Manhattan Bund Business Hotel Sciangai

ottimo hotel, comodissimo perchè in pieno centro a 2 minuti dal Bund e dalla via dello shopping Nanjing Road East, nonchè a pochi minuti dalla corrispndente efrmata del metro.La stanza da me scelta era standard senza finestra perchè volevo spendere poco. La stanza è carina però me la son dovuta far cambiare subito perchè la prima era infestata dalle […] zanzare e, non essendocci finestra, era un grosso problema.Quindi vi consiglio di guardare BENE il soffitto bianco della camera e del bagno perchè nella mia c'erano decine di zanzare e, anche uccidendone un po', ne arrivavano sempre di più non so se dal condotto dell'aria.Mi hanno subito cambiato la stanza e quella nuova era perfetta.

sono arrivata e dopo che mi hanno dato la camera sono andata via subito, sporco, vecchio, camera piccola, bagno che e' meglio non spiegare... prezzo basso ecco perche' cosi poco a shanghai.

Actual conditions of the hotel and rooms are below expectations in comparison to posted photographs and stated Star-rating. The room we were given showed its age and wear and tear, although its cleanliness was acceptable. The smell of disinfectant in the corridors from my room to the elevator was suffocating. Reception staff was helpful only to a point. […] Room has WiFi but reception was poor and sporadic. Room lighting was dim and discouraged reading. Hotel location was excellent, being only 2 minutes walk from The Bund, but the surrounding streets were tired and dirty. Continua a leggere

2nd time at this hotel - very nice no window = no natural ligth= total darknes need to get used to last day got bed towels - pitty tip: do not use youer credit card for deposit use only RMB

We just stay one night, and for this case I think was a ok hotel. But, I wouldn't stay here for longer. The attendants are rude. The room with no windows and there are mirrors every where. The location of the hotel is good, close to the station and the Bund. But the area around the hotel is not enjoyable.

Good location with the reasonable price, but the kettle was broken and we required to change. The receptionist was giving an excuse and asked us to call and replace tomorrow morning. Anyway, even though this stuff happened to me, still I am willing to recommend the hotel.

This Hotel is a great place to stay as it is central to the heartbeat of Shanghai and the Bund. The room (executive suite) was spacious and clean although the bath did not hold water at all! The breakfast was actually very nice except for the mouldy bread on offer but they were more than happy to get another loaf once I pointed it out. This hotel is […] not suited for those who want breakfast and are in a wheelchair or have a walking disability. There is no lift to the restaurant. You have to walk up a flight of stairs to get there. Don't be put off by the fact the hotel entrance seems to be down a dimly lit, seemly abandoned street. I never once felt unsafe and everything is only a hop, step and jump away. The only downside I found to the hotel was that the staff spoken almost NO ENGLISH. This made life hard when wanting to know or book a tourist attraction or in getting directions to somewhere. I found Google and Google maps to be my best friend. The hotel claims to have fast internet connections, but I had a lot of trouble using their connections. I constantly dropped out which was hard as I was on business and spent many hours trying to send emails, which would have taken minutes on a proper system. The bed was comfy and the heating in the room great. TV was terrible though, but I guess who has time to watch it, in-between work and sightseeing. There was no view from my room in fact the glass window had been frosted over so I couldn't see out. My room was facing the Bund but because of the other tall buildings nearby there was no view. Take a taxi if you have a ways to travel. It's cheap however I found drivers often get you close to where you want to go but not to where you want to go. I had a few who dropped me off and pointed the direction I had to walk to get to where I actually wanted to go. A few times I couldn't find where I wanted to go as I was skeptical about walking into areas that didn't look like a touristy area. A taxi to the PuDong airport shouldn Continua a leggere

we stayed here for two nights and the hotel receptionists were very rude, they couldn't care less if you had any problems, we changed rooms 2 times because the first time the bed was circular ( not big enough for two people to sleep on) and the 2nd room smelt like someone was blowing their cigarette in your face and the room we stayed in was very small […] and in my opinion, you get better 2 star hotels for half the price. The only thing that was good about this hotel was that it is not too far from the river, the bund and nanjing road. So all in all, i was dissapointed. Continua a leggere

I booked an executive suite, which was very much worth the price (about 50 Euro). The first suite, that was presented to me, did have a certain odeur (room probably not used for a while). I wanted to see an other suite and the next one was good. The interior decorating is also very special, really different from other hotels. I liked it. Actually […] extended my stay there from one to two weeks. If you can handle the frosted windows, at least the suites are good. Be prepared to ask for an other room though. Continua a leggere

The only good thing is the location and the round bed and mirror on the ceiling. Not clean and bad smell.

The hotel was value for money. Quick check in. Service by conceirge was excellent, willing to help at all times. Location was very good, near to the Bund, Nanjing Street and metro station, all within 5 mins walk. Recommended!

The location of the hotel is really good. It close to metro station and serveral attractions. The price is good but the room I stayed is kinda small. The only thing I don't like is the fixed window.

