Room was in average condition, and very warm. AC units struggled to keep it cool and it was only spring.Apartment needs to be updated as it looks aged. Beds were comfortable. Sitting room furniture is very outdated and so is the large window in the master bedroom that looks into the bathroom. Location is good with food and shopping within a 10-15 minute walk.

There is a lot of construction in the area, so it is noisy. The hotel is dirty, housekeeping is poor. From what we could see there was no second pool, the big pool has a roof which covers more than half of it, which they perhaps class as indoor and outdoor. The small, isolated part of the pool where the stools are was completely unattended, dirty with dead bugs and cigarette butt inside. Reception is not staffed 24/7, the receptionist leaves at 5pm and if you are lucky you can get hold of the security guard after that.

Great for the price

Location was great, room was the nicest i’ve stayed in any country or state. For the price you get a huge kitchen, living room, bathroom with a huge tub, 2 outside decks and a hot tub outside. gym is open and a nice pool to swim in. the beach is down the street and a bunch of food is near the area

A reasonably priced accommodation. Very old interior and rooms. But has all the basic facilities you would need. NO iron or ironing board available. Reception refused to supply. Breakfast was okay. You can rent a motorbike for one week at 270 baht per day. Very nice sized pool, but not open until 08:30hrs. Boat Ave and nearby Villa Market easily walkable. No restaurant or bar. They do have good long-term rates for one month or more.

This is a bare and basic hotel. Nothing nice or luxurious about. We were so disappointed we lost all of our money and went to another nearby hotel. The photos are much nicer than I’m person.

The Regent - Excellent Accommodation

I have now stayed at this hotel on several occasions. It is in a great location, very stylish with chilled atmosphere. It is walking distance to restaurants and shopping centre. A short scooter ride to the beach. Very clean and well run establishment. Lovely staff and all amenities supplied. Large rooms, well set out with very comfortable beds. Rates very reasonable too. I will be stay again for sure.

Facilities were good, hotel was safe and secure. The rooms can do with better lighting and air-conditioning control. Other than that, overall a pleasant experience.

spacious room and close to shops

we enjoyed our 5 nights of stay. walking distance to shops and restaurants. if you want to go to the beach is a bit far we pay 200 in the taxi just to get to the beach.

the staff are nice and anyone can go straight to the elevator without noticing the reception. the bed is the hardest bed we slept. the main door of our room is hard to lock. i cannot lock myself even if were inside or outside.
but we love the location most.

Hotel close ot Ironman

Great location, very spacious rooms,a couple of small things that could be improved, the bed was way too hard perhaps a matress topper would help and the tap in the main bath would take an hour to fill it and a broom to sweep the floor. The positives are location and the size of the rooms.

Extremely unpleasant stay

This is probably the worst hotel I ever stay by far. The reception is unbelievably unfriendly. The only word she ever say is \"NO\". Everything you ask, she will only say no. The chamber maid will dash in to the room without knocking the door and even if you hang the \"Do not service\" sign. I'm Glad I only get to stay for one night. Highly not recommended if you are looking for a pleasant holiday.

Poor Hotel, not even 1 star never mind 4!!

No facilities as stated! No ironing board which i needed as i was there for a wedding! The service is poor although a couple of the ladies were polite during the day! The chap on in the night sits there with his head on a pillow and shouts if you approach! Disgusting!! The area is nice with very friendly people in the bars and restaurants ! The restaurant was closed and only open for what looked like a poor breakfast. Will never stay again!!

A wonderful surprise!

For a first time visit to Thailand I really don't think that we could have done better!Firstly I must mention the amazing overall hospitality, kindness and good humour of all Thai people. This included the vast majority of the staff members. Shockingly uninterested by tips and constantly desirable to help I must first mention the man at the night desk, my wonderful Marie in reception and the charming Mrs Wan. I sincerely thank them for trying to make our stay as agreable as possible! All I can say is that they suceeded! The room as I said was large, modern, with an emperor size bed, cooking and eating facilities, a confortable balcony AND an open air jacuzzi !! Ideally situated 15 min walk from the beach and 5 min from a wide collection of restaurants bars and supermarkets we were really spoiled for choise. 4 restaurants stood out: Online, Moon and above all Sunset and its neighbour beautiful, clean, inexpensive Thai food with cocktails at the Margarita tuc-tuc! Search NO further. On the down side the breakfast, like the breakfast staff was not good and very often cold. However it is not included in the room price and can be replaced very easily 5 minutes down the road at any shop/resto. Yes the staff dont speak very good english but I assure you what they lack in fluency they more than make up for in service and care. We had some teething problems with housekeeping which were completely resolved after a patient meeting with all concerned. The result was total satisfaction !

