The hotel offers spacious rooms with a big window overlooking breathtaking scenery, providing free jackets ironing, afternoon tea, and evening happy hour. However, cleanliness could be improved. The service is subpar compared to other hotels of similar standards globally. The location is isolated but boasts terrific views. The dining options, particularly the Southeast Asia Specials, were not as extensive as expected. The facilities are adequate but not outstanding.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with a big window offering breathtaking views of the Huangpu River, but the low lighting made it challenging to work. The service was friendly, although not up to par with other Intercontinental hotels worldwide. The location was convenient for the Expo but not ideal for tourists. The dining options were good with a focus on Southeast Asian dishes. Overall, a decent stay but with some room for improvement.

I had a fabulous view of the river below from the very large room with a ceiling window facing the Huangpu River. It was beautiful, comfortable, and well-equipped. The service was excellent overall, but there were some subpar aspects compared to other similar hotels globally. The location, right on the edge of the Huangpu River with a new footpath nearby, was quiet and convenient, though not near the business district. The dining options were a mix of delicious varieties but not as expected. The facilities were up to standard.

The hotel offers spacious and wonderfully tidy rooms located on the 19th floor, perfect for long-term stays. The service, while friendly and professional, could benefit from more knowledge about the local area.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were baking hot a couple of times every night, but they overlooked the river and bridges, offering a pleasant view at around 25 degrees. The room amenities, including the Bose sound system and JBL speaker, along with the large TV, were impressive. On the downside, the service was not very professional and quite slow during the check-in/out process, though the hotel manager was excellent. The location is near the expo and offers a great view of the Huangpu River & Lujiazui area but is far from the metro station and main attractions of Shanghai.
