Most of staff does not speak English. Since front desk to room service. Also the property is neglected. The building is beautiful, but the administration and maintenance is poor. I ordered room service and was awful. I chose that hotel because is close to the train station but it was a bad choice.

Terrible service
terrible service. We waited an hour for our meal to find out there was no cook in the hotel to prepare the meal! They did not have the respect and decency to inform us. Manager kept saying they were just too busy. Not the first time situation of bad service happen to me at Sofitel hotels. This chain is definitely banned from myself and our company staff.

Dear stephanie, Thank you for your feedback. However we are sorry for what has happened about the delayed service. In order to improve our service quality and provide you better experience in the future, we have done a thorough investigation. The Caprese Salad and Delicatessen Plate was indeed delayed due the some internal reasons, we will make improvement accordingly. However as we are committed to provide the ultimate guest experience. When it happened, we decided immediately to recover the unexpected situation by waiving charges of the French wine you ordered that worth 438.00 CNY and complimentary buffet breakfast for 2 persons worth 396.00 CNY as courtesy. We understand waiving the wine charges and offering 2 breakfasts can not compare to the experience you had. However we really like to do everything we can to make it up to you. Dear stephanie, please note that guest experience and satisfaction is our core to our hotel success, we have high standards and team commitment to ensure the service delivery. The experience you mentioned was an exceptional case, it does not represent our true level of service. We sincerely invite you to come back again, and I'd like to look after your stay personally. Please email me directly if you require any further assistance. Regards, View Li Director of Guest Experience Sofitel Shanghai Hongqiao

Very bad service standard for Sofitel Hong Qiao
I was there for business conference from 20 to 25 Nov, regretted choosing Sofitel instead of Intercontinental. At breakfast, service staffs at noodle and coffee station were extremely rude and not willing to serve..a bad way to start the day. On our way back home, we took their airport transfer from hotel to Pudong international airport in 25/Nov 1020am. The driver was half a time dosing off and we had to wake him up many times to ensure our safety as he almost collided a few times into other vehicles. By doing so, the transfer driver showed us his unhappy attitude and argued with us. Upon arrival at the airport, he just dumped our luggage's onto the ground.

Great experience, nice staff, very spacious rooms, very clean. Internet is a disaster, you need to download a vpn to get a correct access. Found food & beverages little bit expensive. Need a taxi for each time you need to go outside, not reachable by metro. I will stay here again!

Stunning Hotel more Chandeliers than you can poke a stick at. After 18 hours of travel it was a delight to sleep in the extremely comfortable bed. I left a phone charger in my room and Tender had it sent to my next hotel the same day I checked out . Only downside was slow check-in took ages to find my reservation and complete the procedure .
