Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a peaceful location close to Gatwick airport. The rooms are spacious but a little tired. The service is friendly and helpful with a great breakfast included. The dining experience is good with pre-ordering to reduce waste. The facilities are well-maintained.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and tidy with a good-sized TV, but there was a lot of dust around, and the bathroom mirror had someone else's hair on it. The overall cleanliness was lacking, and the hotel seemed a bit tired. However, considering the low cost of the booking, it was somewhat expected.
The hotel is set in a very quiet area, very rustic and traditional, providing a quietness that is hard to believe and set in superb grounds. It looks nice from the outside but feels very tired. Close to a Tesco for supplies and a couple of fast-good restaurants. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds and nice bedding but felt very tired at times in the middle of the room. The service was a mixed bunch, but some staff went out of their way to assist and were very friendly and capable. The dining experience was very good with fresh fish and not rushed, allowing for pre-orders the night before. Facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is a bit outdated and could use some modernizing, but it's in a peaceful location with friendly service. The rooms are not in the best condition, but the staff makes up for it with great hospitality. The dining experience is pleasant with quality ingredients, and the facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were kept clean but had unpleasant smells and lingering smoke. The service was exceptional and accommodating, making the stay lovely. The location was good for the airport but felt tired. The dining experience had its ups and downs.
My stay at The Regency Hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although spacious with a large bed and a twin, felt more like a second-rate Travel Lodge. It was located above reception and close to the stairs, making it quite noisy in the mornings with people coming and going. I would recommend requesting a quieter room away from this area next time.
The hotel is conveniently close to Gatwick, ideal for an overnight stop before traveling. The rooms, while spacious, could use some decoration before the high season. The service is accommodating, especially Iffy. The location offers lovely walks yet remains near Gatwick. Dining was pleasant with a variety of choices, and the facilities are satisfying with ample parking.
I found the hotel to be very convenient for our early flight from Gatwick airport, with spacious rooms for our group of three. However, the noise from the reception area in the morning was a bit bothersome. The service was friendly, and the dining experience was great value for money. The location was ideal for our needs, despite needing a bit of cleaning, and the facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable with a large bed, but there was a noticeable damp smell. The noise from the bar below was quite bothersome until late at night. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, especially considering it was for an 80th birthday celebration. The location, while picturesque from the outside, lacked some visual appeal for longer stays, but its proximity to our event venue and Gatwick Airport was convenient. The dining experience was fantastic and included in the price, offering great seasonal products. Despite its drawbacks, the facilities were well-maintained and added value to the stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, were slightly shabby with noticeable dirt in the corners. The service was friendly and accommodating, although a bit slow at times. The location was convenient, set in beautiful grounds, close to Gatwick Airport, and provided a quiet ambiance. The dining experience was excellent, offering a tasty selection, and the facilities were satisfactory.
