Location is great, staff was helpful and polite, the price is pretty good compared to almost any other option in central location in Shanghai. Breakfast is pretty poor, at least for western people, but this is a general problem in China...
The first room I got was extremely noisy due to construction work nearby which was active 24 hours. After 2 night they agreed to move me to another room in the opposite side which was much better but still not as quiet as I wish.
Great location. Close to metro station. Happy hour in the bar offered 2 for 1 on select wines and cocktails. Loved that.
I had a bit of trouble communicating with staff but I experienced that in every hotel in China.
Decent business hotel. Does everything it needs to
Prices for a beer in the hotel are extortionate. 58RMB (6GBP) for a Tsingtao... even with Happy Hour, it's still on the pricey side.
The bed was big and comfortable
Bathroom requires updating, mould is growing around the bath tub and there is rust on the curtain rail. There was also someone else’s hair in the bath tub throughout my 4 night stay, I would clean them away, yet they would re-appear after the room was cleaned. The room would also do with a paint, especially where the luggage rack is located. I was also woken most mornings by noisy quests.
All else. Great location. Nice hot water, great pressure. Chill vibe in lobby area.
Confusion among staff when I requested a late checkout (needed an extra hour; had a morning meeting and returned to hotel later than expected): one staff member agreed while another called to hurry me out of the room. Perhaps they could communicate more among themselves?
1) Great location with Zhongshan MRT station next to it. Walking distance to Yu Yuan Rd. 2) Few shopping malls are nearby. Convenience stores just beside. Some local eateries and McDonald. 3) Cleaning staff is really nice and hard-working that make sure the room is always clean and tidy.
None
Next to the metro station Beautiful reception Room super clean, on the 8th floor so view on a few nice buildings, very well equipped We felt great, it was simple and all we could wish for, for a comfortable stay in Shanghai
Small bathroom... but huge bedroom which is way more worth it !
The room floor carpet is not being cleaned properly. I saw a staff took less than 30 seconds to run the vacuum cleaner through the room. I was so shocked I fell dumb.The room was moldy, poor air quality, and old dirty floor carpet. A staff helped me to get a air filter for the room. I fell sick with running nose every time I was in the room. Thanks for the air filter, I could sense a little difference as I slowly recovered. My final night there, huge road construction noise at 2am in the morning? I could not sleep. I asked front desk to call the police on these acts of disturbing the peace at this time of the morning. Surprisingly, it is the norm in China to be awaken from huge banging construction noises at 2am in the morning. The front desk explained, its government work at 2am in the morning so they can't do nothing about it. I had to drag myself half asleep trying to pack my stuff to be relocated to another room.
The water in the shower smelled weird. I felt like I was bathing in poison. Property manager needs to check if there are no hidden cameras in the rooms.
Location is perfect.
There was a weird smell in the whole building including the room that makes me quite uncomfortable. WIFi signal was relatively weak that i had to go to the lobby for stronger/stabler internet.
The hallway had a really strong stuffy smell, and also the room had musty odor.
Bath room much too small
great ambience, clean, good value
location is great, great bed and clean bathroom
carpet had a weird smell.
Location is good
The receptionist was rude. The facilities especially the shower ia a bit worn out.
Great location, clean, modern rooms & friendly staff.
Breakfast could have been better.
Breakfast was great
Rooms need upgrading. A bit tired.
Location is very good
Wifi was slow
Bed is comfortable and location is great
The location was superb. It was close to many different malls and just 15 mins away from the train station by car.
The bathroom was a little bit too small, it was difficult to even close the door.
The breakfast was fantastic. Location was very near to the Metro making the travel very Comfortable. Hotel staff extremely helpful and friendly and they walked an extra mile to help a complete new comer to China.
I was Charged different rates each day :( The hotel room though neatly maintained the wash basin wasn't properly flushing despite the fix. Suggested to change the body wash as i couldn't stand the smell.
