What guests think

Reviews of The Regency Hotel highlight an ongoing refurbishment with clear contrasts between modernised public areas and older, worn bedrooms, plus frequent noise from events or building works that can disturb sleep and affect comfort for some guests.

Staff are often described as friendly and helpful, though experiences vary and some guests report poor responses to issues and unexpected parking fees. Room quality is inconsistent, with many noting dated decor, maintenance problems and uncomfortable mattresses, while a number of refurbished rooms are reported as clean, modern and spacious. Food, bars and the brasserie generally receive praise, but breakfast consistency and coffee machines occasionally disappoint. Overall, expect a convenient NEC base at budget-friendly prices, with room standards varying.

Facilities

Modern bar and restaurant areas are praised, but leisure facilities (pool/sauna) have been closed during refurbishment and feel dated when open. The lift is often out of order and on-site parking carries an extra charge.

Hotel and room were to be expected for the price. The hotel is a no frills typical 3 star. The food was nice and the bar area has been done up well. The lift was not working and as I was told is very ‘temperamental’ so do not expect it to be working when you stay.

Staff were all friendly and helpful we only ate at breakfast, but had to asks for cups glasses, bowls etc.. they seemed to run out quickly. Only saw 1 lady on the breakfast servicing trying to do everything. Highlight of this hotel is the Sauna, swimming pool etc . Absolutely lovely. The hotel is under referbishment at the moment.

Rooms were filthy first room we got bed was full of small black hair hate to think where it was from. Then we got to our second room which was meant to be an upgrade for the inconvience the only difference was that it was a bigger room and a king size bed in there which was like sleeping on wood slats and pillows was like cheese slices. Even the corridor carpets looked like they had bleach leaked all over it. outdated and just generally falling to pieces. have to pay 20 pound to keep your car on there car park even though your a customer staying there. See pictures for more. Would never stay again.

The building is lovely and has so much potential. Sadly, the room decor is very poor, of particular note the carpet hadn't been vacuumed, there were crumbs and toenail clippings on the floor! Thankfully the beds were clean, and comfortable. The furniture was very worn and damaged. Further, the fire alarm went off twice late at night. We were unsure what to do as it stopped after a minute but no-one came around to explain. We mentioned it when leaving and the lady laughed and said "oh yes, it does that sometimes". We were not impressed and sadly would not stay again.

The room was very hot (it was not a hot summers day), the mattress was cheap and uncomfortable. The dust around the carpet edges was thick with dust. Staff were lacking in customer service. No information was given at breakfast as to how it worked, had to ask for a plate. I was disappointed as I booked this hotel after it being recommended by a friend. I won’t be returning.

Booked a twin room for 2 nights for myself and my daughter who had to visit a local clinic. Upon arrival the outside of the hotel looked great and very promising. Sadly the room was a massive let down. I cannot emphasise enough how disgusted we were with the condition of the room, massive amount of mould in the bathroom, to wall against one of the beds had plaster peeling off and falling on the bed. There was construction work during the day which was not mentioned and made any rest during the day impossible. Regarding the mould I am very sorry but you can buy a mould remover spray for a couple of pounds so no justification to let the room in that state; The same goes for the plaster crumbling, it does not take much to fix this. On top of room condition I ended up with bites after one night sleep which I am certain comes from the bedding. After all that we ended up leaving a day early disgusted by the lack of basic standard and cleanliness. I emailed the hotel a day later to explain but had no apology whatsoever and definitely no refund for at least the one night that we left early. This is not the standard you would expect for a hotel advertised as 3 star and charging over £80 per night plus £10 parking. What a disgrace.

There were some sort of fans going all night. Cobwebs in the room I could nearly swing from, not sure the bedding was clean, did not really have that “fresh” feel. Then to top it off no hot water for a shower

Poor hotel which has not reinvested evidently in years. Lift was broken with a piece of paper that looked like it had been there a while. Beds are so worn there is no support whatsoever. And the highlight, mould all over the bathroom as evidenced from the picture. Should be shut down for health reasons.

the rooms were cold, damp covered in mould and uncomfortable! i have asthma and ended up really struggling due to the mould that was throughout the room. the bathroom had black mould all over the ceiling and the small hit you when you walked in... 2 days later i have a chest infection from the conditions!! the room was super cold and was a struggly to get the heating working, this coupled with thin flimsy bedding where i had to double over the duvet in order to get any heat in me and sleep fully clothed!! yes it was snowing outside. However, i paid for a comfortable room with heating otherwise i would have had a better night sleeping in my car which i did consider when i woke up shivering! the only good thing about this hotel was the restaurant food and the lovely receptionist everything else was dire and i wouldn't stay there again!

