Pamper yourself!
This hotel really feels like you are treating yourself. From the moment you walk through the door, to when you sadly have to leave, the service is exceptional. It's modern, bright, fun, and such a beautiful place to stay. The food is amazing, as are their cocktails! I can't wait to stay here again sometime soon.
Nice, but will not stay...
This W hotel is nice however not as nice as some of the other Ws like in LA, Hong Kong, or the Bellview ones in Washington State. The rooms are ok but not as expected. I asked for a nonsmoking room as we and my room smell like cigarettes. The view was nice and the restaurant was great as what you would expect. However, for the price of $300/night, I would consider other options in the future.
The room size was a bit too small. , Room smell, like cigarettes in the none smoking room.
Splashing good time
We stayed in the Cool Corner room which had a great wrap-around view. There was a tub by the windows which allowed for a relaxing bath overlooking the city. The breakfast options were plentiful with attentive staff and good coffee. Another highlight of our stay was the outdoor pool. The weather was absolutely perfect with clear blue skies and fierce sun. There were a handful of families and kids but the atmosphere was still pretty calm. Really enjoyed my time here!
Comfy & Gorgeous
Great view, nice pool, amazing breakfast
Exceptional
A getaway on the Bund with a pool and a view! A hip chic luxury hotel.
Wet Bar wasn’t open until evening. It’s always nice to have a drink near the pool.

Cleanliness of the in room bathroom
The view of the bund is priceless, probably by far one of the best view of shanghai. The room is nice but over priced for the type of customer service they provide.
Upon arrival on first floor, the staff made me fill out health arrival forum when ive already scanned and showed them my health code. Also told the young man wearing glasses at that time that I could not read chinese, than i was told to fill out a forum in english. However at this time I asked this same staff if he could fill it out for me because I was carrying boxes and bags and no longer had hands which he quickly answer no and I needed to fill the forums by myself. By the way, there was no bell boy to help you with your bags. 2nd during that night I asked the front desk manager If I could get my breakfast sent up to my room because we could not wake up in time for breakfast. The manager at that time told me that it could not be done because when I booked my hotel, the breakfast that was included was to dine in only at the Mlevel. He told me if I could not wake up in time they could give us a wake up call or out it in take out boxes and leave it at the check out desk and pick it up when we checked out. I than asked why it could not be done if they could put it in take out boxes why not just bring it up to my room? He than told me it could not be done. I mean for $823 usd a night at the Whotel they sure have one of the worst customer service ever. So to make things short I did not get a wake up call the next day for the breakfast nor was it placed in a takeaway box for me. So I paid extra for breakfast which I did not get? Also if you order deliver or take away you need to go down to get it yourself. There is no staff that will bring it up the room for you. I also noticed why my credit card had two charges from Whotel which totaled to 1400usd. One was for my room and the other which I found out myself and later found out from the check out manager that they accidentally charged my credit card twice during check in and thought the first time did not work. I mean the amount of staff error and unprofessional from staff is one of the worst ive encountered.

I cannot find something, because it was really everything so perfekt! Great and ultra modern hotel, my friend and I love it!
W Hotels are the best Hotels I‘ve ever been. Doesn‘t matter if in Barcelona or in Shanghai everywhere I was more than satisfied. The staff been so nice to us and our room with it‘s furnishing and view was amazing! The inside pool and spa was also amazing!
The only thing I can complain about is the price - but that‘s Ok, we knew W Hotels are expensive but it‘s definetly worth it!

Lighting effect in room, bath setting and public decoration.
a bit dusty on some of the vary use item like speaker or wall mount lamp.

