Shanghai Baron Business Hotel - Шанхай

A good, simple hotel for a quick trip. Our room was large and comfortable, and the location was unbeatable - right on the Bund at a good price!

The Bund River walk is 1.5 blocks away. The East Najing Metro station is 4 blocks away.

As others have said, it has a very good location, able to walk to the bund and Nanjing road from the hotel. Others have pointed out that it is also tucked inside an alley. Fortunately, there was the hotel's signage at the front of the alley, so we were able to see which alley it was.

This hotel is in a great location, very clean and rooms very comfortable. The important things were right...it was clean, good shower and bathroom (but without a mirror in the bathroom which is a bit of a pain) comfortable bed and they supply slippers and a robe. Tv has very little in term of english channels, 1, I think but then you spend such little […] time in your room it didn't matter. There are safes in the rooms for your valuables. Staff at the desk aren't overly helpful and will actually ignore you if you approach the desk and just politely wait until they come to you. The hotel is close to the bund, about 8 minutes walking distance. It's about 15 minutes walk to Nanjing road the shopping district and where you can get the metro from. We walked to the hotel in about 20mins with our backpacks on from the metro station. The hotel will however send you the hotels name and address in chinese figures which will help if you get a taxi as taxi drivers in general won't read english. Читати далі

I just got back from Shanghai and stayed at the hotel for 14days. The rooms were excellent not like everyone says , i.e. small it was 20ft x 15 that's bigger than my bedroom and didnt include the bathroom area. The beds were hard like everyone says but comfortable. The food was actually pretty good. the only thing i recommend is including it in your […] booking as it works out cheaper than 35rmb everyday. The internet is slow but not unbearable. Room decor - great, and im a designer so that means alot. The food was a bit oily but not unbearable. The staff was very helpful ..the only thing i would say is learn the railway if you plan on visiting many areas...its cheaper. hope this helps Читати далі

Excellent location to stay in Shanghai. Only 3 mins walk to The Bund, 5 mins walk to East Nanjing Road n 10 mins walk to Cheng Huang Miao ( Shanghai City God Temple). Try Shanghai Grandmother Restaurant located near this hotel as it serves delicious Chinese dishes at an affordable price.

Very nice hotel in a very convenient location. Just a short walk to Nanjing Pedestrian Shopping Street and the Bund. Within walking distance of Yu Yuan Gardens. If you don't know Chinese, it's sometimes difficult to get your point across, but the staff is quite friendly and helpful. Have stayed here 3 times and would recommend.

Excellent value for money in terms of room conditions and hotel location. Will stay again.

Its very well located, 3minutes walk to the Bund and approximately 10mins walk to the nearest metro station, Nanjing Dong Lu station. The room is very neat, clean and spacious. Lan cable internet is available too. probably the only minus point about the hotel room is that the little opening on the bottom of the main door is slightly too wide. Could […] still hear people walking and talking in the middle of the night when they pass by my room. Otherwise its a pretty decent hotel.. Читати далі

In terms of service, this hotel is really basic. I got cheap prices by booking online and I have to say that the location is really perfect to visit Shanghai.

good location for nightview

Stayed here for 7 nights in early December Great hotel 1 block away from the bund. It is located 3 blocks away from Nanjing Rd East Metro which makes commuting around Shanghai extremely convenient. The hotel itself is tucked inside an alley so is a little hard to find initially. But once you enter the alley it opens up to a large hotel front. Some […] reviewers have said the area is not the best.... with some traffic noise, beggars outside on the street (Fuzhou rd)... well that is simply Shanghai! It is like that everywhere. The area in fact very secure and with the road being one way does not get much traffic at all in the night. Also <100meters from the hotel is a famous Jazz bar playing daily, breakfast is convenient at the multitude of eateries outside and Shanghai bank is opposite for convenient 24hr ATM access. Room service was polite and prompt. I must say if you do not speak English, you may struggle at times with their service desk especially later at night when the available staff to translate diminishes. Did not try to in house diner, it appeared overpriced compared to the eateries around the hotel. Only faults that I can find is the people who stay here are not always of the higher social standard. Often smoking in areas which are forbidden. So if you have a strong dislike of cigarettes look elsewhere. Booking a non smoking room will not help. The walls are a little thing and as many of the rooms share a common atrium noise travels easily. on 3 occasions heard neighbours having loud sex... did not personally bother me. Was solicited for sex one night here also in the lobby. All in all though, great clean comfortable hotel at a very affordable rate located close to bund, metro, and old shanghai district Читати далі

Nice, clean hotel and very convenient location.

The hotel is in good location, and most of the thing is good, but one thing need to improve is the toilet water pressure, too low pressure to use. so not so comfortable to bath.

I stayed there for a total of 2 nights recently. The location of the hotel was great! It is just about 2 minutes walk to the Bund and 5-10 minutes walk to the metro station (Nanjing East Station). The room was clean and comfortable, very worth it for the price that i booked.

