Metropolo Classiq Shanghai Bund Circle

Everything was perfect. Except difficulty in communication whihc was expected.

The location is about 8-10 min walk from Nanjing Road East metro station. The area is pretty quiet in the evenings even though it's just a 5-minute stroll to the Bund. I was upgraded into a bigger room overlooking the inner court (of aircon compressors). The room was nice and comfortable. However, the shower was clogged up with other guests' hair! Got the chambermaid to clear it.

The room was huge and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was spacious with lots of marble and a heated toilet seat. Location was great with a 2 block walk to the Bund, and a short walk to the main shopping mall. Breakfast was available, but we did not have it, as it was quite expensive as was the draft beer. The staff was quite helpful, but had a hard time with the english language. Our main disappointment was that we had seen pictures of the view from the top, and were looking forward to seeing it. However, we were told that it was only available to guests with suites. We thought this was quite misleading.

Thanks to Mr Yang who had served us well with the check-in and assisted us to make the calls to reserve the dining. It would be perfect if the hotel could allow us to run the air conditioner when the temperature has gone up.

Some of the staff seemed to lack training, but concierge was great. I was sick, and he found me an excellent doctor. Facilities were once top notch, but are starting to look a bit shabby. Fabulous location, good restaurant. Wifi was spotty.
