Hotel itself is quite good - location, spacious, cleanliness, VIP reception and free internet. But beware of the concierge - they are not qualified! They are the same bell boys who double as concierge because they happen to speak a little English - nothing more. They dont know anything about Shanghai. They'll help you store your luggage or communicate with... more

In the heart of Huangpu District. Easy access to all the interesting points. more

Hotel is very clean and you get free internet in the room. We stayed at the business suite and it came with a computer as well, not sure about the other rooms. The decor is very over the top chinese style furnishing. Bed is quite comfortable. The large bathtub is a small plus. The restaurant is below expectations. Definitely do... more

Stayed for 4 nights in executive suite on 25th floor. Any commentary has to be aware of the rating and for 5 star one can get a little picky. We booked online and paid about US$500 for the 4 nights total. Staff are friendy for a Chinese run hotel (which is often not the case). On arrival we were ushered... more

Stayed at Salvo many many times and whilst the hotel is getting a bit tired the location next to the Bund and Nanjing Road cannot be beaten for the price. Try and get an upgrade to upper floor as the views can be superb. Don't expect large rooms - but they are big enough Excellent top floor bar, but don't... more

Stayed at the Salvo Hotel on September 24. I stayed in a business queen suite which consists of a bedroom and an office room. Excellent hotel with an oriental influence. Located 2 minutes away from Nanjing Road. Rates very affordable compared to other hotels in Shanghai (paid approximately $100 USD). Will be my hotel for all future trips in Shanghai. more

Stayed here for two nights. Rooms were large - actually a business suite but very reasonable - booked through Expedia. Big bonus was the internet available in the room. Bathroom very clean not overly large but separate shower - very fancy and a corner bath. Furniture a little old fashioned in appearance with a slight Chinese flavour (well it is... more

The Salvo Hotel (what a fantastic name!) is very well located in central Shanghai and is very close to the Bund and the Old Town. It is a local Chinese-owned and operated hotel and thus guests shouldn't expect Western-style decor - there were lots of gold carp in my room! Having said that, all the staff I met spoke good... more

Loved the hotel, good English speaking staff, location close to many touristic places (although it is located in an old area in Shanghai, maybe if you want a really modern place you could stay across the river in Pudong area). Nice suite with a living room and a separate bedroom. Big bath tube and separate shower with lots of controls.... more
