The Waterhouse At South Bund Hotel Shanghai, Shanghai

The hotel offers a homey and comfortable stay under the industrial-heritage environment, with stunning views over Pudong from the rooms, especially the bathroom. However, some aspects seemed overpriced, like worn-out wooden floors. Despite this, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would consider staying again.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. On one hand, the rooms were extremely luminous and well-ventilated, offering a unique view of the inner courtyard, which I found delightful. However, the lack of detailed information about the surrounding area was a downside, and the room size left much to be desired - it certainly wasn't what I would consider a river suite.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were very spacious and clean, featuring a large shower and separate toilet, but they needed some sprucing up. On the bright side, the raised double bed, superb bathroom, Moulton Brown products, and Illy Espresso machine added a touch of luxury to the room.

The hotel offers stunning views over the Bund with rooms furnished to a high standard in an industrial chic style. The rooms feature a small foyer, a bathroom with a double-sink, a sexy peek-a-boo shower with a bathtub, separate toilet, big closets, sleeping area with a desk, and a well-sized private terrace with chairs and a table. While the service was polite and offered a private tour, it lacked in efficiency when it came to getting taxis. The location, while not very convenient at present, is poised to become popular and offers plenty of dining options at the lively docks. The dining experience varied from excellent daily free dishes like raw muesli to occasional disappointments, particularly at the expensive French restaurant. The facilities are modern and spacious, rated highly for their quality.

The hotel room had an impressive modern design with floor-to-ceiling windows that added to the spacious ambiance, yet the lingering smell of smoking was a downside. The service was cordial and reliable but lacked a deep understanding of hospitality nuances. The location offered a quieter retreat near the vibrant city center attractions, with a few disturbances like loud music in the area. The dining experience fell short, with less-than-ideal food quality and limited breakfast options. The facilities provided were satisfactory but not exceptional.
