Guest Reviews
- Jorunn Lia (8/5): - Fint hotell. Hyggelig og rent og pent. Også ganske sentralt. Litt harde senger, men ellers ok.
- Magdalena (7/5): Nearly there - Location - 2 min from Harry Potter bus and train station, cleaning service lady was beyond nice and helpful, there was a fridge in the room, room was nice and spacious, bathroom was big and there was dove wash shampoo and conditioner provided. There was clothes moths in the room - I only noticed very late in the evening - and I have no doubt, as I killed 5 of them - I mentioned it at the reception when checking out but the lady had no clue what I was talking about... The main bed was good but as there were three of us the sofa bed was being used as bed too and it is totally unsuitable for that - if you sat on it it went up and you could feel springs when lying on it...
- Jonathan (9/5): -
- Rhianne (9/5): Good, cheap, would stay again, convenient. - Very close to station. Easy access and easy parking. Looked like homeless were living in the carpark potentially but werent present.
- Jason (8/5): -
- Severiano (10/5): - The close proximity to the railway station,the comfort and cleanliness of the room and the breakfast was excellent Nothing I can think of
- Zuzanna (8/5): Watford Junction - Czysty ładny i nowy hotel. Musieliśmy czekać dluzej na pokój, ale otrzymaliśmy za to darmowego drinka :) generalnie fajne miejsce na krótki pobyt Słychać dziwne dźwięki, stukanie, być moze z klimatyzatorów na zewnątrz.
- Marine (9/5): -
- Anne (10/5): Tasokas yöpyminen - Siisti huone, jossa tyylikäs kylpyhuone kylpyammeen kera. Hyvät shampoo&hoitoaine, vartalopesu ja - lotion kruunasivat kylpyhuonekokemuksen.
Erittäin hiljaista, ulkoa eikä käytävästä kuulunut yhtään mitään.
Aamupala oli runsas ja kahvi hyvää. Päivät alkoivat hyvin erinomaisesti nukutun yön jälkeen. Hinta oli korkea kun vielä aamupala piti maksaa erikseen.
- Terri (9/5): - Staff was very kind Nothing
- Per-Ingvar (7/5): -
- Jakub (8/5): - Wygodne łóżka, czysty i duży, mało zniszczony pokój. Cisza mimo bliskości ulicy. Bardzo dobra komunikacja z miastem - autobus i metro 5 minut od hotelu. Śniadania raczej ubogie (mały wybór produktów), ale wszystko świeże i dobre.
- Young (9/5): Watford Junction - The staff were really friendly, was clean with a pleasant atmosphere. Location was ideal and with parking, although at £12 a day i thought it was a bit steep for guests. They didn't have the twin room available i had booked, (apparently a twin room is subject to availability even when you book 6-7 months in advance). They did however try to accommodate our needs and set up a sofa bed. When I book for 2 adults its always assumed its for a couple and I run across this issue a lot when booking for myself and my mum
- Randy (7/5): -
- Ida (8/5): -
- Ian (7/5): Functional and Comfortable - Location and room was clean and functional Parking
- Charlotte (10/5): -
- Laura (7/5): Location great but not comfortable or clean. - Great location for easy access to the city Dated, stains on chairs, duvet and towels. Really worn and needs some tlc.
- Anne Maria (8/5): - Lovely staff. Clean comfortable room. Perfect location for visit to Harry Potter world, just up the road from where the bus leaves for the studio. All good 👍 Just one room key. I was sharing with my sister and could have done with a second key.
A little bit of noise on the morning we were leaving as there was some construction going on in the grounds.
- Libby (10/5): -
- Antony (10/5): Staying at The Holiday Inn. - Very well situated, for the Train Station, and the high street in the opposite direction. Check in was super easy, and a lovely clean, well appointed room. There was nothing, I didn't like.
- Agnieszka (10/5): -
- Dharmesh (9/5): Excellent staff at Holiday Inn Watford Junction!! - The staff at breakfast were friendly, efficient and very eager to help.
A big " Thank you" to Afsaneh and her team Aparna, Ridma & Paul. Nothing was too much trouble for them
Thanks also to Victoria at Front Desk
Plenty of parking available Parking fee could be lower. The room rate paid inc breakfast was possibly over market rate.
- Steve (10/5): - Everything. Nothing
- Guest (6/5): -
- Mel (10/5): - Friendly staff and goodhotel Nothing
- Emma (8/5): Great price, friendly staff, the hotel lobby was very welcoming. Rooms could do with a refresh - Great location, very friendly staff. The room was ok, just a bit tired - the bedding had a stain on the sheet, the bathroom had excessive limescale on the support rails which did look unsightly - a good scrub using white vinegar would solve this issue. There was hole where the carpet had worn/was fraying under the wheel of the bed.
- Bart (8/5): -
- Sahina (8/5): Good value for money - Location was good as its close to the train station. Room was clean. Good value for money. The towel rack in the bathroom was too high to reach above the bath tub.
The pillows were not comfortable.
The lights switches were connected to every light. You used to be able to only have the lights around the beds on, but now all lights are either on or off.
- PAULINA (10/5): - Smaczne śniadania, czysty pokój, bardzo miła obsługa.
- Fanni (8/5): 1 éjszakára teljesen megfelelő volt, szép környezetben es közel a WB studio ingyenes buszához - Nagyon szép, igényes szálloda, kedves személyzettel A reggelinél nem volt túl nagy választék, és magyarként hiányoltuk a több zöldséget és több fajta felvágottat. Illetve a gyümölcsös résznél a joghurtot.
Az ágy közepe nagyon be volt süppedve és párnák is elég kemények voltak. Egy nagy takarót kaptunk viszont kértünk még egyet, mivel nem szeretünk osztozni rajta. Először azt mondták hogy semmi gond, aztán hogy megnézték de nincs szabad takarójuk mert teltház van, így kaptunk 2 lepedőt. Viszont egyértelmű volt hogy ekkora szállodában nincs teltház.
- Lucy (10/5): - Clean, friendly staff, lovely environment in the reception/ bar area and room was really nice!
- Kelly (10/5): Amazing staff, great location and cosy room. - Every single member of staff was so genuinely friendly. The hotel location was perfect for us. The beds were comfy and the room was lovely. Breakfast was delicious. We ordered room service after a long day if travelling and it was so nice. The lady on reception also gave us a free drink voucher for my partners 40th birthday and it was a really nice touch. Everything was lovely.
- Soledad (9/5): Colchón sofá cama - Cercanía a la estación de trenes y bus de Harry Potter El colchón del sofá cama no era muy confortable
- Michelle (9/5): - Location On site menu. Limited choice
- Lathika (9/5): Good hotel to stay in Watford which is near the station. Helpful staff. - Very clean! Even the toilets near the restaurant.
Most basic necessities are found in the room to make the stay comfortable.
Delighted that there is a mixture of British and Indian food as well in the restaurant ( which is a change) from the last time we stayed. We had biriyani and were tasty! Nothing to report.

