Salvo Hotel Shanghai Sciangai

Very good price for 4 nights, view on the Bund from 22nd floor, PC and ADSL access in the room. Do not follow the info of reception: they were oftwn wrong (didn't write to the taxi driver the correct chinese name of a restaurant and makert we were looking for). Metro (nanjing rd, line 2) is only 10min, but try to use taxi which are very cheap overall […] in China. From airport you can take Maglev (50RMB) + taxi (50RMB) otherwise the tarif from Pudong is about 200RMB. Continua a leggere

The Room was big and clean , the view was good whereby you can see the city and the bund .Hotel Staff were friendly n helpful . The Hotel is Just 10 min away from the busy Nanjing Road n also to the Bund .Also there is a metro station along Nanjing Road opposite 353 […] Shopping Mall. Continua a leggere

This is a good value hotel for what you are paying for. It is close to The Bund and People's Square so it depends what you want. Most attractions are a taxi ride but at a couple of $'s each taxi ride it is not unreasonable. The king business rooms are large, bedroom and lounge with a good bathroom with bath and shower. The Conceirge is excellent . We […] used the business centre to get some train tickets and it was effortless. The buffet breakfast is average. The waiter standing in the middle of the restaurant biting his nails as he stared into space was a bit of a put off...but hey...wait until you experience the Republics public toilets !

The appearance of the breakfast was unappetizing. There were overcooked eggs and rotten bananas on display. the coffee was cold, the omellettes were oily and the service was not very good.

Stayed two nights at the Hotel. Overall, the stay was pleasant. Room was big but quite old. TV is CRT (not LCD). View from room was good minus the dirty window. Better view from buffet restaurant on 31st floor. Wifi available in lobby and breakfast area.

Great location -- walk to the Bund and Yu Gardens. Traditional Asian decor in room; large room (we were in a suite of some sort). Breakfast was only so-so but free! Great value for the money; would stay at again!

This Hotel exceeded my expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The room was very spacious, clean and had every amenitiy I needed (including an umbrella which came in handy). The staff were friendly and usually helpful, and the location was very good with about 10 minutes walk to the Bund and slightly further to the Peoples Square. The Breakfast […] was good although I found the hot dishes to be luke warm at best, As mentioned in previous reviews there is no wifi but my room was provided with a computer which was fine to access emails etc, yes it was slow but after speaking to some people who have lived in Shanghai the slow speed of the internet is normal here. For the amount of money I paid I was very satisfied with my stay and would not hesitate in staying here again if I was in Shanghai. Continua a leggere

We were very surprised and happy to walk into the Salvo Hotel lobby and be welcomed by the staff. Our room was excellent. We spent four wonderful days and found the hotel to be an incredible value and in a great location.

I really love this hotel and every time I'm in shanghai I try to stay there. I always get a business executive room as they are really comfortable. The only down side is the lack of english channels (apart from news) on the tv.

Very few changes in breakfast menu on a day-to-day basis, Also, mostly 60's music played in the dining room.

Exceeded my expectations of offering for the cost of the rooms and the location is very close to major sites. I'll be back!

This hotel is at a great location, right in the middle of Everything you could want to see! About 5 minutes walk to the bund, 15 minutes walk to the old city and 15 minutes walk to Nanjing Road! We even got a free voucher for the breakfast, which was also good with bacon, eggs and everything else you can come to expect (although could have been a bit […] more fruit). The view over the Bund is amazing. Continua a leggere

Very good location for most things and within walking distance for many. Older style Hotel but very comfy and with all comforts and wifi in rooms. Staff very helpful, and food in both restaurants good with average prices. Would stay here again, and recommend as a good all-round base.

Big rooms, but office area/couch area is pretty useless because there are no windows, so to dark. Facilities OK. Breakfast only OK. Service is fine though. I prefer more modern look and hotels a bit north of this location. Price compared to value is soso - I stayed at the Baron Business HOtel and Manhantten, which are way cheaper, and only slightly […] worse... But if you value English speaking staff, heavy style furniture you might be happy with this place and location is OK too. Continua a leggere

We had a cheap executive suite for 3 days. The room is spacious, the bed comfortable and the view great. Local area is interesting with some nice, cheap restaurants and it's not too far to walk to the metro and East Nanjing Road. The furnishings are an awkward mix of Ming and modern. Breakfast buffet was OK but food sometimes cold.

