The room is spacious and quiet, and the hotel staff are very friendly. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The hotel also provides convenient access to the shopping mall. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my stay.
The Sukhothai has been my favorite hotel in Shanghai for years! I used to stay during Covid when we couldn’t leave China but I needed to feel like I was on vacation. They even decorated my room once for my birthday! Love this hotel!
Facilities are great.
Service less so…
Typically you’re not supposed to treat your guests as if they were thieves…
There’s a way of doing things. That’s what differentiates a true upscale venue
