The architectural significance and historical importance of the hotel made this a unique venue. The professionalism of the staff was exceptional and breakfast was a delight.

Mark China

In my experience rarely does a 5 Star hotel exceed expectations. The Waldorf is truly an exceptional hotel and manages to deliver an experience that matches its renowned history. The panoramic river views are second to none, service and food are outstanding and the staff go the extra mile. When we return to Shanghai we will not consider any other hotel.

Mark China

Super location and bar, big thanks to vitamine the bartender for his excellent drinks

Frederick United Kingdom

Excellent service in good English and great location! The room itself was great with a perfect view, comfortable bed and all was just great!

Giuseppe China

Great location with spacious room and very comfortable bed. You can walk through the old building and there is a door that opens to the bund. The old building has a lot of history and the 2/F Civic Hall is a great venue for executive meetings and events.

Yali United States of America

Everything was beautiful. The staff were exceptionally helpful. Truly an amazing view of the Bund, the Oriental Pearl, the Hungpu River and all of Pudong! And so close to “Lost Heaven” restaurant which was delicious twice as was the gelato we had for dessert at DeMeduci right beside it.

Rebecca United Kingdom

With the current covid 19 situation in China making the locals hostile towards foreigners, the stuff at the hotel were amazing throughout and the room was very beautiful.

Lini South Africa

The breakfast was amazing. The staff was friendly and welcoming. When I had an issue with my coffee maker, they quickly replaced it. The room and the bed were very comfortable. I would recommend the hotel to others.

Laurene Canada

The hotel is in great location and it certainly pays to get a room with the view, as it is fantastic. The staff are very friendly and incredibly helpful. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. The bed is soft and nice too.
