You can tell it's old. Carpet kinda stinks and wallpaper starting to peel. The ac hardly cools the room. Staff couldn't do anything about it so they... More

The Galaxy is close to subway stations and relatively easy taxi distance from the combined local train and airport hub. There are convenience stores within 5 minutes walk and the Maxdo mall nearby has Italian and Korean restaurants that are good and reasonably priced. The Bund is on the same subway line as is the technology museum and associated shopping... More

Very busy hotel, difficult to get a table for breakfast. Big rooms, clean, quiet. Had a room on a no-smoking floor, no cigarette odors. Location is okay for business, but not close to most tourist locations like the Bund or popular shopping centers. Most of the staff can speak some basic English. Overall ok for a business stay but not... More

A bit run down and trending towards a 3star. Very anonymous with mass market restaurants. Breakfast looks like a manufacturing floor...tables shared and barely ok service. Check in/out very efficient though.

Centrally located hotel. Have lot of restaurants with different type of foods. Morning breakfast has a wide variety of foods. Service is good. Room rates can be changed depend upon booking/occupancy. One problem for foreigners are most of the employees in the hotel including front desk can not speak English.

As many hotels in China. Very far from The Bund and the smoke smell in the hotel is terrible. By the way, this is a very serious problem in China. Smoking is free and all hotels have carpets.....and people smoke in the ailes or elevators. Rooms are big, breakfast is reasonable, lobby is nice but English still rare in the... More

Reasonably priced. Hotel is good as a business stay and not for leasure. Service is not at par with international standards. Food quality and variety is OK. Located in a good locality. Good dining options.