- Gavin Kehoe (9/5): -

- 4588e836648871c4959dd3b7f9ad945d (9/5): Pour les visiteurs des studios Harry Potter c’est l’hôtel parfait. En face la gare de Watford Junction (2mn à pieds), do - Tout. Rien.

- 4e2e5586039c73f7f61ed5dac1bca4de (4/5): Awful! Don’t stay there - Getting out of there! It was awful Car park was full, no help from staff where to park, bed was very uncomfortable and slept for about 2 hours, pillows were falling apart, bedding had rips in. When we checked out no staff to speak too. Did mention last night about quality of room. And staff ignored us. Really not worth the price!
- Carley (8/5): - Location Rooms a little tired.

- Gabriella (7/5): Great option for a visit to Harry Potter Studio - Great location, especially for a visit to the Harry Potter Studio. Breakfast was excellent. The room was really cold, even with the heating on. We asked for an additional blanket as we prefer to sleep with separate blankets instead of a big one. They couldn't manage this request and ended up getting a couple of extra bedsheets. No trouble, I just didn't understand, why they couldn't give us another blanket.

- Patrycja (10/5): - Przemiła obsługa, zawsze uśmiechnięta i pomocna. Dobra lokalizacja, świetna baza wypadowa do Studia Harrego Pottera (darmowe, hogwartowe autobusy) oraz na wypad do centrum Londynu.
Wygodne łóżka, cisza, spokój. Pyszne śniadania, duży wybór.
- Louise (8/5): Clean, friendly, central - Clean, friendly, central and chose it because there was plenty of parking N/A

- KCorr91 (7/5): Holiday Inn Watford Junction - Terrific service from reception staff, couldn't ask for better. Breakfast staff need to keep an eye on food stuff stock and mind their manners re: time with plate when done.
- Gaia Federica (6/5): Andato tutto bene - Moderna Si congelava inizialmente in camera
- Tatiana (7/5): Ottimo per i Fan di Harry Potter - Molto comodo, posizione strategica per visitare gli Studios e ATRIA Center per shopping Abbiamo avuto dei problemi con l'aria condizionata, la prima notte abbiamo gelato per il resto fantastico.
- Jonathan (10/5): Wir freuen uns auf unseren nächsten Besuch! - Wir wurden super freundlich empfangen, obwohl es schon sehr spät war. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und in einem guten Zustand, wir haben uns direkt wohl gefühlt. Wir haben sogar noch am Abend etwas zu essen bekommen und konnten dies auf unserem Zimmer verzehren.
Das Personal vor Ort ist einsame Spitze!
Besonders die Dame vom Frühstück hat uns zu jederzeit mit ihrer Herzlichkeit ein Lächeln ins Gesicht gezaubert. Wir danke für die schönen Momente, die einem das Gefühl gaben, dass dort der Gast wirklich König ist.
Die Lage war für uns optimal: wir waren nur über ein längeres Wochenende vor Ort um die Harry Potter Studios zu besuchen, dementsprechend war die Nähe zum Shuttle und den nördlichen Flughäfen für uns perfekt. Nach London hatten wir es nicht mehr geschafft, aber zwanzig Minuten Spaziergang entfernt ist eine kleine Ladenstraße mit Einkaufszentrum und dort haben wir noch ein paar schöne Stunde vor dem Abflug genosse. Durch die Luftfeuchtigkeit beim duschen im Bad scheinen die verchromten Haken zu ‚rosten‘. Ist nur ne Schönheitsreperatur aber würde dann wieder zum restlichen guten Eindruck des Hauses passen.
- Rachael (9/5): Really great value for money. - The staff was really helpful and catered to our needs.
We had a small baby with us and for our first time away from home, it was great.
- Andy (5/5): Ideal location, all of our family were together, ideal. - The location was ideal for us. We booked three rooms. They were all cold and one room the heating did not work.
- Heidi (10/5): - Fabulous selection and excellent quality!
- Richardson (10/5): -
- John (7/5): Fine - All aspects of stay were good. Watford town centre
- Michaela (7/5): - Very clean and a 2 minute walk to Watford Junction, the breakfast was very nice and had a large verity of choices.
- laurentboyer (8/5): -
- Simon (8/5): -
- Glenn (9/5): Fitted our purposes perfectly. - The location, so convenient for Watford Junction Station. Nothing comes to mind.
