Ocean Hotel Shanghai Reviews

Came to Shanghai for Wang Yuan's concert this weekend. Booked a king-size room and got a free upgrade to an executive room, really appreciate the front desk staff for that! Room service requests were responded to very quickly.

The hotel's location is super convenient for getting around, and the staff were really welcoming. They even upgraded my room, and the breakfast spread was fantastic. It was a very pleasant stay overall!

The hotel's location is pretty good; it's about a ten-minute walk to the North Bund. The breakfast was excellent, though the hotel facilities are a bit old. Overall, I'm generally satisfied!

This is an older, state-run hotel with spacious rooms and a separate office area. You can watch satellite TV and go for a swim. There are quite a few foreign guests staying here. The breakfast is very generous and includes freshly made pan-fried buns (shengjianbao) and mini wontons, which I highly recommend trying.

They upgraded my room, which was the only good thing. There are so many downsides I don't even know where to begin. You have to pay extra for more water, the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles were tiny, and there was a dead fly on the carpet when I walked in. The front desk even made me bring up my own toothbrush... They wanted 20 for a laundry bag... Honestly, it feels like the hotel is about to go out of business...

Clean and tidy, the room was spacious with a great view of the Huangpu River. The service was also excellent.

Great location, clean rooms. Check-in was super fast. When I arrived, my room type wasn't ready yet, as it hadn't been cleaned. The front desk staff, wanting to ensure I could rest immediately, upgraded my room for free. Highly recommend!

The front desk service was excellent, and the concierge was very friendly and even proactively helped me with my luggage and upgraded my room.

The surrounding area is very convenient for shopping, with Raffles City North Bund just across the street. The breakfast is good, and the view from the Sky Palace on the top floor is beautiful. There were only two bottles of water in the room, and a note indicated an additional charge of 2 yuan for each extra bottle. This practice feels a bit odd, as even smaller hotels usually provide an ample supply of bottled water.

I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. It was conveniently close to places that I visited and the staff were very helpful and friendly

Booked this hotel last minute for the May Day holiday, mainly because of the price. For just over 800 yuan, it included three breakfasts, and the location was great. I'd heard of this hotel a long time ago; it's a star-rated hotel from the reform and opening-up era, so I figured it might be a bit old now. Going in with low expectations definitely paid off! The transportation is convenient, and the surroundings are pleasant. Stepping into the lobby, you get that classic, old-school star hotel vibe, and it's very well-maintained. I was incredibly lucky to get a room with a view, and even better, one overlooking the Oriental Pearl Tower! I slept wonderfully, and breakfast was abundant. That's why I'm giving it a full five-star rating! You can tell from the photos how valuable this room was. I suspect this used to be an executive suite, it's large and luxurious, even with an entryway. In short, what could be better than lying on the sofa and enjoying the night view of the Oriental Pearl Tower (until its lights went out)? Great value for money! I'll definitely be back!

This hotel, part of the COSCO Group, is a well-established property. The interior decor has a vintage feel, a bit dated but generally well-maintained and clean. All the facilities are in working order, and the air conditioning is powerful. **Pros:** The location is a big plus. While the river view is mostly obstructed (you can barely catch a glimpse of the 'four-piece suit' through the gaps), there's a Raffles City mall nearby. It's also not far from Tilanqiao subway station. A short bike ride gets you to the North Bund, and taking a bus makes it easy to reach The Bund, Waibaidu Bridge, and Suzhou Creek. The rotating restaurant on the top floor offers fantastic views, highly recommended if you're looking for a good meal there. **Cons:** It's a bit odd that they charge for water if you request more than two bottles. There's no self-service laundry, and parking spaces are quite limited.

everything was great,i arrived there on my birthday and they provided a piece of a cheesecake,staff is friendly and there’s even a robot deliverer in the hotel,definitely would love to stay there again ❤️

The hotel was great! The room was clean and so spacious. We had such a lovely view from our room window. Great location, walking distance to the North Bund. Breakfast was delicious with a good spread. So well worth it. My friends and I had a great stay.
