Bedford Swan Hotel and Thermal Spa, hotel in Bedford

With a location overlooking the Great Ouse River in Bedford’s town center. Bedford Rail Station is only 1 mile from the hotel, providing 40-minute links to central London.

Room was more than adequate for a one night stay although I'd got a little fed up with the emails before arrival trying to get me to upgrade. Room was in the new block, nicely decorated and had a view over towards the river. Bed was very comfortable and shower was excellent with good quality toiletries. No shelf in bathroom for own toiletries but glasses were glass not plastic. Tea & coffee making facilities offered a couple of additional flavoured teas. Fridge in room which would be useful for a longer stay. We arrived early so were able to find a parking space and the parking system in the hotel to register the car was easy to use. All of the staff were polite and professional.

Mercure Bedford Centre Hotel, hotel in Bedford

Mercure Bedford Center Hotel is a wonderfully vibrant hotel, set in the busy market town of Bedford. Relax in the Bar before dining in the Restaurant.

Large twin room with all modern facilities. Breakfast was good with a range of options. location is very central and in a good area of Bedford. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel decor on the inside and in the rooms is of a good modern standard, unlike the outside appearance, this is one hotel that could do with some cladding.

    Bedford has a great museum & art collection at The Higgins & just around the corner is the world famous John Bunyan museum.Sadly the High Street is in decline with the recent proliferation of out of town shopping centres,but the river front Embankment,Russell Park & the site of Bedford Castle make for good walks. The town has some nice cafes & pubs & there is a market in the square on Saturdays-mainly fruit & veg & food.There are other stalls outside Boots selling clothes.On the other side of town is the larger Bedford Park,complete with Victorian bandstand & public swimming pool. Bedford has some lovely architecture & interesting old churches & pubs. There is a new cinema on the outskirts of town. For clothes shopping etc Rushden Lakes & Milton Keynes are a short drive away,as are many diverse pretty country village pubs for dinner. There is a large independent book shop in town which is worth a visit.

    Bedfords most redeeming features are the River Great Ouse with many walks along the embankment and further, 2 large well managed parks, plenty of history. As a base there are 2 amazing aircraft museums within 30 miles, closest is The shuttlworth collection at Old Warden, a bit further is Duxford Imperial War Museum. There are many other interesting attractions only a short drive away. As well as some really good hotels where quality and service are excellent The Barns for example,

    Due to the bitter cold weather it was was not the ideal place although the market was on and I got the wreathes for the church yards and cemetery so it saved me another trip to Bedford , there was a winter wonderland in Bedford park that is the first time I have ever known anything like that to be in the park.

    The large parks were very well kept and made for a pleasant walk. There is quite a contrast between some areas, the waterfront area is good but some of the suburb areas are quite run down and you may wish to avoid after dark. Plenty of places to eat out.

    A pretty town by the river but the town centre is truly grotty. Walked down the gorgeous d'Parys avenue into convivium of homeless street dwellers noisily drunk and swearing and at least two groups of weed smokers outside St Peters church. The high street was full of very rowdy groups. Then the serene river, along the embankment and up past the museum. Bedford seems to have two sides, tree lined avenues and riverside and a town centre itself that is in the throes of becoming destitute.

    I've never been to Bedford before but was pleasantly surprised. The walk along the river is lovely. There are there great museums, all free of charge. Lots of good restaurants, people were really friendly. We'll definitely be back.

    Everything flawless smooth and accordingly thanks to the reception staff Luke he made sure of that. Nice clean tidy spacious rooms ensure a very comfortable relaxing stay. Ample parking not far from Bedford to. Awesome variety of choices for included breakfast which was very tasty. Continuing steps to help prevention of covid 19 seals the deal. I highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area of Bedford.

    We were really impressed with our stay at the embankment hotel. We had our two young children with us and the room was set up perfectly. Very clean and well presented room. We had a lovely breakfast as well and the staff were really accommodating. We have friends who live in Bedford and would certainly stay here again. Lovely hotel and location and great value for money!

    I had a cooked breakfast, it was well made and hot, there was complimentary cereal and other options available too. Staff were friendly and helpful. The guesthouse is a recently renovated Victorian villa in a quiet avenue close to the centre of Bedford. My room had an enormous (queen sized) bed and everywhere was impeccably clean.

    Spent several nights at the Hotel during lockdown which probably set the bar too high. This time round was a completely different story. The place was musty. The staff quite unhelpful. No Camden beer as they have stopped selling it. To round it off some loud mouthed customers. Not the Hotels fault but off putting all the same.

    Convenient to city of Bedford. Supermarket at end of road. Easy to walk around town. Took walk to Embankment and river only 5 minutes away. They didnt serve food but were close to other pubs that did and restaurants. Staff were friendly and quick to respond. Rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable.

    The location is wonderful. You can walk into Bedford town, or down to the River Great Ouse. Having a dedicated parking space was a real plus too. There is a washer/dryer, which was very handy.
