Regus offers flexible, high-quality and relatively inexpensive office space in a number of major cities across the world. This can be useful for start ups or larger companies who need flexible office space for traveling or satellite employees.
I signed up for a month of rental to telework. The contact was very helpful during procurement process. During this process I asked specifically if there were additional fees or charges upon cancellation of the lease. The sales staff said that there was not. When i got hit for a ~250 dollar cleaning/facilities fee. I reached out to this sales staff member for 3 weeks asking for assistance and I got no reply. Yesterday the fee was charged on my credit card. Additional grievances but to a much lesser degree are promised complimentary coffee and 70/70 internet service neither of which has panned out.
Regus offers flexible, high-quality and relatively inexpensive office space. I highly recommend Regus for your professional work. The offices are comfortable, The office staff are accommodating, always reaching out to help us out. I have had no regrets having my office here and am committed to staying with them.
Patricia, the center manager at Regus Hidden River location in Tampa Florida has been the most helpful person I have ever dealt with in this company. I have worked on two different continents in large cities and she is the most positive and helpful person I have encountered. She is a star and I wanted to highlight this because whilst I am the first person to point out my discontent with a situation, I think it is equally to point out when someone does a good job. She exceeds my expectations on a daily basis.
Thank you for providing someone who you can be proud of.
I have an office on yonge street in Toronto and paid first and last now have to pay more money. And the front doors are locked at 3.30pm. All my packages are sent back. Business has failed before it starts. And now can't have a microwave in the office due to the building management. This was not told to me by the first guy in management. Poor Management. Want to cut my losses as they want more money. Just like an apartment you pay first and last not 4 months in advance. Was to be $644 now it's over $790 something is wrong.
My opinion wish i never came to toronto. Today now the 15th and just saw the management took out money from my Credit Card without my OK. This is called Fraud now.
Hi Robert,
I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction.
The centre does not close at 3:30pm; the main entrance is shut at 3:30pm but after this time there is a security guard available to let in guests and receive packages. All current customers are aware of this and it is explained to all new ones before an agreement is signed. I am sorry if you were unaware of it.
The local manager contacted you about the packages and has requested information regarding the delivery company who signed for the package, and any confirmations you received from the mail carrier. If you haven’t already done so, please do reply so he can investigate.
Microwaves are not permitted in this location for health and safety and smell reasons.
This is not a residential building and does not work as such. We invoice a month in advance and not “first and last”. You signed an agreement for $644.34 per month before tax which is $728.10 after tax. This is specified on your invoices.
You have been invoiced the retainer, the activation fee and the office from 1 August to 30 September (not “4 months in advance”).
The local manager has already been in touch and is happy to answer any further questions you have.
Kind regards,
Michelle Spire

Regus tacks on monthly expenses for internet, phone lines, kitchen fees and other "expenses" that make it more costly than it first appears when renting office space.
They offer very good service in the start of contract but eventually service quality declined. We can say good to average service during contract period..
I am a CPA and have been in business for over 25 years. Regus has THE worst customer service, billing and payment application I have ever seen. We made an electronic payment in July of 2021 that was never applied and we have been charged late charges since. I have called customer service, sent number emails and gone through our legal team to try to resolve, but Regus has not resolved the situation. I reached out to the manager of the building we occupy and was told someone from Customer Service would respond... crickets. I'm beyond frustrated and would not recommend Regus to anyone.
Buyers, beware of Regus. I was a customer of theirs for several years at their Lake Norman location in Cornelius, NC. They provided mail services for our company until on April 1,2024 they sent an invoice for mail services for the new month where the cost went up from approximately $65/ month to approximately $105/month. This was done with NO NOTICE! When I promptly gave my notice of ending our agreement i in 30 days, I discovered that they were charging me to pay another month beyond the 39 days and refused to offer any refund. BEWARE OF DOING BUSINESS WITH REGUS! The local staff are GREAT, but the corporate company is not. - Randy Wall, manager BBC Consulting
Hi Randy,
I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction.
At Regus we work hard to ensure our services offer exceptional value to our customers and to provide many different options to meet every customer’s requirement and budget but the price increase was a necessary adjustment due to the increase in costs. Our pricing is fair and consistent with the current market conditions.
All our agreements finish at the end of a calendar month so once you gave your notice the correct termination date would be the end of the following month. The notice period is clearly explained in the terms that you confirmed you had read and agreed to.
A member of my team has been in touch to clarify any further questions you may have.
Kind regards,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to cancel a reservation. Although the cancellation was done with 24+ hours notice, I was charged for the space (per Regus policy). I asked for a refund or even a credit toward a future reservation, as I will be booking a lot of office space in the same area, but no interest from Regus. They would rather take my $400 now, versus $2,500+ over the next few weeks. I just need someone to partner with; these folks are not interested. Moving to a different provider for the rest of my reservations.
Hello Chris,
We are sorry to learn of your frustrations.
Please understand that we apply booking cancellation fees to prevent last-minute changes.
As the world’s leading flexible workspace provider, customers rely on us to provide them with available, efficient spaces so demand is high.
Please email me at lorraine.brule@regus.com with your company name and/or account reference so we can quickly assist.
Many thanks,

