We stayed at the Regency Hotel for one night as it was fairly close to the Albert Hall, and what a lovely hotel to stay in! The staff were very friendly, the rooms felt as if we were the first guests to stay there as everything was brand new and we were greeted by an open fire in the reception-perfect on a winters day! Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The Regency is a good hotel for a short stay in London. It is located quite near South Kensington Station and handy to the Museums, Albert Hall and Hyde Park. While claiming that there is Wifi connection throughout the hotel many rooms do not have this. They do offer a Wifi service for a number of days, based on hours used and not a 24 hour cycle. Service and staff were excellent and welcoming.

The two great features about this hotel are it's location and the comfortable rooms.
Firstly the location is fantastic, less than a 10 min walk from South Kensington station and close by to numerous great restaurants. Also within a 10 min walk are the Victoria and Albert Museum, Science Museum, Natural History Museum and the Royal Albert Hall. We stayed here after a night out at the Royal Albert Hall and it was a nice stroll back to the hotel afterwards.
The hotel itself was very nice, the front of the hotel is nicely done and the staff on reception were pleasant and friendly.
The room was small, no sitting space, just a bed and bathroom, but this was fine as we were only there for one night. I can imagine if you were there for longer it wouldn't be suitable.
The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower in the bathroom was powerful and a good size. No banging elbows on the glass when trying to wash.

For the price and what we needed it for was ideal.

Stayed with a group of friends in 6 rooms in october 2011. Was accomendated in the new wing in a nice and modern clubroom. Breakfast okay, but almost impossible to get a beer or drink during the evening. Overall a pleasant stay
