Radisson Collection Hyland Shanghai

Radisson Collection Hyland Shanghai

10/10 Excellent
"I never write hotel reviews but this one was special to me. It was my birthday coming up and they arranged to have a cake delivered to my room! It was a small cake, so please don't give your expectations up reading this review, but it was a perfect size for me. I was just so touched that they would go above and beyond for me, especially when it was not my birthday until after my stay. This service alone is worth 10 stars."
