Reviews and Ratings
I loved the central location of the hotel, right in the heart of Hitchin, close to restaurants and shops. The rooms were cozy with old wooden beds and large windows, but the low ceiling was a bit of a downside. The service could use some improvement in terms of customer care. Dining options were not included in the price but were satisfactory. Overall, a convenient stay with some room for enhancement.
The hotel is in the town center of Hitchin, making it very easy to walk to shops and cafes. The rooms have modern touches, including a 4-poster bed, but some may find it odd that they don't have a hot shower and lack curtains or windows. The service could benefit from a lesson in customer service, although room service and housekeeping were satisfactory. The dining options, particularly the hot wok dishes, were not included in the price, such as the egg dish at £8.50. The location is very convenient, situated right in the center of town around various restaurants. A downside is that some may find the price not fully reflective of the facilities provided.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, with a lovely four-poster bed and a large bathroom, equipped with all necessary facilities. However, the service could use a bit of improvement as the staff didn't have the best manners. The location was central, right in the heart of Hitchin, making it practical but not ideal for leisure travelers. The dining experience was pleasant, with homemade desserts available. Overall, a great value for money with some room for enhancement in service.
