Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The room was bigger than anticipated, plenty room to move around, bed was comfy enough, though the duvet was very “lumpy” which wasn’t very nice. The reception staff were very helpful with shutting the window properly, lending me a phone charger which I had forgotten to bring, 10/10 to the staff 👍🏼. The hotel is in a good location on High street, very convenient for shopping and eating out. Car parking facilities at the back, 15 minutes walk to Berkhamsted train station. The hotel has its own restaurant which is convenient if one doesn’t want to venture out too far.
Negative: It was a bit cold last night and because of the generous room size, with the unpredictable British weather, we felt a bit cold in our room! The heating system is centralised I think, we can’t turn on the heater which was frustrating! The towel heater wasn’t on, we had to dry with cold towel which was not very nice. My room was closed to the restaurant and kitchen(?) and dining/beer garden, with the window opened, food smell has sadly “sipped” into the room. I didn’t realised that there’s no hair dryer in the room, had to “checkout” with wet hair, not ideal. In general, the hotel rooms were “spruced up” with a lick of paint and new door with security codes installed, but the wooden wardrobe shelves, table etc are a bit tatty with chipped corners here & there, dusty electric fan, old chair that has quite obviously reached its sell by date, carpet looks dirty and I’m glad that I have brought a pair of slippers with me! Bring your phone charging plug with you because there’s no USB port in the room.
Summary: Good location and very helpful reception staff👍🏼
