I can only give the stay an moderate to ok rating, as some experiences weren't the best. Firstly the checkin was a bit confusing and caused some stress. The ad description said that someone at the front desk would be there to greet us upon check-in, but leading up to the arrival date i received messages in chinese to add them in Wechat to communicate for more detailed instructions. I did this on but received no reply leading up to the date. So we arrived hoping that there would be someone there but this wasnt the case. We tried calling and contacted Expedia help for assistance which took some time, but around 30-45 mins we eventually got a reply via WeChat and we were able to check in using my wife (who speaks mandarin) to communicate but otherwise this wouldve been difficult. The room and building is a bit tired. We were given diposable bathroom towels only, but they did replenish these and did daily cleaning upon request. the TV works but has a clear line of broken pixels and Free channels were limited. Some descrepencies in the advertising - There is a washing machine, but no dryer, Im not sure where the pool or gym is as i didnt ask, but wouldnt be surprised if this doesnt exist in site or assessable for free. Location is nice with walking distance to the Bund, local shopping centres, and food.

KEEP SCROLLING! DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

Horrible experience. Apparently we didn't get there in their timely manner because they gave our room away. This was after we paid $120 to get there from Pudong airport. Then had to pay an additional $100 to get to the Hongqiao airport after not having a room. DO NOT STAY HERE! Not only was that horrible enough it is a shady set up.

Upper level only enough for sitting...there is sink and a small pantry..but very small for cooking..even for 1 stove. Over all room only enough for 4 people including upper short level...not for 5 or 6.. no space for opening luggages if for 5 or 6 peoples.

give it a pass !!

i don't normally write reviews, but this was one of a kind, the reception was on 12 floor in some dingy room & the room i was given was on 10 floor (if I remember correctly)
The room was ok, but I would not use this place again.
The pictures on the internet are deceptive, of what you will actually get !
I think it would be worth about RMB 100 maximum

Nice location but wrong on maps

10mims walk from Hotels.com wrong map direction. It was a nice apartment style hotel with kitchen facilities and clothes washing machine 10 years ago, but it's faded now. Pretty close to the bund, 15mins walk from nearest subway.

Neighborhood Apartment Style Room

This is an apartment building, with various rooms rented out (hotel like). The room was large enough for our family of six. It had a kitchenette, bathroom, comfy futon style bed and a loft for the kids. It was very clean with a nice view. Be prepared to walk...not convenient for cabs. A few grocery stores nearby, which helped! The location is in a neighborhood, walking distance to the Bund-and bus stops. Never really interacted with staff but the bit we did, they were accommodating.

Budget room on North Bund

In the middle of the City on the North Bund we found this room to a discount price. Location was great! Bed very hard and the shower didn't work OK. Part of a hotel that had had better days. But near to everything!

Family stay

We are a family with 2 children aged 12 and 9.

We really enjoyed staying in the apartment. A funky apartment with character. Great views, all day winter sun.

We got sick with food poisoning, and the staff were helpful and understanding, it was a great place to recuperate for a few days.

We will stay here again on our way back to NZ.

Dirty, no service, sleeping on the floor.

This hotel shouldn't be considered a hotel or service apartment. It is a series of apartments scattered in a high-rise building that is also part of another hotel. The building is in dire need of repairs and some cleaning. In order to pick up your room key, you must go down a dingy hallway on the 12th floor to the office, but as soon as you head towards your room the people leave and there is never anyone in the office afterward. Luckily we had a phone and were able to call and make a complaint.
The room was filthy, the bed wasn't a real bed, but rather a 2-inch worn mattress on the mezzanine, basically equivalent to sleeping on the floor. The room was also freezing.
We complained and only then did they say they would clean it, but then offered to change us to another room with a better bed. We took the better room, and the bed was more comfortable, although the room wasn't much cleaner. We decided to stay so as not to lose any money and we also didn't want to waste an entire day looking for a new place to stay. The second room was warmer.
Overall, I think this place was overpriced and I would never stay here again, and would recommend to read the reviews attentively, as I thought people were exaggerating but they really weren't.
Good location however, close to the Bund, but nothing in the immediate area in terms of restaurants or other amenities, and a 10-minute walk to the metro.

