I have decided to try this hotel instead of myoriginal booking at Hemmingways. I was shocked at the "bad experience". 1) There is no dedicated shower but one above the bath with shower curtauins that is not even long enough to keep the water from falling outside the bath. Bath showers is a no-no! 2) My organisation had to pay... More

I attended a function at this hotel. The catering was top class as usual and the signage was great. The hotel deserves a little revamp in decor now , as it is being ursuped by the sister hotel next door. My complaint is, on arrival at function i parked at the southern entrance in pouring rain, little knowing that at... More

I spent here four nights on my business trip in a room on the first floor with a view to the ocean. The room was spacious with king size bed that was comfortable. There was also a small desk with chair in the room. Airconditioning worked well, but I had a broken room safe so I could not use it.... More

East London is not an easy city: it is located at the Indian Ocean, giving you a nice overview. But at the same time it is a harbor city with a lot of crime. The Regent hotel gives an excellent overview over the Ocean: you just have to cross the road and you are at the beach. But to my... More

Returned for fourth time on business, for three nights. Was moved at my request, with no trouble, from a smaller, clean but back room with no view, to vast clean and pleasant room with sea view on the front. Attentive front of house and room staff. Clean, pleasant and spacious lobby for receiving guests. Fast, efficient room service for drinks.... More

Couch in terrible condition, shows dirt marks all over and stained. When sitting down, you fall into a hole with your back hurting against a plank behind you. Carpet torn on edges to bath/bedroom. Carpet shows dirt marks. Running bath water, shower activates by itself spraying all over. Booked into a Suite but surely could have got better value for... More

The hotel is situated at the beach front. This sounds better than it is. The beach is dark and the area around the hotel is surely not the best one. The hotel bar has seen better days but was cheap and the quality of the food was good. The room was clean, the bed was okay but the air conditioning... More

My stay with this hotel seemed like a comedy of errors. It started with the fact that the hotel entrance is quite deceiving, Once you drive in you think you're at the entrance however when you finally find the reception (on the first floor) you are asked to please bring your car around the side so that they can assist...
