Questions & Answers

I will be arriving earlier/later than the stated check-in time. Can I still check in?

I will be arriving earlier/later than the stated check-in time. Can I still check in?

Usually this is not a problem; you can arrange for an after-hours check-in with most hotels. However, you should always confirm with the hotel. You can use the "Special Requests" box in the booking process to inform them of your estimated arrival time in writing. It's important to remember that the property can't always accommodate these requests. It's always best to check with the property directly and in advance to avoid confusion. You can contact the hotel directly by calling them, the local telephone number you can get from Nehow's Local Guide after you finish the booking.

I want to check out after the stated check-out time. What should I do?

I want to check out after the stated check-out time. What should I do?

A late check-out can only be arranged with the hotel and usually depends on availability at the time of your stay. You can ask about the possibility at the front desk upon arrival.

  • Great Service

    Singapore, Singapore | Oct 22, 2025 | Trip type: Business

    Arrived at the hotel and they were fully booked. Was upgraded to a complimentary junior suite. Very spacious and a proper desk. Great business facilities and location for business meetings. WiFi however is not very stable and that’s the only downside

  • Great location close to shops and MRT

    Hotel is right behind the Nanjing shopping street, plenty of shops, restaurants, and only 2 mins from MRT exit. I believe it has recently been renovated, our room is very spacious and nicely serviced.
    Breakfast is slightly towards the expensive side for what it is, but it has a decent ‘western’ varieties.
    All in all great experience and would definitely consider staying again.

  • Great location, upmarket hotel

    Norwich, United Kingdom | Sep 27, 2025 | Trip type: Couples

    Stayed four nights: location is excellent; 100m to East Nanjing Metro (exit 4), 1Km west of Bund, 100m from Nanjing Shopping street. Lots of eating options - but WARNING - theres a highly recommended Sichuan restaurant on the corner of the hotel block and Exit 4 to Metro. Its on the 5th floor. On the 4th floor - but in the same door - is a horrid restaurant which seems to be in a hotel ballroom. DO NOT confuse the two - we did! Dont let the man in the lobby take you to the 4th floor!

    Rooms are well appointed, large clean. Comfy bed, quiet air con. Wifi excellent throughout hotel (dont understand why other reviewers had problems). Automatic piano in lobby is actually quite funny - its worse than a real pianist! Large opulent lobby which we didnt use other than for access. Breakfast is served here but didnt have many customers - not surprised at RMB180! Reception pushed breakfast too hard.

    Concierge service quick to get taxis etc.

  • Great hotel, very convenient

    I would thoroughly recommend staying at the Grand Central Hotel, Shanghai. The hotel is very conveniently situated a few metres from Nanjing Road. The foyer is quite impressive and when we entered our room it was so big and well set out that we went back down to reception to ask them if we had been upgraded. The hotel is located very close to Nanjing Road and yet it is away from the hustle and bustle. All customer service staff were very helpful and I would stay here again.

  • Great location

    Solihull | Sep 15, 2025 | Trip type: Couples

    Great location with renin park and metro stops in easy reach. Nearby shopping area is also popular so good if you like the big brands.

    Room very comfortable. Bathroom was excellent and felt well looked after.

    Good range of options at breakfast, but you do have to ask them to cook omelettes for longer and tend to serve things raw.

    All staff friendly. Reception was helpful at changing money to smaller notes.

    Did not like the need to wear a swim cap in pool. No hot tub.
