    Great location, right next to luxury shops and restaurants, and just 3 minutes from a huge Starbucks. The rooms were fantastic. Despite a rough start with breakfast, the manager step in to make our stay better. Plus, they speak English, which was really helpful.

    This 5 star hotel has no swimming pool. The room is quite cramped even though it’s a 68 mt sq. room. Located in a rundown area.

    For a Kempinski breakfast was not up to standard ( apart from the fact that i asked in advance not to be charged for when not using it and this was not accepted . Rooms look bigger in pictures and furniture a bit dated .

    Location is very good and really good view on the top floors. Comfortable bed and shower facilities .

    1) The kitchen is small but the main problem is the cabinet has almost no place to put plates and bowls. In fact these were not provided and had to request for some basic utensils. If there is a kitchen I would expect that a minimum of 2 plates and 2 bowls are already placed in the kitchen cabinet. Also no table cloth to wipe table no dishwashing detergent and no basic pots and pans to use for cooking if need to. Had to request. No laundry detergent but had to request before these are provided. 2) Service staff apart from 1 front desk lady who is very nice and friendly the rest of the staff are rather stiff and certainly not friendly . Seem hurried perhaps wanting to show they are efficient but certainly cold and unfriendly . The toilet cleaning feature was not working and the service guy attitude is rather aloof and initially insisting that it was working. Generally the hotel service personnel are really one of the more unfriendly ones I have encountered for a 5 star hotel. 3) I ordered breakfast to room, it was not clear on the menu on what it covers and room service has no patient to explain . When delivered there was no salt and pepper provided. 4) Food quality is well below its price tag. 5) My husband was caught inside the front swirling door as if won’t continue to rotate , the staff couldn’t find how to make it work, my husband realized that it was their hanging decor that were caught in the swirling door n managed to remove it n the door moved to open again. The staff who was helping had no emotions and would have been nice if he at least give a courtesy apology. It’s a small matter but it shows that the service attitude is somewhat lacking

    Booked Art decor room only to find it too cluttered due to its layout. Wanted to change to bigger room, front desk was quick to give us a free upgrade instead. Much appreciated. Bed is comfortable n sofa is comfortable. Great to have a washing machine (although this was not mentioned in Booking.com website, and almost decided not to chose hotel because we need a place with washing machine quite desperately as we had been travelling across cities for 2 weeks) Some nice but upmarket restaurants within 1 min walk. 7-11 just across hotel so it’s convenient to stock up some quick snacks and drinks . Needed to extend stay but had to rush off for meeting and front desk is quick to reassure us to do it when we return to hotel and will keep at the same rate as what we paid for at Booking.

    Communicating with staff through the app did not work as questions were not answered. But when calling or asking at the front desk all was fine. Would be great if there was a bar open late evening at the hotel. That was missing.

    Loved the spacious room, bathtub and urban view!

    The bed was less than comfortable, a night on concrete blocks would be a more accurate description of the comfort level - if you like firm beds then this is your place but if not then you are in for a bit of a shock. The room overall was nice and had plenty of wardrobe and storage space but the Nespresso coffee machine did not work properly it kept crushing the aluminium capsules and after about 6 of them being destroyed we gave up - there is a Starbucks about 25 metres, or less than 1 minute walk from the hotel front door so caffiene fix was at hand.

    Room was nice but didn't come across anything like the photographs on the web site or on booking.com. It was nowhere near as spacious as we thought it would be but it was still a nice stay. The staff were very helpful and the location is good - short walk to a main metro line and a longer but relatively easy walk to main attractions like People's Square, Nanjing Road and The Bund.

    Seems there's a real problem with people smoking in the "non-smoking" rooms. Had to move rooms after the first one stank so badly! They should fine the smokers heavily. I wasn't the only guest having this issue, others reported it too.
