Staff friendly, breakfast really good and location excellent for transport links. The only downfall was the outside of the hotel is scruffy and the trains run right outside which is really noisy and the air con in the room is noisy so didn't get much sleep however the rooms are functionable and clean.

Really enjoyable stay at this very clean hotel, met by Aaron whose smile put us at ease immediately, he gave us a great introduction to the hotel and in moments we were on our way to our room. Daniyal was equally as helpful in the evening and most pleasant. The room was modern and very clean. This morning breakfast was near perfect (this type of hotel doesnt do fresh poached eggs) - everything was cooked well, hot, fresh and plentiful in terms of choice. The ever smiling Celia never stopped in the dining room and was so helpful for anything that was needed; the said dining room was spotless too. In short, very impressed, the team were delightful, they all worked hard but most importantly, they worked together. Highly recommended to stay here, great if you are going to Harry Potter World (equally brilliant).

Overall average experience, staff were nice. Had a 2am fire alarm go off because someone in room 715 decided to smoke in thier room. Not many staff on at that time which is normal, however there was no concern about the alarm, no staff members directing visitors to fire point, no staff checking fire panel, instead they continued to check in soms visitors... ended up outside for 10 mins in the cold and made our own way back in once alarm had gone off. The stay otherwise was fine, room and facilities were clean and adequate. Breakfast was average, eggs and coffee were awful though.

The wrong plot for a hotel so ok given this
The general location is excellent, it is clean and well maintained. The staff were also great. The location is down some dark narrow streets with a scruffy site next door and a parking area that is poorly lit and also with crumbling walls and old hoardings. I found another way to walk back on St Albans Road that was better lit. The bed is small and the air con noisy or with the window open there is significant train noise. The breakfast is ok.
