Piaoying Bund Hotel Shanghai - Shanghai

The place smells; from the moment you enter the elevator, to the hallway, to the room. Accommodations were alright, but didn't find a hairdryer (which every room was supposed to have). The air conditioner had 3 settings: Hi, Med, Low. And it was annoyingly loud. Didn't stay at the hotel for too long, so I could make do with these, but very unlikely […] I'll return to stay here. It was conveniently close (10 mins walking distance) to the MRT station. Read more

No Internet...I have stayed here before and everything worked...I think this time because it was Spring Festival because the internet went down they had no one there who had the power to fix it so it just stayed down. I got out of there to get a hotel with access but last time I checked it was still down (at least 4 days so far.) Internet is very important […] to have especially in China. There are not tons of options outside of the hotels Internet cafes are scarce to non existent and there are very few free wifi set ups like Mcdonalds or Starbucks that actually work in a reasonable fashion.

The hotel is fine for the price but the internet has been down in the entire hotel for two days now. When I told the guy at the front desk I may want to book another night he gave me a price way higher than expedia and would not match it. I guess I am out of here.

Genuine Expedia guest review

everthing was ok but no AC and they don't want to trun on the AC becaues they didn't feel is hot.

Genuine Expedia guest review

No free wifi as advertised. They had, "just given out thier last map." Also, I highly recomend asking for a room in the middle of the hotel or the east end, as there is construction going on at least through mid 2013. Jack hammers started at 6:52 am, local time, on a Sunday. With that said, the room itself wasn't bad.

Genuine Expedia guest review

In general the place looked a little shabby and run-down but it was clean and the air-conditioning and hot water worked. A good cheap hotel if you're not picky. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

If you need to luxuriate, try another--more expensive--hotel. If you are satisfied with a relatively clean, comfortable hotel with pretty good food, helpful enough staff, and limited use of their single computer available to guests, this is a good deal--with an excellent location for getting around to the many fascinating places in the Bund and People's […] Square areas.

The paradigm shifts when one travels in China. This hotel was not great for an American hotel - but that is not a fair comparison. For starters, I should clean up a few discrepancies: the hotel does not have a pool, there is no shopping on-site, the "spa" is not an active facility, the rooms have wired internet but there is no wifi in the hotel, and […] smoking is allowed everywhere (despite the signage in the rooms). The hotel in general is a bit shabby, but the location is pretty good. It is about two blocks off of the Bund, so you get a better price without sacrificing much in the way of location. The staff tries to be helpful but many do not speak any english at all. The restaurants are bare-bones, but so are many in China. The rooms themselves have a good view of the Bund and Pudong. Overall, the hotel is a place to sleep and maybe have the buffet breakfast (which is a great deal at 25 yuan), but not much more than that. If you are looking to be pampered, go elsewhere. If you want a better-than-average place to sleep, this hotel should work just fine. Read more

Perfect location! You are right at the convergence of the two rivers with an incredible view of the city (if you ask for city view room and are granted it), and behind you is the beginning of a longtang (the old areas of Shanghai). The hotel is just 5-6 blocks from a subway station which is so easy to use. Go on Google and type in top ten things to […] do in Shanghai and go to a few different sites and cross-reference; eventually you will find the coolest things to do and see. Read more

This hotel was very cozy and much nicer than anticipated. It offered a comfy spacious room with wired internet access. It had a nice selection of tv channels, a full shower and bath, and very good air conditioning. The location is very good, there is a family mart nearby and more importantly the Line 10 subway is only a 10 minute walk away! There is […] a cheap breakfast offered that wasn't bad but not especially good either. It still is a total steal for the price, I highly recommend this hotel! Read more

I liked the location of this hotel and that is about it. It was an okay place to stay but I can't really say that I enjoyed staying there. I know smoking is permitted in hotels in China, but all the smoking going on in the lobby was pretty annoying I must say. Kind of feel like the place really needs to get with it. Customer service was okay. The front […] desk personnel were okay, but not terribly friendly. The reason I write a ho hum review about this place is because I ended up finding another hotel just down the street that was much cleaner, comfortable and there the staff was much friendlier and helpful. I think this hotel can do a lot better. Read more

I think the food at the hotel is terrible, but general condition and location of the hotel are decent. Most of the receptionists are not very friendly and helpful except for one.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is really close to the bund, many local restaurants near by and a very convenient location. It is only a 10 minute taxi ride to Nanjing road, Xintiandi, and the metro stations. It's ~20 min ride to the other side of the huangpu river. You can take the ferry (2 RMB) or taxi (~25RMB). The airports are kinda far away so you can take the metro […] Line 2/Line10 to the nanjing station and then take a 10min taxi. Otherwise it's a 150RMB taxi ride from the airports. The rooms were kind of outdated just like majority of the hotels in china. The beds are not very comfortable. Other than that we enjoyed our 3 night stay. Read more

Furniture was worn and broken at places. Service variable, but usually poor-unresponsive. Also gave me superior room and charged for deluxe. Not sure if straightened out. Had to be discovered on my own-no mention made on arrival or otherwise by staff.

Good hotel, good price, friendly staff, everything was ok.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything was as advertised. Remember to tell the hotel that you booked with Expedia and the internet will be free. They may forget to turn it on if you do not remind them. This hotel is really close to the Bund and a great place to stay to explore Shanghai on foot.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is in a great location. It's close to the Bund and there are lots of local small restaurants nearby on the street in front of the hotel. The lobby is nice, too, and some employees speak English. They also exchange money, but at an unreasonable exchange rate. My room, while basically clean, was not impressive. The hallway carpet was rumpled […] and worn. My door closed only with great force. The windows didn't close well, which let in a lot of the outside noise, and there was lots of that. I was told that my particular floor was being prepared for renovation. Read more

The hotel staff were kind and friendly. English communication was limited. (we wanted to buy tickets to Shanghai Centre ( acrobats) and the hotel got the tickets for us.

