I stayed at Panorama hotel for a weekend because of its price and proximity to the bund. Staff is unfriendly and speaks little English. I got a very spacious living room, average bedroom and tiny kitchen and bathroom. Excellent view of the bund from the 26 floor. Cleanliness of living and bedroom is acceptable but toilet and kitchen were just... More

First thoughts were very negative. Tired rooms, dirty carpet, black mould in bathroom. REALLY hard bed. Unfriendly staff. No conciergecservices. Breakfast pretty average. Great views if you get a front room. Good location. Try to stay somewhere else More

Just off the Bund, this hotel has lots going for it despite obvious problems. Great location close to transport, gardens, spectacular river vistas, exercise on the Bund and close contact with the locals. The best feature of a ten day stay in a three room suite on the tenth floor, was without doubt the sumptuous breakfast which erased all the... More

I just finished a 3 night stay at this hotel. It is well worn. There has been some updating of the rooms but the common areas still look unkempt. You could see by the marks on the wall and floor how my room used to have two beds and now was a single with a seating area. Of course the... More

I stayed 5 nights on Business. Initial response was it looked tired and felt tired. Breakfast range was basic. The killer point is view and location, both of which are excellent. I had a service apartment on north side which meant bedroom and lounge and side view of river with a chance to see the sun rise. Bed was hard.... More

My family and I recently stayed in the Panorama Hotel in Shanghai for two nights at the start of a short tour of northern China. We stayed in a 2-bedroom family suite on the 21st floor that had eye-poppingly fabulous views of the Bund, Pudong and the Huangpo River. In fact, I could hardly think of any other place in... More

The VIEW: surely one of the best in the world (and I have seen lots of marvellous views). A shame to sleep, and wonderful with open curtains throughout the night. The cost was very good: 799 RMB (tax included) (about $120). Breakfast about 70 RMB each ($10). www.sinohotel.com as usual provides an exceptionally convenient and totally reliable way to search...

The two rooms we had were both dirty. The dining/breakfast room is a disgrace. The carpet is filthy and stained. The buffet cupboards are dirty. The staff are not helpful. We were amazed to see an Accor Hotels flag flying from a flag pole outside. We stay in many Accor hotels, but this is a disgrace to their brand. The... More

i booked a 5-night stay at this hotel thru www.directrooms.com, 3 months ahead of my trip. 4 days before my scheduled flight, i received a call from directrooms and the person said that my booking with this hotel has been cancelled due to overbooking. However, they dont have info as to why this happened. After 3 days of solid argument... More
