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.
Regus / Now Spaces has caused my business to lose time and money. Do not sign up with Regus or Spaces if your business handles important mail that is difficult to replace when they will certainly lose it. The customer service is awful. The reception staff is unprofessional and rude. A class action should be filed by all the members of Mayfair Coconut Grove against Spaces / Regus for the gross misconduct and negligence in handling the mail after they shut down the 3390 Mary Street office in Coconut Grove with less than 1 week's notice to the members.

This company has hidden fees and double charges you with consent. Horrible customer service and very dishonest. Will make everything excuse not to refund and steal your money. They still owe me money they stoled from charging my card without consent. I had to cancel within 24 hours of signing up and they refused to refund me. They just keep repeating the same, it's a contract. They don't care about you or customer service. They only care is about ripping you off. It's makes sense why they have such a bad review rating.

The move-in has been a nightmare with the director in charge of new clients. I asked all kinds of questions to explore what services they provided, what the noise was like between offices, and what furniture was available. The director has only ever responded half sentences from a smartphone and barely addressed my questions. I was pushed to order furniture without having seen it in person and prior to the move-in date, which meant that when the furniture arrived and I realized it was insufficient, I tried to remedy it by requesting more bookshelves. I was told that there was only one single opportunity to order furniture and that I couldn't order more, ever. The offices walls are so thin, I can hear my neighbours breathing. Invest in a good white noise machine! There is no one to go to for help beyond this nightmare staff person who really hates her career.

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with, they prioritise scamming and lying to their customers over looking after them!
I had a short 6 week contract with them, I didn't receive internet until 3 weeks in, then while trying to arrange some kind of discount they started piling up late payment charges.
Once I was out it took a lot of phone calls to get the extra charges credited.
My main issue is they lied to get me in the space, I asked the salesman if there would be any additional charges and he said no knowing that I would not take the space if he told me about the extra restoration fee.
I am now being asked to pay £108 on top of the £500 rent for nothing as I cleaned the space and I was there for such a short time.
So not only have I paid full price for partial service but have to pay extra! Thanks very much Regus!
Anyone who wants to join a class action law suit against regus please email me *******@gmail.com. We should file a complaint with the better business bureau. Call consumer affairs and you can be added to the class action suit. Lets take these scum bag rip offs down!

As the UK battles to contain the coronavirus outbreak global office space provider Regus continues to chase and charge clients for full rates, and has refused requests to terminate or suspend contracts. Their business is filled with greed and have no transparency.
They have offered no reassurance that rent breaks will be considered. It is also worrying that, despite government advice and requests, their offices remain open and [their own] staff have to work

I wish I could give this company a 0. Please reconsider before you enter into a contract with this company. As soon as they charged my account I called customer service to get clarification about services. I asked to cancel within hours when I could not figure out what I was being charged for. I sent 4 messages on their website and 4-5 emails. I got automated responses but nothing else. The customer service rep basically said that I have to pay for the next 6 months - for services that I will never use. I ended up filing a claim with my credit card company. Their customer service is really horrible. I may file a complaint with the BBB too.

Do not use. Do not give them your credit card info. You cannot trust them

Hi Emily,
At Regus we work hard to ensure full transparency in everything that we do.
The monthly charges you can see on your invoice are made up of an advance rent payment plus a payment for services in arrears.
Since you started your agreement this month, you received an invoice covering your August service fee + the retainer, and a second invoice covering your September service fee.
All your invoices are available in your online account (Account section) i. E., myregus.com.
Invoices are payable upon receipt but no later than the 15th day of each month.
Your next invoice, covering October service fee, will be issued on August 31.
I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact your Community team for any questions. They’re there to help you. Alternatively, you may contact me at sandra.melody@regus.com if you need further assistance.
Best regards,
Sandra Melody

I read of poor customer service and fraudulent behavior and I confirm this to be true. I purchased a virtual address and found out from an attorney that there are concerns regarding fraudulence. I immediately attempted to cancel within the hour. Two hours later, I have been given the run around with no refund.
I had a contract with Spaces, a Regus company, for open office space in New York City. When Covid hit in mid March 2020, not only was I ordered by the government not to go outside if non essential, but there were no employees at the locations in my area making it impossible to get into the offices. This small detail, however, did not stop Regus from billing me. I tried to cancel many times but emails and phone calls were never returned, and the app makes it near impossible to cancel. I finally did cancel and disputed with my credit card company the charges for services that were never rendered, and they complied. Regus has put my account with collections and they refuse to discuss anything but payment of the amount due, about 4 months total. Are they trying to fail?
DO NOT use this company period. This is the worst company with regards to communication. I set up with them back before the pandemic. When the pandemic hit and it was time to renew I cancelled the renewal via email because everything was shut down. I had them keep billing me and telling me that I did not follow proper protocol with cancelling. I asked via emails and phone calls that they send me where on the contract it says how to cancel. I did not receive anything and I cancelled within the 30 days. I did not sign anything. And this was all done virtually. I am now being sued for $4000 give or take because they do NOT know what the other departments are doing. They are a very dis organized company and I will have to now hire an attorney to dispute this. This is from 3 years ago. Truth be told I would not even give them a 1 rating... but I had to in this scerio.

