Staff were really friendly and helpful. Bedroom was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. It’s a town centre pub so consider the noise (especially at weekends) but you can’t avoid that and it didn’t bother me. Would definitely use again.

The staff are the best part of this hotel. The room was pleasant but the bathroom was musty and the shower tray was dirty. The public areas are nice enough but the corridors have ripped and stained carpets.

Hitchin centre.

In town, good location. Rooms and corridors dated-possibly due to the hotel been old and having planning restrictions. Car park can be tricky to get a space when busy.
