I used The Bund Hotel as a springboard to see friends in Shanghai and Hangzhou. Do not confuse this hotel with others having "Bund" in their names. The Bund area along the river is a carryover from the days when Europeans dominated Shanghai. You can see this in the architecture along the HuangPu River. Their address: No. 525 Guangdong Road,... more

This is definitely not to be compared to international chains but the hotel is clean, efficient, and staff is very helpful. Just not used to having people smoke all around you and having 3 dedicated non smoking floors where people still smoke in the hallways... Location, quite convenient to walk 5 mins to the shopping street. If you are a... more

The room is acceptable and the bathroom is nice. However the bed is so hard, I got some back pain. What really annoyed me is the cashier from the Chinese restaurant on the 2nd floor, I think. It was my last night so I have only dollars with me and a credit card. All the places we went accepted credit... more

The counter/bell/concierge service is decent, presumably due to the business clientele the hotel may be targeting. Airport transfers are somewhat expensive - avoid if you have the time to book or take public transportation. The single rooms are standard furnished but very small. The twin/double rooms are a reasonable size. In-room, wired internet access is available but chargeable. Breakfast is... more

This hotel has a lot going for it, but just isn't quite managed right. The front desk staff spoke limited English and were none too friendly or accomodating. During check-in, the bellhops did not offer to help with our many bags. The concierge was great. Most annoying...expensive Internet, expensive coffee and no breakfast included. I also lost some items that... more

We are just back from a 3 night stay at this good 4 star hotel in a convenient location, a couple of blocks from East Nanjing Road and maybe 4 blocks from The Bund. For Aussies who like to eat at M on The Bund it's just a straight walk down Guangdong Lu to get there. Our non smoking room... more

I stayed here for 10 nights in June. Only 3 floors are non-smoking. I had booked a non-smoking room on the executive floor, which, I found out when I arrived, doesn't exist. I was immediately offered an upgrade to a suite on a non-smoking floor, with complementary internet access. A steal at $80 a night. Staff, particularly the Concierge desk,... more

We stayed at the Bund in Shanghai on May 6th-7th and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are a family with three kids (12. 9, and 8 years old). We arrived at the Bund very late at night as it was our first night in China. We had lots of questions for the employees in the lobby, and they were very... more

The Bund hotel in Shanghai is not on the Bund and is not to be confused with the Hyatt-on-the-Bund Hotel. The Bund Hotel is a modern four star hotel ideally located in the center of central (Huangpu area) Shanghai. The East Nanjing Road pedestrian zone (and metro stop) is a 10 minute walk north; the People’s (Renmin) Park (and major... more
