This hotel is in a highly convenient location, easy to access to PVG airport and railway stations via metro or taxi. Guests can overlook Jing An Temple from its breakfast room. There are many shops and restaurants nearly. Staff are courteous and helpful, especially Albert and other front desk team members and Shirley and other catering service team members. We have stayed in this hotel many times, the best one compared with a few other ones we stayed, totally satisfied every time. We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Shanghai, whether for business or for leisure.

Room was very spacious and the air felt clean. The housekeeping staff Emily went above and beyond noticing we had a baby without us mentioning and giving us extra things for the baby. The entire staff from front desk to dining to housekeeping were excellent. Highly recommend!

The room did not have aircon during our stay just the fan function is available and the room temperature was 24.5 degrees C. So we requested for an electric fan to allow some circulation of air inside the room. We also opened the window to allow some cool outside air to come in otherwise the room was hot and stuffy. But the traffic noise was too loud to have a pleasant and peaceful sleep. It’s not yet winter and the hotel did not provide any air conditioning for optimum comfort. Very disappointed and had to endure 6 nights of discomfort.

Personnel from all departments -- from doormen to reception to concierge to room service to restaurant staffers -- all showed professionalism and great care to hotel guests. The level of service tops any 5-star international hotel chains.
The breakfast buffet is a delight. Though not the biggest spread, the quality of food is unparalleled. I love the pastries, they are all made in house.
Special thanks to the head chef and Yoyo Meng at the restaurant.
The paramount Gallery Hotel is going to be my hotel of choice in any future Shanghai trip.

We stayed on the 19th floor and we could hear the street performers singing from evening till closes to 9pm every night. The staff at the hotel were all friendly except the one standing near the carpark gantry at level one. Bedroom was comfortable and clean, breakfast variety was good for our 7 nights stay.

Mom and daughter visiting Shanghai for Summer Camp

I reserved this Paramount Gallery hotel because it was walking distance to my daughter's YK Pao School summer camp (20 min. each way). The hotel's breakfast had a good selection of Chinese/Asian and Western food, including beverages, salad, fruits, desserts, etc.
I was surprised to see that not only it was close to the school, but it's a 5 min walk to a supermarket, (FreshMart), a food court with 20+ food choices, a park with coffee shops and a temple. The Paramount Gallery hotel is a block away from the metro line 2, which is amazing to move around the city. It's also two blocks away from a theater (movies), high-end shopping, restaurants, and a larger organic food supermarket (Olé). Overall, my daughter I had a good time at the Paramount Gallery Hotel. We would stay again in the future.

We booked a business room and it was enormous! Although the carpets seem a bit run down, the hotel in general was well kept and clean. Breakfast buffet in the hotel was very delicious and full of choices. The hotel has the best location in Shanghai, just in front of Jing'an Temple and walk to CBD via Nanjing Street. Subway is nearby but we used taxis mostly. Lots of eateries and a nice foot spa/massage place in the same building as the hotel where we received group discount (tuangou)while paying cash. Will stay again

Wait 2 years until the road works are finished

I was allocated a room on the Jing An temple side of the property. This over looked the temple and the street. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my last experience at this hotel where there were road works happening ALL NIGHT, with the jack hammers digging up the concrete.
This time, I was there on a weekend, and there was only the occasional hammering happening. This became noticeable because the Air Conditioning gets turned off at night!!! So, i had to open the window which then let all the noise in
The room temp got to 26 degrees at night - in April.
After a LOT of fuss on my behalf, they eventually agreed to transfer me to the other side, so that road noise didnt come in (but the air con still went off). They wanted to charge me for the \"upgrade\" because they said that my type of room didnt exist on that side of the hotel. I refused to pay extra when it was their responsibility to provide air con and noise-free room. In fact, when I got there, i found that it was the exact same type of room
I told everyone to please prevent me from staying at this hotel again. I suggest others do the same

Decent Hotel in the Center of Shanghai

We stayed at the Paramount Gallery Hotel for one night after flying in from another province, and before heading home to the US. We were excited to stay based on the pictures and reviews, but I would rate our stay as average.

The hotel's biggest plus is that it is very centrally located--right across the street from Jing'an Temple in the French Concession. There's a lot of eating places nearby, and the hotel itself is right on Nanjing Xi Lu which is great for shopping. I'm an especial fan of the French Concession, so it was nice to be smack dab in the middle.

The room was in decent condition, but felt in need of an upgrade/renovation. Paint looked old, carpet kinda stained, furniture scratched, ceiling/molding peeling. Beds were really comfy, view was great, but especially disappointed with the bathroom. It was really, really small and cramped, lights were kinda flickering, and was the part of the room most in need of some kind of touch up.

Service was okay, and the breakfast was decent as well with both American and Chinese options, but having stayed at other similarly priced hotels in Shanghai, we just weren't all that impressed.

Overall, no big complaints, but also not impressed. Given the variety of options throughout Shanghai, we probably won't be back.

The hotel was lovely and the staff friendly. However, the staff had relatively poor English and communication was quite difficult especially when asking for directions. The location was good with beautiful shops, gardens, and restaurants. It was close to the metro train station which made getting around Shanghai very convenient. We did choose this hotel over some others based on the pool and spacious gym. However, on arrival at the hotel we found there was NO pool and a tiny gym. The hotels.com website clearly shows what appears to be a pool and substantial fitness centre. For us this was VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING to find there was no pool.