Now good, smell dirty, dark room even window side room, staff not very good, business king room does not have window. I didn't lik eit but no choice to change at that time so I stayed 3 nights. But only one thing was good, easy to shopping place and metro line 2. It was only good thing for me.

overall its fine only that the aircon keep having dirt coming out which dirty our bed. location is near bund but nt very convi to find nice food. but manage to find a nice dessert from taiwan 2 street away.

My recent stay there was overall good. The service was poor! No bell boys to help checkin/out baggage> However the housekeeping very gd and efficient!! The pillows too soft better if pillows hard. I spoke with the front office manager re checkout 3pm there didnt allow and extended only 15 minutes! till 215pm!! OUr flight was 530pm and perhaps they can […] be more flexible as i checkin about 530pm on arrival. Is there a gd rate for repeated guest like me should i come again or referred friends/family??

Fantastic, no frill hotel, clean room, close to the bund and subway. One of the best in terms of location and cleanliness. I have one issue with it. The wall is too thin. Can u believe i can literally hear my next door neighbour snoring? Its either he snores so super loud or the wall is so super thin. I believes its the latter because i can hear […] the noise of tv from other neighbour. This is the only negative i can think of for this hotel. Otherwise, its a fantastic place to stay in.

I recently stayed at the Baron Business Hotel with my two sons and was generally very happy with the service on offer. Rooms were a good size and there was no problem bringing in an extra bed to accommodate the three of us. We opted for a garden suite which came with a verandah, which was good. The location was brillant, just a few minutes walk to the […] Bund and an easy taxi ride to most things of interest. Only quibble would be only 2 english speaking television channels. Читати далі

We stayed at the Baron after a fortnight touring China for business. I didn't have high expectations give the price and the fast it claimed it was so close to the tourist attraction of the Bund. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. Staff spoke suffice English and check in process was simple and efficient. The room was very large and we had a nice […] view of skyscrapers from our garden terrace. Breakfast wasn't included in our rate so we paid and extra 48RMB (£5 / $8). It was buffet style and had a selection of chinese food, and even toast, bacon and egg; we thought we were dreaming! Very good value. The location of the hotel was great, just a short walk to the Bund and we felt safe once within the hotel grounds and there were guards on the door. The only negative point of the hotel is the area it's in is a favourite for beggers, street sellers and pimps to ply their services at night and they could be a pain, a firm no wsn't always suffice. It wasn't the hotels fault though and if you could put up with this then the hotel is a cracking little oasis in a city of chaos. Читати далі

The location is excellent to brance the Bund, the pricing is reasonable and room facility is sufficient for the business man.

Great location near the "Bund" in downtown Shangahi, close to train, and beautiful river! Quiet location simple, not too fancy but great price for location!

Our Executive King room was tiny and bare compared to the on-line photos, but the neighborhood location was great. Internet was not free and there was no fax machine as described. There was also no airport shuttle as listed, but our cab driver had no problems knowing where the hotel was, even though the entrance is not on the street, but down an alley […] way. Читати далі

After 3 nights in a noisy low-budget hotel I decided to spend my last night in a more expensive place. This hotel is centrally located, just off the Bund, with a number of western (for those who care) restaurant options nearby and also a metro station at not too long a distance. The beds however were just as hard as in the cheap place, and although […] the (economy) room was spacier and in terms of decoration was of a higher class, it didn't offer any additional comfort or better looks than the cheap hotel did. But it was quiet and that was a big bonus. The economy rooms in this hotel can use some new paint, probably the more expensive rooms look better, but that seems a wrong decision by the management.

Very nice location, about 5 minutes walk to Nanjing East Station. Nice rooms on the 5th floor... Highly recommended!

My wife and I like it, we will go back to stay next time when we visit Shanghai.

Difficult to find initially this hotel is only two blocks away from the Bund and a short walk from Nangking road and the subway. A perfect location. There were four of us and we were offered a two bedroom suite as an upgrade instead of two Double rooms. Staff were helpful and attentive. Breakfast was not to our western tastes so we bought juice, fruit […] and toast from the shops 100m away. A good restaurant opposite the shops. Overall great value. Читати далі

Hotel reception and management is still very chinese. The rooms has decent furnishing, however, the bed is hard; u kind of get used to it after the 2nd night. My stay was good mostly contributed by the Sept sunny blue sky and its location and its proximity to Shanghai food.

I found the location of this Hotel quite good and easy to find. Even though I arrived after midnight it did not take long to check in.

