Holiday Inn Express Shanghai On The Bund by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Shanghai On The Bund by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location, right next to Yu Garden and the metro makes it very easy to get around. The free laundry was a needed bonus and the front desk staff was very helpful. One of the room attendant was awesome, very customer service oriented. She went above and beyond in customer service. The bedding and the mattress were very clean no smell. It was great! I wanted to return to this hotel but it was not available for the backend of my trip before flying back to Canada. Theresa"