Tyhis hotel is so cheesey inside I can't stand it. The only real positive thing I can say is the location was good.. Walking distance to the bund, and people's square and E Najin Rd (Subway). So if you are on;y getting a place to sleep and don't plan on spending any real time in your room I guess you can do it. I stay in Shanghai a lot and have several […] places I would stay before this one. Continua a leggere

My room was a little musty but my travel companions wasn't. I should have asked for an alternate. Great location for a great price. Limited to no wifi -- only hard wire which doesn't work with iPad. I bought a Chinese router and solved problem $15. Wish I brought one from home.

Great breakfast. Convenient location and good price.

Convenient location. Comfortable beds. The view was magnificent - the entire skyline of Shanghai across to the Bund. As with the hotel in Beijing - the towels are a bit thin and rough. The shower was difficult to operate and the stopper in the tub didn't function but other than that it was very nice. Really nice lobby downstairs and the bar on the 31st […] floor was great at night to watch the lights and relax. Continua a leggere

Luxurious room, excellent location (close to Bund)!

A very convenient hotel within walking distance to the Bund, Nanjing Street and Peoples Square. English is spoken by some staff.

This hotel was close to must-see sights, shopping streets, the Bund and metro stations. Clean rooms and good service, amazing views of the Oriental Pearl. Would definately stay there again if lucky enough to visit Shanghai again in the future.

Some staff very rude, service not good for a so called 4 star - no way near western 4 star. Otherwise, nice room, good location and value for money.

The location is really quite close to The Bund area, only 4-5 blocks away. The neighborhood is quiet, with not a lot going on right around, but things are close enough it is not inconvenient. The room was 2 room suite (bought the upgrade) and it was very spacious for Shanghai with nice setting area and work desk. Bed was comfortable and the breakfast […] has a decent selection of Western food. I would definitely recommend a stay and will stay there again. Continua a leggere

Good location and value.

Location is conveniently located and close to all the tourist attractions. Hotel staff is very friendly. Internet access is free. The only negative is the Hotel is hard to find because of the one way street. You have to go around and around if you do not know the way.

easy access to The Bund, Peoples square, and shopping.

I just stay for 1 night on 18 Aug 11 in a business king suite. The room is really big and the king bed is soft and comfortable. I am impressed by the branded "Grohe shower system", gives me a wonderful time bathing. The room decor is oriental, so is everywhere in the hotel. My stay is peaceful and quiet, unlike other hotels where they can be noisy. […] I paid a really economical price for it. The room furnishings smell a bit stale though, but it's ok to me as I am out sightseeing most of the time. Location wise, it is great as it is very close to The Bund and Nanjing Road Shopping Street. The free breakfast at 31st floor is of average quality in terms of variety and taste. Great view though. The hotel staff I met are generally helpful and cheerful. Just beware of the pimps and callgirls that stakeout at night at the hotel entrance, pestering you non-stop once they target you. Just ignore them and walk away. Don't reply them, don't be angry with them. Overall, I think it is a value for money good hotel for any kind of travellers. Continua a leggere

The rooms we had were executive rooms, large well kitted out, new and spotless all with a great view. Everything worked well, comfortable bed, good breaklfast and helpfull staff. The location is perfect, an easy walk from Nanjing Rd East Metro and good for the Bund. Also easy access to roads to and from the airport.

We stayed at the Salvo Hotel for a total of 9 nights, booked into an Executive King-size Business suite. I was very satisfied with the room which was comfortable and well kitted out with handy little extras like an umbrella and even an adaptor plug! There's an in-room safe and PC - which I was able to connect my laptop to in order to go online. The […] bathroom was slightly cramped but again well kitted out. Cleaning staff were attentive and efficient. Breakfast (included) was basic but there was always a good selection available. Location is very central for sightseeing and close to the metro station. All in all I would recommend. Continua a leggere

This hotel offers a fantastic central location for foreigners. Near metro stations, shopping, YuYuan Gardens. Everything is close enough to walk to. They also have enough staff that speak enough English to help you at all times. Of course be aware that Chinese culture is a little different and staff here are Chinese, so if you are looking for a Western […] style hotel this comes close enough but my not have absolutely every amenity that you want. However, that said, it's really accommodating in all the ways that you need. The breakfast spread is great with both western options and some local food too. They will even negotiate with a taxi driver if you want them too. (I've never seen a driver that speaks any English more than one or two words.) I was definitely satisfied with the hotel, service and will be back again. Continua a leggere

