ラディソン ブル上海浦東ジンチャオ (上海宝龙丽笙酒店) (上海)

Receptions are not good command of English speaker conpare to other hotel.

This hotel is very comfortable, but the biggest attraction is being close to a Shanghai Huawei research facility - based on my conversations with co-workers, there are only two reasonable hotels in the area, and we ALL stay at this one. The area around the hotel is limited - not many choices for restaurants or shopping. The hotel is near at least one subway station (Gutang Road), but that's true of pretty much any hotel I've stayed at in China, so not much of a draw. I did have problems communicating with a receptionist at check-in, but I'm willing to believe I wasn't speaking slowly or clearly enough. I thought my entry card wasn't working (the lock indicator light barely turned green, and I was pulling on the floor handle but the door pushed to open!)

Good location for a quiet stay, very near to the SNIEC and also Pudong airport.

The good things about this hotel are that the beds are quite comfortable, and over all cleaniness is satisfactory. Although the hotel interior looks very recently decorated, there are several things in the room that are either broken or not working, such as bathroom locks and bath tub drains. There is a large gap in the bathroom curtains so you can look into the bathroom from the bedroom area and those curtains are semi-transparent. A bit lack of privacy. The worst part is that the staff didn't seem to know the hotel very well. We checked the opening hours of the swimming pool before heading down, when we got to the pool one hour before it closed, the staff told us the pool was already closed. And the next morning we checked the opening time and to double confirm it we called front desk and asked whether the pool is open, the staff reassured us that it was definitely open. We went down and the pool was locked. Very unpleasant experience.

Nice hotel, clean and very spacious rooms. Too long distance from down town.
