This is a lovely historic hotel and we enjoyed our stay apart from one thing (but this was promptly rectified) : initially we had a front bedroom facing the road which was busy and noisy all through the night. Fortunately we were able to upgrade to a rear bedroom which was wonderfully spacious and with much better facilities. The staff were very pleasant, polite and efficient, the hotel was fascinating and well-kept, and we would certainly stay there again.

Huge room and comfortable bed. Very old style hotel with the sink in the room, not in the bathroom which isn’t that much of an issue. The room was soooo hot though. There was a fan at least, but no aircon. Would be very cute to go in winter, but definitely not during this heatwave. Staff were very friendly and helpful

Historic building on main street, but old & new have not come together well in our room. The windows do not close properly and the blackout blinds are not effective, so early light & traffic noise disturbed my sleep. The decor is basic & a bit dated. Also the shower cubicle is too small to stand comfortably.

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

Had a lovely stay at this beautiful old hotel. Only stayed one night. Staff were very nice. We managed to get a parking spot, although spots are very tight.

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