Could care less about you or your business. Never took possession of space to date. No other alternative but legal at this time. The pandemic is hard on everyone but STOP ripping honest people off. It seems desperate?
Full of empty promises, false information, agressive customer "service". If you bring up anything negative, they attack you and make working impossible. Really like bullying kids at school. Avoid them at least in Belgium.
Hi Katriina,
I acknowledge receipt of your complaint.
Regardless of the reason, i understand that situations can sometimes be frustrating and apologise if we did not provide the level of service that you expect or deserve from Regus.
Still, your review is quite harsh and you’re not allowing me to check the details of it, since you posted anonymously.
Can you please email me at sandra.melody@regus.com with your company name and account reference, so I can assist? You can find such information on your invoices.
I look forward to receiving more information from you.
Best,
Sandra Melody
Head of Customer Services

Go anywhere but here. Worst company I've ever dealt with. Filed fraud with our CC because they didn't hold up their part of the deal. Got a call today saying I am month behind on an invoice with them. We filed fraud, cancelled the account obviously, how do we owe anything...RUN!
Can't identify the account...LMFAO. You guys are a joke. Anyone want to file a class action lawsuit against this company let me know
Hello Michael,
I apologise if you are not completely satisfied with the service.
I would be happy to look into your specific circumstances of your case in an effort to make sure we have provided the best service possible but haven’t been able to identify your account. Could you please email me at michelle.spire@iwgplc.com with your company name or account reference (as displayed on your invoice) along with all relevant details regarding your concerns and I will be happy to look into the situation.
I look forward to receiving more information from you.

Words can't express how disappointed I am with being treated like absolute crap by Regus. I can now see how they left the door wide open for WeWork to come into their market (word of warning to any other companies looking to treat their clients badly). I haven't spoken to one former or current Regus customer who was happy. In fact it was the only positive experience whilst using Regus to bond with fellow users over how terribly we were being treated. Bills coming out of nowhere and then completely ignored when you try to query. It's a terrible service. The reception team added additional accounts to my bill, without my consent. I'm assuming this was to try and hit a sales target. They also bribed me with a free meeting room for a day to get a high review. Their culture is completely toxic. I'm can't stress enough to people to avoid at all costs!
They auto renew your contracts without your permission. When u disagree (of course 99% of ppl would) they threaten u with lawyer and debt collection. Ive been their customers for the past 3 years, paid everything in full. Not only they refuse to return my deposits they also threaten me with lawsuit
This place are the worst of the worst. Expensive, have no integrity, and they use contracts to legally scam you by adding all kinds of unreasonable price and demands hid behind small print. Do not use this scam company at all costs
Note: soon, regus rep will reply to this post with template answer, try to go off topic and tell lies. Dont believe them they are massive frauds. Otherwise why would so many victims protest about this company? This company is a massive scam
Hi Mark,
I’m sorry if your renewal came as a surprise to you.
We take renewals very seriously and ensure that the process, which is very simple, is communicated to customers upfront.
Prior to any renewal, our customers receive courtesy email reminders. These emails include detailed information on prices, terms and the option of ending the agreement if you no longer require our services.
They were sent to the email address we have on file, which you can review and amend at any time by logging in to your online account.
We apologise if for any reason you didn’t receive these reminders. This could be due to your account details needing to be updated. Please log on to your online account and check that your phone number and email address are correct.
It is also worth checking that our emails are not landing in your spam folder.
Once your agreement with us has been renewed, we’ll confirm it via email.
You can check these emails in the Account > Documents section of your online account.
If you would like further clarification about your renewal, have any specific billing or payment concerns please email me directly at michelle.spire@regus.com with your account details and I’ll ensure a member of the team contacts you.
Kind regards,

Facility was nice but expensive at over $10 per foot per month. Center management was excellent and tenant-centric. Regus policies are pathetic. Charges for land lines when only using a cell phone. Exit fees - I placed 12 pin-sized holes to hang professional certificate, diplomas and some art. It cost $459 to "repair" that which is simply price-gouging since they have the tenant captive. I notified them on 3/4/2023 that I would vacate on 4/30/2023 and requested my retainer balance at that time. It is now 5/31/2023 and no return of the retainer. You can Zelle money to people immediately or ACH in one day. Regus is disreputable but in my case is the only game in town.
Hello Greg,
I apologise if you are not completely satisfied with the service.
We provide our restoration service for all customers to save time and money, along with the frustration of dealing with multiple outside vendors such as IT & phone technicians. When you moved into your office, we ensured it was all in working order and ready for use. We do the same with each customer and this service is part of your agreement.
We reserve the right to charge additional reasonable fees for any repairs needed above and beyond normal
Wear and tear.
We fully understand the importance of receiving your refund promptly and have taken measures to make the process as smooth as possible for customers. Requesting your refund is easy. You should log into your online account (i.e., myregus.com), select Account > Product and services > End Agreement, where a specific section for refund request is available. We will then confirm your payment date and amount.
You should receive your refund within 30 days after your end date. It’s an automated process. However, we ask you to go through some security steps as part of our fraud-prevention policy.
I would be happy to look into your specific circumstances of your case in an effort to make sure we have provided the best service possible but haven’t been able to identify your account. Could you please email me at michelle.spire@regus.com with your company name or account reference (as displayed on your invoice) along with all relevant details regarding your concerns.
I look forward to receiving more information from you.

