"Won't stay anywhere else!"
We booked our room through Orbitz, but were given a complimentary upgrade to the Executive floor. The staff at the check in on this floor were very helpful, and always pleasant. Great views from our room, and we loved the spaciousness of the place. Yes the beds were hard, but this is kind of standard in many hotels in China (fortunately it suited us fine...). Front desk is not very helpful, but the other staff went out of their way to be of assitance. We would go around the corner and buy egg/crepe panckaes for breakfast, for a whopping 10 cents, which was better than the hotel food, but overall the meals were not bad. The ballroom was in the process of being renovated while we were there, and we were told that the rooms/wings were in the slow process of being converted into smaller, more upscale rooms. Not all rooms are created equal, but it might be nice to visit now. It may not be so affordable in a couple of years time.

"Wonderful Astor House"
A wonderful hotel, far away from Hilton; Sheraton, Radisson and other hotels that looks the same whereever you go. This hotel was built in 1846 as the first hotel in China. The style is English Upper-class. Einstein and Chaplin and other famous people stayed here, but, I am sure the rooms have been upgraded since that time. Our room, on the 6:th floor was equipped with fridge, flat-screen-TV with 75 channels, marble bathroom, nice furniture and so on. We had view over the Bund and Pudong. The staff at the hotel was all very friendly and helpful. The cost of this was less than 100 US$ a night. In one of the bars there was an Internet-connection for 15 Y/hour.When we left the hotel it was REALLY heavy raining. We wanted to take the shuttle-bus top the airport. Two bellboys followed us over the street and 100m away, protecting us with their umbrellas. If we go go to Shanghai again, we will surely stay at Astor.

"A little old world grandeur"
We were keen to experience 'the 1st hotel in Shanghai'. The Astor House is reputed to have been a hotel since 1846 which is quite a long time especially with Shanghai's turbulent past! As this hotel is still a three star with a backpackers dormitory somewhere in the building we were able to book an Executive Room which was huge with the 'trademark' lovely wooden floors. The room had an office area with a pc and free internet access for our use - this was a great little extra. The breakfasts were good, we especially liked seeing the staff dressed in traditional chinese outfits every morning! The staff were really friendly and welcoming except for the executive floor staff who were a very aloof! Our Executive Room was on the 1st floor where the Executive Reception was so we did hear the telephone ringing which was a bit annoying. Also, the traffic noise outside was quite audible from the room and we were bitten by mosquitos whilst we slept. Having said that it is a nice hotel and our stay was very comfortable with the added bonus of only being across the Waibaidu Bridge from The Bund.
