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 have been a long-time client of Regus and have always appreciated the high-quality services and professional environment you provided. However, I am deeply concerned about the recent decline in service standards and the apparent shift in focus towards vacating spaces rather than maintaining the excellence that once defined Regus. This sudden change is not only disappointing but also alarming. It feels as though Regus is veering off course, moving away from its core values and commitment to clients. I urge you to reconsider this direction and realign with the principles that made Regus a leader in the industry. Your future plans are unclear, but the current trajectory seems to be leading towards a potential downfall. I sincerely hope that sanity prevails and that Regus can return to its former glory, providing the exceptional services that clients have come to expect.
Feels like being held hostage. I do not recommend this place to anyone! Office Evolution is their competitor and I recommend them. If you ever go into business with this outrageous company, just know that they are going to charge you for the air that you breathe. They want to charge us $211 a month for the continued use of our phone number. I would rather lick a public toilet seat every day for the rest of my life than get screwed so blatantly for a phone service. Would you pay $211 monthly for netflix when you know that the normal monthly charge is $20? Definitely not. Major "Karen" energy from this place. STAY AWAY! I hope they go bankrupt. Shocking that they can somehow maintain 1400 locations worldwide.
Regus Australia staff are unaware that they are working to support tenants' businesses. They sit in the reception with colourfully dyed hair in pinks and reds, long false eyelashes that are over exaggerated and wear playful dresses and mini-skirts. When we ask them to improve this as it looks unprofessional and interferes with tenants' business, they reopen and ignore us, saying that this is Australian culture.
They also had extremely loud staff welcome and farewell parties in the office after 6 pm and didn't care that some of the tenants were still working.
Most staff are not empathetic and will threaten you if you are not good enough for them. Being a Regus tenant is riddled with unnecessary stress.
Tip for consumers:
Unreasonable stress you receive. The facility is 5 stars but the staff is 1 star

This has to be one the worst companies to do business with. Lets start with all the hidden fees no one mentions to get you in the door they should be sued. There billing is ridiculous I have been trying to pay mine for weeks now. I tried to pay with two forms of payment but they would not work. I contacted customer service just to get the run around all while they charge late fees lol. I was told by the office manager that they were having problems with billing, when regus did contact me back they sent a bill with a late fee and said there is no glitch. Please stay far away from the worst customer service and fees if you can.
Tip for consumers:
stay away

Hi Robert, thank you for getting in touch.
We always ensure that any concerns have been clarified before an agreement is signed as transparency is paramount to us.
Regus takes customer service seriously and we’re committed to resolving this matter promptly.
We have received great feedback from our customers on our MyRegus portal as they find it easy to access their accounts on the go. We are sorry if it is not the same for you.
Late payment fees will be charged when the payment was not made within the invoice due date.
I would love to help you but I haven’t been able to identify your account. Could you please email me at Lorraine.Brule@regus.com with your company name and account reference (as displayed on your invoice)? I look forward to receiving more information from you.
Thank you again for taking the time to provide feedback.

My review may get lost in the mix because there are an abundance of negative reviews about Regus and justifiably so. This company is completely disorganized, and crooked. When you sign up for a monthly experience, you are assured that you can cancel anytime. This is not the case. They will ignore your requests and continue to bill you. I had a membership for over a year. Shut it down because I didn't need it anymore. A year later I re-opened another account for again a years time. They are so disorganized that they are billing for both accounts. Frustrated I shut down the second account as well. Today I haven't visited a Regus office in over two years yet the bills keep coming. They are trying to infer that we owe over 10,000 dollars although the account has been canceled for years. We will be suing Regus for their dishonest practices, complete negligence, and breach of contract. Stay far away from Regus folks.
Hi Ryan,
I apologise if you are not completely satisfied with the service.
You can quickly and easily terminate your agreement through your online portal (myregus.com), by going to Account > Workspaces and services > End Agreement. This will ensure the agreement ends at the end of the agreed term and will not renew further.
If processed correctly online, we would not be able to “ignore your requests”.
You may have asked for your agreement to end sooner than the agreed term, which in such case, we cannot do (an agreement is a business commitment which cannot be broken).
I would be happy to look into your specific circumstances of your case 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.
Best regards,
Michelle Spire

