Shanghai Bund Yiwan Hotel

This hotel had a great location within 15min walk to the Bund, great eateries nearby including a range of shops with drinks like milk tea and fruit shops. The hotel is a little dated, the rooms have great space but need some modernisation. There's no lifts but the staff will help you in taking luggage up the stairs. Cleanliness requires abit of improving, there were also no utensils provided for our stay so we weren't able to use the kitchen as we'd liked. For the price its worth the stay.

Value for money accommodation which is highly accessible to food eateries, Nanjing pedestrian street, the bund. Easily accessible from exit 6 of Nanjing East Road Station on Metro Line 2 and 10. Lobby is located at Level 3 and the accommodation does not have lift. If lift is essential for your stay this is a dealbreaker. Staff was helpful to assist with moving luggage up and down for our family. Thank you!

The front desk receptionist are very friendly and helpful. They provide excellent information and help us in getting our attraction booking done, as we don’t have local number👍👍They do managed our luggage well and assist us to bring it down to the exit upon check out👏👏 Excellent room with modern look design, clean, comfortable and spacious enough for a family of 6. Functional fridge and washing machine is a bonus to us, we can do our laundry for our 3 nights stay here. Location is strategic, just 1@2mins walk to metro station. Shop, restaurant and convenient stores just nearby. Definitely will be back again once we have chance 😊😊💯💯

The location is very good which is just opposite the east nanjing road metro station and nanjing road is just 2 streets away. The bund is also within walking distance. However, the accommodation is not that good. The room we got were not sound proof and the neighbouring rooms occupied by korean visitors were very noisy throughout the night (they must have been drinking and started shouting and banging stuff). The drainage of the shower is problematic with water clogged and flooding when taking shower. The water heater let out continuous noise every once in a while. The shower area is separated from the lavatory bowl by just a shower curtain that is not fully covering up to the floor. Hence whenever we shower, the bathroom will be wet. The wash basin is located inside the room, outside the toilet. Hence, whenever someone uses the basin to wash their hands, it will disturb other people who are sleeping in the room. The beds are not very comfortable with the bed on the bed frame sinking down in the middle. The bed on the floor is just another mattress laid on the floor without any bed frame etc. There is also constant sound of people flushing their toilet from the floor above and water rushing through the pipes which can be heard from our room. The shopkeepers downstairs are very loud in the morning and at night which is all heard inside the room. We could barely sleep all night. Bottled water is also not provided, but available for purchase at rmb2 per 550ml bottle from the reception which is at 3rd floor. There is no lift in the hotel and you’ll have to carry your big luggage up 3 flights of stairs to get to the reception at 3rd floor. If you’re in shanghai mainly to visit the bund and to shop at nanjing street, then this hotel is an affordable acceptable place to stay the night provided you’re not easily disturbed when you sleep. Otherwise, you can get better hotels at other locations further from the bund with better services and amenities. The bund and nanjing street is easily accessible via the metro train. Just find an accommodation near to the metro station and you’ll be able to get to these places easily.
