My stay at Sofitel Shanghai North Bund had its ups and downs. The hotel boasts beautiful design and comfortable rooms, but I faced significant service challenges and some maintenance issues. The breakfast options were a highlight, but the overall communication with staff left a lot to be desired.

I stayed in a Luxury King Room with a nice city view. While spacious and well-equipped, I noticed the room was somewhat old and in need of maintenance. Some corners felt a bit neglected, but the bed was comfy enough for a good night's sleep.
Service

The service was hit or miss. Staff were generally unhelpful and had difficulty communicating in English, which led to a frustrating experience at times. One incident at the bar was particularly unpleasant with rude behavior from the male staff. Overall, the lack of customer service training was evident.

While the hotel is convenient for getting a taxi to downtown and other attractions, I found it difficult to walk anywhere nearby. The nearest subway station, Hailun Road, was not within walking distance, which was a bit of a hassle.

During my stay at Sofitel Shanghai North Bund, I enjoyed the beautiful design and friendly staff, but there were a few drawbacks, particularly with the air conditioning and the lift system. The location is appealing as it provides easy access to traditional neighborhoods, offering a taste of local culture. However, I found that the amenities could use some improvement, especially regarding the TV channels available and the slow service at times.
