In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Skyline views from your room — Many rooms, including the King Room Pearl Tower View and Cool Corner King Room Bund View, frame the city skyline. Guests consistently call out the views as a highlight.
  • Breakfast buffet that wows — Guests describe it as a feast with a vibrant, innovative selection and excellent pastries. One called it 'totally a feast'.
  • Attentive, warm service — Staff repeatedly receive praise for going out of their way, offering warm welcomes, and providing helpful recommendations.
  • Pool with a view — The seasonal outdoor pool offers skyline views that guests describe as swimming in luxury. There's also an indoor pool for year-round use.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not right on the Bund — The hotel is a 25-minute walk from The Bund Road, so it's not directly on the waterfront. You'll need to factor in that stroll or use transport.
  • No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted on the property, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're travelling with a furry friend.
  • Price can be high for some — At £7 per night (from), it's a 5-star price point. Value rating is 9.5, but the cost may not suit every budget.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight won't be able to check in until the next day.
