We stayed at the Seagull on the Bund, a hotel well past it’s glory days, but which, like many hotels, looked good online.
The reality was that the room was dirty, the bathroom floor was filthy. There was a power point hanging out of the wall and the soap dispenser fell off when I used it. The service, while not friendly, was okay.
However, the bed was incredible. Really comfortable. And we had a fabulous view of Shanghai across the river. Won’t stay there again, but well worth our visit just for the view.