Regus headquarters (Helpdesk); Regus Seattle Smith Tower, and many more centers are a total scam so please be aware. Do not lease office space from these terrible people. There are many other options out there. Regus has consistently been unprofessional and non-existent in several issues I've had with them the past year and in the past with other centers. My worse experience was with Seattle Smith Tower. You'd never have imagined a business could have been this disorganized, petty and non responsive to customer service or needs. I notice through my email tracking system that they (Regus helpdesk) continually open my emails, some multiple times, without ever responding. I have issues I'm trying to resolve with 2 different offices and they continue to not help. They only care about their sales process of hitting quotas in signing new clients to office space.
Awful - suggest avoiding at all costs!
The office spaces are small but provide a service. The walls are thin and you can hear people in adjoining offices clearly, this distracts and could cause issues with confidentiality agreements depending on the nature of business. Staff are pleasant but completely ineffective if issues arise and simply lie to you in the hope you will go away!
I moved the business out of these offices in January for the above reasons (giving notice at the end of December as per our contract). It is now the end of March and we are still owed over £400. I have been given multiple excuses and promises, all broken. I am having to take legal action against them to get the money back. PLEASE AVOID!
You simply cannot trust them. Their policy seems to be to squeeze every bit of money from every client. In our case this included not honouring agreed terms that we have in writing. We sent lawyers letters, they just replied saying we won't change our stance. They didn't use solicitors never replied to questions, so we just walked out. They deserve to go bust, which has already happened with a chapter 11 filing in the USA. Their CEO has just been lambasted in the Times for trying to destroy businesses. Trustpilot shows that this year Regus UK has had 451 one star reviews that's 92% of all reviews in the last 12 months. Stay away from them.
Do not do business with this company! I signed up less than 30 days ago, and it's been nothing but problems, being charged hundreds of dollars in fees for no reason and when I tried cancelling I was told I'm locked in for two years! I have never experienced such horrible customer service! I've had virtual office spaces before and have never encountered one that couldn't be cancelled in a reasonable amount of time! They are thieves and scammers!
Hi Cami, I’m sorry that you feel this way.
It’s clear from reading your comments that the main reason for your review is that of your agreement. A fixed term agreement is fixed for the term outlined in it; this is not us “locking you in”, this is how agreements work. You will see both the start and end date are clearly stated on your agreement; we did not chose the term for you.
You have not been charged fees for no reason, you have been charged correctly. Other than your monthly virtual office fees you were charged for mail forwarding, I apologize that this preference was not removed by your centre team before the charge was raised but it was immediately credited back to your account at the request of your centre team. Our account helpdesk also assisted with a late fee; both of these actions show that we do provide good customer service and are here to assist.
A member of my team has contacted you directly and you are free to contact me directly at Lorraine.brule@regus.com if you would like further clarification on these points.
Kind regards,

Answer: Scammers. Charging you for services never provided. Charging you for months (11 months in my case) AFTER you cancel the service. There is ZERO customer service. They don't pick up phone, never help, never answer hepldesk emails. That is it, they just charge you.
Answer: You can call, but they don't know what's going on and have little to no authority to fix the issue.
Answer: Hello. I had to cancel my contract within 24 hours. They keeped charging my credit card without consent. All these crazy unknown hidden fees and double charging for action. Horrible company! I should've check on this company before signing up.
Answer: I'm so sorry for your plight, read the reviews. So many people saying the same thing. You're going to be billed for an entire year. And if you don't pay up they'll try to ruin your credit. Can't believe these thieves are still in business/
Answer: Do not do business with this company. They are real scum bags. Read this thread and my post on what to do to defend yourself https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/regus.com
Answer: Laws are made for mobsters and crooks like Regus. Put up a picture of Mark Dixon and his family on wall, and curse then spit on it daily if it helps.
Answer: None! They have reiterated their bot replies on email. They are mobsters after all, no resolution can be obtained from mobsters without bloodshed.
Answer: They are based in UK. Their owner lives in Monaco to avoid UK tax. He must be paying the royalty a share and another to all political and legal crooks. Mobster tech companies from UK are much worse than Russian and Chinese crooks.
Answer: If you are looking for virtual office, try earthclassmail. They are simple and efficient. More importantly, they don't have fine print contracts.
Regus has a rating of 1.1 stars from 354 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Regus most frequently mention customer service, credit card and office space. Regus ranks 6th among Coworking Space sites.
