Nice welcome from staff, comfortable room on 2nd floor accessed by lift or stairs. Bed comfy, sofa bed could have been better but was fine. Air conditioning was only set to heat mode (in October), but you could turn it off and open the window instead. Good breakfast selection. Overall a good stay.

Not a great nights sleep
Noisy room on the ground floor with mechanical sounding noises and a view out into an area where staff bikes and equipment stored so you couldn’t have the curtains open

Stayed for one night. Absolutely ideal and the room was spotless. Checking in was okay as staff are multi tasking. Breakfast next morning was ideal and staff were very friendly and pleasant. Overall a very good customer experience and value for money

Superb hotel
This is an excellent hotel with friendly, helpful staff; excellent, clean, good-size room with a fantastic shower room and toilet with a Jack and Jill door. All spotlessly clean. Breakfast was included and delicious. The buffet was replenished regularly.

Lovely Hotel Close to Bedford Town Centre
The plus for me was the included breakfast in what's an already reasonable price per night. Went for the Bedford River Festival weekend so this was out of town but about 10 mins into town by taxi at about £10 taxi fare