I have stayed in this hotel twice now. First time in July 2011 for 3 weeks. Second time June 2012 for 1 night. A good cheap hotel to be based from if you are the kind of traveler who spends the whole day out exploring. Also great for an overnight stopover in Shanghai. Surrounding area can be dodgy at times (very safe, just has a lot of 'massage' girls. […] There is a great vegetarian restaurant 2 min walk up the street - great food, very clean and honest and quite cheap 20-35 RMB per meal. The hotel itself is a little old and rundown. Stay away from level 2 unless you can speak descent Chinese and are into illegal gambling and prostitution. This hotel is great for a young couple looking for a base in Shanghai or a single traveler/local businessman. Nanjing east subway station is about a 10-20 minute walk, depending on your fitness, but a great walk as there is plenty of activity on the street. Only 5-10min walk to the north end of the Bund, with great views of Pudong. Read more

The hotel was overall okay for the price we paid. close to the bund but noisy during the night time as we can hear car honking out on the street or music from nearby clubs.

The hotel was ok but the location not so good cos its a bit far distance from major turistic areas of Shanghai. However the hotel lies in a wonderful for local shanghainess food

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very average; recommended if you're merely looking for a place to lay your head within walking distance from the Bund, since it was very affordable. The heating was very poor, a real pain in January, and the adjacent street was very busy with Shanghaiese doing what they love; honking their horns for absolutely no reason.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Perfect place to stop for seeing the rest of the city. Nothing hugely special, but at the same time the quality of the hotel for the price was top notch. Would definitely recommend! However, please note that the location on the map on the expedia page is NOT where the hotel actually is. It's on the same road, but about half a mile down the road nearer […] the Bund (the big river) Read more

Hotel Room interior were very shabby and not at all good. However the nearby surrounding and view of the BUND was very attractive. Please suggest the China hotel reception to Speak ENGLISH and the hotel area has call girls and massage girls roaming around. Rest the staff was co-operative.

for the price I had paid I couldnt believe my luck...the hotel location was wonderful, 5-10 minutes walk to the Bund, another 5 minutes to East Nanjing st. The rooms were well serviced and clean.

Very bad housekeeping service, very hard bed, air con is not working. VERY HOT even during Autumn. Imagine staying in the summer !!! DO NOT stay in this hotel. But if you want a good location, it is very near to the bund.

We took the Maglve to CenturyAve and then changed onto Line 10 station Tiantong Road. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the hotel.We arrived early but there were no problems with checking in early. A 100 yuan deposit was required, no problem but it would have been nice to know about it. We were initally given room7 05 - do not take this room ! it was […] behind the lift shaft and the walls were constantly vibrating. Reception immediately gave us a new room 712 which was instantly better. The views from the window were spectacular- overlooking the creek with the Pudong skyline. The room was simple and clean.There was a fridge and a kettle, ample space for all of our things and an ok bathroom.This could be improved with a new shower head as there was a lot of limescale build up. The aircon worked fine and did not keep us awake at all. Location wise, fantastic 10mins to the metro one way, 5 mins to the Bund, 10mins to East Nanjing Rd. Breakfast was offered for roughly 25 yuan but was quite honestly awful. The hotpot restaurant next door was quite an experience, worth a go and very reasonable prices. The bar of the Park Hyatt at the global financial centre (the tall bottle opener looking building) was well worth it - better than queuing for the viewing platform. I also noticed some websites say there is a pool but it seems it is only a Spa. Overall for the price, the view and the location outways any negatives. Read more

This hotel was OK. The location wasn't too bad and the metro was a few blocks away straight down the street - which was handy. A lot of street noise made it difficult to sleep at times. The staff spoke enough English to get what you needed. The room wasn't fancy but it was comfortable. The hotel restaurants weren't the greatest but at least they had […] a cheap breakfast buffet available. Read more

One of our biggest problems about the hotel was finding it. Zhapu Rd is not where the map indicates and the hotel itself is far nearer the river. Hence we spent over an hour in a very run down neighbourhood trying to the hotel. Not a good start. When we got there the hotel was fine. As other reviewers say, the rooms need some renovation and the air […] conditioning leaves something to be desired. Also Hotels.com, they don't have a pool (they have a spa/sauna but not a pool). The rooms were clean and for the money we paid, a very good deal indeed. Housekeeping were pleasant and helpful although IT support was a bit clueless. Eventually sorted internet access problems ourselves. Hairdriers are not in the room but available on request and with a deposit. Would recommend simply on value but this plays needs a bit of TLC.

Room was large but the furniture was too small. The view of the landfill site at the back of the hotel was terrible.

外灘観光にも好適な立地かつ高価ではないこのホテルを選び週末に宿泊しました。期待通り上海明珠タワー等の超高層ビル街の壮観を眺めつつ軽い散歩で、白渡橋を渡れば英国領事館の前の外灘エリアに迷わず行けました。ホテル自体の印象は古き良き時代のロマンティックなイメージを温存していて、レトロな内外装それ自体も旅の楽しみと思えました。館内は良く手入れされ清潔で近代的設備が設置されており安心できます。

We had a nice four days stay at Piaoying Bund Hotel Shanghai. It is relatively cheap and has a perfect location if you want to see Shanghai by foot. As other reviewers have noticed the mattress was not super thick, but if you have walked around the city the whole day it doesn´t matter.
