    effective air conditioning
    street noise

    The air conditioning worked effectively, providing a comfortable environment during our stay.

    The noise from the street was disturbing due to single-glazed windows that let in all the sounds.

    fantastic view
    friendly service
    rubbery food
    extra charge
    grotty exterior

    The spacious room offered a fantastic view over the river, complemented by an excellent breakfast with stunning scenery. The staff provided friendly service throughout, making the experience delightful. the scrambled eggs at breakfast were rubbery, and parking was an extra charge, though reasonable. the hotel had a lovely ambiance but the exterior could use some attention.

    tasty breakfast
    river view

    It was just a prime choice for a short interlude in Bedford with good value. Breakfast was tasty and enjoyed overlooking the river. Remember to check the room for sufficient light if planning to work.

    friendly staff
    nice view
    dated exterior
    noisy windows

    the breakfast selection was delicious! the staff were super friendly and helpful. the layout of the lobby, bar and restaurant looked fancy and upscale. our privilege king room had an amazin panoramic view of the city and a fridge! the bed was surprisingly comfy, gotta say i slept like a baby.

    the outside of the hotel looks kinda dated and there were a few issues with noisy windows at night.

    clean room
    great breakfast
    family-friendly atmosphere
    broken lift

    I had a lovely stay with my family, enjoying our clean twin room and the great breakfast with riverside views. The relaxation area was perfect for unwinding after a day out, and it was nice to have games available for the kids. The lift was out of service during our visit, which made carrying luggage a bit of a hassle, but we still had a fantastic time! 😊

    comfortable bed
    poor workspace
    dirty windows

    The hotel's location in the heart of Bedford made it convenient for everything, and the staff were quite friendly. the room lacked adequate workspace, and there were issues with the cleanliness of the windows and air conditioning. Nevertheless, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, making for a restful night.

    attentive staff

    Very cozy room with beautiful river views. The heating didn’t work well and it was quite cold initially. Great location near golf course. Breakfast options were diverse, offering both fruit and hot meals. Staff at reception could be more attentive during check-in.

    spacious room
    friendly staff
    great location
    noisy air conditioning

    Had an awesome stay with friends! We explored the hidden gems of the London Underground and visited the heart of the highlands. The room was spacious and had a fridge, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was solid with plenty of choices, and the staff were super friendly. Great location too!

    One of my friends had a not-so-great experience with a noisy air conditioning unit that affected their sleep. They mentioned it was quite disruptive during the night.

    fantastic breakfast
    welcoming atmosphere

    Recommend it for couples seeking a getaway

    The breakfast options were fantastic, especially the fresh fruits and hot dishes. Patricia, the breakfast host, was exceptionally welcoming and made our mornings feel special, just what you need after a long wedding night.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but given the experience, I think it was fair enough.