Very good location, next to Zhongshan Park and area shopping centres. Facilities not modern but clean and comfortable.
It seems the worker are basicially good people but there manager is not the same.
They didn't let me pay with the company credit card, although I did all my reservations in booking.com with this credit card. Om my first night they even locked me outside of my room while all my thing where inside until I pay them in cash. I will not go back to this hotel/hostel.
Convenient to mrt and buses
The entrance to the property is difficult to access by car
Location is good. Room is clean. Staff is friendly.
Nil
Location, good bar
Bed
I told them I want a room on the last floor (with a view) and they delivered. I also like the fact that there are two free bottles of water everyday. It's very accessible to the metro - just 2 minutes walk.
Breakfast. Not a fan.
- fast check in - location was great - access to metro station just a walk - bicycles for free - nice breakfast
- unequipped gym in a small place
I booked a standard double room. Check in was easy and the staff (Lance) were happy to accommodate my request of being on the top floor away from the noise on the streets. I was surprised to find that they have a great gym on the 5th floor with weights, cardio machines, a yoga mat and a bench. I was so grateful for this. The rooms were cleaned every day really well. Got fresh towels daily. I stayed 7 nights and my linen was changed as I was in the room when house keeping changed it. The house keeping staff are super friendly and so helpful. The restaurant at Penta Hotel is lovely. They have a superb lunch deal for 49 RMB you get a semi buffet, a main meal and a drink. I sadly only discovered this on my second last day but the fruit, salad, pasta main and drink I had was excellent and served with a smile. There was HBO on the TV for the night you just want to curl up and watch a movie. This hotel is really good value for money. They have umbrellas you can pay a deposit for and use. They have bicycles you can use free of charge, they have a pool table, darts and games. I felt at home here and will certainly stay here again when travelling to Shanghai. PS - I had to request a late check out due to a flight delay and they assisted me again without asking for extra payments or anything. Really amazing stay!
Location and value was the reason I booked this hotel and was pleasantly surprised by it all. Five minute walk to Line 2 (green line) metro that takes you everywhere you need to go including both airports. My favorite brewery was 10 minute walk away. Shops and restaurants were all within walking distance from hotel. The Laksa soup for lunch was delicious as well! Gym was small but also very functional and nice.
The hallways and rooms had an odor that was not nice.
Take the Pentagrand, worth the money
Loud music during breakfast
surrounded by good places to eat, street food sellers and a very large shopping centre that had amazing restaurants and good shops plus it was close to the metro - 1-2 minutes walk. Hotel breakfast was great. staff nice.
rooms were rather dated - bathroom very small - and the reception put on some sort of event or party one night and it was loud, people were very drunk, there was a barrier suggesting it was off limits to hotel guests (the whole bar area) even though I think it wasn't and the next morning the place stank of booze. It was really odd. we went next door to the sister hotel - much nicer.
Near metro, nice and very clean room. Love the beds, and room is quiet.
The bar area downstairs
The wifi connection was unstable
Breakfast was quite informal, with lots of choice, attentive and helpful staff. Hotel next to underground station, only a few stops into City Centre. Good value for money.
Rooms/bathrooms maybe need updating. But comfortable enough.
Cold beer with cheese burger Breakfast very rich In the evening some music for dancing
Front desk very lovely person, but better stay in this area very professional person.
Location
The room was not so clean (hairs and dusty) No eggs or omelette for breakfast
Good location, nice restaurant,
Receipt is a bit few employee, wait for long time for a simple questions and not quite friendly
Location
Internet worst
Clean, excellent location, iron is provided
The stuff English is not very good but enough to resolve base issues.
Checkout took 20 minutes as too less staff
Location (easy access from subway, taxis, ...) Cleaned facilities Value for money
Size of the bathroom (hard to close the door)
Checkout takes too long time
Good priced hotel with excellent service. Definitely value for money and great for younger travellers with games and pool table.
No complaints
Everything is good.
Location tv and bed
Dusty table and phone.
