Review: Regal Airport Hotel Hong Kong

I had a 10 hour daytime layover at Hong Kong Airport. Typically I'd probably just "rough it" at Cathay Pacific's The Wing First Class Lounge (or now the new Qantas Lounge), though I had caught a cold in the Maldives, and I knew the fastest way to recovery would be to get some "real" sleep…

Thanks Lucky. Enjoyed reading this. We stayed at the Regal 4 years ago on an 8hr layover..just wanted sleep & shower so it was great. This time have 18hrs but still going to stay at the Regal as we land after 7pm and leave again at 2pm next day. Have brekky included & triple family room for cost $245incl taxes. Our 8yo will use the pool for sure! Love the convenience .. not after fancy

I stay at the Regal a lot, since it's so convenient to be able to walk to and from the hotel. However, the room rate is almost always at least twice what it should be, given the substandard conditions. So many of the rooms have broken AC/heat, the Wi-Fi is abysmal, the toiletries are really cheap and over-perfumed, the rooms are tiny, and it's impossible to shower without soaking the bathroom.

@John33~ you can pick up something light at the sandwich bar inside the entrance to the hotel near the concierge desk. Otherwise there are any number of cafes and 7/11 style shops in the Arrivals hall which you will pass through on the same level on leaving the Regal on your way to Departures upstairs.

Interesting comments and always what seems to be at least one troll. We just need a couple of hours sleep, get in at midnight, leave early next morning. Looks good to me from what has been posted. Only question I have is can one go outside and find any local small mom and pop type vendors for morning breakfast.

@Oliver. It is a time consuming hassle getting to either Kowloon, HK Island or nearly anywhere else if you are just going to a hotel to get some sleep and go back. The Regal Airport is a great option without wasting limited time, if the price is right. Go for it!

Mark - in 13h you can actually get to any hotel in the city, sleep 8h and go back. Night buses to Mongkok, Central and Causeway Bay run all night. US Passport holders don't need a visa.

Hi Lucky- I have an overnight layover in HKG on a mileage run I am doing. 13 hour layover Will I have to clear immigration no matter what? Do I need a Visa if I don't plan on leaving the airport? Debating between the Premium Plaza Lounges or the Regal hotel...Maybe the Marriott, but I arrive late at night. US Passport holder. Thanks for the advice!

@ Anita -- You'll have to clear immigration, so you'd need a visa if you'd otherwise need it to visit the city. What passport do you hold?

Many thanks for your detailed review. We plan to stay at this hotel but we do not know whether we need a Visum. It's just a short stay for around 15 hours and we do neither plan to leave the hotel nor to visit the city. Any advice? Many thanks in advance! Anita
