I have stayed at the "Old Jin Jiang " several times since this first visit. It was recommended to me by a friend living in China and have since taken several colleagues there whenever we visit shanghai. Its old world charm never fails to impress and it is one of my favorite places to stay when visiting China, I have... more

Impressive and a bit opulent ;-) but very nice in deed. The location is great if you’re into shopping at Huaihai Rd where you’ll find anything you like. Personally I’d prefer Nanjing Dong Lu but this was an official visit to Shanghai, so I couldn’t choose. We stayed at the Cathay Gardens part of the hotel. Rooms were cold (!)... more

Stayed here at the end of a China Tour, I was in the Cathay Building which dates from way back but still offers a good level of service and accommodation. The room was fairly large with all the usual furnishings: chairs, TV, table, fridge, mini bar and safe etc. The furnishings including the beds are well made and comfortable, the... more

This is an old establishment in Shanghai in a very good location. However there are two wings if i am not mistaken and the cheaper and older wing is terrible by all accounts. I first booked two rooms via one website and we were led to this rundown building where one 'receptionist' was working behind a miserable table. The corridor... more

When my company arranged for me to stay at this hotel I immediately checked the web for reviews. I was disappointed by what I read however I am happy to say I had an unexpectedly GREAT stay at this hotel. The room was clean, modern and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, I slept well. The receptionist was pleasant and... more

Stayed there for two nights. Seriously awful. I got in at about 11pm in the night and they gave me a room in the more historcal Cathay Garden. I tried to run myself a bath, and all these green water suddenly came gushing out of the bathroom and there was a massive flood all over the place. Reception wasn't very... more

The only reason I stayed at the Jin Jiang for 2 nights was it's location. After my stay there I would have preferred to stay somewhere nicer and travelled. When checking in the girl behind the counter gave nothing but attitude, everything I asked for was an issue. Simple requests were always met with a sigh. Luckily the bell staff... more

Stayed at the Jin Jiang Hotel Cathey Garden for three nights on a business trip. There are several Jin Jiang hotels in Shanghai, but the Jin Jiang Hotel's Cathay Garden is great, not to be confued with other Jin Jiang properties.The rooms we had were exceptionally new, clean and plush. Great bathroom with separate tub and shower. The lobby was... more

So I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights at the Jin Jiang. I got a pretty good price and thought it might be interesting. It is an attractive compound of buildings, with three separate towers in art deco style. Unfortunately, that meant that I had to wander into one of the buildings when I arrived to discover my room was... more
