I had a truly lovely stay in Les Suites Orient, the hotel is a true gem. The location is just fabulous alongside the Bund, what I enjoyed the most was the truly fascinating view from our room to the Bund during the evening, I just couldnt get enough of it. So I recommend staying in the Bund Suite with a river view which is in the corner of the building (rooms ending with **08 number). The staff was friendly and helpful, although some of them lacked in their knowledge of english, which is very often the case in Shanghai. Breakfast was sufficient and the lounge on the 3rd floor is very comfy. I found the combination of modern and art deco minimalistic style in the reception and rooms very lovely. Only downside for the hotel is the extremely slow and unreliable hotel wifi, rooms are showing a tad of wear in some areas but for me it is not an issue.
