Kingtown Riverside Hotel Plaza Shanghai

Good location but rooms could have been better.

Location wise, this hotel is great. A short walk to Nanjing Road and nice river view just across the hotel. The only set back was that the hotel room we had looked old. The amenities were basic i.e no safe deposit box in the room, the rain shower was not usable. The ceiling had holes around the sprinklers and the air vent looked dirty. Breakfast was not bad.

Good location

Being only 10 mins to Nanjing road, and the same to Peoples park and square, and another 15 mins down to the Bund, location is very good. Dont be put off by the back street that the entrance is on. Across the road is the very good Swatow Sisters restaurant and round the corner are a couple of convenience stores. Our room was perfectly fine, although the view was only into the houses across the alley. The bar/cafe in reception was very hit and miss, and inconsistent. Reception staff are very helpful even though they have little English. Breakfasts are vey good with lots of choice. Can be busy

Disappointing

This was our last stop in a 6-city, 13 day trip through China and, compared to all the other similarly-starred hotels we stayed in, this was a big disappointment in many, but not all, ways. Parts of the exterior are extremely dirty, our room (320, on the back side of the building) was tight but adequate with cool bump-out floor to ceiling windows that were situated directly across (maybe 30 feet away) from neighborhood apartments (I felt like a voyeur and intruder while looking out these windows as the residents across the way could see me as well!) and a great city view. The bed, as with all

I like the location

Terrible....

This hotel was well placed but that was all. Our room was dirty and there was a hole in our bathroom roof! Reception staff were rude. Breakfast food was limited and some foods stale. Would not recommend staying here.