Always great service.
Helpful and kind staff. Clean, comfortable rooms. Salsa parties in the evening :) super convenient location (5 minutes walking from the metro station Zhongshan Park (Exit 5))
Clean and bright room, easy access to malls and transportation.
Pretty good for the price already.
Wifi and internet is terribly slow, basically impossible to use.
Good price to value, very close to subway, quite central. Nice breakfast.
Okay for a budget hotel
Room was dirty
I told the reception about the rooms being different and they moved us to the executive suite. If you are not happy with your room, always tell reception and they will do their best to help.
I have stayed here several times, and check-in always seems to take an age. I also booked 2 penta double delux rooms, but the two room were completely different.
The breakfast was great and the libbyvery nice and cozy
The location has nice design, clean rooms and entertainment downstairs. The rooms are also equipped with everything.
The staff is very unprofessional - spent 30 minutes at the counter, because they could not copy the details from my passport properly. Of course, people speak barely any english. We were staying 1 night for ~400 rnb, and were asked to pay 700 rnb deposit...would be nice to know in advance, especially since it's so high. The rooms have no sockets next to bedside table. Lastly, floors have a very strong upleasant chemical smell.
The location was very good, and the room and nice and clean. I didn’t get to try, but the hotel restaurant looked nice!
the breakfast and the location were very good
the wifi was poor and the staff's english language was very poor
Breakfast is fine with wide choice of both chinese and international food.
Comfortable big hotel, clean and spacious room, good breakfast in the lobby. Close to Shanghai metro. We enjoyed our stay with pleasure.
location and reasonable rate
Nice, clean hotel. Good location Value for money
Location was nice
A bit old
Location
The staff, it was very inconvenient when I needed help and no one took the phone when I tried calling the front desk in the evening time.
Newly renovated rooms. Funky lobby. Hotel is in an Interesting spot to explore on weekend.
The toilet is so small. It’s not updated. They have one knob for hot water and another for cold water. Only find this kind of set up in India and Nepal. Didn’t expect it in Shanghai city next to a posh hotel. It’s far from the Pudong International airport. Costs me over 200 RMB. It’s closer to the other airport Hong Qiao which costs less than 100 RMB to reach via taxi.
Very bad treatment by the janitor who checked the room cards every time we came back to the hotel. Rude, and no explanations why such check is required. Different standard where applied: as a mixed couple we were checked; single guests could pass without any check.
Clean comfy and near subway . No smoking policy so no smoky smell or air disinfectant smell in the rooms
Some parts of the wall can do some repainting and the lobby bar area can be noisy on the weekends
Excellent service. Very friendly. We asked for weights Ng balance and taxi to airport. All exceeded our request.
The hotel is good. Staff very nice. The food in the restaurant is very good and not very expensive.
The only thing we disliked was the airconditioning everywhere. It was too cold in the rooms, breakfast/restaurant. We switched of the air on in the room but when we came back the housekeeping already switched it on again. It was not very warm outside but still the airco was very high everywhere. Hope next time is not so cold
room was spacious with a large window facing the city. was well equipped and clean. located just 3 minutes walk from the line 2 metro station that goes to main locations in the city.
The bed was very comfortable. Really like the bar and restaurant in the hotel as well. The location was perfect, staff were very accommodating and friendly, and the cost of my stay was very reasonable. Will stay here again!
Location, helpful staff and always ready to help
They made life easy. I kept extending my stay. Lance was very helpful.
Excellent breakfast! Something for everyone and good coffee. Friendly staff.
There should be separate shampoo, conditioner and shower gel available. These 3 in 1 products are for cheap hostels.
Breakfast and Sunday brunch. Access to metro.
No internet in the bedroom
place has a young atmosphere and is nicely designed. room was big and well organized.
Penta Shanghai always woth to visit!
Breakfast is good enough for this price. The location is wonderful. The staff of the reception desk is friendly.
