we believe must have come from the hotel. Location is ok but not nearly as convenient as others on Nanjing Road or the the Bun. "