The hotel is so conveniently situated being only about 100 metres from The Bund. The modern shopping area of the Nanjing Road East and Metro is only a 10 minute walk. The Metro system is easy to use and very efficient and clean. After visiting the Old part of Shanghai and the back streets we found that the prices of goods dropped dramatically and was […] more in tune with authentic China. A must is the Yuyuan Gardens. Simply beautiful. We spent 4 nights in Shanghai but feel 3 nights would have been ample. Continua a leggere

The location is very good.

only benefit of this hotel is its close location to the bund and Nanjing east street. Other than that this hotel could be given a miss. For those who are thinking of booking the room with window, forget it. There is NO window at all, even though the charges were higher. Facilities like Sauna, Jazzuzi were also absent, even though it was listed as present […] on hotes.com website. The most irritating that was the air-conditioning. The rooms had no windows, and the air conditioning failed to work properly. We had to inform the staff 4 times before they were willing to take a look. We checked out after day 4 to visit Suzhou and intended to check in again after returninf from Suzhou, and we crossed our fingers and prayed we will not get the same room. We got an adjacent room, but there was a problem with the air conditoning again. Again we went to complain to the hotel staff, who were non-chalent in their replies, saying that "we have to accept what it is". And none of them bothered to come up to our room and experience the heat. Its ridiculous, and frankly speaking, sleeping along the corridor was cooler than sleeping in the room Continua a leggere

Good location very near to the Bund, a sightseeing spot. Just about 1 minute from the corner of Peach hotel and in front of the Bund laser tunnel. Staffs is very good and all of them can speak English. You can ask them call a taxi to go anywhere you want or help you to plan your destination. Train ticket office is not far from the hotel. It has family […] mart and local store on the back of hotel, also some chinese restaurant and no expensive. But the room is small as I expected but clean. If you are just come for sleeping at night and in a day you go somewhere else. I think it's nothing to be concerned. Continua a leggere

The room is clean and tidy. Location is good and it takes only 5-10 mins walk to metro station. Photo in the website are not updated. My room is on the 3/F and the decoration is new and fine.

Thanks!

Don't be fooled by pics on profile, this hotel hasn't seen an update for at least 15 years. And the upgrades are thrown togethers. Bathroom was basically two walls tacked on in the corner and was more like echo chamber. Towels were very worn and I think the bed was made from Chinese hard wood. Internet is nothing you'd expect from a "business" hotel. […] You wont be doing any work from this hotel. Connection drops even with a hard wire attach. WiFi is worse. If you're looking for cheap, you'll get what you pay for. The location is very close to the action, but off a side street so cabs may find it hard to find.... but it cuts down on the street noise. Maid was nice but other hotel staff are very hands off. My advice is spend the extra bucks and stay somewhere else. You'll get a bed, don't expect much more. Continua a leggere

The best feature of this hotel is its location so close to the Bund, the pedestrian tunnel and pedestrian street. The hallways looked very dated, our room seemed to be up-dated with a modern bathroom (shower only) and nice complimentary items. The room was very spacious but had no windows. The surrounding neighbourhood was not very comfortable to walk, […] but the location made up for this. Hotel staff was very attentive and requests were attended to immediately. For a short stay sight-seeing I would recommend this hotel. I cannot comment on the food because we did not eat in. Continua a leggere

super nice location; clean room; good price. room is small.

pretty standard clean little place would reccomend

I had a deluxe room, dont expect too much, you almost could not see through the window but ok as you were looking in to a concrete wall anyway. a little bit aquard with the glas door to the toilet. good internet and big TV. nice bed, and international power plugs at each side.

Though the outside appearance is not good, it is very well located for the river and subway and shopping. Price was good and service friendly and prompt. They turned OFF the airconditioning in the middle of the night each night we stayed, which caused us to wake up warm and humid. Otherwise, we would stay again due to location and price!

I guess you get what you pay for. it was inexpensive, fairly clean and close to sights, metro, restaurants, etc. the hotel is a bit shabby and hasn't been updated in years. the staff is quite sullen and absolutely unwilling to help you with anything. But, we had a good time in Shanghai and this is a good location. There's nothing special about the place […] other than its clean, quiet, and no frills. I'd stay there again if only for those reasons. Continua a leggere

near to metro, shopping and sightseeing.. muslim food just in front of the hotel. definitely will stay here again..

The hotel is just a few mins away from the busiest street in Shanghai - Nanjing Rd. That's the best thing about the hotel. We stayed for three nights in a Deluxe room on the top floor. The room was ok, a large (but hard) bed, tv with some english channels, small bathroom. The only weird thing was the window, which sort of had a glass/wooden wall in […] front of it, so you couldn't really take a look out from the room. I'm guessing it's because the window was facing something not so nice. The surrounding neighborhood is not that bad, the street vendors are quite annoying and some of the sidewalks are small if you're trying to pull your suitcase towards the hotel. But other than that it's ok and it is indeed very close to the big nice street and to the metro station. We had breakfast there once and it was quite bad. We ordered toast and cappuccino; the toast was served with butter and jam - I found a small piece of glass in my jam! The lady that works in the tiny bar doesn't really speak english so it's hard to communicate about the breakfast choices. Wi-fi was available for free, which we really appreciated, although it was somewhat slow. In summary, it's a really good hotel if you intend to only sleep there and spend your time somewhere else.

