I've stayed in this hotel a number of times over the years. In the past I always chose the river view, but really all you get is a little sliver of view, so I went for the "garden" view this time. One of the big problems with this side of the hotel is there is an overhang outside the building... More

I was in this hotel because I attended a conference in the adjacent convention center. Overall, my impression is favorable: medium-quality (yet not cheap, but abundant) breakfast and lunch buffets, wide rooms (with a very nice panorama---see picture---if you choose one with a "Bund view"). The service is correct, as is the price They allow you to keep the room... More

this is a pretty good hotel after all, except that the costs are rather high considering the amenities provided. breakfast is good, but the service is average, not everyone speaks a language other than Mandarin Chinese the shower needs some understanding before it can be used if you have a congress in the adjoining Shanghai convention center, then it is...

Nice hotel, friendly staff that speak enough English to get by. Rooms are generous, well furnished, in particular the exec suites which I enjoyed as a bonus upgrade for the first night. Very close to the Bund tunnel, the subway and a lot of sightseeing and shopping.

We stayed in the Oriental Riverside Hotel just for one night, before getting off to BKK. The hotel is a business hotel nevertheless, the location right at the side of the Bund and at the foot of Pearl Tower is just ideal. The hotel itself could do with a little renovation, the restaurant and breakfast is far too expensive, but... More

I stayed at Oriental Riverside Hotel as the hotels further down the road ie. Shangri-la Pudong and Ritz Carlton were too expensive. For the price I paid, I think this is a good hotel. Taxi drivers don't seem to know the hotel for its name, even in Mandarin, but they know Shanghai International Conference Centre, which this hotel is a... More

We booked this hotel by accident having not visited Shanghai for 16 years, but what a pleasant surprise. We thought it was on the other side of the river, as some websites inaccurately show its location. It's tucked away but nicely alongside the Huangpu river. Not necessarily easy to find it/ the entrance from the Metro on your first visit,... More

One of the best located hotels for for sightseeing. The Bund rooms at a small extra cost are a must. The hotel is central to the Glitz of Shanghai and only a few hundred yards from the metro. The hotel itself is a genuine 5 star international standard, expensive for Shanghai but well worth it.

I might be kicking myself for writing this because everytime I find an awesome place that's just off the beaten path, it seems like the next time I travel down that path, it's worn and tattered. Well, let me first say that my taxi driver didn't even know where this place was, but when I got to it it was... More