Hello Nissa,
We’re sorry for your disappointment but your comments are unfair and inaccurate.
You mention that you “did not sign anything” but you cannot have an agreement with us unless you signed.
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.
This was sent to the email address we have on file, which you can review and amend at any time by logging in to your account online.
Customers can provide notice at any time through their online account (myregus.com) so you don’t need to email us. You would have received an automated emailing confirming your notice and end date if it was applied successfully.
Once your agreement with us has been renewed, we confirm it via email. You can check these emails in the Account > Documents section of your online account.
If anything isn’t to your satisfaction, please contact your Community Manager within 1-2 business days, or myself at lorraine.brule@regus.com so we can discuss further options.
Best regards,
Lorraine Brule

Just terrible management at Regus. Absolute disregard for tenants. The site staff try, but their hands are tied by the insensitive and blind executives that run the management team. Building issues almost daily, with zero empathy for the tenants of their spaces. We continue to pay every cent owing, but are delivered sub-par for what we are paying for.
Hi Josh,
I understand that you’re disappointed, and I’d like to help. At Spaces, the maintenance of our facilities is very important and we can assure you of our highest standards. Our customers’ satisfaction is our priority. 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 Spaces. I have immediately escalated your comments to the relevant teams and it has been confirmed that the issues have been resolved.
You are also welcome to discuss these situations directly with the line manager of your local community team, who is in touch with you.
Thank you for your comments, which help us improve. We appreciate your business.

Did not use the office space from start of pandemic and missed the auto renew email. Tried to cancel 1 moth prior to the actual term renewing. Sorry can't cancel and sorry can't speak with a manager so you pay additional 13 months. Have a nice day. So total 19 months payments for nothing, like who wants to work in shared/common working spaces with Covid?
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.
We have sadly been with Regus since 2013. We are a seasonal business and up until this year it worked for us. They are requiring a TWO month retainer, which is almost $4000! Yes, we do get it back, however for a small business this is substantial amount. We have never had a late payment in the 7 years we have been there, which accounts for nothing. The part that upsets me, is that we signed a contract for what we were to pay. After several attempts back and forth- the contract doesn't stand and they are going to deduct a higher amount. Why have me sign a contract if you aren't going to keep your word? Thanks for your services, we will make sure we don't recommend you and take our business else where. Note- they are similar to Spirit Airlines.
I have contacted Regus 6 times for charging late fees on my account for a system glitch they caused, removing my credit card payment information. I have no other choice but to have my solicitor file a lawsuit, After consulting with her, she learned they have other legal issues as well.
Hi Vira,
We are sorry to hear your dissatisfaction.
As the world’s largest flexible workspace service provider, we are always upgrading our services and systems to serve our customers better.
We made some changes to our payment system to further increase the security of processing debit/credit card payments for our customer’s accounts. We have sent notifications about this to all our customers and informed them that they must register their cards again. These notifications were sent on 23 and 30 June 2023 to the email address you registered with us.
Since the payment card was not registered again, your invoices remained unpaid and valid late payment fees were charged.
We greatly value your business and want to maintain a positive working relationship with you. However, the current payment situation needs to be resolved. Please register your payment card again in your online account (myregus.com) and proceed to pay the outstanding balance.
Should you require further assistance in this matter, please contact our team member who is in touch with you.
Thank you,

I did not step into the office, nor did I ever receive keys for it.
I was very ill and then suddenly once my health improved, I received an email that I owe $18K. The office was inquired about in July, it is now August. How could that even be possible? Just absolute scammers. I'll be sure to have them reported and get my own attorney to resolve this matter.
Hi, I’m sorry you felt the need to escalate this and I’m happy to hear that your health has improved.
To call us “scammers” without first giving us the chance to help you is just not fair.
Please understand that we would not send invoices unless our services have been used or an agreement signed.
As you posted this review with only initials and not your name I haven’t been able to identify your account.
Please email directly at michelle.spire@regus.com and I’ll be happy to investigate your specific case.

This company is definitely the worst company I had dealt with. They keep your security deposit and even charge you fee for keeping the security deposit. We emailed their help desk more than 10 times for the refund of our security deposit. Not helpful at all. This is definitely a company which steals money from the customers. I would suggest to stay away from this company.
After a series of disappointing experiences with Regus, I've made the difficult decision to cancel both of my accounts. This decision stems from multiple issues that highlight a concerning pattern of unethical practices and inadequate service.
Firstly, the customer service at Regus is notably poor. Throughout my tenure, I consistently faced a lack of knowledgeable support. It appeared that the customer service team was unable to provide informed answers or satisfactorily resolve issues, leaving me frustrated and without the support needed to conduct my business efficiently.
Moreover, Regus's services are overpriced. The value offered simply does not justify the high costs, especially when compared to the level of service and support provided. This discrepancy between price and quality is a significant drawback for any business looking to control overheads while expecting reliable service.
Adding to the disappointment, I encountered misleading sales practices. I was promised a discount on a second location, only to be charged significantly more than agreed upon. This not only demonstrates a lack of integrity but also directly impacted my business finances unfavorably.
Worse still, after correcting an overcharge, I was immediately threatened with a price increase tied to a contract renewal that contradicted the terms of my original contract. Such unethical practices, including inappropriate threats and unjustified price increases, are unacceptable.
The culmination of these experiences has led me to conclude that Regus operates unethically. I am deeply disappointed and compelled to share my experiences to inform others considering Regus for their business needs.
I hope this review serves as a cautionary tale for potential Regus customers. The lack of support, unjustified pricing, misleading practices, and unethical behavior have convinced me to take my business elsewhere. I urge Regus to take this feedback seriously and implement necessary changes to improve their service for the sake of future clients.

