This hotel was in the perfect location while visiting my family in Berkhamsted. Right off the high street, large room, lots of storage space, water, tea and coffee, early check in, luggage storage. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Suitable for one night stay. Starting to look a bit dated but clean. Would have preferred a double room rather than a twin. Don’t know if there was one available when we arrived.

Whilst a little dated, the bed in the economy double room was comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. The room itself was dark (not great lighting and one window looking over a small yard). The bathroom was OK. The shower was over a high sided bath and was a mixer rather than thermostatic. Plenty of hot water. Towels were fluffy and big! Tea and coffee in the room as well as water and biscuits and more on request at reception. Staff were fantastic. Really friendly, helpful and wanting to make your stay as comfortable as possible. This is room only. Breakfast was not available although there was an option for a discounted breakfast at another venue.

Staff were very nice, quick check in, the room was quite dark and the a/c unit didn’t work so did get hot without the window open, which presented a bit of a security issue as I was on the ground floor. But overall perfect for my needs, nicely decorated and clean room.

This is the second time the family has stayed here. In the 3-year period it has gone do n terribly. Mould in the shower. Leaking shower tray. Cracked plaster. Noisy a/c. Uncomfortable bed. Terrible pillows. Power in our room kept cutting out too. Needs a major renovation.

Last minute booking, room was fine for a one night stay but even though it was cold outside the room was like an oven and due to its location on the walkway opening a window wasn't really an option, there was aircon but it's noisy and dries me out, other than that a very good room for a very reasonable price.

This might have been a great stay once. Had to change rooms as the shower did not work. New shower was no better. First night, fire alarm started. Stopped, started again. It turns out the front desk person just tried to shut it off the first two times it rang. That’s concerning. Glad there wasn’t a real emergency. The same front desk person would not allow a complete sentence spoken to her. Instead, she’d talk over you loudly and just insist on not letting a guest finish a sentence. Dirty broken parts of rooms, unvacuumed floors, etc. The room keys had to be reprogrammed after every use. Avoid this place

This hotel has a relaxed comfortable atmosphere and is positioned well, being within walking distance from the rail station.
The bedroom was fine, although the carpet was looking a little tired and stained.
The bathroom was well designed and well featured, but sadly the maintenance was poor - the extractor fan was visually heavily clogged with fluff, and did not work at all. The bath plug, once under water, will not eject with the rotary knob, and renders it impossible to drain the bath. It appears the entire plug-ejection mechanism is missing!
All that said, it was a comfortable, quiet night.

Room was a bit shabby - a wall light was hanging out of the wall, the light over the bathroom mirror wasn’t working.
Scuffs and scrapes to paintwork and walls. Seal on the shower door was very scruffy. Overall a bit dingy.

Convenient location. Room in need of some TLC. Bathroom door needs a coat of paint and there was a tatty piece of skirting board under the shower. Very dim lighting.
