A great place to stay, and would stay there again. The Regal Hotel was not at all what I was expecting after reading some of the negative reviews on TripAdvisor and other places. Many complained about the hotel’s night clubs’ noise reaching the upper floors, disturbing sleep. Well, truth be told, the real reason I decided to stay here was out of curiosity of seeing what those clubs were about. Getting to sleep would not be much of an issue though. Where I work, loud aircraft and unexpected explosions are quite normal, so a light bass thump is relatively benign for me. Ironically, I never made it to clubs, nor could I hear them. And this was on a Friday night.
Check-in was fast and efficient, and the employees were easy on the eyes. The room was clean and comfortable. Hot water worked right away. Climate controls, no problem. Room smelled pleasant. On the negative side, it was a bit smaller than what I was expecting, and there was a small amount of mildew (see pic) on the shower tiles near the faucets.
This area is very central. A grocery store (Spinneys) is nearby, and there is plenty of shopping within walking distance. The Al-Fahidi metro station is literally right outside the front door.
