There is no parking at the hotel. You have to walk up to kilometer away and costs anywhere from 15-25 Durham a day. Lots of restaurants in the area.

The location of the hotel / apartment is great. Most of the staff was really friendly. Air con great and a lot of shops close by.

The problem I had with this hotel is I had to request a kettle and kitchen cutlery, I would assume a kettle would be already be in the room. A member of staff accused me of damaging the curtains which was not great (they were not damaged just stuck)

The room itself is very good. However, I gave it a 4 only because of 2 things. Ist is the presence of tiny roaches in the room, 2nd the bathroom smells urine even after the room service is done.

Staff were very courteous and pleasant and helpful. However, the rooms were not up to standard. The skirting board in the bathroom was rotted, not helped by the weak non functional exhaust which steamed up the whole bathroom and made it super unpleasant. The staff asked us to shower with the door open and leave the ac on auto .. both did nothing for the steam. On top of all that my daughter got multiple bed bug bites and has painful red swellings all over both her lower legs by her ankles. I don’t think we will be returning to this place.

This is a small little hotel tucked in the middle of backstreets in the city. The surroundings are not the best, but one of the main roads is just a few metres away. My wife and I stayed at the Hotel for 6 days and during that time we had some issues with our bathroom and air conditioner unit that were resolved very fast and very efficiently. The hotel is in need of some refurbushing

No parking available at hotel

Contrary to advertising, no parking available at hotel. Hotel refused outright to provide, assist or arrange parking in a very busy location with little public parking during day and none at night.
Cannot stay at such a location.
Hotel should be upfront about facilities / amenities available and should never lie on their advertisement to misguide customers. Terrible experience. Did not stay at hotel due to their attitude.

1) furniture was worn out and not clean
2) there's no towels or dishwashing liquid or sponge to clean dishes
3) I found small cockroaches in the bathroom
4) Bathtub was not clean
5) Water shattaf was leaking so I had to turn off the water
6) Water heater was off so I had to wait an hour to take a shower
7) Both central AC's were fully on at 20ºC and the apartment was freezing when I checked in
8) There's no parking for the hotel, so i had to roam around and find paid parking on the street away from hotel

Unimpressed

Cons:

We tried to contact them before checking in, but the phone was ringing but no one was answering. Upon arrival, I was surprised to find that their phones in the room were also not working. As there is no way for you to contact front desk, you have to go down and tell them in person, which is quite a hassle. Only two pillows were provided in the room, and the room and refrigerator smelled extremely unpleasant. Additionally, there were cockroaches in the bathroom and in the drawers.

Pros:

It is located near the mall, coffee shops, and other places where you may need to purchase items.

There are taxis available everywhere and getting one is not a problem.

It is easy to communicate with the staff at this hotel.

After what I experienced at other hotels and hostels in UAE, I was very happy to have changed some plans to stay here. Upon checking in, I found out Expedia had made a mistake in my booking. This hotel handled everything. They gave me a room and called Expedia themselves to handle it, which I greatly appreciate. I needed that after some other issues that happened during my trip.
Hotel is in a great location and has plenty of parking (albeit they are paid), and places to eat and check out. Uber had great access to it to, and it is a great stepping off point to other areas. Hotel was clean, well air conditioned, and very comfortable as a whole. Would absolutely stay again.

Not the best experience

When your entering a hotel after a long flight to meet friends and family, you expect that the hotel or the hotel apartments to be understanding and lenient about the check-in process. I had all my documents with me with me when I checked-in but my friend did not. The hotel staff did not allow visitors to enter my room or guest that will be staying with me with out proper original government issued document. This was a hassle and we had to wait over 3 hours to speak with top management about letting my friend in. Its only after I pointed out that it is not Expedia policy, but the hotel policy that guests are also required to have proper identification and that the hotel is responsible due to their policy which is not stated on Expedia and I would like a refund, that they pulled some strings and let me and friend in. The hotel staff was only following orders but they were not as friendly as they could have been and did not provide us with any other possible solutions other that to ask for refund. I would think that if you are travelling to and have friends in that country, that they would be expected to spend some quality time with you no matter where you are, and the hotel did not provide that for me so I am a little disappointed. However, after we got in everything was good.

I found the hotel very clean and comfortable, the staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in a very central and busy part of abu dhabi, having said that the hotel is very quiet and noise from street is non-existent. I travelled with young children and found the hotel very family friendly. I would certainly recommend it to friends and family

Royal Regency Hotel Apartments-excellent service!

We stayed at the Royal Regency Apartments for one night during a stop over in Abu Dhabi and booked an apartment room for 4 people. The hotel staff were very friendly and spoke very good English. We were amazed at the size of the apartment and full kitchen, including a dishwasher. The apartment was very reasonably priced and the staff only too happy to accommodate us with extra towels, roll away bed and extra sheets at no extra cost. As we had to leave early for the airport the porter kindly left to find us a taxi as booking one from the hotel incurs a fee payable to the taxi company. He arrived several minutes later in our taxi,loaded all our luggage and all with a smile! A full breakfast was included in the tariff. I would highly recommend this apartment and will be booking it again if we head to Abu Dhabi in the future.

Good for a business trip

Had a problem with my room condition on the first night there. They moved me immediately and the following morning offered an upgrade to a suite for the rest of my 2 week stay. A disappointing start but an excellent recovery!
The hotel is in a great location for business but would be a bit bleak for a holiday. Central to one of the main city streets. It has no bar but is within a couple of minutes walk of other hotels that do have bars

Simple but comfortable, good value hotel

We were satisfied with our stay and thought the room was a good value compared with the prices we saw at other hotels. The location is convenient and fairly close to the Corniche. Staff was friendly and very helpful and quick to respond whenever we had a request. Our room was quiet, clean and comfortable. It was good to have a refrigerator and hot pot but a microwave would have been a nice feature instead of the stove. Bathroom lighting is not good for applying makeup, and a full length mirror woud have been nice, too. But overall we were satisfied and we would stay at the Royal Regency again.

This Hotel has the potential to be very good, it falls down on very simple and stupid things like the internet access is dreadfull the worst I have ever encountered and when you report the problem nothing is done.

Come on guys people are paying good money to stay with you, make an effort put some nice furniture in your rooms and sort out that internet, you would have a great hotel that could cater for the business traveller.

We were really pleased with the hotel as it was clean and staff were very helpful. The only issue we had was the kitchen facilities were very limited and there wasn't a cooker or enough utensils to really cook yourself a meal. Even so there was a fridge, sink, hob and washing machine - all clean and in good condition. We found the local restaurants were reasonable and plentiful so ate there in stead. The hotel restaurant is not cheap - we paid 60dhms each for scrambled eggs on our first morning, but the local coop has a great bakers for a continental breakfast. One of our main concerns was about being allowed to stay in a double room as we are an unmarried couple, however, the staff didn't even ask if we were married and we needn't have worried about this throughout our entire trip.
The hotel is located centrally a few streets away from the Corniche, and the public beach is a 20 minute walk from the hotel. Taxis are plentiful around the hotel, though parking isn't always easy if you plan to hire a car.
We would recommend this hotel if you want something on a small budget and central.
