Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a very convenient location in the historic center of Hemel Hempstead, right in the centre of the old town, making it easy to access everything around. The rooms are comfortable and offer good value, especially with the disabled bathroom and a bath available, although there might be some noise from the nearby alleyway at night. The dining experience offers locally sourced food, and the service is on point with friendly staff always on shift. However, the dining options could be more varied, and the Wi-Fi is not included in the price.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, close to shops and with easy access around the Old Town. The rooms were cozy, with a good bathroom, and a really comfortable bed. The breakfast served was just what I needed to start my day. However, the dining options were a bit limited. Overall, great value for money and a wonderful experience.