Very comfy bed!
Extremely nice staff which is helping in any kind of way. Girlfriend had birthday and they helped me organizing flowers and so on. Absolutely great hotel, only recommendable!
I did not dislike anything.
The W on the Bund in Shanghai was the perfect luxury experience. The staff were personalised and their attention to detail was incredible. We felt so incredibly valued as clients and will definitely return. Many thanks to Juliet and Cassie who transformed a very special time for us into an incredible memory. Their efforts made us feel like absolutely valued guests and would be the very reason we return to stay at the W. Customer service like this, even within a luxury capacity are so hard to find and are a credit to very reason we chose to stay at the W. Many, many thanks

We celebrated our 5th anniversary at W Shanghai. The W Insider and the staff made us feel very special, spoiling us with little surprises. The breakfast is a must, it's absolutely delicious.
Our queen size bedroom was really big and modern with nice bathroom (shower and bathtub), and a big sofa all along the windows with a good view. There is an outside AND inside swimming pool with jacuzzi. The bar and restaurant both serve really good food, breakfast is amazing with nearly anything you can wish to eat in the morning. Finally, the view over the Shanghai Skyline is one of the most breathtaking I have seen.
A bit pricey but it is finally really worth it when you live the experience.
I visited W hotel the second time, this time with my kids. The rooms are spacious, very stylish, with a great view and the hotel is sited in a perfect spot. The outdoor and indoor pool area is great the relax for adults and kids the same way. There is enough space for everyone. The view from the outdoor pool is fantastic. In the evening you could have a nice dinner in The Kitchen Table with a fantastic view on the business district of Shanghai (TV tower, bottle opener, Jinmao Tower, Shanghai tower, and so on). The food is delicious, the staff always friendly and helpful. The variety at the breakfast buffet is phenomenal, you could already spend half a day there. Summarized, it is an absolutely great place to stay, but you also have to pay for it.
That I could not stay some more nights longer...
The room was super comfy with all the amenities you would expect. The view from our room was great as was the location near a mall for quick and easy meals. Location was perfect for our needs. The outdoor pool was very nice.
I did not like the timing for the outdoor pool. Open at 10:00 and closed at 6:00pm. Would have been nice to go down earlier and come back in the evening when the lights were on across the river.
Location close to the Bund with view of Skyline of Shanghai. Beautiful indoor swimming pool. Room is very large fancy. Great views. Close to metro.
Opening hours outdoor swimming pool are limited to 10am to 6pm. The room is missing a laundry drying line.
Everything , just stunning service , location , and facilities .

The hotel location is the best! You have all Shanghai Pu dong's view from your own room. The hotel staff is very nice and always looking to help in any matter. Restaurant is also amazing, great food and variety.
The only thing i would say can be better is the language, there are not a lot of staff members that can really speak English.
We have upgraded. Also all facilities are prefect and staff are nicely. The breakfast is delicious.
It is a little bit pricey.
Check in was great and staff were so welcoming! I think the check in ladies name was Veronica! She was lovely!
Room service. The fries were cold
Breakfast is good. Nice restaurant
Great staff who stop at nothing to help you out. I mentioned during my booking this was a special occasion for us (our wedding anniversary) and the whole W staff seemed to be aware of this.
If you can find anything about your stay that isn't to your expectations, the staff will help you out to make it right. There is absolutely nothing bad to say about the W in Shanghai
Very good
The employees are very considerate and polite
We brought our two kids with us and think it may not be a very family friendly hotel
Facilities where amazing, very clean and super trendy
Service Staff was very slow. It took very long until we received orders, which was way below our expectations for such an amazing place
The pool is just amazing with an insane view!
Great view on the bund, and very charming place.
Some of the receptionist are a disaster!
The property was clean and prefect
The price compare to other hotels were very high.I have been to lots of top hotel in different cities around world but I think this hotel is over priced. I paid lots more for my other vacation even 1000 USD per night but compare to other hotel services. I would not recommend this hotel to anybody .I also stayed in shangari la for one night with better view and better price
During the stay I liked the stuff’s caring about the gift for my birthday! It was surprising
The service to change quantity of your stay didn’t work and extra charge for room change is too expensive:(
We absolutely loved our stay at the W in Shanghai. The staff were all absolutely amazing - so friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!
Everything was incredible the decor the staff the service. Lynn is beyond amazing. The room was so so good we absolutely love this hotel it is the best I have ever stayed in!!

