Xingyu hotel was very convenient if you plan to go to Yu Garden and it is walking distance from the train station. The breakfast buffet was pretty good including congee, eggs, cereals, dessert. However the english tea was in a pot and is very diluted. The rooms are relatively clean. However, the hallway does have some kind of smell. Not... More

The hotel is known as 'Oriental on the Bund' which is literally behind the famous Yu Yuan Gardens. The hotel is situated from the 8th to 12th floor of the building and is about a 5-10 min walk from the nearest metro station 'Yu Yuan'. Stayed in a twin room and the 'standard' room was very large and well equipped... More

I don't think we can find any other hotels with same rate for the view of the Bund like Xingyu. It's little bit difficult to find the hotel. But it's actually really nice location. Just 5 mins to Yuyuan Garden, 10 mins to the Bund. The room is quite clean and tidy, the balcony with the Bund view is a... More

The hotel is centrally located about 5 minutes walking distance from the Bund boardwalk, 10 minutes from the Yu Gardens and 5-10 minutes from the #10 and #2 subway lines, respectively. If taking a taxi, the hotel may be slightly difficult to find as it's slightly off the main road. Once you find it the firs time it's very easy... More

This hotel was attractive and clean, with pleasant rooms and a pretty dining area. We paid a little extra for a deluxe room and got a fantastic view of the Westin petalled tower, and its neighbours. The room itself was pleasant, of a reasonable size, with a large, modern television (even though the channels often broke up) but I'm not... More

Like someone else here said, after hours doing research on hotels in Shanghai no one could beat the Oriental Bund on this price range. At first some reviews made us hesitate, but in the end we can say we have absolutely no regrets of our choice. Just can’t understand why it does not get a better ranking. I will now... More

Now more properly called the Oriental Bund Hotel, the hotel was previously called the Donglai Hotel and the Xingyu Hotel and we saw those 2 names plus the Oriental Bund name in various hotel signs, stationary, etc. It was taken over a year or so ago by I think the same owners as The Seagull on the Bund, who have...

To visit Shanghai, the Oriental Bund Hotel is a very good option. My wife and I got to the hotel by subway. This is the first good thing: Yuyuan Garden subway station is very close to the hotel, about 150 metres (in addition, since we flew to Terminal 1 in Hongqiao Airport, we did not even have to transfer). Rooms... More

We booked and confirm with ctrip, the bed is 1.8m width queen bed, it's 5-days advance promo. Then 1 or 2 days before ctrip call me that the hotel say the bed is only 1.6m or double bed. And they told me do not have option to change to twin bed room, we can only cancel it if we do... More