Beware of #Regus. Very corrupt business practices. Their app is designed to make it difficult to pay your bill. Late fees add up. You are only able to communicate with a foreign help desk that is only an answering service or via email with someone who is never able to answer questions appropriately or assist. Depending on whom you speak with, you are given different answers. This company is a scam. I have contacted an attorney. https://www.regus.com/en-us #Regus #regus office space. #office space
Under no circumstances give this company your credit card or other personal information. When I saw that they had fraudulently charged my card, I called, emailed and messaged them. I believed this to be a mistake on their part in the beginning but quickly realized that this is how they routinely do business. I contacted my credit card company and filed a complaint with the BBS. I never got my money back. Even after all this, they continue to harass me with notices that say they "tried to call me" and threatening collection. It has been a nightmare. This company is HORRIBLE.

Hi Emily, I understand and appreciate that you’re disappointed, and would really like to help.
At Regus we take all possible steps to liaise with customers and ensure their accounts are up to date before contracting any third parties. This includes courtesy emails and calls from our team.
If you haven’t heard from us in the last few weeks, then I apologise. I’d like to review your account details to tackle any potential communication issues, and clarify the situation. However, I am unable to do so since you posted anonymously.
Transparency is key to us and we work hard to ensure we provide our customers full clarity on everything that we do. If your payment card was debited, that is because you gave us an authorisation. We wouldn’t be able to do so otherwise, and fraud isn’t part of our practices.
We greatly value your business and want to maintain a positive working relationship. However, it looks like the current payment situation needs to be resolved.
Please do allow me to help and provide me with your contact details at Sandra.melody@regus.com. I’ll be in touch.
Thank you,
Sandra Melody

Somehow, Regus is able to edit your MyRegus.com account records to remove paid invoices, add new invoices for example in May, they made edits to March activity without notifying me and they were wrong and to their advantage- Recently, through my complaints and about six weeks of persistence, they finally cancelled my account. I had been with them four years straight this time around and had been doing business with them since 2010. A third party auditing firm needs to audit their book-keeping system. They removed paid invoices in several of my accounts over the years and replaced them with other invoices while intentionally or not- removing payments made where the only proof then lies with your bank account. Regus should not require that you use MyRegus.com for accounting if they are the only one allowed to make edits and not record the edits for your viewing. This is likely illegal and the group within the UK looking to sue Regus should pursue this angle. I would.
I've never signed up for anything online that didn't give you the right to cancel. They're saying because the agreement is dated that your reliable to pay them that whole time period, bull$#*!. Any customer has the right to cancel and terminate within up to 30 days. I will not pay for a service for a virtual office on a business I do not have. They have lost their mind and I will gladly sue them to make sure my credit card isn't charged any further and this account is closed completely. Worst company ever, no help only worried about money. Even customer service worried about a damn survey.
Tip for consumers:
Will never recommend this company

Hi Brittany,
We’re sorry if there has been some confusion.
Transparency is key to us, and our teams go to great lengths to ensure that any queries are clarified before an agreement is signed.

We had set up a Virtual Office and back in April 2020, we set up on recurring payments by credit card. Without any notification by mail or email, the service was suspended. We didn't find out until we went to schedule a room and we then had to spend weeks trying to track down the issue. Response was that we needed to back pay to April 2020 as we never notified them of cancellation. They take no responsibility in their billing system or notifications to us. Worst response time and no effort to resolve the issue. Take these comments seriously when you make your decision and review the agreements and especially the billing methods they have setup. Check out other options when available.

Hi Brian, I am really sorry to hear of your experience, but thanks for getting in touch.
It’s difficult for me to give you a clear response as I cannot investigate on your case; you posted anonymously.
However, Regus takes customer service extremely seriously and we work hard to ensure transparency in everything that we do.
We take all possible steps to ensure our customers pay their invoices on time; this includes courtesy emails and several contacts from our internal Collections team.
If for some reason you didn’t receive these emails or calls, then we apologise. This could be due to your account details needing to be updated. Please log on to www.MyRegus.com 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 logged in your online account, please also check your Account > Billing and payments section so you can process the necessary payments, where invoices are marked “Unpaid”.
If you have any additional information to share, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at sandra.melody@regus.com. I will then be able to assist you.
Thank you,

I would urge you not to seek other rental spaces or someone will be saying "I told you so...". It is quite obvious to myself that after watching them for a while, they do indeed run some type of scam practice. Do not give your credit card pre-authorization or bank pre-authorization to them!
Tip for consumers:
read their agreements fully and be prepared to figure out what is going on with their billing mistakes.