Lots of variety for breakfast. The location is great. View from the room is spectacular. Staff is friendly.
As hotel guests, we are not sure why we were not able to use tripod to take pictures at the wet bar which is at the terrace. There were very few people around when we were trying to take pictures in the evening. The view from the terrace is amazing.
The staff was warm and welcoming.
The staff was warm and welcoming.
Rooms are spacious and very clean. Interior quality also very good. Bathroom also spacious with moveable walls for a little bit of privacy. Bathtub and shower are both available in my room. The restaurants and bars are more than excellent, good for a snack and also for a relaxed dinner. Breakfast is huge. The hotel also takes car of not smoking in the rooms (big penalty) - good! If your are the first tim ein SHG, book a room with BUND view - it's worth it!
Windows can't be opened. Not a big issue and quite usual, but if you want to have some fresh air, it's difficult
My fiancé and I recently got engaged and to celebrate this and a special birthday, we decided to do a staycation in the W. My parents were visiting us in Shanghai from Ireland and we wanted them to have a special treat too. To say that we had the perfect stay is in no way an exaggeration! Every member of staff from arrival to checkout were exceptional, the facilities in the hotel were second to none, the variety at breakfast was divine, the decor in the room is so trendy and fun, the Woo cocktail bar served us fabulously presented and delicious cocktails for reasonable prices, the room upgrade was a fantastic surprise, the views from our rooms were the best we’ve seen of the Bund yet, the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in... these are to name but a few of the hotel’s best features. I will never forget the level of service we received, staff went above and beyond to ensure that our special occasion was just that. They were so personable that they made us feel like we were the only guests they had!! My fiancé and I are already planning our next visit to the W Shanghai!
I couldn’t fault a thing about the hotel!
Classy, sophisticated, clean, trendy.... everything about the W is just perfect. We got an upgrade to our room with a spectacular Bund view and were welcomed with a bottle of Veuve, just because. Definitely the best of the best, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Shanghai.
There isn’t a single thing not to like.
The hotel has been recently opened looks brand new, the room was amazing we were on the 41st floor the view was spectacular we could see the entire bund area with all the skyscrapers. The room appliances and lighting are all electronic making the experience even nicer. Staff are welcoming and helpful The hotel vibes are very lively Breakfast is delicious and there are variety of options to choose from I highly recommend staying in this hotel and would love to go back again
The air conditioning was not warm enough the room was cold most of the time
as i need to do the birthday party for my friend and need to do the room decoration in advance at the morning. I checked in at 8.30am and they allowed me to get into the room as they know i need to do the room decoration. i feel good as they did a favour to me with no more charges. the hotel is very beautiful and i love the swimming pool view that exact opposite to the oriental pearl tower.....so nice....the whole hotel feel is so youngful, playful with energy. the restaurant foods are so good with the bund view....
one disappointment point is that if i would like to call taxi, the ground staff couldnt help and a must to ask me to go to the concierge to make the appointment. that is not convenience.
Breakfast was great and worth the extra money. The staff is outstanding - all super friendly. The rooms are very nice and the view we had from our room amazing.
Great location
Staffs are young. So young that all look like interns.
Great hotel room with spectacular river view!
Terrible customer service. Have issues at management level , disrespect customer
Really funky and great location
Beautiful pool. The decor throughout is very trendy and fun. The views from the rooms were fabulous.
I am totally impressed with my whole end-to-end experience with W Shanghai. From the moment I checked in to checking out, the service, location, drinks and food quality have been brilliantly amazing. Another key are the interesting artistic installations around the hotel. Totally instagram-able pictures. The staffs are all well versed in English with great service.
The whole experience in the hotel was stunning. It was stunning
Couldn’t find fault
Loved the view of Pudong and the river. Fab design style of the room and whole building. Great breakfast, great facilities
Excellent room with good view, I could see the river, TV tower and the Bund from the spectacular room, very very good spa and Pool. The outdoor pool is excellent wish they keep it open till late evening. choices for Breakfast was superb, staff was very cooperative and never had a problem to communicate with them as the staff was speaking in English. Restaurant ambiance, food, and drink were also nice. Best Hotel I ever stayed and a very good experience.
