Regal Plaza Hotel & Residence Waigaoqiao

The gym had everything I needed for a solid workout, and the rooms were spacious, clean, and well kept. The hotel itself was clean too. It’s also easy to explore the area and visit local attractions from here. Breakfast and dinner both had continental, Chinese, and other regional dishes. I’d recommend the hotel for the location, comfortable rooms, good breakfast, and well-equipped gym.

The rooms are a real highlight, with things like a microwave and a compact pantry. The food is exclusively Chinese, and the breakfast area can get crowded in the morning since the hotel mostly caters to tour groups. The staff are genuinely helpful and keen to assist, although the language barrier can make communication tricky.

This seems like a suitable business hotel, though families may want to look elsewhere. The rooms are average and show signs of having gone a long time without renovation. Breakfast is served in a European style and is reasonably good, but lunch and dinner choices are limited, and the prices seem much too high. It may be better to eat elsewhere.

We had a great stay in a lovely apartment with a separate bedroom, lounge, and kitchen. The hotel itself was good, though a little worn. The air conditioning didn’t seem to be working, but I think that may have been because of the season. We could open the windows when we needed to.
