“Four days at the Howard Johnson Shanghai”
This is a great hotel at the very epicenter of shanghai a short 2 minute walk to every where including the bund etc, the room was great the staff helpful and the best location and well priced, my wife and I spent four nights there on holiday in April 2012' the only criticisms we would have was the bed was a bit hard for our liking and the breakfast overpriced, however there are multiple choices to eat within two minutes of hotel at a fraction of the cost, over all a very good hotel a good experience would highly recommend and again fabulous location.
“Great hotel, great location”
Hotel in perfect location next to Nanjing Street East and few hundred yards from metro station. Staff were very helpful and all spoke English. Rooms were great and adequately sized. Only issue were beds mattresses are slightly harder than used to. Overall, recommend to anyone coming to Shanghai.
“Great location”
One block away Nanjing Road (Shanghai premier shopping street)
“Hard pressed to find better”
When I go overseas which is quite often I research the hotels I plan to stay at through the internet and I am happy to say I was NOT dissapointed with the Howard Johnson. I stayed 3 nights here and 3 at another hotel closer to some attractions I wanted to see. The location to Nanjing Road is prime. When I arrived I was upgraded to a business room ok I was not in prime tourist season. But still I was impressed. I am a bit of a gym junkie and they have a very good range of equipment. With the pool and spa I was happy I stayed here. For the quality and the price I think you would be hard pressed to find anything better. I have stayed at more expensive hotels that would struggle to compete.
“Great location, nice staff”
Perfect location for Nanjing Rd, The Bund and Shanghai Museum, staff very friendly and helpful. Food and service costs just a little more expensive than expected. Overall it was very good.
“100% Recomended”
Great hotel at a great location!
“Look no further!”
I had a great stay at the HoJo Shanghai. First rate hotel in a fantastic location. Easy to get to everything by foot or just a couple blocks from metro which goes to both airports. I am very happy I chose to stay here.
“Great hotel and location”
This is a very nice property. It is well situated with a great shopping area one block away. There is a Mc Donalds across the street and other affordable places to eat (Pizza Hut, KFC, etc.) as well as local Asian food. Don't be afraid by other people saying that walking to the hotel is not okay. It's only one block that you need to pay attention to your surroundings but it's okay. We enjoyed the location. The subway is about two blocks away and easy to get to. The Bund is walking distance as well as other attractions. Great location and hotel.
“Happy at Howard Johnson Plaza”
We booked an executive room, so that we would have a separate sitting room area to conduct training with our office staff in Shanghai. It was an ideal environment for our purpose. The only minor complaint about the stay was that the bed was a little hard - not as hard as many others in China, but even so, a little hard. We used room service a lot and the service and the food was excellent. The proximity to very busy Nanjing Road was perfect. There are 3 Starbucks within 3 blocks. Nanjing Road is full of name brands and department stores and shopping is very expensive. The days of cheap shopping in Shanghai are long gone. It's now an expensive city, as can be seen by the prices at the Howard Johnson, and other hotels in Shanghai. We would definitely recommend HoJo and would stay there again, although next time (which will be our 7th visit to Shanghai), we think we may try a hotel in the French Concession.
“Central Location”
Great Location to take in the delights of Shanghai. Ideally suited for exploring the city centre and a short taxi ride to the main tourist areas of the Bund and Pearl Tower etc. Food in the restaurant a rip off and over priced. Walk 2 minutes out of hotel for better and a lot cheaper options. Overall 5 stars for this hotels location, service and cleanliness