Have staying here several times this year, it was all good!

close to most must see sights, excellent breakfast. But room very small, no fridge, impossible to open window for a bit of fresh air which would be welcome...

Hotel was in a great location-3 blocks from NANJING ROAD and metro station. It was also close to convient stores and restraunts. I would definitely stay there again

If you are just going to sleep and have a shower in this hotel, it's a good choice. The location is excellent and the lobby is quite attractive. The fancy pictures don't tell the reality about the rooms, they are dark and smell weird. It's kind of awkward that the shower and the toilet seat can be seen trough the window when you're lying on the bed. […] We stayded in an "elegant room". But for this price, I guess you can't have very high expectations. Continua a leggere

We arrived at 3am and checked into the hotel although our reservation was for the next day. For this premature check in we paid a 4 hr charge which was agreeable. The location is very good and we could practically walked to most destinations. The front desk staff was okay in answering most questions but the hotel could not provide us with a city map. […] We walked to another hotel to get one. The housekeeping staff was efficient and attend to all complaints pro mptly and cheerfully.The room is small but compactwith all the necessaries. They provide a computer on every floor but the one on our floor was not working. One grouse is the very slow speed. All in all it is value for money. Continua a leggere

Good location --- very average hotel. Old and desperately in need of refresh and remodel,,, Tiny bathroom-- carpets stained. if you need something near the Bund on the cheap--- this might be your place. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Great location, great hotel, only problem was the air conditioner can not cool down the room. And we were in there in Oct.

This review is about the Manhattan Business Hotel on Dianchi Road, just off the Bund, behind the famous Fairmount Peace Hotel. It was clean; my roon was updated with nice desk and shower. Location is close to Nanjing walking street and subway. One can take subway Line 2 from Pudong Airport direct to East Nanjing Road station; use exit 7 and walk a few […] blocks east on Nanjing Road (Nan Jing Dong Lu) almost to Bund, then at Silk King (Si Chuan Zhong Lu) go north one block to Dianchi Road and a few steps east to hotel. On Google map on October 2011, the hotel is located just east of "China Construction Bank." Reverse route and take Line 2 one stop to Pudong financial district. There are several restaurants nearby, from low to high end. For breakfast, try the street seller of flat bun with fried egg, one-half block away. China Mobile is close in case you need a phone or SIM card. Bank of China is around the corner to cash travelers checks. Hotel front desk staff is friendly, facilities are updated, location is great -- I'll definitely stay here again. Continua a leggere

Had a very nice stay at this hotel, the concierge was very helpful and always ready to assist us especially since there is language barrier. The Bund is just around the corner so if you are too tired or just alone, you can still enjoy a little sightseeing without any effort... Nanjing road and lots of restos and food shops are all just around the vicinity, […] and the subway stop, East Nanjing station, is about 5-10 mins walk towards Nanjing Road, so going to places like Yuyuan garden, Xintiandi, and the railway stations are so easy. The only thing that might be an issue is the size of the room so better book the Deluxe Room if you want ample space. Otherwise the standard twin rooms are ok for medium-built people. Also, they don't have a proper resto inside. They only have a sitting area in the lobby where you can have a snack or drink but no buffet-style dining. What is special about this hotel is that it has a vintage feel and for us that is a treat. Also it is at the back of the legendary Peace Hotel so lots of tourists about. All in all, for its low price, this hotel is highly recommended. Will definitely go back. Continua a leggere

Great place to stay if you want to be close to The Bund and near a Subway station without having to book some overkill high rise. Free Wi-Fi, currency exchange, bottled water. While some say the rooms were small, I found the King Suite to be perfect with the size. It was big enough for a bed, desk, closet and nightstands. Bathroom was very clean with […] real toilets along with reliable hot water for a shower. One note, because it's a modern theme, the wall and door are mostly glass and mirror which makes it interesting for guests over. One bad note. The doors are thin! You'll hear everything from people talking to the cleaners at 8am. Continua a leggere

Hotel is located at a convenient area, close to taxis, subway and shops. Staff is pleasant and helpful. It tries to have a theme, which is pleasant. However, rooms are very small and dark - there is no windows and lighting is lacking. It can be good if you just want to have to have a place to sleep for a couple of nights.

incredibly close to The Bund but with non-Bund rates!!!! inside- a little bit dictator-chic in the styling department, but enough historic elements were left in tact to still be pleasant and pretty. Elevators have tv advertising on the outside while you wait, which I loathe because you can't get away from it- can't ignore it. staff always happy and […] helpful. very easy to get everywhere in the city- busses and subway super close. also easy to navigate on foot because of its close proximity to the Peace hotel and it's lit green roof- can't get lost- if you can see any of the buildings of Pudong, you will find your way back to the green lit roof, and then, back to Manhattan Business. Easy as Pie every time. can walk (a good hike) to both the shanghai Municipal Water museum as well as the Urban Planning museum/People's square in the other direction, or 1 minute to the incredibly beautiful historic Bund. hotel feels like it's on an alley, kind of dark and slightly foreboding, but never once felt unsafe.
