Great location but hotel could do with some TLC
Stayed for one night - the hotel is in an excellent position and the breakfast was nice - however the room was really tired and the shower room well needed attention smelt musty and the shower is way to small and I’m not big - a finally positive was the bed was comfortable although not big enough if you are over 5ft8.

This is an old building and has some limitations on what it can do to improve. Rooms and corridors are in need of a refurb. Shower cubicle was tiny. Staff were good and the check in person on reception was very friendly and knowledgeable. Public areas nice and in a good location.

Nice stay in an historic building.
Quaint and charming building, nods to its history. Staff were really friendly and accomodating. The room was reasonably sized and clean. Both it and the bathroom would benefit from being spruced up - the decor is really tired and the window wouldn't shut properly. However, the bed was really comfortable and that made up it. Very good value for the price. Would stay there again.

An old and historic property- a bit querky. Staff very helpful but the rooms were basic and the lighting, in particular, was poor.

Hitchin weekend
Had very comfortable and affordable stay whilst visiting family in Hitchin. Would definitely consider returning. All staff were very helpful. Left a couple of items in the room on leaving and these were cheerfully found and kept on reception for pick up.

A cold night but otherwise OK
We were attending a reunion dinner in Hitchin and did not want to be driving home late so we arranged to stay in town. We were therefore only staying for sleep and breakfast. The beds themselves were comfortable but the radiator in the room was not working which made for a cold night, especially as the windows were not double glazed.
Breakfast was included and was excellent, with any combinaton of buffet and cooked items.

The whole building need materials repaired or replaced toilet don’t flush properly shower not good bed too small the floor in the room uneven we were there for a reunion the organiser booked a table for 12 people for evening meal and the organiser checked to remind hotel manager on three separate weeks coming up to the day of the stay than when the day came the organiser checked again about the booking for the table and the manager said they never received a booking for the table so the organiser had to find something else for the meal so the hotel closed the bar at six pm so it was a poor even alround
