    NOTHING! Everything was perfect.

    What an amazing experience this hotel. The moment you walk into the hotel, it gives you a warm luxurious welcome. The staff is extremely helpful and they all speak very good English which is rare in China. The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable and the bathroom very large and comfortable. Housekeeping staff is very helpful. The location is the best, right on The Bund. This hotel exceeded our expectations and if we will return to Shanghai, we will stay at this amazing hotel again.

    The room had a nail in the floor that was not covered and needed to be fixed. While the room was impressive, when looking very carefully the room was not modern in terms of refined finishing in certain areas (wardrobe lighing, etc. The pool staff were very direct and seem overbearing. Somewhat too direct and can be seen as a little rude. The pool was fine.

    The location. The bed room and bathroom was amazing. Remote control of the room was very nice. The hotel public areas are marble and historic.

    Nothing comes to mind.

    We had a room with a view of the Bund and every evening we were able to sit with a cup of tea and watch the light show. We really enjoyed the Long Bar in the hotel and the bar manager went out of his way to make our experience a delight. He also gave us very good advice on places to visit and wonderful restaurant's within walking distance of the hotel. The old world charm of the original building was truly special.

    , breakfast was boring.especially if you stay for more than 2 days. The same food was served every day with few options of western food. I suggest to reconsider the breakfast menus. The image of the hotel in the advertise t should be honest. Its not straight on the bind its in the back of the historical building.

    The hotel amenities were amazing.

    It was a wonderful stay at the Waldorf Astoria, the staff were kind, attentive and their service is exceptional. The location is also great, walkable distance to tourist attractions such as Yuyuan and East Nanjing Road. Would definitely stay there again if we were to visit Shanghai in the future

    the salon for the breakfast was too small for all people.. you wait for everything because it was full with people,but i guess because it was christmas time

    we stayed in lux suit and it was great size,very luxury and nice.Comfortable bed,big bathroom,everything was perfect,location is also on the bund,close to everything.. Have in mind to prepare translator on your phone,because the language barrier is everywhere,nobody speaks english but i saw this everywhere in all hotels.I liked really everything