I walked in to hotel to a clean reception, however two stairs have stains on them. The rooms didn’t get any better. The bath had no plug . Toilet roll holder was missing. The room was very run down. I slightly leant on the bed for it to move and I near fell. Bathroom is shocking. Skirting board around bath is peeling and however did the filling needs retraining. Other doors in the corridors were loud upon closing. That woke me up during the night. The hotel is in need of a desperate makeover. The staff on reception desk were very friendly. I only booked due to a have a cheap room as it’s close to the nec. I’ve stayed in other 3 star hotels and they weren’t as bad as this hotel.

It's actually a nice hotel, and you can clearly see they are working on it. The room was average. No luggage rack so case had to go on the bed (and there was room for one). There was no fan (it was incredibly warm). No hooks in the bathroom to hang wet towels from. The blind on the window barely covered the space, so it was very bright as soon as the sun came in. The tea / coffee tray was ok (not a great deal of milk, so enough for one cup), but coffee wasn't very nice anyway. There are no bottles of water left in the room. The single beds were ok. Very wobbly (like jelly when you sat down), and a bit too soft for my taste. What spoilt it for us is that out of 110 rooms, we were placed in room 147, which is the far side of the hotel. We were woken at 7 am with car/van doors banging and loud voices. By 7.30 am, the room above us was clearly being refitted, so the various sounds of hammers, spades scarping the floor, rubble falling .. as you can imagine, not happy. When we left, a room at the end of our corridor (4 rooms up) was clearly getting a refit too. When we asked if the hotel was busy, to place us in that room, with that work going on, the receptionist didn't commit to anything and said 'how awful'. I think staff should be aware of what's going on, and we should never have been placed in that room.

We stayed in a new refurbished room, whilst this as nice, there was no storage space in bathroom, we had to put towels on floor. There was on 1 towel which is not acceptable for a couple and had to ask reception for second towel. The bed was a very small double and was a spring mattress so these dug into my side, making it a very uncomfortable sleepless night. Workman started drilling at 7am in the morning in the room either above or adjacent, again not acceptable.

This hotel has a regular LOUD Friday night disco until MIDNIGHT! I was 3 floors up and with windows closed, felt the rumble of the boom boom boom, heard the music and the DJ talking, and then at midnight loud groups leaving and waiting for taxis for the next 15 minutes. Even a drunk bloke singing loudly to himself. Outrageous! Poor night's sleep, and I will ask for a refund via hotels.com. I have several videos for evidence. Oh. And the lift was out of order to top it all off.

I didn't expect too much, as the hotel was a cheap option as a stop on business. It managed to deliver below my low expectation. The first interaction that you have is to be charged £10 for parking. I searched online for a hotel with parking, and I would likely have chosen a different option. The first thing that you experience at this hotel is a mugging. The room was nothing like the pictures. Dated, awful furniture and a bed that might has passed as a trampoline. Just dismal. There were doors banging until the small hours, and this started again in the morning. No soft close mechanisms. The large gap at the bottom of the door ensured that light came in from the corridor so the room was never dark. In the morning the shower didn't work so I had to have a bath, but at least the water was warm. Nothing about this hotel makes me ever want to go back. As someone else has noted you are not asked how your stay was when you check out. They know.

Next day we came back and our room keys were disabled, spoke to reception and the general manager came put and said the reason he did it is because we left a review with expedia!! Yes i got irate because we could access our room to get medication or pur sons milk, we were then told to leave! Lost money and lost time with a family member qho is terminally ill.

I was put in a room at far end of building with no wifi and a bed direct from an overcrowded Ecudoarian jail cell. The mattress was over 40 year old (I sell beds - I know) Breakfast is the most undercooked sausage and bacon ever. A VILE place with simply the worst receptionist in history .

Lovely hotel. Fairly inexpensive. Very convenient - short distance from major roads but didn't feel like it. Clean but basic. Looked like it had seen better days - clear signs of people trying hard to keep the place clean and fresh but it had a TV from the 80s and few comforts in the room. The only thing that would put me off staying again is the mattress which was the worst I've ever slept on. My partner weighs around 90kg - he lay down and sank into the bed, causing a massive dip. I weigh around 50kg and was left trying to sleep on the other side which then sloped at 30 degrees. I kept rolling back into my partner. It would have been funny if I wasn't so tired. Great pizza in the restaurant downstairs. Friendly staff.

This is the 2nd time we've stayed at the Regency for a business trip. This time around we booked it last minute as our original hotel in Coleshill was awful and we had enjoyed our previous stay here. There is plenty of parking on site, they've added more electric car ports since the last time, even though we don't have one it's good to see. The staff are very friendly, rooms are clean and spacious with comfy beds, fresh towels and decent sized TV. The attached bar and restaraunt is fantastic, a little pricey but expected from a hotel bar and restaraunt. The food however is amazing so it definitely felt worth the price again with friendly staff.
