Stayed here for 2 nights in their King Bed Deluxe Room. The hotel is decorated very nicely and the staff is helpful. The rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. The bed is soft and cozy. The bathroom has a nice rain shower head. I was surprised to find a small fish bowl on the desk with 2 colorful fish... more

This was my return visit, stayed there for 3 nights on arrival to Shanghai/China. My previous stay was in May last year. My reasons for returning was because it was a rather pleasant hotel, comfortable, clean, efficient and friendly staff, and its location. However, in my opinion, some of the early rave reviews on this website grossly over rated this... more

I 've stayed at the Vista several times now and keep coming back. It's a good hotel, nice and comfortable rooms with a good bed, clean and I especially like the executive floor, where they have a nice quiet athomosphere. The hotel decor is nice and OK restaurant with nice staff. Pricey although, and got angry that they charged me... more

Had two nights here at the end of September. This was a very welcoming hotel with comfy seats in the lobby. Had a fish in a little tank in our bedroom.Had a huge superb shower in our room although our friends had a bath. Thought the hotel had no bar but it turned out to be where the cakes were... more

After a long flight it was a welcome sight to arrive at the Shanghai Vista. The hotel is fairly new so the interior feels nice and fresh. All of the staff were friendly and helpful with good English for those with poor Mandarin! My room was a good size with an incredibly comfortable bed, nice and clean, in room safe... more

The hotel is located in a very busy neighborhood with a couple malls within walking distance (5-10 minutes). As such, there are plenty of eateries and shops in the vicinity. Also, there are restaurants right alongside the hotel and across the... more

We were on a tour of China and Shanghai was our last stop. When we saw that we'll be staying at a Holiday Inn, we were just hoping for the best. To our surprise, the hotel turned out to be a very nice one! The room was very clean and the decor was up to date. The beds weren't the... more

We spent one night here when our adoption agency couldn't get fly everyone into Beijing on the same day. We arrived tired from the San Francisco flight and not sure of what to expect in so exotic a place. We were shocked at how luxurious the hotel was. We went to bed immediately, and the next morning at breakfast we... more

I stayed in the Vista hotel for 2 nights. I had an (paid) upgrade to the Executive Club while checking in. It offered -among other- a bigger room, free Internet on the room and some free sodas from the minibar each day. Check-in was efficient although staff sometimes has trouble understanding the more difficult questions in English. The room was... more
