Guest reviews· 9.2/10 (472)

The Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund consistently receives high praise, primarily for its excellent location directly on the Bund, offering guests convenient access to iconic sights and the East Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. Guests frequently highlight the hotel's comfortable accommodations and the exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff. The service is often described as attentive, contributing to a thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable stay for many.

Further enhancing the guest experience, the hotel offers a range of desirable amenities. The breakfast, available with numerous choices including Western and Chinese options, is frequently commended. Other facilities such as an indoor swimming pool, spa and wellness center, and a coffee house on-site add to the luxurious experience. Special diet menus and the option for in-room breakfast are also appreciated by visitors.

While the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many reviews focusing on the perfect location and superb rooms, a minor recurring sentiment suggests that while the Bund location is a major draw, some guests might consider staying in a different area for a varied experience after visiting the Bund, though this does not detract from the hotel's appeal itself.
