Reviews

• Junming from United Kingdom – 19 May 2025 (9/10)

  Spacious room with spectacular view. Room is very clean and the team really has taken care of me. Spa is very professional as well. Cynthia at the front desk does an excellent job.
  
  What could be improved: All good

• Bryan from United States – 4 May 2024 (9/10)

  Great spaces, great design

• Philip from South Africa – 15 November 2023 (9/10)

  The location is superb – right on the bund with great views of the Shanghai skyline. The staff are particularly friendly and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Great hotel, excellent location, friendly and helpful, but wifi was a total letdown. This is something the hotel will need to address if it wants to attract business travellers.

• Christina from China – 16 July 2022 (9/10)

  the tranquil atmosphere, layout, decor, space and facilities.
  
  What could be improved: a little bit dusty because of the carpet.

• Sven from Germany – 18 April 2025 (7/10)

  Great room with an amazing view
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately the famous rooftop bar is closed currently and it’s not mentioned. We was really looking forward to get a good cocktail. Due to that it was not possible to order any cocktails

• Elaine from United Kingdom – 26 June 2022 (7/10)

  The room was spacious, clean and the room facilities were great. The front desk staff were really helpful and the breakfast serving staff (Gordon) was really helpful and friendly.
  
  What could be improved: the food menu wasn’t up to date and food and drink generally took a really long time to be served.

• Yan from Australia – 5 November 2023 (1/10)

  nil

• Borja from Spain – 26 May 2025 (9/10)

  La hospitalidad y atención del personal. La variedad de su desayuno. Servicios que te puedes encontrar en el hotel (piscina, gimnasio, spa, servicio de masajes, …)
  
  What could be improved: Que las habitaciones no tuviesen una ventana

• Wolfgang from Austria – 15 April 2025 (9/10)

  Das Frühstücksbuffet war sehr umfangreich – asiatisch und europäisch. Besonders gut gefallen hat uns, dass das Frühstück bis 12 Uhr angeboten wird.
  
  What could be improved: Nichts!

• Mr from South Korea – 19 August 2024 (8/10)

  호텔 1층 식당 / 아침밥이 미친 집이에요
  진심이신듯..
  다만 생각보다 종류는 많지 않지만, 만들어달라하면 잘 만들어주세요
  
  What could be improved: 딱히 없긴 한데 주변에 아무것도 없는게 조금 아쉬워요
  편의점도 꽤 걸어가야 한다는점 참고
