Detailed Reviews
The hotel is situated near The Bund area and Huangpu River. It is a few minute walk from the metro train line 2 located at Nanjing Road. Taxi is also very convenient. The staff are friendly and courteous although aside from the reception staff who speak acceptable English, the rest of the hotel personnel are unable to communicate in English.
As per room service, we had to go down the hotel restaurant to literally point out from the menu list the food we'd like to order. We took the hotel's buffet breakfast on our first morning in Shanghai but opted to have breakfast elsewhere for our next three days as there's nothing really special with their entrees.
The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, however, got disappointed that housekeeping to this hotel seems like just taking out the garbage, providing new set of towels and toiletries then fixing your room curtain for a superficial, tidy look. In the five days of stay, it felt like the linens were not changed and the floor were left uncleaned. Also, to our disappointment, my daughter's personal comfort pillow was missing after the second day of room cleaning. All our other valuables were intact but funny that that red, cuddly pillow was never found.
TV has no cable channel, only one English channel that replays in the morning what was shown night before. No wifi but has data cable for Internet.
Tips
When dining, Shanghainese foods are very oily, try to opt for something steamed or fresh. Also try to buy water/soda from convenience store, this is cheaper and may come in handy when only tea is served.
Must see places are the Bund and Huang Pu River (in day time and in night time), Nanjing S
Not Recommend
The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel is a short yet quite expensive trip to cross the other side of the Huang Pu river. The lights and sounds show while inside the tunnel is not worth your money.
The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum displays exceptional modern architecture. However, it should have been more interesting and educational if only all of the interactive machines/games are functional as many of them were either under maintainance or out order. Nevertheless, nearby A and P Plaza offers good bargains of phone and computer gadgets, Chinese clothing, bags, shoes and souvenirs.

A long flight from Australia and I just wanted to get to bed. Caught the MegLev from the airport and then the number two train to East Nanjing Station, use the number three exit and go to your right. It is about a five minute walk to this hotel,
Just ignore the touts who want to sell you stuff or take you to a tea ceremony (where you'll be ripped off!) and go to your hotel.
The Baron Bund hotel is set back from the road but easy to see if you are following the street numbers.
I arrived and presented my Agoda booking slip (very handy with the address written in Chinese). I was greeted at the desk and the gentleman seemed to have trouble finding my booking. The lady in charge came along, apologised for the delay, made a phone call and then everything was fine.
My room on the second floor whilst dark was large with a huge bathroom and bath to soak in after walking around town all day. A couple of English channels on the tele to listen to whilst catching up in the fast internet. The AC worked properly.
Bed was China hard but I am getting used to this and the pillows meant I slept well.
Whilst my staff contact was minimal they were unfailingly polite and pleased to see me even if they didn't speak English (nor do I speak Chinese).
Lots of small eating places nearby which are cheap.
Go to the riverside before sunset to see the sights and soak up the atmosphere. The crowds are huge so get a good spot early.
Take the Bund sightseeing tour under the river, just a short walk from the Baron Bund.
There is a lot to see and do very near here so enjoy The Baron Bund hotel for what it is, a tourist hotel that is clean and safe, and offers a good nights sleep.
When departing early in the morning the check out gentleman made sure my taxi driver knew to take me to MagLev train which I then caught to the airport.
I would happily return to this hotel.

I had posted a review giving details of the wrong debit to my credit card by this hotel. The hotel responded to my mail and acknowledged the eror in debiting my card and credited back the amount to my card. Though it took about 2 weeks for the whole thing I appreciate their effort to rectify the error and the genuine concern. So I take back my recommondation of "no no" for the hotel and recommond "yes"

The customer service at this hotel is extremely horrible!!! Our train ticket agent has tried to deliver our train tickets to the hotel multiple times but they refused to accept on our behalf.
We have called & pleaded with them over the phone but no luck. Our business train trip is immediately within the hour after checking into the hotel so there isn't any time left to go pick-up the tickets. We tried our very best to explain this to the customer service agent. But it didn't matter to them. Definitely disappointed with this hotel, EVEN before our arrival. What's a horrible experience.
With a "Business" in their "Baron Business Bund Hotel" name, you would think they try to accommodate their customers. We will make sure our company and all other business associates traveling to Shanghai aware of it and NEVER book with "Baron Business Bund Hotel" again!

