Second-tier hotel masquerading as a first-tier one

bencpq TripAdvisor review

Laughably unprofessional service at a self-styled ‘high-end’ hotel. I booked and paid for two rooms for some friends. The front desk tried to push an upsell by repeatedly stressing in front of the guests that ‘the rooms they are getting do not have the best view of the Bund’, despite at least two very firm declines. The front desk lady’s determination to embarrass the client for commission was admirable. The front desk lady also seemed to have trouble accepting that a woman was handling the reservation. Even though I was the one making the reservation, putting down my card, and asking her the questions, she addressed all of her answers to my husband and would not look at me. I have rarely encountered such blatant misogyny in China. The hotel’s location is okay, but it is also at least a few miles away from the actual Bund. The facilities are not in the best of conditions – the pool is closed starting 21 May for maintenance, and almost half of the light switches in one of the rooms were faulty. Overall, the hotel is not really comparable with similarly priced ones in the same or better locations. They charge a premium for the facade of a ‘high-end hotel’, but they do not appear to have the service and amenities to match.

Dear Ms. Bencpq, Thank you for sharing your experience with us on TripAdvisor regarding your most recent stay at Banyan Tree Shanghai on the Bund. Your comments are of utmost value for us to improve our product and service quality. Please accept my sincere apologies for not being able to deliver a true luxury experience at our hotel this time. We shall certainly pay more attention on how we interact with our guests upon check-in and choose a more discrete and appropriate way of communication when it comes to recommendations of added value or services. Additional training of our team members on this subject is required and will be arranged. I am also taking note of your comment in regards to the faulty light switches to ensure those are getting repaired immediately. Unfortunately we were not able to avoid the one week closure of our pool facilities due to urgent repair & maintenance work in order to ensure a great experience for our guests in a well maintained environment. I sincerely hope your experience with us will not prevent you from choosing us again in the near future and I look forward to welcoming you back for your next trip to Shanghai. Sincerely, Christoph Kamieth General Manager

PeterDavenport Friends getaway - TripAdvisor review

The Banyan Tree group have a long standing reputation of excellence and high standards throughout Asia, which is the main reason why I wanted to try this one as it was ranked one of the very best in Shanghai. The location is excellent, right on the Bund and very peaceful and serene and the hotel beautifully presented, and the front desk staff excellent - although I was surprised to Fi over that only two or three staff could speak confidently in English. This was surprising for a group such as the Banyan Tree, with the pedigree and reputation they have worldwide. This did make communication somewhat challenging for me, although luckily, Alisa at front desk was an outstanding member of staff who helped me throughout. The Bund Retreat rooms really are special, beautifully appointed, spacious, outstanding views and a wonderful circular bath by the window. Unfortunately, my room on the first night had a problem with the air-conditioning, and the heating was super hot, which meant I could not sleep, clearly not ideal for my hotel of the standing. Alisa did not hesitate to move me the next day so my second night sleep was better! Overall, I enjoyed my stay, and it felt very luxurious, I hope they sort out the air-conditioning and all rooms moving forward.

Dear PeterDavenport, It was so glad to know you have enjoyed your stay at our hotel. We are committed to the pursuit of perfect details and for you to create a wonderful place. We are very delighted to know that our staff have provided you a great service! Meanwhile, we also appreciate that you mentioned the temperature problem of our air-conditioning, and our engineering team will try our best to fix it. Thank you for your comment and I will definitely share your praise with our team. Hope to see you again soon!

katherine800 TripAdvisor review

We booked the “Bund Oasis with Romantic Pool” room and the room was decent. When we woke up on the morning of 1/2/24, the lights could not be switched on and the fancy toilet that required power could not be flushed. Upon contacting the front desk we were then told that there is a power outage… The staff did not offer us another room until we asked how we were supposed to shower. As the room curtain also required power there was no natural light and we had to rely on phone torchlight to pack up our luggages in the dark. We did not expect to have such an awful experience at a 5 star hotel and it was definitely an experience that we will never forget.

Dear Katherine800, Thank you for sharing your experience with us on TripAdvisor following your visit to Banyan Tree Shanghai on the Bund. It was sad that there was a power outage on the floor where you were staying that night. Although the engineering department tried their best to repair circuit, we deeply apologize for the displeasure caused by this accident. We'll also share your exprience to all the departments to remind all employees that even in unexpected situations, what customers want should always be the top priority. We hope your experience with us this time will not prevent you from choosing us again in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back before long and will strive to serve you better.
