I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with a big bed, complimentary fruit and cake, but unfortunately, they had an interconnecting door that made it easy to hear neighbors, especially during breakfast with a view of the carpark. However, staying for 4 nights allowed me to enjoy the ample space and the provided amenities, like the pod coffee machine.

The rooms were spacious and well-equipped with complimentary treats, but the interconnecting door made noise from neighbors easily audible. The view of the car park was not ideal.

The dining experience was slightly disappointing, not matching the luxurious atmosphere of the hotel. The offerings were average and seemed more in line with a lower-budget establishment. Hopefully, there is room for improvement in this aspect, especially considering the price charged.

The hotel had nicely decorated and decent-sized rooms with amazing views. They were clean, fresh, and had a comfy bed with a welcoming selection of teas and coffee. The service was top-notch, especially during our evening meal and brilliant breakfast. I will definitely return to this hotel.

The service was lovely, and the staff were very friendly. I felt sorry for them as they had to cover with so few of them, but they were sympathetic about my complaint and only charged me half of my room service bill. Some instructions in the room would be helpful on how to get the heating working.

The hotel's location was excellent for the center of Bedford, right by the river, with a convenient open-air car park at the back. It was very handy for exploring the area and close to a few local shops.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although a bit small for two people, were nice and the staff I met were very friendly and helpful. The service, including room service and housekeeping, was warm, welcoming, cheerful, and very helpful. The location was central and convenient, but I was occasionally disturbed at night by loud noises outside. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a variety of self-service options available. Overall, a good value for the price.

I stayed at the hotel for £88.40 and found the room to be enormous, very convenient, and comfortable. However, there was no storage at all, and the room on the 6th floor had a strong smell of Cannabis.
