Royal International Hotel

Really nice hotel, great price

Punti positivi: A little bit away from the airport, but it's great for a layover. If you've never been to Shanghai (or China), it's in a cool little residential neighborhood (kind of out of place) that you can walk around in the morning and explore (or photograph, which I did). It is definitely a luxury hotel, and they have an amazing buffet breakfast available for about $20 USD, with everything from your usual pastries to authentic Chinese meals, and made-to-order omelettes. I would definitely recommend a stay there.

Nice hotel warranting another stay

Punti positivi: the staff made you feel welcome. Their English was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable. The amenities were of good quality with classy packaging. The television channel selection was excellent. Best value in PuDong for this caliber hotel.

Punti negativi: The location is off the beaten path. Taxi is about the only reliable method to get there. Breakfast was good except coffee machine was inoperative and the service was fairly absent around 830am.
