    Great location - Close to Bund”

    Location, New Renovation
    Few restaurants around

    I am traveling from Canada to visit the Expo for 4 days. This hotel has a great location. It is 10-min walk along the promenade to the Bund. Indeed, I was staying in a riverview room on the 15th floor and I had a gorgeous view of the bund! The next day, I walked 15 minutes and it took me to Cheng Huang Temple area (the Old Town area). This hotel is also renovated in 2009. Very modern and good sized room and I am very picky about bathroom, but I like this one a lot. I usually don't order room service because of the high price (I rather go outside and eat). I don't know if it is this hotel or it is China, the 24-hour room service is very cheap! I have ordered food via room service 3 days in a row. I get a shanghai noodle. Although, there is not many restaurants around the hotel, I survived. There is a Chinese restaurant with decent local food located on the 3rd floor of the hotel - a little pricy comparing to food in general in Shanghai, but still a good price in North America standard. I will definitely stay at this hotel again.

    Great location with view and friendly staff”

    The hotel has an amazing view of the river with its futuristic buildings on the opposite side and a breathtaking view of the historic Bund just down the road.

    the hotel had a friendly and helpful staff. the room was very nice and quite reasonable for the price. best of all is the wonderful view of the river. the hotel is well named, "the riverview." at night the bund is illuminated and stretches in a crescent shape along the river. the old historic buildings give one a sense what shanghai must have been like back in its heyday. if one has ever read a book about old shanghai, you can almost imagine the streets teeming with white russian exiles, british merchants and a host of other foreign business and trade representatives. across the river are stunning modern skyscrapers that are a vision of the future. nearby is the hip and urbane "cool docks" with its jazz bars, pubs and trendy restaurants. if you want a blend of the old and the modern then make your next stay in shanghai at the riverview.

    Awesome hotel”

    Location, staff and excellent view

    The river view was the nicest place we stated at in china (admittedly we booked into some budget hotels for the trip) the staff were accommodating and very helpful. We stayed in a river view room which had fabulous views of the financial district across the river ( there is a huge amount of construction going on next to the hotel and I'm not sure if the river view will be left with one after the new building next door is finished. The staff were very helpful and generally had some of the best English skills we experienced in china. Only had breakfast there once, but it was again better than all of the other places we stayed in. Walking distance (2min) from the south bund fabric market, if you want some coats or suits made. And about 20 min walk or a short and cheap(shanghai taxis all use the meter and don't try and bargain) ride to the bund itself. 10-15 min walk to closest subway. Rooms were generous and very clean and well maintained. Would recommended this hotel.

    Friendly staff, nice comfortable rooms,central location

    riverview hotel may not be 5-star hotel, but if i came back to shanghai again, i'll stay in this hotel.everything from the moment of arrival at the hotel functioned as it should be. the hotel staff speaks english and they gave me the room i was looking at booking time. the room was on floor 19, with a beautiful view of the river and the bund, especially in the evening when the lights began dancing at the bund. construction work on the structure are quite low and did not disturb me at all. room was spacious (i am a solo traveler) enough for two. bathroom small but with all the amenities you can expect in a hotel of this category. who likes to walk, yuyuan garden is just a few minutes walk from the hotel, bund 15 min. and east nanjing road (pedestrian street) for about half an hour. also nearby is the bus station, and who does not like to walk can use the bus. treminal for boats that cruise the river is very close and this is another advantage. the only drawback is that the nearest metro station you have to walk 15-20 min to laoximen illi yuyuan garden (line 10)

    Great hotel in good location with great views”

    The view, clean and great value

    I got a great room on the 18th floor witha view right up The Bund. The staff spoke more English than I expected and were friendly and helpful. The room was a good size, well appointed and has air con. The hotel is set back from the river, across a road. Not all rooms would have views. It is at the end of the several km pedestrian boulevard all the way up The Bund - easy walking and close to the Shanghai Ferry. The Fabric Market and Yu Gardens are close by. The nearest Metro is about a km or so walk but still convenient. There is no pool but a great gym and billiards table. A great value place to stay in Shanghai

    Very nice hotel in a great location. Great price.”

