Convenient warm & friendly spot

Pros: Apartment was beautifully warm in the freezing weather. Breakfast was delicious & service great.

Cons: Living area in apartment had an extremely bright green emergency exit light which made the room too light to sleep in on the sofa bed! (Bedroom was perfectly dark)

Great stay after initial panic when we found we had been given the wrong key for our room!

Pros: lovely old world Inn. The breakfast was very good… great cooked full English ( even on Boxing Day) and. good choice of fruit and cereals. The situation in Royston was good and there was plenty of space for parking.

Cons: We arrived on Xmas day morning to collect our key ( both for outer door and our room) as the hotel was closed after 3.00 p.m that day and not staffed after that. we arrived at about 10 p.m on that evening and managed to get into the hotel fine. However we had been given the wrong room key in the morning ( key for room 6 and not room 9).We found ourselves in a single room with an unmade bed , and not the double room we were expecting! luckily there was a list of numbers to call in the event of an emergency and we were able to call someone who came within 5 Minutes and gave us the correct key. our double room was fine though a little cold and we were unable to adjust the radiator to get any heat coming through.

Pros: Old style feel and central location. Room and ensuite were quite small but I wouldn't expect anything else for the price I paid. It was all comfy and clean, with excellent staff service.

Cons: N/A

Hugh 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Very good.

Pros: The breakfast is delicious and cooked to order so it arrives piping hot unlike big hotel breakfast bars with lukewarm sausages and bacon that taste of nothing really.

Cons: A little bit expensive for a stay in North Hertfordshire in a town you would not consider touristy.

Had a nice time

Pros: The friendly staff, the location, but it is difficult to find due to one way system, the breakfast was lovely, the bar was lively and good, and it was a nice easy stay.

Cons: I think the rooms need overhauling and a refresh, I think it probably hasn't been updated since the 80s , it needs some work. But it didn't spoil my stay.
