My brother and I stayed 5 nights at the Radisson on a business trip to shanghai to be near (or so we thought) to the national exhibition centre. Late booking meant we didn't have a huge variety of hotels to choose from. DONT BE FOOLED BY THE IMAGES FOR THIS HOTEL!
Check in/ room
Apon arrival don't be expecting any English speaking hotel staff. Download a translation app before arrival as the wifi connection is awful. After changing room 4 times due to nearby construction noise, broken air con units, a room with a stench of cigarettes even though they advertise this hotel as environmentally friendly and smoke free, we eventually had a room. Expect basic! 1 small free bottle of water each day, uncomfortable furniture and pillows, small windows with restricted airflow, no air con that works in any rooms apart from the lifts.
The toilets don't flush well in the rooms and do not take any tissue! So you will need to put all tissue in the bin, which won't be emptied until the next mornings maid clean.
All bathroom plug holes need to be kept close because the smell coming from them is unbearable!
Facilities
The gym is by far the best part of this hotel, lots of new equipment. Don't expect free water here either. Bring a swim cap and full costume if you wish to swim. But also be prepared for many Chinese men to be sat around the edge of the pool during mid-week peak times which can make the experience very uncomfortable.
