Feedback about Regent House Hotel - City Centre Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Regent House Hotel's central location is a hit, placing guests within easy walking distance of attractions and the Omni Centre. Many appreciate the spacious rooms, some even accommodating families of five, and find the beds comfortable. While the self-check-in is generally smooth, a few guests have noted that the absence of a lift can be challenging, especially with luggage, and that cleanliness was not ideal during their stay.

Easy Access and Clean Room

easy access clean room comfortable beds

The communication before check in was very good. Access using codes to enter the hotel was easy. The room was very clean and beds are very comfortable. I stayed in a front facing, bright room of a good size. The en-suite bathroom was an acceptable size also.

The room did not feature a bathtub, it would have been a useful addition.

Location

9/10

The location is very central, and it has plenty cafes around the area. The hotel is near the city center but in a quiet and peaceful area. It made getting around very simple for my family.
