Shanghai Hoteller i Changning

The hotel name is not Jin Jiang Rainbow but in Chinese Hongqiao Binguan. It created some confusion with the taxi driver

This hotel was situated very well - which means close to my bussiness partners but also ok for sighseeing purposes

Hotel near Chang Ning area east to access by taxi. Clean and confirtable & fair price. No restaurant or shopping area near hotel at least by walk. I have spend 30 minutes walk around hotel to have chinese dinner. Two restaurant I could find very near hotel were Japanese, but I did not want to have Japanese dinner at Shanghai.

It is well located, at the Embassy Area: western restaurants near, and great malls. The hotel charged me three (3) times the check on my credit card. I am still waiting to the return.

Room was very comfortable and the breakfast good. The free parking was a benefit and convenient.

Hotel is clean Hotel is clean but the main problem is that few people speak english. I tis the first time I see so few people speaking english in this hotel category. Breakfast choice is poor and staff dont speak english (20 mn to get coffee with milk). Concierge was not able to inform us about the hot spots in Shanghai. Rates for transportation are expensive (800RMB) for domestic airport transportation. If you go downstairs after midnight, you have good chance to see girls proposed in room massages and other sex facilities, which is surprising

We had to carry the luggages and bags on our own on checking in and out while the bell boys looked on, like what the hell you bring luggages here. Being a service apartment with kitchenette we were surprised that no utensils were available, had to get room service for plates and cutleries.

1 night stay before heading to Beijing. Great facility and restaurant. The hardest bed on which I have ever slept. Very uncomfortable. Like laying on a flat board.

Excellent room. Large and very comfortable bed with good bathroom facility. Sufficient TV entertainment. Breakfast too expensive and Charlie's Bar too "Far Eastern" tacky, not very comfortable for a woman traveller and Asian colleague.

The Crowne Plaza staff is excellent - very attentive and friendly. Check in and check out were efficient. The rooms were clean although we were assigned a room in the old tower. The photos in booking.com were of the new tower so that can be misleading. The location is in the middle of the city but is far away from the Bund which is of course what we wanted to see. It is not close to sites that tourists like us wanted to visit. So I would say that it is a good business hotel.
