Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai
Expert reviews
“Slightly tucked away from the Lùjiāzu five-star hotel melee in a sheltered riverside spot, the 362-room Mandarin Oriental is a visual feast, from the beautiful oval chandeliers and multicoloured glass murals in the lobby to the excellent dining choices.”
“This luxury hotel chain is a latecomer to the Shanghai market, but owners have used the time to size up the competition and open in 2013 with a great attention to detail. The Mandarin Oriental Pudong is the five-star Pudong-side hotel closest to the Huangpu River.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Shanghai.
“As you pull up to the new Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai, one thing is clear — you can successfully create a city hotel that feels like a secluded escape. While the classic Art Deco architecture dominates the city’s famous Bund, Shanghai’s Pudong side is increasingly more modern, and so is this Five-Star hotel.”
“Although the Mandarin Oriental’s location in the Lujiazui business district is better suited to busy execs, tourists willing to sacrifice a little bit of extra travelling time will likely be bowled over by the the hotel’s large ultra-luxurious rooms, extensive facilities and sterling service.”

The housekeeping staff was awesome!
The room was large and clean. I liked the features in the room and also appreciated the high quality bathroom supplies and consistent supply of bottled water. The breakfast buffet was also good with options and quality. I enjoyed the amenities such as
Our check in process was terrible. We booked 2 rooms for 4 nights totalling 8 nights. They at first couldn’t find our reservation and was so rude about it without trying to help, they told us to step aside to figure it out on our own. Once it was sorted, they didn’t have either of rooms ready. We couldn’t end up checking into our rooms until 4pm which is unacceptable. We ended up spending $1200 RMB in the lobby lounge just to pass time and was not offered any compensation and we were also late for dinner.

An amazing hotel which provides a truly unique experience
The hotel is simply stunning with an amazing view of the oriental pearl tower, and not far from it. I also liked the facilities and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
The bathroom/closet took over half of the room and it couldn’t close properly which is not ideal if you’re not staying with your partner.

Key staff is very helpful and fluent in English. However, some staffs (at the hotel door) is very poor in English, very inconvenient for asking them to communicate with taxi driver.

Mandarine Oriental Pudong is an amazing hotel, great location, perfect service.
Breakfast was beyond expectations we were spoiled for choice.
Outside of the hotel it was impossible to use credit cards or money what made going around the town difficult.

Not fantastic the moment i step into the hotel. It feels more like a Domestic Hotel.
The junior staff at the restaurant whom is Carrie a female serve me well. She was polite and super friendly.
I did not really enjoy my stay as the staff were unfriendly. The junior staff are friendly and helpful especially Carrie from breakfast. The managers in suit are not friendly at all. There was this experience when i entered the elevator and the manager was so unfriendly and not a single word of greeting from him. He look so arrogant and unfriendly. I wont want to go back to that hotel anymore.

Disappointing experience for a supposed 5* hotel, I was expecting higher quality standards/service
The room was very clean, bed confortable and extraordinary view on the Bund
I am sorry but this is not a 5* service, I was expecting reception to speak proper English, then I got changed my initial room (2815) for a lower quality room (615), I knew I booked for Deluxe River view but I am usually upgraded when going to such hotels and I felt they were downgrading me not explaining the real reason why they changed last minute room allocation. For the price paid, don't expect to receive an excellent treatment you are not as considered as in other competitor chains.

It became a precious memory.
The hospitality is perfect in everything. A relatively quiet room. The elevator doesn't get crowded. A foods are delicious. Mandarin’s staff is nice and friendly.
