Park Hyatt Shanghai: Gripe Session! Who's with me?!
-
The room was old, facilities were outdated, and the service was just average. While there's one decent restaurant and some views from the higher floors, the overall experience was extremely underwhelming. Honestly, you'd be better off paying a bit more to stay at the J Hotel across the street for superior views.
-
Their view is basically their 'pension plan' – it's what they rely on. There's nothing you can do about it.
-
Perhaps some people just genuinely like the views from the high floors.
-
I couldn't agree more. For over 2000 RMB, why wouldn't I choose The Middle House? They even took three months to return my deposit!
-
Is The Middle House nice to stay at?
-
I haven't stayed in their non-suite rooms, but I have no complaints about their suites.
-
So, you're a fan of the view, are you?
-
The view was awful. Paid 2300 for a Pujiang view room, and there was practically no view at all.
-
You'd be better off at the Mandarin Oriental.
-
But their Diplomat Suite is genuinely fantastic, though.
-
The rooms are incredibly run-down, practically bare-walled, and very old. Yet, there's a whole group of people online who love it, going on about 'Master Jaya Ibrahim's design,' 'the art of negative space,' or 'its Chinese style.' Anyway, this place is just plain odd.
-
'Bare-walled' is a very accurate description.
-
Why not stay at the Ritz-Carlton for an unobstructed view?
-
I feel like many hotels in Shanghai are quite old.
-
It's just too old. You're better off paying a bit more for the J Hotel.