Do not click auto-renewal in the mail because your agreement will overwrite the initial date and start immediately and will never end as stated as easy termination on the website. Too bad, one star is the rating, if there is a negative star, sure I will do it. Dirty business trick.
Tip for consumers:
Bad service, no way to terminate the agreement. When you log in, there is no icon to click for cancellation, they continue to bill me eventhought the agreement has ceased. They just replied as if they were innocent.

Hi Joseph, it is disappointing to see you post online although we have already assisted you on this extensively.
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. According to our history, you received these emails on 9 June 2023 with detailed information on prices, terms and the option of ending the agreement if you no longer require our services.
However, you accepted the renewal on 19 June 2023 for your new term starting 01 October 2023 to 31 March 2024. You ended your agreement online on 19 July 2023, so your current agreement will expire on 31 March 2024. It’s a formal business commitment.
If you need further support in this matter, please feel free to contact your centre team who remains your key contact here. We appreciate your business.
Best,

I had an extremely poor experience and really cannot find even one decent review so this tells me I'm not alone in my experience. Luckily I am linked to my bank account within the first few months so they cannot withdraw money like they have from other clients but I am pretty sure I will have to fight for my deposit just like everyone else. Make sure you terminate your lease well before the time or from what I read they will automatically renew you. Unprofessional rude overpriced. Extremely rude help and poor customer service unless it is in their benefit. Even when you complain you have to threaten lawyers to get even part of your money back. This place is a complete joke and disgrace. The place in sunrise Florida is not worth even a moment of your time and there are plenty of good office places surrounding it
We had to request our retainer (deposit) of over $6000 at the end of our lease. If you don't request the refund, they keep it. There is high turnover with their reception staff and they have terrible customer service. Some of the staff that work the front offices are nice but the good ones leave quickly. Find another option.
Hi Shannon,
We fully understand the importance of receiving your refund promptly and have taken measures to make the process as smooth as possible for customers.
As you rightly pointed out we ask that our customers request their retainer refund through their online accounts, and we will ask you to go through some security steps as part of our fraud-prevention policy.

In April of 2021, I tried to set up a virtual office with Regus. However when I went to check out online, their web site went blank. I didn't know if the transaction actually went through. I checked my email and didn't see any confirmation emails from Regus. So I assumed the purchase transaction failed and chose a different vendor.
I contacted Regus immediately to explain the situation and cancel my service. However they denied my request, insisting that I had to pay for another month of service. They denied any responsibility for their system malfunction. They provided zero services to me but claimed their actions were justified because I had allegedly signed a business contract.
Without further options, I contacted my credit card company and they put a stop on the payment. Since then, they've continuously sent me harassing emails, threaten me with debt collection, and even a lawsuit.
Hi Hongxu,
I understand that you’re disappointed.
We have received good reviews about our website and online app which allows our customers to purchase our products and access their accounts on the go. It is unfortunate to hear that you’ve encountered a system error on our website during the purchase of the agreement. However, we have confirmed your virtual office agreement and initial payments via the purchase confirmation and payment notification emails. These emails were sent to the email address you registered with us on the same day you signed the agreement.
An agreement is a formal business commitment; it should be honored and ended online according to its notice period.
Chargeback invoices were billed to you due to the cancellation of valid initial payments from your end. Since you have not made the payment for these invoices, you are being charged late payment fees and your account was handed over to our debt collection team.
We would like to confirm that your concern is since been resolved as per the details shared with you. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
If you need further support, please feel free to contact our team member who is in touch with you.
Thank you,

I'm renting a small office of 8 square meters on a monthly basis and at the end of my engagement they sent me an invoice of $414 for service/cleaning costs (while the contract stipulated $4 per square meter). It looks like extortion. And if they do not correct this cost I will file a complaint and I intend to bring together all those who are victims like me for a collective complaint.
Hi Ibrahima, thanks for sharing your concerns.
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 use and we need to return the space to its original state when you leave. This service is part of your agreement.
In Canada the service is calculated at $4 per square foot and not per square meter. This is clearly stated in your agreement. Your office is 90 square feet and the charge is correct. It is certainly not “extortion”.
You have already been in contact with your Community team and I’d like to extend a full apology if this wasn’t clearly explained to you. A member of the customer service team has also contacted you to further clarify the service to you.

