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.

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

Could do with a refresh, right on high street, comfortable if a bit scruffy. Shower and bathroom fine. Personnel very nice.

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.

I thought the room could do with updating as the walls were dirty and in general looked tired. The price didnt reflect the room. The staff however were exceptionally friendly and efficient.

The staff were very nice and checkin was fine. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice until I’d already unpacked that there was an extreme amount of mould and mildew in the shower with one fixture even coming away from the wall and the shower door seal cracked. Also, the WiFi was not consistent: sometimes it worked well other times not so well.

Well located in central Berkhamsted - very walkable to centre of town, train station, and houses in the town. It was a small but fair sized room, with poor lighting and ventilation which affected the comfort of being in there. The room was one of the more budget ones at the property, and was located off a walkway that was used by others and produced some noise at night. It was all good for our purposes as we were not intending on spending a lot of time there outside of sleeping.