Hi Michael, thanks for getting in touch, although I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction.
Our team are always available to support our customers with payment, billing and account-related questions. This allows Centre Teams to focus on your well-being and ensuring you get the most of your workspace as well as your community. We have received great feedback about the quality of our service, and I apologise if you’ve experienced any delay in hearing back from the team.
At Regus we work hard to ensure our services offer exceptional value to our customers and to provide many different options to meet every requirement and budget.
We recognise your main concern is about the renewal reminder you received. 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 this email on 08 February 2024 with detailed information on prices, terms and the option of ending the agreement if you no longer require our services. We understand that you're unhappy with the increase in the renewal price. The renewal price will always prevail over the current market price which has been detailed in your agreement terms. You ended the agreement online on 26 February 2024 therefore your agreement will expire on 31 May 2024 according to the actual price.
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,

This is by far the worst company I've done business with ever. They continuously charge for items over and over again. They never apologize for any mishaps. They never inform you of billing changes or remove over charges. You have to prove anything you share with them that is negative. After you prove your case, they come back with their version of the story and with no apology what so ever.
I will never return to this unprofessional, rude, ignorant, untrained organization again.
Stay far far far away...
Regus made material misrepresentations to me when I moved into one of their offices. They also did an illegal money grab during the COVID-19. They lied to me and purposely wasted my time at a time when it was most critical. They have zero ethics. They should be a class action suit against them for what they did during the Corona virus.
Today Sandra replied to my messages on both message boards and via email. She basically copied and pasted the same response she has given to other customers about the terms and agreement. I replied and explained that these terms were written in an intentionally deceptive and unclear way. I further replied that the copies of the renewal email she sent me (which was in French, not in English) I clearly speak English mentioned months not years. This company is intentionally misleading customers to keep them in contracts. I replied that the only solution I will accept is for the contract to be canceled and the money returned. I await their reply.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid at all costs.

Hi Latasha,
I am sorry if you feel this way. We have tried to explain how our agreements work. You have been with us for several years and already experienced renewals. I am surprised that you’re now challenging this known process.
Transparency is very important in everything that we do. You have a business to run and our objective is to partner with you to help you grow even further. However, we also have a business to run and cannot cancel signed agreements.
Your language and other settings can be amended through your online account i. E., myregus.com. French has been your invoice and communication language since day one but I’ve just updated it to English for you.
Should you want to discuss the situation and/or have any other questions, I am here for you; you have my details.

They sited the non renewal clause but I have no copy of the contract in my account. The emails says I have a monthly service contract and states nothing about the auto renew clauses This company scams customers. They charged us for three months after we cancelled in August. Customer service left me on hold until the company closed then hung up the phone.
They no longer allow phone access for anything but Sales. So when it"s important for them to sell you, there is a person to speak with. But when you have a question or a problem, go open a help ticket, and wait and nothing gets fixed. This is a terrible company only looking to steal from you
Hi Jason, thanks for letting us know about this. We’re sorry you had this experience and would love to help.
Our account helpdesk team are always available to support our customers with payment, billing and account-related questions. You can reach out to them by raising a query via the online account (help section).

I signed up for a single month and they claim I signed up for a full year. I have tried calling Regus several times and no one will call me back or email me back. They sent debt collectors after me. The debt collectors just send emails saying "we tried to call you" when they did not call me. I feel so incredibly taken advantage of and trapped.
I don't live anywhere near a Regus. I would never sign up for a full year. I was in town for two days. I only visited the Regus office TWICE.
Hi,
We’re sorry to read your comments and apologize for any misunderstandings.
Our agreements are very flexible, but they all have a renewal clause and you have to confirm their end through your online account (i. E., myregus.com).

Nice offices and friendly people. I tried a one-month subscription and it has been literally impossible to cancel. They reference their terms and conditions and just continue to charge me month after month. They will email you a confirmation of termination and then charge you again. Go anywhere but here
Hi Eric, thanks for reaching out. Transparency is key to us and our teams go to great lengths to ensure that any issues have been clarified before an agreement is signed.
Ending your membership is a simple process: You should log into your Regus account and click on Accounts > Products > End Agreement. Your termination will be automatically confirmed by email.

If i do not pay rent they will report me to Collections. So i have been paying rent for the past 1 year an 3 months already. I lose my last client because of the pandemic the last January 2021. There is no way to keep paying rent to Regus. The other worse thing is that Regus does not call Rent, they call Service this is tricky for the lowers.
