“Grand Central Shanghai's artistic Bund-side”
Grand Central Hotel Shanghai is a beautiful, artistic grand-deco hotel — a perfect downtown zone two minutes from Nanjing Road between People's Park and the Bund, walkable to many places, spacious refreshed rooms with bathtubs kids loved, a beautiful hall, a great breakfast, and strong value. One severe dissent: a rate-mismatch stay — no toothbrushes provided (daily requests, poor quality), mediocre water, low-effort details, and a black-uniform breakfast server with bad attitude and unreasonable seating — the guest cut three nights to two and checked out early.
