Good well located property right on the waterfront. Easy to walk up and down the river and near the river mall. When we were there the service in the Club floor was spotty and the offerings were not great. Otherwise good stay and good selection of food at breakfast downstairs.

Great stay

Location is the best- easy walking distance to the river, dinning options 10 min walk away.

Staff no freindly and service is low, when I checked in not offered bag delivery to room.

Some staff exceptional. Some novices hopeless. Staff better than the food. Food, not 5-star but warm and enthusiastic staff take care of your taste buds - genuine.

It is one of the best of Kempinski. Location is convenient with 5 minute walking distance to subway station. There are arts center and museums nearby for family time. Great city and river views. Breakfast is good. You may want to dine out for better food with the price.

We received a free upgrade to a corner room which we very much enjoyed. The breakfast buffet was okay but we were happy to have the convenience during our stay. We had some trouble with the lighting in our room, but the staff was very attentive and took care of it right away. We found the location to be very convenient and we could walk to the train station, other restaurants and shopping was just around the corner. The room wifi was sporadic and unreliable, but at least the connection was much stronger in the lobby.

wonderful location and great view of the city. I highly recomemend.

Our room is on the 12th floor just perfect to get a great view of the Bund, Unfortunately the free wifi is only available in public areas only, but not in our room :-(

I enjoyed staying there while I was in Shanghai, it's in a great location right next to metro line 2 which can take you to airport and high rail station and many other places in Shanghai. Room is comfy and quiet and very clean.

My overall experience was very good. The hotel amenities and cleanliness were 5star. My only problem occurred at check in when they did not have my reservation. I had to go up to the red lounge area and use their computer to get my confirmation number which then did not work. I then had to pull out my laptop and show them my reservation at which time the attendant called someone and if by manic my reservation appeared. On check out, my first bill was again charging me for the room and Internet service, which was supposed to be free. When I pointed it out he took back my bill said I owed nothing and did not receive a final bill, which I would still like to get. These issues were not major ones but after 17+ hours of travel these types of issues are a hassle and inconvenience. While it seems a convenience to use this service for hotel, I do not think I will use it for foreign travel because of the communication gap and hassle with not having my reservation ready when I arrived. Better coordination between travel agency and participating hotels needs to occur for better customer satisfaction.

This was a wonderful experience in spite of the cold weather. A great location on the river between Pudong and the Bundt. Great attractions so use taxis liberally as they are inexpensive and time saving.
