Finde Hotels in City and District of St Albans

Sat 2 - Sun 3 Aug 24 Went with a coach trip for Blechley Park Was not looking forward to our stay, however, previous reviews we read were proved to be BS in most cases Room was clean and bright with a decent size TV. Bit of a treck from reception but it is a big place. Comfortable beds with spare quilts and blankets if you're cold. Bathroom a little small but with a large shower. Best quality bronco (toilet) paper ever experienced in a hotel. Bit of a stain on the carpet but you can't put new carpet down every time something is spilt on it and you only walk on it anyway. Buffet breakfast was OK, decent bacon but don't go for fried eggs. Good continental and fresh fruit too. Buffet style dinner was good, three dinner choices with choice of starter and dessert. Bar looked OK but we didn't use it. Bar meals are available. Pleasant grounds for an after dinner stroll in good weather. We heard no noise in the night, it was very peaceful. In all, a pleasant stay. If we are to return to the area we will use this hotel again.

Excellent pub with great staff and delicious food. Along the high street but I recommend heading further down the High Street to find this little gem. It also has rooms which after looking into further detail has great feedback. My wife & I not surprised but will definitely be booking a room with you guys too! Thank you so much!

We stayed for a Thursday and Friday night. The rooms are quaint it being a 15th century hotel. Room 1 is quite small with a tiny shower and toilet. Room 2 is much better and even has an air conditioning unit. The main issues with rooms 1 ,2 &3 is they are at the front of the hotel on a very busy road which goes uphill and thus generates even more traffic noise. The windows in the rooms are very old and do not shut properly and the secondary glass is ineffective. It means we were continuously woken up in the night due to the traffic noise. We were moved to room 2 after 1st night which was much nicer but still suffered from the noise problem. Unfortunately there were no interior rooms available. Our sons stayed in room 16 on the floor above which suffered similar noise problems, we were disappointed to have been placed in the two worse rooms in the hotel even though be booked 6 months earlier. On the positive side the breakfast was very good with tasty ingredients for the full English. There were also another 5 or 6 hot options. There are no pastries available which appears to have been discontinued so should be removed from the breakfast menu. The real positive not is that the hotel provide the wedding dinner reception for my nieces wedding for 50 people which was organised very well with very good food. So if you are booking check they are not allocating you a room overlooking the road in particular do not stay in rooms 1,2,3 & 16

Die Lage ist großartig. Auf der Straße, wo alle Banken, Geschäfte, Supermärkte und Restaurants liegen. Die St Albans Kathedrale Abbey befindet sich gerade im Gegenteil des Hotels. Für die Ausstattung wäre es jedoch am besten, wenn sie einen Haarkonditioner bieten könnten.

On flying out of Luton we decided not to fight the M1 south with the Monday morning commuters and stayed here overnight, what a good decision that was. The location is lovely in a beautiful farm setting with a large courtyard servicing the rooms. We were greeted by Katie who was lovely and welcoming and shown to Stable 3 in the far corner. A lovely appointed room with a king size bed, TV, and wet room, everything very clean and tidy with a very good selection on the tea tray, plenty of towels. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding of a high quality. Yes there is road noise but it's more background noise and can't be avoided so you take it as one of those things. Breakfast was very good with cereal, juice, lots of fresh fruit, yogurt along with tea and fresh coffee. I opted for poached egg on toast and my wife had beans on toast with veggie sausages. We loved the room a proper farmhouse character room with fireplace and flagstone flooring in the hallway, and lovely countryside views, perfect retirement house! So for £95 it is on a par with hotels at the airport but for the homely feel and the service provided we will now always return here if we ever fly from Luton again. If you are reading this then take my advice and book here, it's also an easy 12 minute drive to Terminal 1 car park. The Fox pub is 5 mins away for your evening meal, also very good.

Sehr freundliches Personal, sowohl am Empfang, sowie im Restaurant und auch die Service Kräfte waren freundlich, sehr hilfsbereit und hatten immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen. Die Zimmer waren ganz in Ordnung, sehr bequeme Betten, TV mit streaming Funktion (wobei es hier manchmal Komplikationen beim verbinden gab), zu meiner Freude stand im Zimmer sogar ein Bügeleisen mit Bügelbrett zur Verfügung, das Bad war auch in Ordnung, es gab lediglich typische zeitbedingte Gebrauchsspuren (kleine Sprünge/Risse in den Fliesen) über die sich hinwegsehen lässt. Ein Minuspunkt für's Bad gibt es jedoch, es gab keine Klobürste. Das Frühstücksbuffet hatte eine gute Auswahl, typisch englisches Frühstück, eine Auswahl an verschiedenen Cornflakes, Toast mit diversen Aufstrichen und es gab immer frisches Obst und kleine Gebäcke. Das Fitnessstudio und die Schwimmhalle haben uns auch gut gefallen. Rundum ein schönes Hotel und es war ein angenehmer Aufenthalt

There seemed to be plenty of little things not quite right with this place - all of which added up to make an experience that was most certainly not 5*. It started the day before we arrived. I called up to book a table for dinner. It turned out to be unnecessary as the place was very empty. An hour after this I got a phone call from the hotel to do with golf bookings. I had no intention of playing golf so was confused by this. We arrived before our check in time but were told our room was ready. We dropped our bags and went straight to the spa. The spa was a little tired. The seats in the changing rooms were worn, and lots of standing water around the pool. Obviously this happens around a pool but there were certain places where it was clearly a permanent feature. After an afternoon in the spa we wanted a drink. The spa is co-located with the golf club so I assumed there would be a clubhouse or similar. Nothing was open, and over two days we didn't see a single golfer. We went back to the mansion house for a drink. There is no bar - just a 'hatch' in one of the very grand drawing rooms with waiter service. The draft beer was not on, and the waiter had to ask three times to check my wife's order. There was no bar atmosphere at all as we were the only people in there. We went back to the room to rest and change. Our room was stiflingly hot and the controls for the air conditioning were broken. This is clearly not a new issue as there was a plug in radiator and fan in the room. The room was large and well furnished, just a bit dated. The hairdryer was of the quality you would expect in a Premier Inn and while there were some products in the bathroom there was no conditioner. We took advantage of the concierge car service back to Adam's Brasserie for dinner, and had a really good meal. We both had scallops and shared the Chateaubriand which was delicious. The puddings were a bit ordinary, whether they had or not they looked as it they came out of a box. We ordered a bottle of dessert wine to accompany our pudding but it never arrived. We didn't chase it as we were halfway through our pudding and thought we'd return to the 'bar' for a drink. We were a little surprised to see a large service charge added on to our bill. The service had been fine, but not worthy of such a tip, especially given the forgotten wine. Limoncello was an ingredient in many of the cocktails we'd seen when we had a drink earlier. My wife decided she wanted one, and I was going to have a whiskey. My first choice of whiskey from the menu was not available. Then I asked for a limoncello, which could not be found. At which point I gave up and went to bed. We slept well, and breakfast was quite good. I'm not sure I expected a buffet at a five star hotel, and the juices came out of a long life carton and were not freshly squeezed. I was surprised again to receive an email after I'd got home, cancelling my dinner reservation. Lots of little things that suggest the 5* rated isn
