"Disappointed we could not have the room type we booked"

7.0

The restaurant was good. The bathroom was nice although the water was not very hot for the bath and bath got cool quickly. However the shower water was hot. The decoration and furniture were nice but spoilt by the room size and lack of storage.

The room we booked was not accessible by lift and no porter to help. After two attempts we got a room we could access but it was small. It was clean and well decorated. We could not unpack as the storage space was limited.

"Great place but could be excellent if these issues addressed."

9.0

Great location. Very reasonable pricing for food and bar. Clean comfortable and very friendly staff.

Calling last orders in a busy bar at 10.35pm. went for a drink to be told it was charge to room only. Had to visit reception to add payment and nobody there. Breakfast items decimated at 8.45 am, slow to replace food, asked for fried eggs and had to remind 15 minutes later.

"Did the job for our short trip to Bedford. Nice hotel with good parking in central location by river. Room disappointing"

7.0

Location and decoration. Nice ambience. Great food and nice bar and dining. Lot of work gone into the decor and lounge were impressive. Breakfast very good too.

The bedroom view over rubbish at rear and double bed felt very small (not a king size only double- but we use to a super king at home) most hotels we stay at these days are at least a a king size. Air circulation poor but that due to modern hotels and inability to open window more than a few inches !! So all in all room disappointing.
