During my stay at the Intercontinental Shanghai Expo, I found the hotel to be visually appealing, especially with the views of the Huangpu River. However, the service fell short compared to my experiences at other Intercontinental properties. While the room was comfortable and clean, dining options were limited and often inconvenient due to sporadic restaurant hours.

The service was friendly, but it often felt slow and uncoordinated, especially at check-in and when requesting room service.

Location

The hotel's location near the Huangpu River and Expo area is excellent for sightseeing, though it's a bit isolated, making it hard to find taxis when needed.

While I enjoyed the breakfast, the menu was the same each day and the restaurants had unpredictable hours, which made dining a challenge.

My stay at Intercontinental Shanghai Expo was a mix of highs and lows. The spacious room had a lovely view and was very comfortable, but I found services were sometimes lacking and the location didn't quite fit my needs. Overall, it was a good experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Rooms

9.0

I enjoyed the spacious room with an impressive view of the Huangpu River and the financial district. The bed was comfortable and nicely complemented by quality linens. The amenities like the Bose sound system and large TV added to a homey feel, but I noticed the lighting was a bit dim for working.

Service

5.0

While the staff were friendly and helpful, I found the service lacking compared to my previous stays at other Intercontinental properties. Room service was a challenge at times, and the restaurant hours were unreliable, making it difficult to find food when I needed it.

Location

6.0

The hotel is conveniently located near the Expo Center, which was great for my business meetings, but it's fairly far from the city center and not very close to public transport. I had to rely on taxis, which can be expensive and somewhat hard to get in the quieter area.

Dining

The breakfast was enjoyable with a wide selection, although it was the same every day. I had some mixed experiences with room service, as not all food met my expectations.

Facilities

The hotel offered useful facilities like a money changer and housekeeping that kept my room clean. However, issues with air conditioning made my stay uncomfortable on a couple of nights.

I had a pleasant stay at the Intercontinental Shanghai Expo, enjoying its quiet atmosphere and modern facilities. However, while the dining options were good, the breakfast menu became repetitive over four days. Overall, it was a comfortable spot, especially for those attending events nearby, but improvements could be made in the dining variety.

The staff were professional and friendly, always ready to assist with directions or calling a taxi. However, the service did feel a bit below the standards I've come to expect from other Intercontinental hotels.

Location

The location is convenient for accessing the Expo area, but it's quite a distance from central attractions. It saved me some time in traffic, but I had to rely on ridesharing services to get around.

My stay at Intercontinental Shanghai Expo was quite a mix. The location by the Huangpu River was stunning, making for great views, but I found it a bit far from the airport, which added travel costs. The facilities and service levels were excellent overall, especially the Club Lounge on the 26th floor, yet I wish the food variety at breakfast had been better.
