Great hotel, special thanks to Harry who looked after us at breakfast. We are vegetarian and there was alot of cross contamination at the buffet. Harry kindly arranged our items to be brought straight from the kitchen to our table to avoid any cross contamination. Great service and will definitely be returning

Comfortable decent hotel. Good facilties.

Clean, comfortable hotel, excellent for getting into central London as apsley train station is a 2 min walk. Also close bus links if needed and good car links (M25, M1 or A41). Parking onsite can get busy but we managed to get a spot when needed. Breakfast was good and included in room rate which was appreciated. Friendly staff, room was clean and had everything you need (hairdryer, ironing board, kettle, TV, USB slots etc). Personally, we found the bed a bit small (queen size double) and firmer than home but we managed. Hotel was quiet overnight (good sound proofing). We've stayed at most of the hotels in Hemel and this one is the best overall, we will be back in future. Also worth a mention, the hotel is dog friendly which we will test next time. Bar available with good choice. Also seemed to be extensive menu on offer, didnt get a chance to try.

Really enjoyed the stay, bed was comfortable and room was acceptable clean. The staff were all very helpful and welcoming. My only disappointment was the air conditioning wasn’t working and the rooms on the lower lever were a bit noisy with what seemed to be trolly wheels. Breakfast was good.
