I stayed at the MGM West Bund for two nights, and the overall experience was truly wonderful. I have to give a special shoutout to Cici. She thoughtfully helped decorate the room for my friend's birthday and even sent over a delicious little cake! The turndown service every evening was also exceptionally attentive. On the day of our check-out, it started drizzling and getting chilly in Shanghai, and she went out of her way to remind me to take an umbrella and put on an extra layer. Such a simple remark felt genuinely caring, not at all like scripted customer service.
Cici also handled our check-in, which was smooth and crystal clear with all details explained. The room was impeccably clean, and the mattress had just the right firmness—coming back to lie down after two days of exploring was so relaxing. There were plenty of pillow options, making for a very comfortable sleep. The bathroom was spacious with fast hot water and stable water pressure. The room was well-soundproofed, keeping things quiet at night. The toiletries had a subtle, very pleasant scent.
The hotel's public areas are exceptionally well-maintained with soft lighting. It's very close to the riverfront, perfect for a stroll along the river when you have free time. The bar has a quiet, cozy atmosphere, making it lovely to sit down for a drink. Every staff member we encountered greeted us with a smile, striking the right balance without being overly enthusiastic or making you feel awkward. The elevators were clean and wait times were short. The lobby fragrance was light and not overpowering, and the directional signs were clear and easy to follow. The bathroom ventilation worked well with no unpleasant odors. The towels were fluffy and dry, and the room Wi-Fi remained stable throughout. The air conditioning was easy to adjust, and the wardrobe had ample space for luggage.
During my stay, I had a small last-minute request and reached out to Cici; she replied promptly and arranged everything properly. The riverfront area isn't noisy at night, ensuring a peaceful sleep. Whenever we needed extra supplies, they were delivered promptly. The overall vibe of the hotel is relaxed and comfortable, without any sense of aloofness. The two-night stay was completely hassle-free and perfect for a short getaway. I would definitely consider staying here again next time I'm in Shanghai.
