10/10 Exceptional

Rooms and public areas in good condition . Hotel in good location for Bedford. Only comment is that the outside of the building and steps in don’t make the place look appealing .

I love this hotel

Clean, comfortable, quiet and perfect location!
Raul, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not good service by Receptionist on arrival. She seemed pleasant enough but was ‘snarky’ and smug. Room cold and heating controlled by hotel. Lift not level on occasion and our concern dismissed. Another receptionist refused to freeze our cooler pack ice block saying not allowed whereas waiter said it was fine. Very limited menu. Fab view from our room and we would only return because of that.
Carol, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice budget hotel with good amenities. Great location right on the embankment. The staff were super nice and helpful. Ample parking to the rear (£5 per 24 hours). Great view of the river from the restaurant.

Work

The location was great for work and visit alike, The hotel staff where polite and friendly and did their best to accommodate where requested. I would recommend staying there. The only thing is the windows in the tower part of the Hotel have seen better days and really should be replaced, although with the secondary double glazing its not a big issue.

Elevated view of town

It was a Privilege Room, great view of the river. Good size room, comfortable bed - all as advertised. Not sure what happened to the daily newspaper, as described on the room details. Good breakfast, easy parking.

Needs refit - rude staff

Hotel needs a refit. Room very dusty - had to buy cleaning stuff to do it myself. Air conditioning clogged with dust - constantly pumping out lumps of dust. Lift intermittent - cleaner who I asked if it was out of order rude (told me ‘Use the stairs’ even though I had 2 bags and back pack). I asked reception and left please clean room sign on door 3 times but room was never cleaned. Car park in need of resurfacing.

Great hotel and location

Amazing hotel, corridors look a bit run down but the lobby, restaurant, bar area and rooms are lovely and very modern. My room came with complimentary robe and slippers which were a great touch.

Nice room

An overnight stay on the way to a family event. Ample car parking, nice room and adequate, if uninspiring, restaurant. The level of lighting in the room was very low which was fine for relaxing but inadequate for working. Hotel staff were very attentive.

On the whole a great stay

Hotel was great very clean. Food was amazing very good but breakfast was not great. With so many staff I suggest the tea and coffee are delivered to the table. The tea / coffee machine was not good.

Disappointing

Lovely stay in a convenient location. Unfortunately the bed was very firm, so my wife did not sleep well and there were not enough staff at breakfast and so the breakfast area was dirty and not well restocked,
