Dapuqiao Hotels, Shanghai

"The location was very convenient. The family room was spacious and clean. The only thing that needs major improvement was the room service food. We ordered room service on a rainy night. It was super expensive (over 500 yuan for four simple items) and tasted terrible. For that price, you would expect decent food. It was the worst meal we had in Shanghai. We can’t order food delivery because we don’t have a local phone number. We ask staff for the hotel number for delivery but didn’t work and we didn’t really get much help so we ended up ordering room service."

"The location is excellent, very close to the Huangpu River and major attractions, making it convenient for getting around. The hotel staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Unfortunately, our experience with the Grand Family Room was disappointing. The windows faced inward toward other rooms, so there was no natural light. This made the room feel quite dark, especially since the interior lighting was also very dim. We found the photos to be somewhat misleading in this regard, as we couldn’t realistically keep the curtains open. Additionally, the furnishings felt quite dated. The sofa was heavily worn, with peeling leather, and the bed frame showed clear signs of long-term use. While the hotel’s popularity is understandable given its prime location, it didn’t feel like a true 5-star experience compared to other properties in the area that I had stayed in."

"Great hotel good location"

"Excellent Hotel right on Nanjing Road, close to everything. Breakfast was great with many choices, hotel staff were helpful"

"The hotel is in a prime location with easy access to Nanjing road, new world, right above a metro station. The best thing about staying at this hotel is you don’t have to line up for hours for the famous park hotel butterfly bread, as there is facility to order it to your room!"

"Quiet but close to attractions. The free shuttle within 2 km was extremely helpful. All the staffs were extremely eager to help in anyway. The pool, workout room spa are all excellent. Room was well appointed and the views are amazing. Mr. Chen at the front desk was very knowledgeable and friendly during the check-in process in addition to every time seeing him. Luigi was very friendly during the checkout process. Thank you to everyone at the Mandarin Oriental. Looking forward to visiting again in the near future."

"Clean room and room servicing, good concierge team and good services. Young bell boy who was very service oriented, exceptionally customer oriented worth mentioning. Breakfast was average. Checkout service was average. "

"Amazing value for money. Luxurious room for a very reasonable rate"

"My room was nice but HOT! I called and asked them to fix the air conditioning. It took three calls before someone came. After they looked at it, they said give it time and it will get cooler. It never did. I called customer service no less than seven times before I could get someone to respond. They said they would bring me a fan. Somehow they forgot. After 30 minutes I called again. I asked to speak with the manager who after a while apologized and 15 minutes later brought a fan to the room. All I did was blow around hot air. Breakfast was also disappointing. The coffee machines did not offer simple brewed coffee. The toaster was broken. The bacon was raw, the eggs were cold. Very disappointing experience. I made the manager aware of all of my situations and he said thank you sorry for the inconvenience. No explanation, no discount, just more disappointment.."