    15 minute walk to the Bund on river walkway. Staff is great. Excellent breakfast buffet reasonably priced. Recommend river view room for fantastic view.
    Restaurant could have a more extensive regular menu.

    The price for value is excellent. The room I had on the 11th floor overlooking the river, the Bund, and Pudong was clean, modern and very enjoyable. Internet service was 2mb and they supply the ethernet cable. Easy 15 minute walk on the elevated river walk way to the Bund and 30-40 minute walk to People's Square up historic Nanjing street. Quick taxi ride to Pudong as the hotel is close to one of the tunnels between Pudong and Shanghai.

    Very good stay while visiting the Expo ”

    Walking distance to old town, possible to walk to the Bund; nice view from the rooms; nice new hotel;
    Hard mattress

    We stayed with our family with 2 teenagers for 3 nights in the hotel and visited the Expo and the city. We had one room with queen bed, and a twin room on the 12th floor with riverview. The bathrooms had nice big showers but no bath, exactly what we like. The hotel was comfortable and very clean. Breakfast had a reasonable choice of western and asian dishes, and was attractively presented, price 58 Yuan. Breakfast is until 10 am, but they clear at around 10.30. The porters arranged taxis for us and explained where we wanted to go. We enjoyed our walk to the old town and Yu Yuen garden, which are really close by. One evening we had dinner at the Bund and walked back to the hotel, a bit of a stroll but you can see the hotel from far away so no risk of getting lost.

    clean room, good location, value for money

    I would definitely recommend this hotel, one of the best deals in Shanghai. The sign is a bit hard to find and it's located just behind a post office so I don't think it gets too much traffic but it's a GREAT deal for it's ideal location directly on the south bund, just 5-10 minutes walk to central bund and lots of great parks. I would recommend this place for all types of travelers: business, family, groups, etc.

    I enjoyed staying at the Riverview on the Bund especially because of the location. You are pretty close to Nanjing Lu, the pedestrian walk with lots of shops. At night, you can have a very special view of Shanghai and a walk on the Bund is something you shouldn't lose. The staff is friendly, the rooms are nice. Very clean! I would recommend it.

    location, food, room service

    This hotel is located in the heart of the Bund - one of the main areas for tourists to visit in Shanghai. There is shopping a plenty, as well as restaurants and bars. It is only a few moments walk from some beautiful Chinese gardens, as well as the eye catching glow of the Bund riverbank skyline. The hotel has a restaurant in site as well as delicious food available as room service. There is a business center with internet and printing, as well as a billiards room for guests to use freely.

    Great location, opulent hotel”

    Caught taxi from Shanghai Pudong Airport to hotel for about 230CNY arriving around midnight (tip: always print out the hotel address in Chinese so you can give to taxi driver). Check in was smooth, room was clean and good location. We got up early the next morning and went for a walk along the bund - probably a 10 minute walk to the river, then another 20 minutes along the river to the European buildings and the best photo spots. Can't comment too much more on things around the hotel as we were checked out by 6:30am the next morning. Overall, would recommend and stay again.

    Great Location. Good Price.”

    Comfortable walking distance to old Shanghai and the Bund, clean and comfortable room

    I was apprehensive after reading some of the comments online, but was pleasantly surprised it was almost the opposite of all the negative reviews given. Room is spacious, clean and comfortable, and the room price is value for money. The front desk staff can converse in a little English, and the concierge is very helpful and informative. It is located at a comfortable 15 mins walk to old Shanghai, and the same time to the Bund. The MRT stop (Xiaomanmen) is just about 10mins walk. Authentic breakfast, lunch or dinner are available everywhere around the hotel.