Worst Appartment Hotel ever!! Don't even suggest this remove from your Site. Its so horribly maintained. There is no proper reception. There is leakage in Toilets. The amenities in the room don't seem to be cleaned for ages. The Room Stinks . The view from the Room & Location is awesome, its a pathetic apartment hotel.

Good for 3 or more

The apartment was fairly convenient (when the description says overlooking the Bund - it means you can see the Bund from your window). Air conditioning and phone didn't work; luckily we didn't really need them in May. If you book this hotel, make sure you print the name and address of it in Chinese as the taxi drivers cannot understand the English version. I made the mistake of printing my Hotels.com confirmation to use. We ended up taking 2 taxis to get there from the airport because the first taxi driver called Mayson and was directed to the wrong apartment building owned by the same company.

Shanghai experience

Loved seeing the sites along the way- 40 kilometers from the airport~ Rather quiet there and no microwave or utensils i.e. coffee cups, dishes spoons, etc. although there was a fridge and one electric warmer with pan. The hallways smelled of urine--rather musty. Other than that, friendly people and very roomy--(room with loft)!

Great location but not for all

This is NOT a hotel but a private apartment (one of several) with no visible Reception unless you know to go to12th floor. That took time! Taxis can't find place but it is obvious when you know it is called Peninsula International Centre on corner of Wusong Rd. There are 3 businesses in this highrise, a 4th if you include the many Vietnames call girls.

Travelling with my brother, I needed 2 separate beds so had to book Expedia choice with 4 beds - really only 2 shockingly uncomfortable Queen beds in open space, one reached by stairs on a platform above. Doona was single size. No privacy & definitely not suitable for families unless a trundle or 2 are added. But no room to move then. There are only 2 rooms - the bathroom has a door and the big open space with high ceiling and loft bed.

Images are deceiving re size. Chair covers washed but not ironed. Single hotplate with one saucepan. No teatowel or sponge etc. Shower difficult to operate. HWS turned off - so cold showers till I realised the problem. Service was emptying 2 waste bins & replacing shampoo - not obvious over 5 days that anything else had been done. Stepped into apartment over filthy, smelly, carpet in corridor.

Would have stayed 3 more nights because of location but tariff offered was more. I stayed 5 wks in Shanghai, in various accommodation & this wasn't by any means the worst. Some things you learn to tolerate - bad plumbing, smoke,smells,hard beds.

But the view & lights from 18th floor - spectacular!

Good value, shame about the first impression

the Shanghai Bund Serviced Apartments are situated with striking views of the Bund and Pudong skyline, and the design of the apartments is spacious and pleasing. the building entrance, lift well and foyer are all very dirty and give a bad first impression to what is actually a nice apartment. the train station is about a fifteen minute walk from the apartment and the walk to the Bund area is very pleasant.

Weird managment

We were at the address however unable to spot where were Mayson Shanghai Bund Serviced Apartment. There were no signage or any direction outside. Turn out the \"apartment\" is kind of outsourced and the rooms are part of the Heng sheng Peninsula international hotel which where the address will bring you to. It felt weird as the lobby was dark with no one at all, i had to call and re-enter from different doors and ask around before i get directed to go straight to the 12th floor.. The \"reception\" was in a room which also acts like a store room with 2 ladies. i was led to my room, rather spacious but very disappointing as it looks nothing like the pictures. it was dark, not clean and alittle run down. The sofas had stains and they use another set of cloth to cover it (which also had stains!) the kettle and pot had rust and had a layer of oil when i tried to boil water. Totally turn off. place was kind of dirty, there were hair, dust on the floor and even left over noodles bits in the sink.. one of the lamp switch was broken and i nearly had a electricity shock. the place kind of grew on me as i tried to clean up but i still didnt extend as i wanted to initially as i still wasnt uncomfortable in the end..

Mayson bund

Defiantly recommend staying here. Free internet, quirky style and good service were appreciated. However I would warn you, one or two bugs around (not the biting type thankfully!) and while it is close to the bund, it's not too close to anything particularly interesting.

Pool was out of service when we were there (Sept '11).

