I’ve stayed several hotel brand around China, I decided to try local brand too but during my longest stay in Shanghai I stick back in holiday inn which I frequently stay whenever I travelled. I must admit my decision staying with holiday inn because the international standard and quality remained! As well as the receptionist which checking in and out. They’re friendly and efficient, OO and Una are helpful with our luggage. Location is slightly far away from the metro but the surrounding is convenient, I prefer to walk around to experience the city, I actually walked from Wu Kang Building and back to the hotel, along the way there’s many shops , night bars and very interesting. That is the direction behind the hotel. Room is spacious and clean. I must give compliment to the air conditioning!! It’s. It’s not centralized like in some local hotel, during this summer it hit 40 degree! The Aircond is a savior and cooling fast.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us during your visit to Shanghai. We're thrilled our international standards met your expectations.Special thanks for recognizing our team members' friendly service and luggage assistance - we'll proudly share your compliments. Our front desk takes great pride in delivering seamless check-in/out experiences.While located a short walk from the metro, we're glad you enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. The vibrant Wu Kang Building area and nearby Jing'an Temple Commercial Area (featuring Jing'an Kerry Centre and Plaza 66) perfectly showcase Shanghai's charm. Historic Julu Road's boutiques and cafés offer more local flavor.We're especially pleased our air conditioning provided comfort during the 40-degree heat, and that you found your room spacious and clean.Thank you for your loyalty. We look forward to welcoming you back to discover more of Shanghai!Best wishes, IHG Social Listening Team

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. We lived in a room on the 11th floor with a view of the city. The room is small but cozy. The window opens for ventilation. The towels were changed during cleaning. There is no closet in the room. The breakfast is Chinese-style, but varied and delicious. Free coffee and tea are available in the lobby. There is a welcome-drink in the mini-bar. A small souvenir was presented during the departure. Thank you for your hospitality!
Response from Property: Dear Guest, we are delighted that you stayed with us for two nights and truly appreciate your kind feedback. It is an honor to know that you enjoyed the beautiful view and cozy atmosphere of your room on the 11th floor, as well as the added comfort provided by the openable window. Our housekeeping team takes pride in maintaining the highest standards, and we are thrilled that you appreciated the towel change service during your room cleaning. While the room does not have a traditional closet, we are glad the open-style wardrobe allowed you to easily access your belongings. We hope you enjoyed our rich and delicious breakfast, complemented by freshly brewed coffee made from premium coffee beans through our partnership with Luckin Coffee. May it have provided you with ample energy for your journey. Your kind words mean a great deal to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

Great location with good service. Room was quiet and clean. Jing'an Temple and Kerry Centre within walking distance along with easy connections to transit options. Breakfast included was good also with Chinese and Western selections. The entrance is a bit set back from the main road and is a shared road with a few other businesses. So, limited parking available
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for staying at our hotel and sharing your feedback. We are delighted to know that you were able to easily explore Jing'an Temple and Kerry Centre on foot, and that you enjoyed our delicious and diverse breakfast, excellent service, and quiet, clean rooms. Your recognition makes all our efforts worthwhile. We fully understand your concerns regarding the hotel entrance and parking.

We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back in the future and providing you with an even better experience. Thank you once again for your valuable input! Best regards, IHG Social Listening Team

The staff was curteous and quick to remedy room issue. The facility was clean and looked new. Guest laundry was nice and complementary, a huge plus given the hot summer weather. Breakfast was generous and delicious selection of Chinese and Western foods. Great location,close to metro, transport, shopping and restaurants (only a couple of stops away from the Bund), but quiet and not crowded.
