if this is the regal east in the football stadium, think twice about staying there....not nice at all. the rooms, mines anyway, was so small and the furnishings basic, more like a travel lodge. view to the back of a stadium, shower height for a midget, bed hard, towels grey, room smelled of smoke etc etc, and it wasnt cheap... more

We had a great last minute rate on the Regal as the accommodation we were supposed to stay in became unavailable unexpectedly. I would not consider the hotel a 5-star hotel but would think it measures up very well as a 4-star. The room decor was dated and the bed was harder than usual. However, everything worked well so we... more

Exceptional & personable service from the moment I checked in for this biz trip until (I'm betting) I check out tomorrow... Breakfast, dinner and brunch buffets amazing and reasonably priced. My back was bothering me and I requested a feather pillow top (thinking it unlikely) and within 10 minutes, housekeeping had it on my bed:). I couldn't resist pushing my... more

Service is ok, better than at other Chinese hotels, but again nothing impressive. The room was quite small, and the decor a bit passe', but all in all functional and clean. I liked the local Chinese restaurant's food, but I am sure there are better options a few minutes from the hotel. I found this hotel too expensive (RMB 1200+15%... more

Have been in quite a few hotels in Shanghai, but since a local friend recommended this hotel to us, we have stayed here twice. It is a clean haven in a nice neighbourhood. The staff is friendlier than in most Shanghai hotels. The rooms are quite large for a Shanghai hotel. The bed was enormous! The only problem I had... more

Stayed for four nights in June 2008. Was attending an international conference. The room was nice, although the bed was a little hard and not particularly comfortable. The staff was polite and reasonably helpful. The food at the restaurant was good, although similar food could be found for about 1/3 the price about a block away at a local Chinese... more

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. The hotel is in front of the Shanghai International Tennis Center and near a lot of pretty old houses in Shanghai. I am a regular in the hotel because of proximity to my offices. But it is close... more

Having lived in Shanghai it is nice to return to this area and this particular hotel. For those wanting the hussle and bussle of Nanjing Road / The Bund head for JW Marriott / Le Meridien etc, however this hotel is in the middle of the old French Concession / diplonatic area and has lots of lovely bars and restaurants... more