We were using Regus to receive our business mail. When I tried to cancel November of 2021 for the renewal in February 2022, I discovered that I was a couple weeks past the October deadline to cancel. All of my appeals to let us cancel a service we no longer needed were denied. We have paid over $1000 for nothing. I am now trying to cancel by the end of October before it renews again for another year and have been unable to get it done. Their customer service is sending me around in circles and I have wasted an unbelievable amount of time on this. I would not recommend this company to anyone!
Hi Ellen,
I’m sorry you had this experience.
All our agreements end when due, in line with their notice period and you need to confirm it online.

The Regus King's location was without Internet for 10 days straight. Reason was apparently the router which had to be replaced multiple times. Internet came on for seven days and now it's been out for another six. No communication from head office or upper management whatsoever. Front receptionist was left to take the brunt of the upset clients.
Hi Sony,
I’m sorry to hear about your disappointment.
Regardless of the reason, I understand how frustrating it can be and apologize if we did not provide the level of service that you expect and deserve from Regus.

At the time of registration there were duplicate accounts opened. My card was charged four times in a matter of days. After the run around I had to go to the office to resolve the issue. The associate was kind and helped to clear things up and remove the duplicate account. However, the credit was never applied, and now I am getting late charges for the past two months. Oh, and the account that was supposedly "closed", I am now receiving calls from a collection agency in the amount of $1100. Run for the hills.

Avoid this horrendous organization!
They do not know business
I spent hours on my bill with billing and they never listened to one thing. My bill has so many errors it's terrible just terrible. Look elsewhere
They made a mistake in registering two accounts in my name in early December and charged me double (2 months pre-pay plus 1. Months commission: this was two charges of 17,000czk.)
They were to refund the 17,000 overcharge 3 weeks ago, and despite a couple of reminders I have not received any of it.
Tip for consumers:
Don’t let them have permission to charge your credit automatically every month.

Avoid Regus. Their customer service is very poor, they fail to respond to calls and emails. There are many hidden miscellaneous charges, for example restoration fees, which are not in the agreement. They hold a security deposit for months after the customer moves out.
I am so happy that I read these reviews before committing myself. I already had horrible experience trying to get the service. The associates I spoke with keep playing games and no one is able to put me through at the Colonnade Blvd San Antonio. I had to call their headquarters and after the associate explained how the project works, I asked him to sent me an email or contract where I can read the rules and know what I am paying for before I sign. Till now no email. The manager or sales person attached to me has no time for me. She is either busy with clients, or out of office. I went in person to see the beautiful offices but she is not calling or replying to emails for follow ups. These are all red flags. I will look for office space in another platform where I will be respected and treated like a full person. It was a nightmarish experience for me.
You'd never have imagined a business could have been this disorganized, petty and non responsive to customer service or needs. You are the last people this company cares for. They care about money and themselves. You are there just to help them make more money. Don't complain and keep paying...
They actually shut down a location in Chicago and gave everyone 2 days notice to move to one of their other locations. But one week passed without update about a new location, and then an email came that the contract was cancelled retroactively. When I called the number to sort things out, the number was disconnected. I called their 1-800 number and someone overseas took my message. Wow
Hi Jane,
We apologise for any inconvenience you’ve experienced following the closure of the Regus centre in Chicago.
A centre closure can be a frustrating experience for customers and it’s something we try to avoid wherever possible.
We understand that you'd have appreciated greater notice. Unfortunately, on this occasion we were unable to provide it and for this we apologise. On processing the end of the agreement in 55 E. Monroe, it triggered an automatic email but the team is currently setting you up in a new centre and our local team-lead will be in touch with you shortly.
Whilst moving is not something you were planning on doing, we often find that leveraging the vast amount of workspace that we manage in Illinois can help us locate an even better workplace for your needs.