The worse Hotel I've stayed in fo years. Mostly because of the negligent treatment from all the staff, but also by the inumerous "agreements" they had with everyone (forcing to take their own taxi for everything to overcharge you, by writing in chinese the addresses of only places they Wanted you to go and not what you had asked for, etc). Actually, […] the hotel only lives of reaping-off people that have lost their planes and as a Motel for all the surrounding prostitution. It's a very unpleasant and unsafe feeling to stay there. To top it off, I asked the manager for late check-out (as everyone only understands a little english until you've completed your check-inn, then forget it), and he was as rude as their taxi mafia (who would be permanently present in their lobby and scream/insult in chinese evertime I passed by as I didn't pick-up their cab), and ended-up forcing me to pay one whole day (at counter price) for 4 hours. Please, do not stay at that Hotel if you don't want to have a terrible experience in Shanghai! Читати далі

Also the first day we arrive the hotel ,they give us a double bed room even though we have strongly request a king size bed,but early in the second day morning, they offer us a garden view room! this hotel is good good location […] to the bund area,within 5 min walking distance,the hotel has mordern decoration,comfortable bed sheet,clean clean room, i am lovin it Читати далі

Right in the middle of the Bund, clean room and friendly staff. Metro station East Najin Rdis 6 blocks away. Tip: give credit card and not cash as deposit when you check in.

The only think | would point out and reccomend to the hotel is to show the pictures of the outside of the hotel. People can be dissapointed not to see how the hotel look like and might not choose this hotel. But I would highly recomend this hotel for at leats these reasons: - good location - good service - very silent hotel - good price

Don't let the outside of the hotel shape your view. The inside of the hotel is very nice. The location is awesome! It only took 5-10 minutes to walk to the Bund. Great restaurants nearby. The only thing about the room that was not my first choice, was the bathroom door and wall was frosted glass so you could basically see through to what was going on […] in there. The staff was very nice and helpful. Free internet in your room. Would definitely recommend this hotel Читати далі

I was very disappointed. You have to go down a dark alley surrounded by delapidated buildings to get to the hotel. The window in our room had a wall about a foot from it on the outside and it was dirty and the paint was peeling. We could hear people yelling at each other in the apartments next door. The windows would not fully close. The bed was as […] hard as the floor. I asked for an extra comforter so that we could cushion the bed by sleeping on top of two comforters and they brought me a sheet and said they had no other comforters and then argued with me saying the bed was not hard.

The best thing about this hotel is its location. It's only 2 blocks down to the bundt, a few blocks to the Nanjing street, not far from the People's Park. There's a couple 24-hour mini markets and cafes around the hotel - super convenient! There are always people walking around the street -- it's super safe. The hotel was clean (for chinese standard). […] The staff spoke English pretty well and they were helpful. The internet worked well, so did everything else. BEWARE - the beds are super hard. I love super firm mattresses, but these ones were HARD. I was there for 2 nights - woke up with backache. All in all, it's worth it . Читати далі

AWFUL SERVICE

Checked in late at night for transit to Beijing the next morning. Walk from station to the location was dark and felt unsafe. Have to walk through a dark alley from the main road to get into the hotel. Reception was not the most helpful. Room was satisfactory but felt unsafe. There was a window in the room but is only 30cm away from a high wall. ?????? anyway, […] to stay for a stopover is OK due to its cheap rates. but not recommended for long stays. Читати далі

This hotel designed with the business traveller in mind, is not the cheapest around but is definitely not expensive. The hotel is set back from the road and we asked for a quiet room. The hotel room view was a set of indoor office stairs! On a cruise it would be called a "totally obstructed view". No view but also no outside sound either. Room to room […] walls could be thicker as neighbours were easily heard through them. We had to take the bed apart to make sure there was a matress it was so solid. I've slept on softer floors in my time. Room amenities includes a kettle and two green-tea bags. The mini bar fridge contained a total of 4 cans of soda and that was it! Beware - there is a small safe in the wardrobe which is not big enough for a laptop but we realised once we had deposited all our valuables in it that it was not bolted down to anything. Someone could have easily just picked up the whole safe, tucked it under their arm and walked out. Breakfast was inexpensively extra but worth it. Very varied spread including Japanese style congee and soups, Continental toast and pastries to a full American style cooked breakfast. The location is convenient for central Shanghai with the underground, People's Square and the Bund all withing a few minutes walk. Convenience stores are all around so supplies are easily obtained. We would definitely stay there again on future visits. Читати далі

1. The hotel receptionists should improve their english. They were not very friendly too. They are also uncaring. 2. Toilet bowl cannot be flushed 3. Super VERY stiff mattresses 4. Faulty bath tub drain plug 5. Air con sometimes can be very cold or warm 6. No sugar!! We ask for 2 or 3 tea bags and sugar, only given only ONE tea bag and no sugar because […] they claim they don't have sugar!!! First time we encounter a hotel that does not even have sugar!!!

This hotel is just a few blocks away from the Bund (the riverside walk) and Nanjing Road (the main shopping drag). I was in Shanghai on business, but stayed here so I could see a bit of the city in my spare moments. It was a good decision. I found this hotel to be extremely clean and comfortable, and the price was very reasonable.

It is a very good little hotel in Shanghai, clean and comfortable, very close to the Bund and the other shopping areas, the subway station is very close, about 10 minutes walk, we took the number 2 train to the PuDong airport for only 7 yen one way and in an hour, taxis is available, but the different is 200 yens and over one hour, the traffic in shanghai […] is terrible.
