Regency Hotel

I love this hotel and I would definitely recommend to my friend!
My wife and I traveled to London for our anniversary and stayed for 5 days.
Our First impression is that the hotel is very elegant, nice and clean and the staffs were very helpful. We never been to London before so we asked so many questions about where to go and they were very patience answered all of our questions.
The lobby, our room, corridor were very nice and clean. Keyless entrance to our room, romantic ambient lighting, quiet neighborhood made us fell in love with London.
Every morning we had breakfast at the hotel and we want to say thank you to their manager for the warm greetings.
This hotel is very close to Gloucester and south Kensington station. Around the hotel there are many restaurant and supermarket therefore a very convenient location.
The only cons about this hotel is that their internet always got disconnect, I need to call their receptionist to restart the server in order to work, but that wasn’t a big problem to us.
We went there during end of June so the rate for each night is around 200usd.

We had a company meeting at the hotel for 6 days. Everyone stayed in the hotel and continental breakfast and internet were included. If you have to pay for the internet it ranges about 10 pounds and no restriction on the amount of devices connected from what I understand.
Pros:
–EARL! he was amazing on being flexible around our meeting rooms set up and bringing tea and coffee when requested.
–My room was nice and cozy and had all the amenities I could want. I liked the modern bathroom.
–The breakfast was nice, and you could upgrade if you wanted something hot.
–The tea was good
–The lobby and overall feel of the place was clean and modern with a vintage touch
–LOCATION was amazing, just a short walk to two different underground stops and an amazingly huge and charming park (Hyde park)
–Reception was very accommodating when I needed some items printed.
–My hairdryer broke and they were quick to send someone to replace it completely.
–Every lunch we had was FANTASTIC. My favorite meal was a grilled sea bass and mixed mushroom risotto. The soups were also very good everyday.
Cons:
— Many people complained their room was too small
–Sometimes we had issues with the air in the meeting rooms. Way too cold or way to hot.
–NO ONE SPOKE ENGLISH, and if they did there were some communication errors for sure. I thought I was in London? lol
–There was one gentleman (the only one I think spoke good English) in the restaurant that was very rude and would roll his eyes at us when we requested items
–The bartenders were sooooo slow. They had to get out calculators and took so long to add up our bill. They took a long time to make our drinks if it wasn’t pouring a beer.
–Multiple days I had my do not disturb light on in my room and yet the maid still came to clean it. I thought this was very strange and sort of intrusive.
–Speaking of intrusive, on two different instances employees of the hotel would just walk into my room while I was in there without knocking or knocking only once and quickly opening the door. Weird…
–no refrigerator
–The AV and sound in the meeting rooms was not the greatest.
–Kinda pricey, if I wasn’t hear for work, not sure If I would stay here.

The Regency is a nice hotel, I’m not sure if it’s worth the price though. Upon checking in the staff did not mention that in order for the lights to turn on you had to insert your room card in a little radio transmitter thing which seems like it should be one of the first things a guest is informed of.
Of course being in Europe the hallways are tiny but they’re so small that two people can’t walk side by side let alone get by someone while they’re carrying a suitcase.
The floor plan is not favorable and doesn’t make sense, to get to the second floor you have to take an elevator and then two more flights of stairs. Pretty stupid.
Room accommodations are fine, nothing spectacular but not bad in any sense. However the cleaning staff has left a sponge and a used wet paper towel in the shower two out of the four days staying here which is pretty disgusting.
The cleaning staff also did not take notice of the do not disturb sign that we lit when we wanted to sleep in. We also locked the door but they unlocked it anyway, that was really obnoxious because theres buttons that you press to leave messages outside your door and they clearly didn’t work.
The location is really nice and near lots of great restaurants and beautiful buildings, not far from the tube at all either. But altogether I would not stay here again.

Für 2 Nächte hatte ich das Hotel gebucht. Die 2. war der absolute Alptraum. Nachtruhe war nicht möglich. Hämmernde Bässe und die Lautstärke der Disco-​Party bis 1 Uhr waren eine Zumutung. Mehrere Beschwerden ab 23 Uhr nutzten nichts,.
So etwas habe bisher in einem sogenannten 4 Sterne Hotel noch nicht erlebt.

Love this hotel in the centre of south Ken. Although pricey, you can often get web deals which aren’t bad.
Breakfast was expensive and not worth it for me compared to the cheaper and tastier options on the road nearby.
Big bonus for me — the terrace — wifi was 40meg! I’m so used to crap hotel wifi but it was lightening today.

It’s hard to determine which hotel would be the best. I chose this hotel based on Expedia reviews. I’m not confident that Unilocal has caught on in Europe.
This hotel is located within a short walking distance from the South Kensington station. We took the Piccadilly Line (Tube) from Terminal 3 at the Heathrow airport towards Cockfoster. It was about 20 – 30 minute ride.
Be sure to print out booking confirmation if you’ve booked through Expedia as the hotel didn’t have our reservation. The hotel’s website states that there’s a 5 pound per use of its business center. However, each time we used it, we were provided access by a staff member and there was no fee.
I wouldn’t recommend the hotel’s restaurant, which is located on the lower level. We did order room service on few occasions. The pizza was very good. The Caesar salad is doused in dressing, but comes with a huge piece of salmon if you order the Salmon version.
The room is quiet and clean. It’s small compared to some of the hotels in the US. I would say it’s comparable to hotels in New York and San Francisco.

I just got back from a trip to London and we stayed at the Regency and loved it! I’d read a lot of reviews that said the room was tiny, but perhaps the people who wrote that had never stayed in a hotel in a major city. I thought it was comparable to a NYC hotel room, and my boyfriend and I found it comfortable. (We stayed in a single bed room with a small sitting room.) I also thought the room was extremely clean — and I check nooks and crannies because I’m a germaphobe.
The staff was nice, and were friendly when we asked a few simple questions.
Another great plus — the hotel is only a few short blocks from a Picadilly stop, which is super convenient for a lot of major London attractions. There are also a number of cute restaurants right near the hotel.

This review isn’t about staying at this rather fancy hotel right in the middle of South Kensington. Not that I would complain if someone wanted to shell out for that privilege on my behalf.
Instead my ex-​uni choir threw a rather fancy dinner in one of the function rooms. Directed to the free cloakroom on entry, downstairs to the champagne reception in the lovely hotel bar accompanied by a string quartet, it was a wonderful start to a fantastic evening. Food and service was excellent. However, there’s always the one stickler — the hotel drinks prices. £16 for a bottle of house wine: o. If you use your initiative there’s a waitrose local around the corner ;). Anyways we have found out that you can loudly sing queen and various a capella numbers on a Friday night :).

poor service, tiny room, unclean, overpriced and very noisy.
