Radisson Collection Hyland Shanghai

Radisson Collection Hyland Shanghai ★★★★

📍 No. 505, Nanjing East Road (Check in on the 2nd Floor), Huangpu District, Shanghai

"The hotel is well-located, right in the middle of the pedestrian street. We stayed in a standard room, but after our flight was canceled due to a typhoon, we extended our stay for another day and were moved to an upgraded room. The room was fantastic, we were probably lucky. It had two rooms: a living room with a sofa and a magnificent view of the pedestrian street. Besides a tea set, there was also a coffee machine. There was also a large, separate bathroom. It's an ideal option for a family with a child. The breakfasts are very good, with options for both children and adults. The only thing I didn't notice was an omelet station; there were fried eggs and scrambled eggs instead. But you won't go hungry; a delicious and hearty breakfast is guaranteed."

Toy Story Hotel ★★★★
"The environment here is great, and it's super convenient for getting to Disneyland with the free shuttle bus and complimentary luggage storage. The staff are all incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. The only minor downside was the breakfast; I had read online that you could re-enter as many times as you wanted, but that wasn't the case. We rushed through breakfast to get an early start, and my child didn't even get enough to eat. We wanted to ride a few attractions and then come back to finish, but were told we could only enter once! Everything else was really good though!"