exactly what we needed for one night stay

We stayed one night as a stopover as the hotel was close to the airport. The hotel was good value and suited our needs.
Pros: Large room with good amenities, close to the airport, quich check in and check out.
Cons: Poor breakfast, hotel had no atmospher, just Chinese tourists.

Large tour groups so you won't get to sleep in...

Ok, the hotel itself is very comfortale, i.e. the room facilities, cleanliness, spaciousness and many rooms have very nice views...of the hills (NOT the beach) which is still pleasant. The problem is that, at least in block B - and I don't expect block A to be different, is tiled and the hotel room doors are not sealed nor soundproofed hence even normal speech from guests leaving or returning from outings can be heard clearly several doors down/up. The hotel room doors don't close smoothly and each time they are used make a loud reverberating noise.This hotel caters to large tour groups and often guests from these groups simply do not realise that they are being so loud. They will wake you up each morning at about 6:45am as they are getting to breakfast (7am) before they go out for the day in their tour buses. The hotel cleaning staff makes their own racket right after as they tidy up their rooms. Sound proofing between rooms is poor so you're likely to hear people next door even though they're not being so loud. If you're an early morning person and don't mind getting to sleep till at least 11pm then the hotel is actually quite good.
The other concern is the distance to Bangtao beach, it's a solid 20 minutes on foot under the hot Thai sun and humidity so I would strongly recommend getting closer especially if you have kids. The pool at the hotel is fine and the gym facilities excellent though bring your own music and water and towel.

The actual hotel is nice, but it won't be for long because they are not maintaining it. The service was really poor, I'm still waiting on a reply to the email I sent asking about airport pick up. Taxi drivers do not know where the hotel is, and since they never answer the telephone, you'll likely have a hard time getting their from the airport. The swimming pool was pretty dirty, and don't plan on sleeping in, it is poorly constructed and very noisy.
The jacuzzi bath was great!

Will not go back.

The pool was cloudy dirty. The bed was really hard, as were pillows.
Breakfast was horrible. There are some really good restaurants close by. Need a car or taxi for best results. Beach not close.
Front desk not so friendly. The maids were excellent. The best part of our stay. Room was huge, Jacuzzi nice, too bad the hard mattress had to ruin such a long stay. We would not go into the dirty pool, not once. Shame.

This hotel is rated as a 4 & 5 star hotel but they do not have all the advertised functions activities in place. I have seen a hotel when guest check in want to leave the same day. The Anex tour guide quit working at the hotel due to so many complaints as they are selling it as a 5 star hotel.

Nice rooms, but basic facilities

My room was HUGE, but on the ground floor - which meant bugs!
I don't think the maids are very good at cleaning. They will change your sheets/give a quick sweep but I had cobwebs and a dead grasshopper in my bathroom throughout my whole stay. I also had a few small centipedes in my bathtub upon arrival. My friends did not have these bug issues though, and they were staying on the 4th floor....

The hotel is not that close to the beach i.e. still a good 15 min walk, and that's if you know where you are going!
Its in a nice enough area though, lively with tourists but not jam-packed like Patong would be.

One night business stay

I didn't like the first room that opened directly to the pool, but they moved me without a fuss. New room was better, nice view, comfy bed, good shower. It's basically a condo rather than a hotel, so no coffee or tea etc in the room. I got back late and the restaurant closed at 9pm, but they opened it back up and made some food for me which was nice of them and the chicken tasted good. Overall for the price I paid it was ok.

