    Nice historic hotel downtown Shanghai
    Room was spacious and classically furnished. Some of the furniture, drapery, and lobby finishes were a bit worn, but to be expected in an older, historic hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating and spoke English which made check-in and out easier. I would stay at this hotel again.

    Faded glory Old Shanghai, worth considering
    I stayed in Shanghai for 8 days, and split my stay up among 3 hotels, roughly at the same price point (about $110 U.S.). One was modern, for a soft landing in a new city. And then I chose the Astor for 2 nights, along with the Miller Villa for another 2 nights, to capture Old Shanghai opulence. The Astor Hotel succeeded in that front. It was a bit faded, It was certainly quite glorious in its day, and is still quite nice (if a little rough around the edges in parts) now. And it is very convenient for walking and many nighttime activities (ie walks along the Bund, E. nanjing road, etc.). The subway stop on the useful #10 line is a bit of a trek (maybe around a mile, not sure though) along a sometimes quiet street. My first room, a “classic room” at the second to lowest rate, smelled horribly (mold? Sewage? It was bad) They changed my room to a considerably upgraded, super large and posh, historical room at no charge. I was impressed by their responsiveness. The breakfast room is stunning. The breakfast itself is large, with a good deal of variety. This was more of a quantity-over-quality approach to Chinese breakfasts, I think. But I was so taken by the stunning dining room that I was happy. History buffs may, like me, also consider a stay at the Motor Villa Hotel, in the former French Concession area. In my view, the Motor Villa is posher and more polished. But both are beautiful Grand Dame hotels, and both are worth a stay,

    Good location, but a bit tired...
    The location of the Astor House is amazing! And, my room was clean. However, the mattress was really hard. And, the thermostat wouldn't control the temperature. While the Astor House has an historic charm it is a bit rundown in the lobby area. All that said, the price was right and I had good service, overall.

    Felt a bit like sleeping in a museum, which was kinda cool. Great location near the Bund. You get a big breakfast, not included, in the elaborate Peacock Hall. Staying at this hotel enriched our stay in Shanghai.

    The location can't be beat. It is just minutes from The Bund, but just far enough away that you aren't overwhelmed by the crowds. The room we stayed in was huge and had a view of The Pearl from our window.

    Very good position
    Especially if you want to be near the Bund A little far from metro station Breakfast very good - staff very nice - Room large but needs some attention as it was showing it's wear & tear. Reception area needs an upgrade & more guest lounge seating to relax in while waiting. It is oldly worldly with lots of character. Would stay there again

    loved the room; hotel has lots of history, unique features; great museum about the hotel and the evolution of the bund region right in the hotel; fun to stay here! staff will turn down your bed in afternoon, give you next day's weather report. lots of neat hallways to explore--the hotel has some hidden corners, unique features, not like the new types of hotels where every floor is exactly the same!

    We enjoyed our stay. Though we requested the rooms to be side by side; while the room numbers are indeed in sequence but one was located in farthest corner, though not a big deal, must have been language barrier. Over-all,our stay was pleasant.

    Lovely but old hotel
    The lift well was undergoing refurbishment so we had to walk 2 floors of steps. The Wi fi in our room was abysmal which is not very handy when in a foreign country. The daily service was welcomed although the rooms are in bad need of refurbishment themselves. We were awoken one morning by children playing loudly in the adjoining room which sounded like they were in our very room. The acoustics are not good for sleeping in even tho there are black out curtains. The smell of cigarettes seemed to waft in to our room as well.

    Beautiful old hotel with a lot of history.
    The Astor was the first building in China to have electric light and a telephone. I love history and really enjoyed my stay. The hotel has a rather charming shabbiness, in a good way. If you like gleaming and modern this hotel is not for you. But if you love historical buildings I highly recommend. An astoundingly good breakfast buffet is worth every penny. In a very good location right near the river in the Buns. Staff has limited English, but try very hard. I was always able to manage to communicate. A 5 minute walk to the Riverside Promenade, The monument of hero's and other historically important buildings. The only criticism I have is check out can take a while....in my case about 20 minutes. I thought it was a wonderful place to stay.

    Wonderful historic hotel
    Staying at this hotel is like staying in a museum! If you enjoy historic buildings and the history of Shanghai then this is the perfect place. As you first walk through the hotel you'll notice the extra high ceiling and the cracking sound of the dated but polished wooden floorboards, which immediately differentiates it from most modern hotels. Although the buildings are old, the rooms are clean and maintained well and decorated with appropriate vintage furniture. It's worth reading about the significant events related to this hotel, which would make the experience extra special as you explore the hotel grounds. We stayed at a celebrity room (Bertrand Russell) and it was worth every extra cent. Breakfast was at the ball room and had a great varity of western and Chinese food. Most guests are independent travellers (about 50% foreigners) so the place is a great escape from the usual tour group crowds found in other hotels near the Bund.
