This is an old quirky hotel, expect wodden beams and uneven floors, but this adds to the charms What I didn't expect was a shower and tiolet that didn't work, crapets that made me want to keep my shoes on and poor breakfast service

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.

It was like being in a 1970s hotel. Smelled of smoke. Noisy. Appalling bathroom. Old bed that creaked. It shouldn’t be on Expedia list.

Not value for money, small en suite bathroom, barely swing a cat. Terrible bed, noisy windows - the building has lots of character on the outside and in the bar / restaurant but in my opinion that character was not in any of the hotel rooms. I will not be staying there again

The hotel oozed character with its Tudor styling and timeless interior. The bar and restaurant area with its wooden panelling was charming and authentic. The bedrooms were stylish and clean with comfortable bed and seating, and the lovely warm bathroom was finished in a modern but not out of place styling. With free parking, it was excellent value for money. Cliff, Wiltshire

A 2 star hotel with very uncomfy bed

I definitely won't go back. The greeting on arrival felt hostile with the male (i presume owner) demanding my credit card to take details for the full cost of the stay despite having already paid hotels.com in full. I expected to give a £50 authorisation which is the standard amount but not £116! And he wouldn't hear of me questioning it. The room itself felt clean, although very small and the bathroom literally had a loo and a shower with no room to be able to close the door. When i tried to get to sleep it was awful. The noise from the bar downstairs carried on till after 11pm and the bed was the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on, it felt like the mattress was as thin as a sheet on top of a hard board. I woke up at 2am with a terrible sore back and had to fold up the duvet and sleep on top of it just to try and get comfy. Hotels.com have this as a 3 star but when looking on Google is actually a 2 star which i would NEVER have booked if I'd known baring in mind there's a premier inn for cheaper just up the road. An awful experience

Disappointed

Mattress in room 15 desperately needs replacing, slight movement creates spring noises. Window had no secondary glazing(road facing) so draughty and no noise protection. Mould in bathroom, shower head needs attention. Staff lovely, breakfast good, let down by poor investment in the room.
