This hotel is fantastic for the price. I paid 580 for a deluxe room with a view of the Pudong. You will read some comments below where people are saying that this is not is a good area. I would absolutely disagree, it's a great area and right in the middle of all the old 30's houses along with what... more

The good: Somewhat cheap, although it was more expensive that I thought. I bet you can find cheaper hotels in a better location. The bad: Carpet was really dirty. The shower had mildew growing all over it. Hotel location is far from everything, even a metro stop. We had to walk at least 3 blocks to the nearest metro. Overall,... more

Great hotel, friendly staff with passable English and a GREAT location. While the immediate surrounding area is nothing to write home about, the hotel is only two blocks from a Metro station and the main downtown area on this side of the river. You can definitely walk to the Bund, but it's probably about 20 minutes. Great value too! more

Leaving China I had to fly out of Shanghai so I stayed at the riverside for one night. I wish I could have stayed here longer. A nice room for a good price. more

The rooms in this hotel are very nice, large and spacious with a good bathroom. No complaints whatsoever about the room. The location of the hotel however is not exactly fantastic. It is only a short walk to Nanjing Road and about 15minutes to the Bund. However, if I was staying in Shanghai again I would prefer to stay in... more

We visited shanghai on our last leg of the china tour at the end of May 08. We've been to many 4-5 star hotels on the trip in Beijing, Xi'an, Suzhou, Guilin. This one in Shanghai is one of our favorites. The location is great -- walking distance to Nanjing Road and the Bund Riverside. There're also some interesting local... more

The hotel is in very good condition, room was very clean and furnished in an elegant modern style with flat-screen tv. Located close to Nanjing Road (main shopping street). Hotel staff is helpful and English speaking (more or less). Breakfast was really great with a large choise of different dishes. The panoramic window of the breakfast room offers a nice... more

Having stayed at the Bund Riverside hotel before, I decided to book it again for my next business trip. I hate to say that the service and hotel have really gone backward since the last time. The internet speed for a start is a joke, as is the 1RMB per minute charge. Breakfast is very poor, the croissants tasted like... more

This was our first vist to China, taking in Beijing, Dalian (business part of the trip) and Shanghai. I cannot understand the negative comments from some reviewers. We have travelled many parts of the world extensively and while this is not the best hotel we've stayed in, it is far from the worst! We were fortunate to get a great... more
