- Bathroom surfaces filled with stains. - Men's changing room was all wet and dirty with some shower knobs either broken or missing. - No shower gels in the Men's shower area for swimming pool. - Sauna was not working to start with. Upon numerous trials, it turned on and never got hot enough. - I'm not sure if this is even a spa hotel? Not the standards I would expect from a 5-star hotel to say the least. - Some staff were kind and friendly whilst others seemed very upset to even help you and had a very frustrated look on their faces. - Definitely not worth, 3500 CNY for a night stay at this hotel. Would recommend other hotels such as W, Peninsula or St.Regis if river views are desired
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest,Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about your recent experience at Banyan Tree Shanghai On The Bund. I am deeply sorry that your stay fell far short of the 5-star standards we strive to uphold, and I sincerely regret the inconvenience and frustration caused. I acknowledge your concerns about the men’s changing room and shower area, which are operated by a third-party provider. While Hotel do not directly manage these spaces, we have immediately escalated your feedback to our partners and are working closely with them to rectify. Your feedback is invaluable, and I regret that these issues impacted your stay. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a stay that truly reflects the quality and service you deserve. -- Christoph Kamieth General Manager

Great breakfast buffet, lots of selections Chinese and western cuisine. Very friendly service and good room, even though for the price the rooms could be a little more modernised, the air conditioning was a little loud as in most hotels. But it’s simply great to have a small pool in the room

I enjoyed the trip comfortably with Deslin's kind response. As I saw in other reviews, the facility was old, and the smell of the room with the bathtub was not refreshing. But throughout the stay, the bathtub maintained in temperature, and the view outside the window were fantastic. 데슬린의 친절한 응대로 편안하게 여행을 즐겼습니다. 다른 리뷰에서 본 것 처럼 시설은 오래되었고, 욕조가 있는 방의 냄새는 상쾌하지 않았습니다. 하지만 숙박 내내 온도가 유지되는 욕조와 창 밖 전경은 환상적이였습니다.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for sharing your experience at Banyan Tree Shanghai on the Bund, and for highlighting Deslin's kind response which contributed to your comfortable trip.

We strive to offer the best of both comfort and luxury, and I am happy that you were able to enjoy the fantastic views that our hotel has to offer. I hope to welcome you back in the future, where we can continue to provide you with exceptional service. --Christoph KamiethGeneral Manager

The room was amazing with a stunning view. On the whole it was a fantastic stay but there were one or two issues- 1. The yoga mats in the gym were filthy. And 2. I was bothered on a few occasions by cleaners or people coming to knock on the door e.g.the cleaner came inside the room even though I said it was too late and I didn't want the room to be cleaned now. It was around 5pm and no one had cleaned the room during the day, but by that time I was ready to relax. There was a language barrier so she just came in and started replacing snacks and drinks and tried to start cleaning up in the bathroom and I had to ask her to leave. I noticed before I left that there was a button for 'do not disturb' but it wasn't obvious so it would be good for the staff to mention that when showing you to your room. I also think it's a good idea for them to have a book with information regarding the restaurant, gym, spa etc.etc. there's some info on the TV but it isn't very detailed.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, on behalf of the hotel management team we would like to express our most sincerely apologize regarding your last unpleasant stay experience with us, we have shared your concerns with the team which really helps us to improve our services and products in the future and mostly importantly we will make sure the same issue will not occur again. We again apologize for all the shortfalls and look forward to welcome you soon at Banyan Tree Shanghai On The Bund. Banyan Tree Shanghai On The Bund management team .