First trip to China. Surprisingly great hotel; spacious room, amenities, service — and a great buffet breakfast — all for a reasonable price. Within walking distance of the Bund, accessible by MagLev and metro from airport. Inexpensive taxis and metro. Friendly people. Only negative: Shanghai in July ... prepare to sweat, if you can breathe through […] the smog. Continua a leggere

The knowledge of English at the reception desk could have been better. The staff had some problems in understanding and answering my requests and questions. The "western" breakfast was not very good for beeing at a four star restaurant. The boiled eggs were green, the cheese was uneatable and the selection of "western" items/food was quite limited.

Overall it's a pretty good hotel, but personally I would give it a 3.5 star instead of 4 as it claimed. Hotel food and services (e.g. massages) are on the expensive side. Service at the Western restaurant was not remarkable, as consistent with most of the restaurant services in Shanghai. The hotel is convenient, close to all amenities. The down side […] is that people are allowed to smoke in restaurants and even on non-smoking floors. Continua a leggere

I took the Business Executive Suite for litle more than the standard room rates. it was a very large 2 room suite with a very large work area including a computer / monitor they provided. The location is great if you need to be in CBD or near the Bund. Would / will stay there again.

For the amount I payed for this hotel, you can't get a better deal. Great suite, wonderful breakfast and a location 5 minutes from Nanjing Road. I payed double this last year at a crown plaza, and the Salvo is in a much better area and you get a suite. I can't figure out why this is not a 5 star hotel, IT SHOULD BE! I would stay here every time I visit […] Shanghai. You can't go wrong here, not one negative comment. Continua a leggere

Most interesting thing about this hotel: If you arrive late at night (around 1:30am) you will find the lights off, no one in the lobby and the door unlocked! Anyone could walk into this place and take the elevator anywhere in the hotel and no-one would notice!!!

The standard room that was allocated upon arrival was too small and was effectively a single room with two beds and we had to climb over the beds to get to the bathroom because there was no room for luagge or wardrobe space to unpack for two people. However, when we asked for a bigger room we were given a much nicer room with more space which was quite […] adequate for our stay except again a lack of wardrobe space all this came at an additional cost. I would like to add that the staff throughout our stay were absolutely brilliant and everyone one of them very helpful and courtious Continua a leggere

We had been travelling for nine weeks and had experienced nineteen other hotels through the USA and Europe. The level of accomodation provided to us at Salvo was superior to anything else we encountered. We had booked a double room and were provided with a King exec. suite with separate lounge and meeting room, full time free WiFi on their computor, […] two TV's and a full sized separate bathroom including a huge spar tub. The price paid was exceptionally cheap,The restraunt food offered was very ordinary, the only negative was having booked a wake up call for an early departing flight it did not happen. Thankfully we woke ourselves. Continua a leggere

Pros: The location is excellent to The Bund and Nanjing Road. All Executive Deluxe king bed rooms have The Bund view. Staff were helpful and quick in response. Cons: Hotels.com is very poor in providing information regarding the rate/ availability of adding extra bed in hotel room. All Executive Deluxe twin-bed rooms have only city view, but the room […] rate is the same as Executive Deluxe king bed room. The sofa and mattress are too soft. Continua a leggere

it is a good hotel, with convenient location and a very affordable price but it is still not in the European standards of a 4 stars hotel. There are many good hotel in Shanghai and since I did not visit them it is difficult to make a comparison.

location, location, location. The Bund is just to the east and Nanjing Rd is just to the North. The rate for this type of room was amazing. There was even a computer with free internet. It was a bit slow but hey it's FREE. There is local food just right outside the hotel, they don't speak English but just point and order! The food was so yummy and so […] cheap! Will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone! Continua a leggere

we enjoyed our stay here - a little out of the way but still handy. about 3 blocks back from the river and about 5 from the shopping street, which is where the local train is. we felt a bit uncomfortable walking back to hotel at about 9.00 at night but it was pretty safe. didn't select any meals, but we did have free internet which was reliable enough. […] good value for money, but next time we'll spend a bit more and perhaps go closer to the shopping street. (we checked out our 2nd and 3rd choice motels while there and will try one of them next time even though they were a bit dearer they did look alot better). Continua a leggere
