Regalia Residences Changning Shanghai

It’s perfect for a long stay especially with family Very Spacious with a full kitchenette and washing machine Location was excellent Close to the metro line which is just under the hotel A big shopping mall with KFC & BURGER KING just across the road as well as international ATMs. Excellent WI-FI connection The staff was very accommodating

Breakfast fast very limited to the same menu everyday. Hotel doesn’t offer dinner. Rooms are not thoroughly cleaned, On our check out day during packing We found a used condom packet under the bed. Lobby/Reception is not attractive and is just so small.

Location is just next to Metro line and extremely convenient. Check-in and check-out is fast and easy. Staffs at reception is helpful. Opposite to the Apartment is a shopping mall, restaurants and supermarket is available. Taking Metro Line 2 can directly reach Pudong International Airport and Hounqiao Railway Station, super convenience. Breakfast was also inclusive and convenience for us.

Suggested that hand wash soap to be provided inside the bathrooms.

Great value for money. This hotel does not appear as the typical hotel that you would expect. It is in a residential apartment high rise building complex on Tianshan Road. The reception is on the back side of one apartment building, which seemed somewhat mysterious. To get to the rooms one has to get into the back entrance of the neighboring apartment building and take the lift up to 13th floor. The corridors and the lift are a bit shabby and run down. But the positive surprise is when you enter the room: A very big room, double bed, working desk, sofa corner with tea table, fridge, kitchen and spacious shower. More like a studio apartment than an ordinary hotel room. Staff in the breakfast room was very friendly. Another big PLUS: The building is right on top of a metro station (line 2) which is very convenient if you prefer Shanghai's metro system over car traffic. Line 2 connects directly to both airports, Pudong and Hongqiao, and leads you right into the city center (People's square, Nanjing Road and Pudong). Finally, on the opposite street side there are lots of restaurants and shops (Starbucks, Burger King and some other of the usual chains).

I had some problem paying with my European debit and credit cards, which is why I paid the deposit at arrival in cash. This is a problem that you can encounter quite often in China if you don't hold a Chinese bank card or you don't have WeChat Pay or AliPay. In big hotels this is usually not a problem. However, this was a minor problem since the lady at the reception and I took this all with patience and humor.
