Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Grand Central Hotel Shanghai enjoys a superb location right next to Nanjing Road, placing guests within a block of the famous street and a short walk from the metro, making it ideal for exploring the city. Many guests find the rooms spacious and appreciate the comfortable beds. While some have mentioned the decor appears somewhat old-fashioned, the hotel's proximity to shopping and dining, sometimes just steps away with Lawson and Family Mart nearby, often makes it a great value for money.