Персонал приветливый, завтраки нормальные одно и то же но вкусно (овощи, ветчина, сосиски, яйца, тосты, кофе) мебель чуть уставшая, но уютно и все работает. В отеле чисто, уборка хорошая. Жили с выходом в бассейн, тишина, водичка чистая и хорошая, температура идеальная, не горячая не холодная.Вай фай нормальный и в номере и по территории. Кстати тренажерный зал вообще можно сказать его нет, там такая духота что позаниматься просто нереально. До моря пешком было бы далеко, но мы на байке, поэтому 2 минуты с ветерком - супер) Третий раз на Банг Тао, все ухоженное, чистота, пляж конечно идеальный, людей мало, но эти медузы и живность в море все портит, купаешься и тебя все время жалят при чем все три раза, видимо вода здесь застаивается и живности много. Скорее всего сюда больше не поедем.

Keine 4 Sterne - 1 Stern ist zu viel

- Der Raum ist total schmutzig und am Spiegel befindet sich Schimmel.
- Die Türen zu den Zimmern fallen ins Schloss, als würde es ein Erdbeben geben, was zu Folge hat, dass man - bei Gästen die um 6 aufstehen - direkt mit aufwachen wird. Das gilt für den GESAMTEN Gang!
- Das Personal ist unfreundlich und unfähig mit Beschwerden umzugehen.
- Das Frühstück ist - naja Reis mit Gemüse - dürftig bestückt.
- Die Lage ist alles andere als gut, weit entfernt vom Strand oder von Restaurants und im Hotel gibt es auch keine Küche am Abend.
- Das Thema mit der Klimaanlage: Entweder gab es arktische Temperaturen mit eisigen Winden oder ohne Klima eine schweißtreibende Sauna.
- Zu guter Letzt darf man sich dann noch über andere Gäste im Zimmer freuen, also riesige Küchenschaben. (4 Stück gesichtet, die dann unter dem Bett übernachteten)

Ganz großes NEIN zu diesem Hotel!!!!

PS: das Bett war groß...

Don`t expect much.

I booked for three weeks, prepaid. Was arriving a few days late and left them a message that I was going to be late. When I arrived in the morning they told me I had to wait until 2.30 before check in.
( Even if I had paid for the three previous nights )

It could have been a good experience, but the hotel management has decided on being a group hotel for come -and -go tourist buses and not a quality hotel with good service. The staff is friendly but very incompetent with trivial, basic concerns. Only one elevator so the cleaners have their stuff in there often. They do not care about the dont disturb/ make up my room. I am not sure if they even know what it means. They would clean the room at their own convenience every day day. So if I was out for 8 hours with the make up my room sign on the door, it would still not be done when I came back. I would put up the dont disturb sign and they would unlock and jump in. If I was in, they simply put a few towels utside the door. At the pool there are maybe 10 sun beds, but only 5 cushions. The hotel is very dirty when you start looking. The bathtub on the terrace does not have warm water. Its for show.
Aircon started leaking. I told them to please fix it while I was out in errands. On my return the maintenance guy would start working. No wifi in the room. And they did not care.

Location is good for restaurants, but far from the beach.
The Regent have the possibility to become a good hotel if the owners wants to.

Helt OK hotell

Bodde här 5 nätter. Ankommit vid 12:00 am men fick inte checka in den tiden först. Men efter vi frågade om det finns något alternativ att checka in tidigare fått vi positiv svar, fått betala 500 bat (i kontant utan att få kvitto på den betalning) och fått nyckel till rum 410. Rummet var något sliten: det var håll i golvet i garderoben och saknades både stång och gallrar. Det var väldigt svagt belysning både i rummet och i badrummet, använde lykta att hitta i garderoben. Fått problem med översvämningar från duschen då deras rör klarade inte mer än 2 min duschande.
Personalen var trevlig och försökte sitt bästa att hjälpa till och lösa problem: fixade gallrar (fast inte stång, så det var väldigt obekväm att hänga kläder högt på översta hylla), fixade hål i garderoben, hjälpte oss med att hyra moppe (400 bat/dag) - något som stark rekommenderas då läge på hotell är inte optimalt: långt till strand och stan område.
Frukosten var billigt men även fattig. Vi hittade bra ställe relativt nära som serverade bra frukost/brunch: The Little Paris. Det visade sig att där ligger område med flera bra restauranger. Det fanns matsal för restaurang som användes aldrig. Wifi koppling var ok. Poolområde var fint men med få solstolar, dem var dock lediga när vi var där. Parkering var utomhus vilken är inte optimal vid kraftig regn (om man kör bil). Väldigt mycket plast växter,
I helheten lämnade hotell synd känsla att det används bara liten del av sin potential.
