DDanzisebingtangOn my recent trip to Shanghai, I chose to stay at the Hyatt Centric Shanghai Zhongshan Park, and overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay.
First and foremost, I have to commend the hotel's location – it's incredibly convenient! It's just a few minutes' walk from the metro station. Whether you're heading to popular attractions like The Bund and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street or exploring other commercial districts, taking the metro is super easy. We didn't have to waste much time on transportation, which was perfect for us, as we prefer efficient travel.
Moreover, the hotel facilities are exceptionally new. Stepping into the lobby, everything felt fresh and clean, with a modern and elegant decor. The furniture and appliances in the room were also brand new, and the cleanliness was impeccable, making for a truly comfortable stay. What's more, there's a wide array of dining options around the hotel. The variety of food available for delivery is incredible, so whether you're craving a full meal or just some snacks, you'll easily find something to satisfy you. Even when we didn't feel like stepping out, we could still enjoy great food.
The biggest surprise for me was the hotel's Chinese buffet, specifically the Shanghai cuisine – the flavors were absolutely divine! The local-style Braised Pork Belly (Hongshao Rou) was perfectly fatty yet not greasy, literally melting in my mouth, and its rich sauce was fantastic with rice. The Stir-fried Eel (Xiangyou Shanhua) had a wonderfully tender texture and was seasoned just right, bursting with authentic Shanghai flavors. There were also several other distinctive Shanghai appetizers, each one so authentic and satisfying. I felt like the buffet alone was worth every penny, and I highly recommend everyone to give it a try!
However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks. The room felt a little on the small side, especially when I had a lot of luggage, it became a bit cramped. Also, there was no bathtub in the room, which was less convenient if I wanted to relax with a soak. But all things considered, the hotel offers excellent value for money. Given its fantastic location, new facilities, and superb dining, these small shortcomings are completely acceptable.