As with other reviewers, we found it a little difficult to find. Reception is room 1211 as far as I remember. Take the lift in the apartment lobby (adjacent to the hotel lobby) to the 12th floor.

Apartment with bad service.

This apartment is without properly serviced and was dirty. There is not reception, the building isn't marked, so it was difficult to find it (taxi driver called the phone number, don't forget it, without it you can't find it). But it's advantage is that it is really near to center and it is cheap.

走進外灘確實很近，但酒店其實很偏僻！附近有很多便利店，還算方便。設施還算完善，但都很舊。

我的房間看不到外灘，價格和品質與服務不相符，還是太貴了，早知道給貴點住好點。但真的很適合一家人住⋯空調可以24小時啟動，很適合夏天去住，一回酒店就很涼快。床很舊，搞的我都皮膚過敏了。

En besvikelse

Rummet var en stor besvikelse! Mycket, mycket smutsigt och ofräscht! \"Receptionen\" bestod av ett fullbelamrat skrivbord i en av lägenheterna,som för övrigt var full av skräp och bråte. \"Två Queensize-sängar\" visade sig bestå av en stenhård säng och en 8 cm tjock madrass direkt på golvet. En teve som inte fungerade, dvd fanns inte alls. Pentryt, kylskåp, mikro,husgeråd och gardiner var så fulla av fett och smuts att man inte ville vidröra dem.Spishäll fanns inte alls. Toaletten blev det stopp i vid första användningen, \"regnduschen\" kunde man inte fästa på väggen, handfatets kran sprutade över hela badrummet. Balkong fanns inte. Lägenheten hade dock en mycket bra planlösning, och har nog varit riktigt fräsch en gång. Med lite renovering och bättre städning skulle vi nog kunna bo där igen. Läget var bra. Nära till centrum och man kunde äta mycket billigt nära hotellet.

Terrible experience

The hotel is dirty and completely different from the picture on internet. Reception is in a crappy super small apartment at 12 floor of a stinky and dirty building and it is often closed. Personells do not speak English and hotel does not provide any service, not even daily room housekeeping. Rooms are small and dirty and my experience was terrible. In the reservation I asked for baby cot for my 1year old son but when arrived they said they do not have. Unfortunately my booking was prepaid so I had to stay there in order to do not loose all my money but seriously the hotel is terrible and location - even if is only 15min walking from the bund - is not nice because the area is really dirty with nothing there.

Book ALDRIG dette sted.

Dette \"hotel\" burde ikke være en del af Hotels.com da det nærmere var et slidt vandrehjem. Selv 1 stjerne ville være for meget. Taxi chaufføren måtte ringe 2 gange til centralen for at finde bygningen. Den såkaldte reception var RIGTIG GODT GEMT på 12 etage (husk ikke at benytte den synlige elevator, for den fører nemlig IKKE derop) i en lejlighed som vi ikke så åben mere end til nøgle udlevering. Man kan sige om lejligheden at den er rummelig. Stolene var stort set uden polstring, men til gengæld havde de et stort hul hvor hovedpuden kunne ligges ned i, så de var nogenlunde til at holde ud at sidde i. Madrassen var ubeskrivelig hård. Det var ikke andet end et vattæppe. Bruse rummet var ulækkert. Der kom dog vand ud af bruseren - koldt. Hvis man ikke er sart, er der en plettet og godt slidt sofa at sidde og se fjernsyn i. Der er et slidt te-køkken. Lejligheden var en møg afslutning på en fantastisk dejlig tur.

Nära, bekvämt och lite äckligt

För den som inte tänkt spendera mycket tid på hotellet är detta perfekt. Lobbyn ligger som vi visste upp några våningar i ett rum bland alla appartments. Där inne sov \"receptionisten\" i sin säng när vi kom mitt i natten för att checka in. Smidigt att det på så vis alltid var bemannat (även om hon var lite svårväckt). På kvällarna är huvudentrén låst och man får gå in bakvägen med kod, vilket krånglade till det lite eftersom vi inte kunde koden. Men vi lyckades hitta en sovande vakt i en vaktkur som efter lite om och men släppte in oss.
