Been using this pub/hotel since it was first opened by the mother and son combo, stepping over off cuts of carpet and other things on the snagging list to get the place up and running. Have been back many times to visit my daughter who lives just up the road but this visit was a disappointment. The place needs a refurb, doors don't close, furniture damaged and things like the wrong light bulbs used in some areas. All top off by a 45 minute wait for breakfast, shame really.

A lovely nights stay.
Lovely 1 night stay as part of a business trip. Staff very friendly, ate evening meal in the pub downstairs - a laminated menu but great tasting pizza! Breakfast included in the price was good size portions. All in all will stay again when next in the area.

Full of character and well worth a visit.
Lovely hotel and full of character. Makes a great change to the usual corporate clone hotels. Really friendly people and freshly cooked quality breakfast. It would be great if the fans in adjacent rooms could be replaced. They sound pretty ancient and are really noisy. As a light sleeper this makes it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

I was expecting some noise as the property is a part of a busy pub in a popular area. There was no noise whatsoever. Check in was fuss free and casual. Comfy bed and decent shower.

Great little stay
We was greeted by a guy behind the bar. Saying we had a booking, he put a little sign out saying he would be back soon. He then took us to our room. My wife has walking disability. But, he just took his time and waited. Shame the weekend breakfast time was not before 8.30 am. But, the stay was still very good. even with window open, didnt hear much noise at all.

Lovely little place.
Recently stayed for a weekend with my wife. Stayed in room 4, which although it was compact it had everything you could need. Shower was amazing, bed was comfy and the air con/heating was perfect. The room was slightly dusty but not dirty, we wernt bothered by the dust, its an old building so expected it. Towels supplied along with teas, coffees, sugar and milk. Staff accomodated with everything we could need, english breakfast was lovely! Off the menu i cant recommend the steak sandwich enough!! Seperate entrance to the accommodation to come and go as we pleased which was nice. Could hear some noise from outside but i wouldnt say it was excessive and can hear other people walking around goin to their room but that is to be expected, nothing that would put us off staying again. Overall a great hotel to stay in, with lovely food & staff. Thanks for a great weekend.

Lovely hotel and staff, but in need of carpet wash
Lovely pub and hotel. The staff were very helpful and cooked breakfast and juices were good, although some plant-based milk would have been nice for cereals or coffee. Room was well prepared and mostly clean, but let down by the carpet - it was in dire need of a wash. Unfortunately I didnt have time to highlight to the staff directly during checkout. However I'd still recommend based on the character of the place and the excellent staff.

Good budget accomodation, great staff and breakfast, no fault of the hotel but sleep was challenging thanks to other inconsiderate guests deciding to have a very extended party in the hallways/nearby rooms in the very early hours of the morning.

We have stayed here a number of times in the past,when they had free on-site parking,which helped.Sadly,that has gone now. Pay parking is nearby and gives you a break between 6pm and 9 am. Room was good and breakfasts were hearty.

A bit quirky but lots of character.
Comfortable bed and good shower. It would be great if it had double glazing to reduce street noise. Also the emergency lights never switch off completely. Could be a problem if you are used to total darkness to sleep.

Nice homely rooms, much nicer than a generic hotel room. Breakfast and hot drinks made fresh for you each morning. Great service throughout. I stay here every time I'm here for work.

Quirky hotel with good nearby dining options.
Lovely quirky hotel in the centre of the old town. Great Thai and Indian restaurants only a short walk away. Friendly staff and good breakfast. It’s a bit noisy and the emergency lights in the room never switch off. Overpowering air freshener had to be unplugged and out in a drawer.

Old Town pub with rooms - highly recommended.
This is a great pub with rooms. I used it a lot before the pandemic and starting to use it again now. It's a great place to stay when in Hemel Hempstead. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Cracking breakfast (served by the wonderful Michelle). I definitely recommend it.
