About
Riverview Hotel On The Bund - Shanghai
Riverview Hotel On The Bund sits on South Zhongshan Road, the main road running along the Huangpu River. The hotel’s 200 rooms range from budget doubles to king rooms, some of which look out over the water. A 5-minute walk reaches the old town and the South Bund fabric market, with the illuminated Bund promenade and Pudong’s skyscrapers in opposite directions.
Guests consistently praise the efficient staff, clean and spacious rooms, and the hotel’s practical extras like in-room Wi-Fi, a mini-bar and an electric kettle. Parking is available on site, which is a genuine advantage in central Shanghai. It’s not a five-star address, but for a straightforward stay near the river, it delivers on the essentials.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Location right on the river — Riverview Hotel sits on Zhongshan Road, the main road along the Huangpu River, placing the Bund on one side and the old town on the other. Guests mention a 5-minute walk to the old town and fabric market, and a 10-minute walk to Yu Garden’s old street.
- Clean, spacious rooms — Multiple guests note that the rooms are generously sized, well furnished and kept clean, with some newly furnished units. The interior is described as luxurious and elegant.
- Helpful, English-speaking staff — Guests repeatedly praise the staff for being efficient, amiable and fluent in English, with several noting they went above and beyond to assist with requests.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Mixed cleanliness in bathrooms — While most guests found rooms clean, one review specifically mentioned the toilet was not clean and there was an odour when opening the shower door. Overall rating of 6.9 and area average of 8.2 suggest this may not be a top-tier pick.
- Location may be a walk from some sites — The hotel is well placed for the Bund and old town, but some attractions like Nanjing Road pedestrian area are a bit further – around a 10-minute walk. Guests wanting to be in the very heart of the action might need to factor in the extra distance.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
