10/10 Excellent
"I don’t think anyone should make a first trip to Shanghai without spending a few days up high in the Grand Hyatt. What a view and the staff were helpful and supportive. Our only poor experience was a room service delivery served open (not under a cover) for which the hotel apologized and waved the charge. Other than that we got an early check-in and for a very small extra got a room with a simply jaw dropping river view. One piece of advice. If you want the extravagant breakfast be sure to book by the night before to enjoy a major discount in the charge."
