The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and efficient! Allowing us to put our dinner and bar tab on our room bill was also an added helpful feature! Breakfast was tasty and a good way to start each day! Room #8 was recently renovated and had a large shower with good water pressure. This establishment is really an authentic old pub!

Nothing not to like in this lovely Olde Worlde hotel full of charm.
We Stayed with our dog who was made very welcome. Staff were very helpful and we had a very pleasant stay. Lovely little town of Hemel Hempstead with quality shops and nice restaurants. A beautiful parkland for walking (including dogs) is straight across from the hotel.

Our room was quite dusty especially the blinds. The plumbing was so noisy everytime you went to the toilet or turned the tap on. Our room faced the road and with it just having single glazing it was quite noisy with traffic.
We loved the size of the room and extras like hairdryer and iron. The breakfast was good and the location was perfect. The bed was super comfy best nights sleep in a long time lovely pillows and duvet and huge bed.

The wet room was large but only has a small shelf - which may be ok for men but definitely no good for us women sharing - we had to place things on the floor.
Breakfast was good. The location was excellent.
