I previously shared my disappointing experience at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai here in September 2024 (scroll down if you’re interested), and I hadn’t returned since. Last week, while attending an event in the area, I decided to give the hotel a second chance to see if anything had improved. Unfortunately, the issues persist. After my earlier complaint, the Assistant Front Office Manager, Angelia Gan, emailed me a sincere apology and offered a complimentary upgrade to a Mandarin River View Room with daily breakfast on my next visit. Upon check-in last week, I initially forgot about the offer, and the front desk processed everything as a standard booking. When I later mentioned it, the staff member checked the records, acknowledged my complaint from 1.5 years ago, but appeared unaware of the promised compensation. He then unwillingly “upgraded” me to a basic room on a higher floor (thank you so much! I didn’t know a higher floor is an upgrade!) —no river view, no breakfast included. Ironically, this room felt even more basic than the one I had in 2024. It was only after a more senior Western manager (possibly Italian, named Luigi) intervened and inquired that I was eventually moved to a larger room. I didn’t get my complimentary breakfast, btw. My disappointment isn’t about missing out on breakfast or a specific upgrade—it’s about the apparent lack of follow-through and care for guest promises. This experience falls far short of the legendary service Mandarin Oriental is known for worldwide. I promise I will not be giving Mandarin Oriental Pudong a third chance. Tomorrow I’m checking into Mandarin Oriental Singapore and genuinely look forward to that stay!
