Location is great, but comes at a price. There was music I could hear past 1am (could even feel the vibration on the window), and I was on the 19th floor too. I have no idea where the music was coming from, but clearly from outside somewhere (not within the hotel I don't think). Also, if you plan to sleep in, it can be noisy by 9am as well. Had one small issue while staying there, and they were so quick to remedy it. The service is great. Checking in was a bit slow though.

Very convenient location

Great rooms. They look nice, are clean and large. 1 minute from Exit 4 on Line 2, Nanjing Rd East. Don't be put off by their English skills. They can sound very direct but they are speaking a second language. I asked for a second room key and I was told very sternly, 'Do NOT lose"! then a smile. The front door staff, even in the freezing cold, are amazing. Always smiling and very happy to help. I went back this year because it was great value. I will definitely stay again next year. Remember, Google only works via a VPN, so the free wifi which is great, will block your access to google. Make sure you have another browser available.

A great hotel!

Pros: It's location. Spacious room, nice decor. Had everything we expected and needed.
Cons: Two (little) gripes 1. the air conditioning didn't cool the room enough on warm days 2. the bed mattresses are quite hard (but they always are in Asia
Location: The best location! Lots of do nearby!!
We are a Kiwi/NZ couple who decided randomly to spend a week in Shanghai. After pouring over the hundreds/thousands of hotels in Shanghai and many reviews - and prices - I settled on Central Hotel. Why? It was the best rated hotel that was most conveniently located at the best price that I could find. Overall, we were very happy with our choice!! It is EXCELLENTLY located - we walked to the Bund and river cruise, to People's Square (with Shanghai museum and the urban development museum etc), to Nanjing Road right opposite, and the East Nanjing Rd Metro station is one block away. We Metroed to the Science & Technology station to shopping at the 'fake market', and from/to Pudong airport when we arrived/departed. The Metro is so cheap and actually quite easy to use once you know how to get the machines to be in English. The hotel itself is lovely. I've stayed in hotels at many cosmopolitan cities around the world and this hotel stacks up just fine. The staff spoke English quite well - we had no problems there. We generally found staff to be helpful and courteous. We didn't eat at the hotel so can't comment on the food. There are PLENTY of places to eat in nearby areas. We ate like/with locals :-) Overall, we'd recommend this hotel to others, and if we return to Shanghai we'd stay here again.

Nice hotel, central location

A friend recommended a much dearer hotel not far from this one, but we chose to stay here as we were only passing through and staying over night. We're really happy that we did. The hotel was great and the location is fantastic, nice and central to everything. We will definitely stay here when we return in September.

Good location

The hotel over looked a busy square that had lots of events going on. I stayed on the12th floor and the view was excellent. The hotel staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was really nicely decorated and very quiet. It was a 15 minute walk to the pudong river to view the city scape and evening laser light show. There are Lots of shops and food houses within walking distance of the hotel. Early morings I spent watching the locals doing tai chi in the square. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. I would be wary of the taxis that wait outside the hotel as the rundown taxi that took me to the airport cost me three times the cost of limo that brought me from the airport to the hotel and would recommend a traveller check prices and options well ahead of leaving forvthe airport.
