- 1000 bonus points
- Free welcome drinks (up to 100CNY value per person, 2 people)
- Free breakfast in the hotel restaurant (which was delicious, eggs on order and the eggs benedicts was delicious and served with very nice hash browns)
Similar to many we had issues with the taxi driver, we were dropped on the bund (as we knew where the hotel was and pointed it out) only to find reception was the other side of the building which is a long walk away. However the bellboy took our bags so it wasn't too bad and by the time we reached the main desk the checkin staff knew our name and were waiting for us, we were offered checkin in the room but skipped it.
I'd come back here in a heartbeat with my free night certificates. The room itself included welcome desert sweets (light meringues), biscuits and little white chocolate balls. In addition one thing I especially liked about the room was the electronics - the LCD screen next to the bed controlled lights/blinds/room buttons, and the toilet was Japanese style (heated with lots of magic buttons to press) and in addition - a TV in the mirror in the bathroom.
Is breakfast now included for diamonds at waldorf or is this just this hotels policy. We are staying here next week on a points plus cash rate so included breakfast would be an unexpected and pleasant surprise.
