Regency Guesthouse Manchester Dickenson Road, Longsight, Manchester M13 0NR

"Booked almost a year in advance for the Manchester Marathon. They have cancelled and refunded woth 2 months to go due to "over booking". Hoeeve the room is still available at 4 times the cost. And ofcourse the phone number does not work to contact them abour this"

"I made a review last week about my experience and was told to take the review down by the proprietor. I have decided to leave said review up for people to be aware of what it is like. Since my stay at the regency guesthouse I have been given a partial refund for my troubles despite an awful lot of reluctancy and duress. I have chosen to leave honest reviews about my experience again so people can make a fully informed decision on whether to stay or not. Be aware that the manager at times can be rather manipulative and weird but on the whole is OK if everything goes according to his business running. Another thing to note is the walls of the rooms are paper thin and you can hear everything and anything that goes on around you. Should you decided to" get it on " if you will, you will be heard and everything will be heard. Please also note there is no room service, no reception desk or area and no doorbell. I wouldn't even suggest staying one night because the value for what you pay is not worth it! You get no TV, no radio, no tea or coffee station, no iron, hairdryer, or decent towels. No bathmat. There are plenty of other places where you get good value for money and cheaper too."

"THERE IS NO LOCK ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR ON THE TOP FLOOR ATTIC ROOM!!!! Don't know if the other rooms are the same??? My 18 year old daughter and her friend booked here for a concert in Manchester and resulted in me driving for 3 hours to collect them because they didn't feel safe. No lock inside the room door - just a code box on the outside of the door! - Anyone who has the code could just walk in. It was old, run down and dirty with mould around the only velux window. The person who showed them to their room shouted at them, telling them to sleep in the double bed together and not use the single one. You are better off paying more money for somewhere reputable as you can not put a price on safety."

"I would of given them 4 stars if i could sleep well. Whole night there was shouting, screaming and door banging upstairs and people have been making noise and when i rung landlord, no response. Such an awful night i had."

"Booked, confirmed via telephone (almost impossible to get hold of, by the way), accepted check in time. Cancelled when we arrived. Fancy that happening to you? Steer clear. The pictures don't show you what this is, which is a student house on top of odd offices, with lockable rooms, shared facilities and lots of noise. Also, it will take the landlord (which is what he is) weeks to come back to you regarding a query. I only just got a refund, 13 days later. Stay away from this place and this owner."
