My stay started on Sunday the 3rd of June 2007. I was with a work party, and I was due to stay for about 5 days.
I arrived at the hotel at around 5.30pm on Sunday, and immediately I noticed that the area in which the hotel was situated, was obviuosly not the best ( it was probably the worst located hotel I have stayed in ).
I immediately removed any valuable items, and my Sat Nav from the car and transferred them into my room which was situated on the first floor. On that Sunday it was particularly hot, and I decided to keep my room window open to get that much needed airflow. At around 7.45pm I decided to go to dinner, and I stayed out of my rrom til about 11ish.
The next day I was due to go to my training which was about 2 miles from the hotel, and I also decided that I would use my Sat nav to guide me there. When I searched my bag, I noticed it was missing. I immediately notified the hotel who then passed on the info to the local police.
That evening, I was questioned by the police, and i had to give the particulars etc.

I checked the hotel literature, and I cant remember anyone telling me about the safety of my belongings.
I tried to speak with the hotel manager, but he was unavailable, but the asst. manager was there, and I spoke to her about the state of play regards insurances or the hotel replacing the product. The asst. manager reassurred me that I wasnt to worry and that the hotel would replace any item that had been stolen, and that the hotel manager would confirm this prior to my departure.
I spoke with the manager the following day. He was totally unsymapathetic, and quite blunt in saying that 'the hotel had no insurance for this, and that I would only be covered if i fell out of a window or something.'
I would reccomend that you do not stay at this hotel because their Customer Service is shocking, and that their management only, it seems, care about you if you dont cause an issue.

On the plus side though, I must thank hotel staff; Amy, Monica, and in particular sabine who were helpful, pleasant, and great eye candy!.

I stay in hotels throughout the UK every week of the year on business. I have never been to Doncaster so I used an agent to find me a hotel. I was allocated the Regent Hotel. What a disaster! This place is the worst hotel I have stayed in ever. It is located in a pleasant part of the town centre but that's it! It is accessed by an outward opening fire-door painted pillar box red. There was a distinctly unpleaseant smell in the foyer (stale beer?) and another unpleasant smell on passing the communal toilets. I was given room 4, a shoe-box situated on the ground floor and situated between 2 fire doors. I was constantly disturbed throughout the night by revellers returning to their room / trying my door by mistake! etc. The carpet in the room was so dirty I was afraid to take off my socks. In fact, I kept them on in bed just in case. The en-suite, which is painted an interesting cololur of green, was tired and dingy. However, all this pales into insignificance when compared to the food. Do not - whatever you do - eat in this place. I ordered room service - which my better judgement told me was going to be a mistake but I was starving - I was right. I had to phone and ask them to remove the 2 disgusting courses I had ordered untouched by me. They both looked as if someone else had ordered them about 5 hours earlier and they had microwaved the plate to re-heat it!! It was disgusting. Breakfast was not much better. I ordered the Yorkshire grill. It was put on the table in front of me and I thought - re-heated again! Although in fairness, I think the thick slice of greasy white fried bread might have been fresh. I walked out. But it's not all bad. The toast was well - toasted.

“Breakfast is good, office staff is very friendly, but that's about it ...”

Regent

18 Jul 2006
3/4 found this review helpful

Well, as far as I've understood this should be one of the best hotels in Doncaster.

Let me start with the good things:

-Staff is great: they really try to help. Example: They helped me carrying my heavy suitcase to the room, they put my stuff in their fridge
- Breakfast is nice and included in the room price. There's a menu where you can choose from various dishes (including fish and coldcuts) and there's a variety of cereals and juices
- Free Wireless Internet (you lose the connection sometimes, but hey, it's free)

The bad things:

- No elevator and my room was on the third floor
- No Air Conditioning (it seems there are no hotel swith airco in Doncaster or in the rest of England????). Fan was received upon request.
- Rooms are not too clean (i know i am picky, but i don't think it's normal to find long hairs in the bathtub on the day I arrived - i shave my head so they can't be mine!)
- Very very low water pressure coming out of the showerhead
- Bad Mattress - it kills your back
- Very small single rooms for 85 pounds a night (price quality is bad for this hotel)
- no Fridge in room, no Minibar in room
- one little bottle of soap and shampoo which are not being replenished daily (what do they think. that this is enough???)
- no tissues or Kleenex in room/bathroom
- cheap recycled toilet paper
- 5 basic English Channels on the TV (no international, no BBC WORLD, no CNN, no nothing)
- no fresh fruit for breakfast
- Laundry service : comes back only the next day

Decide yourself. I've been to worse hotels (Ibis for example), but not for 85 pounds a night! The problem is that I don't think there's anything better in Doncaster.