The outdoor pool should be open at least till 11.00 PM
The view is amazing and the location is great. The breakfast was nice and the wifi worked well and reliably. The place is very fashionable and we also enjoyed the quality of room service and the hotel bar food.
The soundproofing in our room was poor and we could hear a lot of what was happening in other rooms. We also put our 'do not disturb' button on to get an afternoon nap and were woken up by a phone call asking if we wanted housekeeping because our DND button was on, which I felt negated the point of having it in the first place. To their credit the hotel apologised for this.
The bed was very comfy with fluffy pillows. Room size was good to considering we are a family of 4 with young children. The best part was the view. Amazing. Staff were very nice and attentive. Breakfast was lovely with a decent amount of choice.
The cost of lunch was not worth the value of what we had. It wasn’t great either.
It was my first time to stay W hotel.Reciption is very nice and when Lynn knew I came here to celebrate my husband birthday kindly offer us some sparkling wine and upgraded our room. The stuffs in the hotel are very nice and professional.
But the stuffs in the west restaurant are not professional and well organized. They made mistakes and gave other people my husband's special birthday cake which I booked month ago without checking with me. Very disappointed about their service.
The room have absolutely breathtaking view of the bund. The staff is friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay. Highly recommend this place.
This was without a doubt the best hotel experience i ever had. I had booked a room with Bund view for my wifes birthday. Before booking the price made me doubt, yet once i arrived i had absolutely no regrets. I arrived alone (as my wife was still at work) and immediately the staff (especially Cassie) asked about my wife, and told me they had prepared a gift for her birthday. When we arrived together after dinner the whole staff seemed to know it was her birthday, congratulating her (even the next day at breakfast, which by the way is superdelicious!). The room does have amazing views over the Bund, the bath by the window makes for very relaxed bathing and the bed is one of the best i have slept in. The total atmosphere of the hotel is so different and so cool, without losing the classy , 5 star hotel feel (yet in a way a lot more relaxed and easy going). the Whatever whenever theme when it comes to service is really present and we felt very much taken care of. We will definitely be back!
We couldnt see any possible improvement. When a late check out was not possible due to the busy weekend we were offered badges to continue using the pool (and a free drink , yeey).
Breakfast was good quality room view was really spectacular..like a picture highly recommend
smoking smell althought nonsmoking room
New, great fit out, awesome views amazing pool
Location was okay! Not far from a metro but not walking distance in the heat!
Staff are so nice and wake up with the bund view is awesome, great stay with my family tho the indoor pool is closed due to the renovation.
Everything was excellent.
Nothing at all.
I loved the suite room view and the morning breakfast was amazing
noisy bedrooms putting loud music at night couldnt sleep
The whole W experience is just amazing from start to finish. We were upgraded to a room with a view of the bund. The room was extremely comfortable with a large bath overlooking the view. The pool was...
It is very expensive but for an occasion worth it I think.
Excellent facilities, the rooms are very nice, cozy and comfortable, amazing staff. It is more than worth it to stay there
Really spectacular views; really modern last state of the art rooms. Nice outdoor swimming pool; good food; trendy Bar
Slightly overpriced; pool could be better; roof top bar would be a great add-on
everything was perfect from check in to check out
only issue was that it is not possible to get the room fully dark (maybe i was not able to), as some lights on the curtains are impossible to turn off
Best breakfast ever!!! Good location, nice design. Will be back.
Checkout takes forever...
Amazing breakfast, very nice staff, when we arrived double bed room was not available any more, staff member upgraded as to a better room for free, handled the problem really well.
The view, the location, the styling, the beautiful staff, all perfect.
No cocktails by the pool. Completely agree with a no glass policy but perhaps another stylish option? Would really create a different vibe down there.
Nice design, and brand. All details are well covered
Air condition makes too much noise. Hard to sleep
Views
Location, hard to reach by many important metro lines. Requires changing lines.
The pool is great. Rooms with the lights are a nice touch. Check out service is fast.
Check in was slow and chaotic. My requests for kids toiletries were not immediately taken care of. Breakfast bacon came burnt and choice of bread was wrong. Room is a bit dusty.
