I have stayed at the Regal a number of times over the past few years when we come down from Beijing for a break. It is a good hotel but definitely not a destination hotel. It is a place to go if you are looking for clean and comfortable in a fairly good area. The rooms are pretty good and... more

Hotel is in diplomat area on Heng Shan Road. It is a beautiful street lined with trees that bloom in the spring.

But it is close... more

Having lived in Shanghai it is nice to return to this area and this particular hotel.

We stayed at this hotel in May 2006. It is in the French concession which is a lovely, characterful area. There are quite a few restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. It is a lovely area to go strolling. Right across from the hotel is a small supermarket. Although not in the business/tourist district, we took taxis and they... more

not bad, but you can find better. kinda in the middle of nowhere, so prepare to take cabs everywhere. rooms are clean, but kinda plain. bed is so so. more

there are a lot of much better choices in shanghai than this place. in need of updating. indifferent service. inconvenient location. more