Shanghai was our last stop on our 11 day trip in China and it ended with a very bad experience due to this hotel. We got to our room at around 10pm very tired from traveling. When we got to our room, the smell was HORRIBLE and we got 2 beds instead of the King bed that we've requested. I couldn't stand the smell and went to the front desk to ask for a better room. The guy was very helpful and moved us to a different room. That one didn't smell bad, but 10 minutes after we were in bed there was a very loud noise coming from a warehouse or God knows what that was, but it was very loud and was not letting us sleep. My friend couldn't take the noise, so she went to the front desk for the second time to ask the guy to change the room AGAIN cause it was impossible to sleep and we had a very busy day next day full of sightseeing so we needed to rest. We were finally moved to a noise and smell free room and moved us to a "superior room, but i must say that room was not superior at all. This is definetely a bussiness hotel, not a vacation hotel. They don't clean your room, really they don't. We had to call for someone to come in and make our beds and take some dirty dishes we left becase nobody had cleaned our room. The location is great, but i saw other hotels at the same price around there and i'm pretty sure those are better than this one. Believe me and don't book here unless you don't care about room service, noise, smelly rooms and hard beds. This left a sour taste in our mouth because we had just come from 2 real superior hotels in Beijing and Xian so we had something to compare it to and this was 100% HORRIBLE.

We choose the Baron Hotel to live near the bund for few days. It shows 4 Stars and the price was reasonable. When we arrived we found out the stars was selfgiven. Nobody from the staff speaks a word english. The food was only chinese and bought from the street vendors.The room itself was somehow like in the prison. The outlook from the window was like a view on some ruins and a hell of air conditions, many was running so it was also terrible noisy.
The matress was hard like stone.The furniture in the room was very old and partly destroyed. Actually this hotel looks like a hour-hotel for sex workers.
Considering all circumstances we decide to leave the hotel and choose a much better one which is not a problem at all.

Check carefully on the dates on these reviews--- the newer they are, the worse they get. The management must have changed. The location of this hotel is great, near the Bund. The breakfast is terrible-- very few items, and extremely unappetizing presentation. Stained table clothes. You can make yourself some white toast. They have an unheated bowl of fried eggs sitting out, but any food item that is finished is not replenished. They were out of tea at 9 am (breakfast until 10), and they could not get me tea. That was all I wanted! The first three cups I selected for my coffee were dirty. The woman working there wiped them with a filthy towel and put them back.
The staff is very unfriendly and unhelpful, and the rooms, hallways and all common areas are filthy. They keep the lights very low so that you cannot see how dirty it is. The staff does not vaccum the rooms or hall at all--- I was sitting in the hallway trying to get internet for hours. They move the vacuum cleaner behind them, but they never actually bring it into a room. The room cleaning takes less than 5 minutes per room. The walls are paper thin, and the patrons are exceptionally loud running through the hallways at all hours.
The internet does not work... no reception even though they put a booster in the room next to mine (where the internet also did not work). The conference room is unusable-- it has giant pillars in the middle, so you must have everyone sit on one side, and use one side of the room to project. If you have more than 14 people for a metting, it won't work.
The absolutely only thing going for this hotel was that it was near the Bund. Beds are really hard-- that does not bother me, but most of those I was travelling with did not like that.

Baron Business Bund hotel is a great place to stay in Shanghai.Rooms are clean and size is Ok if not big.Front desk is helpful and can converse in.Service is good although being a vegetarian I didnt have much to order other than beer.The junior staff although was not very good.They were racist against fellow Asians.They run after westerners and dont bother much about people from Asia.They run after tips only.Business room was horrible and had to wait long to get computer.Location is the plus point of this hotel,just overlooking Bund.You can go to the bund as many times as you want in a day.Very close to many other markets too.Room alloted to me had no view as rooms with view were booked.Over all its a hotel with great Location.Manager of hotel seemed to be a hard working man.