    Close to the edge of the Bund”

    It is a decent hotel overall. The hotel is located on the edge of the Bund and there's Indigo Hotel right in front of the hotel. It is good half an hour walk from the beginning of the Bund, though. I don't mind walking but if you travel in hot or cold weather this is definitely something that you need to consider. (and it is too close to take a cab but a little bit far to walk all the way down from East Nanjing Road or Waitan 18) There was a stain on my pillow.. I only needed a single pillow and it did not matter to me, however, if you are sensitive at bedding condition you might need to think about it.

    Very tidy rooms, well trained staff

    i stayed 1 night in the riverview hotel, although i didn't get much view of the bund from my window but the room were very tidy and comfortable. the staff were well trained and helpful! it was a bit of a walk from where all the actions are and it would be much better if wifi was avaliable in the room or the lobby but i think it was a very pleasant stay overall.

    Lovely room with great view”

    Very clean and new room. Good view.

    the riverview hotel is located in the south bund, which is a little bit of a walk from the real 'action' part of the bund. my room still had a great view. the room was a bit smaller than i expected, but it was very clean and modern. the mattress was a bit hard. although i didn't mind this, by my 5th night, the sides of my hip were starting to hurt from this. the staff were very helpful. unfortunately the closest metro station is 15-20 minutes walk, which may not be very convenient.

    taxidrivers have a hard time finding hotel because it's set back from te road, bad internetconnection

    Very nice hotel, spotlessly clean, staff friendly and, after the expo, speak quite understandable english. Reasonable view of the river. Rooms are not the biggest but well furnished, free internet (not very good and apparently the chinese internet closes at night). An amazing array of complimentary combs, toothbrushes, q-tips soaps, lotions and shampoos on the washing basin which is, curiously, located outside and next to the bathroom. A five minute walk will take you to the "Old town" with Yuyuan gardens. The Bund is also close by. Subway is not close but taxi's are very cheap, just make sure you take a hotelcard with the chinese address

    Awesome value!”

    The hotel is very well located in the bund area and so worth the money. It was spotless clean and the people at the front desk were very attentive. English can be limited but nothing that your cellphone translator won't fix :) HOWEVER, beware that all beds are Chinese style - hard! We just requested 3 quilts and slept well as the pillows were amazing. The facilities were a bit disappointing at we stayed there because they had an entertainment center open until 2am (stated on their book). We came back from a NYE party at 0:45 and KTV and pool tables were closed. Other than that, super cheap price for the area and level of comfort.

    Great hotel with excellent service”

    Rooms facing the River give impressive views of buildings like Pearl Tower and the many cruise vessels that sail up and down the River in the evenings.

    The room we occupied was very comfortable. However the Management can be more generous with the daily issuance of coffee/tea bags. We were given daily only two coffee and tea sachets. The bath towels issued daily were not really dry (but they were clean). There were problems getting to the Hotel as the road leading to the Hotel lacked good directional signboards. It would be good if the Hotel name can be displayed in big bold signboards for all to see. But there are positives about this Hotel. It is within walking distance to the Cruise Centre, to the Bund and to the Gardens.

    Elegant Hotel with very good breakfast ”

    Huge Room

    This 5 star hotel is good value for money ; The room was large with the room smelling good ; Breakfast is relatively cheap and good ; however it is a good 15-20 minute walk from Nanjing Road (which is a hub of shopping ) and the main Bund area ; hence the only negative thing about this hotel is that you need a taxi to go to Nanjing Road and main Bund area ; Overall I would rate the hotel as 'Very Good" ;

    Rooms size, location and service
    I can say that this hotel have any weaknesses.

    the hotel is located across the bund. it is very easy to cross the river with the ferry - the ferry stop is at 200 m. from the hotel. also, the location is very nice. if you would like to go to the hotel from pudong ia, you have to take airbus no.5 and to get off at the people square. from there to the hotel the taxi( this is the minimal fare in shanghai). the rooms ar every clean and comfortable - normal size, not to small at all, but not to big. the service is very good. the staff is speaking very good english - i recommend this hotel to all travellers, who want to discover a shanghai. i like it.
