    Some odd design things. No rails for towels in bathroom. Toilet roll kept coming off holder. And quite expensive for a single night.

    Perfect location for seeing St Albans. Comfortable and clean and nice breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    There was a slight mould smell when entering the rooms. They were spotless and couldn’t really see any unfair signs of ware and tear. Everything was clean! But I just couldn’t shake this smell on arrival. We noticed it when we came back to our room later that night too. Once the windows were open it was perfectly fine. Would’ve been nice to have bottles of water as the tap water wasn’t very nice with a tea or coffee in our room. And if I’m really being demanding a mini fridge. All of this wouldn’t put me off returning at all

    The location, the staff were friendly and very helpful. The design and building was really nice, felt very homely. I loved the adjoins rooms as my travel companion and I wanted our own bathrooms. Beds were out of this world comfy!

    The parking was a bit of a pain but nothing terrible! The room could be a little cleaner- could do with a bit of a lick of paint. No fridge in the room or proper wardrobe.

    A lovely hotel, good facilities, we loved the look of the rooms and the reception and bar. The staff were outstanding and were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel was one of the best I have stayed in terms of hospitality and helpful staff- they couldn’t do enough for us!

    No receipt. Excessively hot water in the shower - couldn't turn the control any further to make it cooler. Stepping over the edge of the bath not easy for an 'elderly' person - and slight risk of slipping.

    Breakfast. Lovely soft pillows.Quiet!

    Breakfast was a little on the pricey side, we felt, and they mislaid our order. However the staff were again helpful and the food was delicious. There was a large choice of both continental and cooked.

    Freshly refurbished. Friendly staff. Very comfortable bed.

    helpful staff; room very comfortable and very quiet, even if the view was of a brick wall; location perfect for the purpose of visit, although a bit of a trek from the station; breakfast good on paper and presentationally, but less so in terms of taste;

    There was a little building work going on at the hotel so it was noisy over breakfast but this is just for a short period of time. I did wonder if they could have started the work just a little later in the day though. There wasn't a bath in our room but that may have been my error and for one night that didn't matter. It wasn't 5 star cleanliness, but nothing of concern, just some marks on the bathroom door and the carpeting in the corridors. The rooms were overall clean and the breakfast buffet was spotless.

    We had a great overnight stay at this hotel. It was conveniently situated, reasonably priced, warm and comfortable and the breakfast was great. The staff were very helpful and polite and helped us when we struggled for a parking space. The hotel felt like it had been recently modernised and the rooms had some quirky aspects but it was nice and certainly big enough for the 3 of us. We would stay here again.

    The only bad thing I would say it gradually over the hours the room because more dusty and there was alot of partials in the air. When you had the bed side lights on you could see them everywhere. Think it's a quick fix I would still stay there again.

    Was a lovely room in the heart of St Albans. The design of the room is great. Great stay
