Stayed in this hotel two times respectively in Oct 2012 and in April this year. The room was a deluxe business one and was very spacious with comfortable layout both for the room and bathroom. Although located in the middle of the city, it was very quiet and peaceful in the room. The room service was nice although the food... More

Room and furnishings all clean and well maintained throughout our stay. Staff was terrific and very attentive. They worked hard to make us feel comfortable. We made full use of the amenities and met lots of the other guests for great conversation. If you don't feel like mingling, though, there are little spots where you can keep to yourself.

Grand Central is a beautiful five-star hotel with many lovely features. But our favourite was the peaceful, quiet escape from the marvellous madness of Shanghai. Our room, a standard one overlooking an interior courtyard, was spacious. The bathroom, with large shower and separate bath was beautiful. The room had a giant, comfortable bed, large-screen TV and an ample desk area.... More

Returning to Shanghai for the first time since 1993 was a very positive experience, not the least due to Grand Central. This is a true 5-star hotel in the centre of Shanghai.

Only stayed 1 night but was impressed by the hotel, the room, breakfast and staff efficiency. Rooms and public area were spotless, everything in the room functioned, breakfast was more than adequate with many options. Hotel is well situated in downtown area.

This is one of the best hotels we've stayed in and we've travelled the world. I booked a good deal on Agoda, an Atrium king room which did not include breakfast. At the equivalent of $AUD 60 per day for two breakfasts we chose to have our breakfast in the Old French Quarter, a short metro ride. The final morning... More

Our room had great views over Nanjing Road, especially at night. It was spacious, clean and very elegant with a beautiful recessed ceiling and spacious marble bathroom with every luxury. Service was unobtrusive, but a request for a British adapter was met within one minute. Breakfast was good, but not exceptional, and the Chinese meal we had in the a... More

Very efficient check-in service. Rooms have good furniture, very comfortable bed, and nice shower/bathroom. Room was cleaned, and had a turn-down service each night. Free WiFi router was made available for the duration of the stay, which was convenient. Only area's for improvement was breakfast that is needed, would be the quality of food and presentation improvement
