Lovely visit to St Albans

Lovely historic hotel in centre of St Albans. Only negative is lack of plugs in hotel room. Ideally some near the bedside table would be useful. Probably not allowed to add more as building is listed. Had delicious home cooked breakfast. Plenty of choices at breakfast too.

Historic building on main street, but old & new have not come together well in our room. The windows do not close properly and the blackout blinds are not effective, so early light & traffic noise disturbed my sleep. The decor is basic & a bit dated. Also the shower cubicle is too small to stand comfortably.

Central St Albans

An atmospheric quirky hotel. Very few level spaces after the ground floor. Walking in room 16 is like a fairground attraction, try as hard as you might, it is so uneven you can never be sure where you will end up, but it will never be where you aimed for, a trip to the loo becomes an adventure. But it's good fun. A really good hotel, andvery central. And very historic.

Huge room and comfortable bed. Very old style hotel with the sink in the room, not in the bathroom which isn’t that much of an issue. The room was soooo hot though. There was a fan at least, but no aircon. Would be very cute to go in winter, but definitely not during this heatwave. Staff were very friendly and helpful

This is a lovely historic hotel and we enjoyed our stay apart from one thing (but this was promptly rectified) : initially we had a front bedroom facing the road which was busy and noisy all through the night. Fortunately we were able to upgrade to a rear bedroom which was wonderfully spacious and with much better facilities. The staff were very pleasant, polite and efficient, the hotel was fascinating and well-kept, and we would certainly stay there again.

Hotel obviously had a lot of character - not your run of the mill hotel! However, our stay in the family room was interrupted by a leak in the ceiling that came about after about 2 hours of steady rain. While reception did deal with it after we raised it, the ceiling had a couple of water marks - which would make me nervous about staying here for more than one or two nights at the wrong time of year.

A real taste of St Albans

The decision to stop in St.Albans was initially because it was a convenient stopover place for London, due to the easy commute into the city. However, as soon as we arrived and saw the cathedral ACROSS the road we knew that one of our days would be better spent experiencing this beautiful and historically rich place. We even arrived on a festival day! Lots of walking meant that sleeping in a comfortable bed was a priority and the hotel scored highly on this! Breakfast was varied and set us up for the days of sightseeing we had planned. This is an old property so if you want ultra modern go to one of the generic hotels in the vicinity. If, however, you want unique, complete with doors that those tall amongst us need to duck under, then head for here. Clean, comfortable, friendly. I’m keeping this postcode stored in my sat nav for future use.
