Good Hotel But Beware Of Some Arrogant Hotel Staff Members”

I had the Deluxe Bund View Room which was spacious and had a good view of The Shanghai Bund, especially during the night. The housekeeping staff members were doing well and always replenished the amenities. The hotel check-in counter/front desh staff members were also friendly and helpful. But there was one hotel staff, Mr. Robby Song (tall and arrogant person), was not helpful at all to help me to get any taxi while he was on duty. He just pretended to assist me but in fact he did not do anything to assist me, just standing and waiting for a taxi to come to the hotel. At the end, I just took a walk to go to the closest Shanghai Metro station to take the subway. However on the next day, when I want to get a taxi, I found a different staff on duty, Mr. Arnold Liu. He was polite and very helpful to get me a taxi. In a very short time, I got my taxi. Thanks to Mr. Arnold Liu who just made my day brighter.

Exceptional”

Very clean and luxurious hotel with fantastic amenities in the room and attentive staff - great value for money. We ate delicious food at the Italian restaurant within the hotel. The hotel is a short (8-10 minutes) walk to Lujiazui metro station which made it very convenient to get to various parts of the city. Was about an hour each way to get to the Formula 1 Circuit by metro. There is a 7-Eleven and some restaurants a short walk from the hotel. Only complaint is that the ATM in the Hotel Lobby did not allow transactions using several of our cards that we tried (both Mastercard and Visa) which was annoying as many vendors around Shanghai did not accept these cards either and we needed cash!

Above average”

I’ve booked non-smoking room, but unfortunately some guests from the other room was smoking, the corridor was full of smelly smoke, for two days but no one could resolve the issue. No penalty to those Chinese smokers... this is too bad!

Best view, Clean”

Very clean, good facilities but it's quite far from public transportation

Execellent Hotel”

Stayed here for a night Dec. 2-3, 2017. We got here a bit early and the room wasn’t ready yet. We went back around 3pm and checked-in. We were surprised that we have been upgraded to executive room. Checked-in was fast. The room was great. Love the facilities of the hotel. The hotel is very near the oriental pearl tower and about 10-15mins walk. The few things that i think the hotel needs to improve are: 1. Hospitality of the staff. (When we checked-in around 11am, the male front desk staff does not smile at all and looks very serious. I had stayed for several 5 star hotels and i never experienced this before.) 2. For the room, maybe they can add bluetooth speaker. 3. Coffee amenities - i’m not sure if they have sweeteners like splenda or equal but in the room did not found any. Did not bother to ask anymore. Overall i would still recommend this hotel and had wonderful stay.

Returning after a year”

This has been my regular hotel until a bad incident by the hotel front desk management one and half year ago. When I finally decided to return again I am pleased that the management has improved. Room is abit expensive but considering its location is excellent. The only thing that has gone worst since my last stay is the staff greetings. Basically there is no greetings or help offers. Facilities wise this is a five star but staff training wise this is more like a three and half star hotel. There is better hotel with similar price around the area with higher standard of customer service.

Truly represents a five star hotel standard”

From the beginning John the front desk staff who checked us in was very courteous and friendly. The view from our assigned room is fantastic. Branded bath amenities, big plush towels, excellent bedding and excellent sheets! The HK staff was very attentive also and preempted our needs during our stay If I had to complain it would be that the heater is weak, taking a good hour to warm up the room during which we were freezing, dark stain wood finish is extremely dated, wifi is atrociously slow takes 2 mins to load a cnbc page but slow wifi is typical of five star hotels.

Location, location, location”

This is my regular hotel with great service whenever I travel to Shanghai until my last stay. A new receptionist unfamiliar with system took very long time to check me out (made some mistakes), took my credit card and then forgot to return my credit card which she kept with her in the inner side of reception desk. I was without credit card for a few days during my travel. When I returned to Shanghai to collect my credit card all the French manager could offer was only a very casual sorry and passed my card to me. It's about his attitude which was not sincere and sympathetic that really put me off. He even said it was my mistake for not checking and asking back my credit card and not the hotel's mistake. This is not acceptable for a 5 star international hotel. So I booked another hotel for my final days of business in Shanghai. I really like this hotel but not sure I will stay here again. Hence I give rating of 1 to staff performance (mainly due to the unprofessional attitude of the French manager).

A fantastic stay”

Overall it was a fantastic stay in the hotel. A luxury hotel with very good location which is near to Oriental Pearl Tower. A few minutes walking distance to LuJiaZui metro which is very convenient to access to most of the places such as airport.

Good hotel in great location ”

Very nice hotel , after taking over management from Gran Melia ( ex hotel name), Kempinski managing the hotel in very good way. It is conveniently located in main business district of Pudong, walking distance from shops, shangri-la. I have previously stayed many times in Shangri-la Pudong, but now prefer this hotel as service is same and price much cheaper.

excellent hotel”

overall are good, except there was a little problem when i was checking in but the staff could handle it nicely. hotel location is really convenience to go the business area and shopping area. it is just next to the shanghai aquarium and pearl tower. nice city view and excellent service.

a true 5-star hotel with great service”

Hotel is a true 5 or 6* type. The decor is good, not in the usual strange Chinese mix. Hotel is located near the Pearl Tower, about 15 mins walk. There is a new street earthere that Shanghai is trying to promote as a upmarket eat street. The erstaurants look good from the outside but I didn't try. Hotel is not very convenient for other activities, being in the middle of the office area. The subway is 10-15 mins away, taxis are available but they can pick passengers depending on destinations. This is SH. The interior of rooms are very well appointed and very comfortable, including the desk/chair. Staff is super helpful and super efficient. I stayed here before the name change (Gran Melia) and it didn't disappoint this time.

Recently opened Hotel in good Location”

I was looking for a good 5 star hotel in Pudong near the TV tower and the shopping mall. The hotel must be very new and the price was an excellent offer for the service and standard offered. I hope they can keep this level in the future and will return next time I visit Shanghai.

Top Class, Great Value”

No complaints at all. Hotel seems quiet but standard of rooms and service was excellent. Fitness centre is OK but has great view of Shanghai skyline and top floor pool is very nice. For the price, it is excellent VFM.

Great hotel in central location in Pudong”

I had a great stay at the hotel, but the staff was not particularly friendly or helpful, passing me from one person to another. Other then that, I had a great stay and would hihgly recommend the hotel to others.

Good location, new hotels”

hotel is new and conveniently close to the business areas, pearl tower and the bund (by taxi). sight seeing around that area is good. hotel is new and well equipped with facilities. rooms and surrounding areas are well maintained and clean. staff is polite but sometimes lack feedback (you need to confirm whether they have understood or will do what is requested). overall a pleasant stay and pleasant hotel.

Location, Location and qaulity hotel”

would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, 100% customer service, nice staff members which were helpful, impressive room, great level 30 pool and spa, one of the best hotels i have ever stayed in, i would not book anywhere else in the future in shanghai.

Nice Hotel and great service ”

nice rooms, nice hotel staffs, good location. hotel is near to the pearl tower and just next to the bund which will have a good view of the bund if you get the river view room. it is also near to the pudong business district which is ideal for business travellers as well. puxi is just a tunnel away and you can get to the other size of shanghai in minutes.