The flavor of shampoo and condition is not for me. XD
The room and the social space smells like pee. We ask for change of room and the New room has the same smell
the staff was very helpful in guiding us to different places and the best was that they could speak good english
hotel is clean comfy and convenient. Price on this day was good too
i object to hotels insisting on a deposit when room is already paid for . it is not necessary . I asked to speak to manager and they refused to talk to me as they were too busy . not what i expect from a hotel of this standing . i would not stay here again and would also tell others not to
Good accomodation, with proximity with metro station
Nice staff with very good English . Very good breakfast. The location is perfect, close to metro, restaurant and shops.
the bathroom is a little tiny.
Convenient location, close to underground station.
The location and cost of this hotel is good.
I've stayed at this hotel a few times but this was definitely the most disappointing stay. I'm not usually bothered by small noises but this time I was into a room that had a very noisy AC unit outside of it. At 11:30pm constriction began across the road to remove a rooftop billboard. This went on for a couple of hours and I feel we should have at least been warned that it was going to be taking place. Service was very slow at breakfast.
The location couldn't have been better, Zhongshan park is just across the street, and the subway is just around the corner. The bar was lovely and we could take the bicycles and ride around the area.
Value for money!
We waited 20 min for check-in, because only 2 girls at front desk and too many guests. One girl was creating fapiao for another guest and took 10 min. making mistakes and redoing it. Sunday morning at 7:00AM, 2 kids were running up and down the hallway on 10th floor. This is beyond the hotel's control, but we notified front desk about this at 7:30AM and they said they would check but they did absolutely nothing! Eventually kids left around 8:30AM. Incompetent staff, I speak Chinese so it was not a language barrier. Also, the rooms are not sound proof obviously.
Excellent location - 2 min walk to Metro. Beautiful park and a mall within 5 min walk. Nice breakfast with range of choices. Nice atmosphere in lobby with pool table, games, comfy hairs, bar.
Would be good if staff could have cancelled the 6 am alarm left on the clock by a previous guest. Replacement of tea and coffee sachets would also have been nice.
body cream!
My room was on the side of the street. For me is okay, but quite a long night for my girl partner.
Great location, near metro station 2, 3 and 4 Near is beautifull park - Zhongshan Park Good breakfast, nice comfortable rooms, bar is ok
Deposit for first night - money will be return in one week???!! Deposit for every night is 300,00 RMB and will be return in one week???!!
Friendly staff, very near the metro and clean rooms
Couldn't use my Visa card to make payment
Very clean, very big room and also well-equipped with everything you need. The receptionist spoke English well.
The room smelled a bit weird, also there was suddenly a big construction site outside of the hotel on the street. I felt they could have taken that under consideration for the room prices.
The location is great. The price is really cheap but it isn't a proper hotel anymore
In the meanwhile it is totally outdated. Smelly room due to old carpet simply everything is broken the breakfast selection is poor (used to be great before) staff is ignoring guests
Very nice and big rooms. Close to a well-connected metro station.
Nice location!!Nice hotel!
Good rooms and excellent location.
It took the hotel (or possibly booking.com?) longer than normal to refund the deposit/room guarantee money to my card.
The breakfast has not a lot of Variety.
Variety.
The bed was very comfortable and I sleep very well.
The carpet in the room looks old, feel old and smell a little.
Good Location , next to the metro station. Staff is helpful and friendly.
Close to MTR station and shopping mall with alot of shops and restaurants. We stayed here during the F1 weekend. Would recommend for a short stay.
Excellent location! Staff is helpful.
Super smelly. There is a mandatory deposit request, even for fully paid reservations.
It is not super central, but close to metro, many fine restaurants around it. Nice breakfast. Fine value for money.
Our room smelled slightly odd. Very loud music one night (hotel salsa night).
The location was good, with good restaurants, shopping and metro station nearby.
Although the room was really big, the bathroom was minute, small for even one person. Soundproofing of the room was also poor.
Clean, good location
Clean, good location.
