Staff excellent - friendly, professional and very helpful. Room very good, clean and comfortable. Good, clean bathroom. Parking is a little awkward, particularly if you have any physical limitations: public car park is fairly good alternative [paying for parking was the only surprise.]. Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice. Location right next to Watford Junction Station is very handy for city and regional access and connections. Would definitely recommend and stay again, particulary good for such as Elstree Srudios or Warner Bros.

Happy with our stay here - very convenient for the Harry Potter tour bus and train station. Only a few minutes of walking for each. Room as described, good size and clean - no complaints about the comfort. Despite a bar being on the next block, there was no noise issues (we stayed on a Saturday night). Happy to recommend.

Place was great, staff really friendly. Only issue was the room aircon which was stuck on the first night and really loud then off the second night but making clunking sounds. Other than the aircon the place was fantastic

The room was nice, it was clean and the beds was comfortable, you can hear the trains so it can get noisy, but I knew that and expected it to be noisy (so I didn't mind). The breakfast was nice. The only downfall and the reason why I gave it 4 stars was for parking. There isnt enough for the hotel, maybe 10 spaces for 100 rooms. So prepare yourself that parking is limited and parking around the back is usually taken up by people not using the hotel. Staff was lovely and helped out with anything needed. Overall hotel was perfect but parking is very limited

I'm writting this review 3 months after our stay. The room was ok and the hotel was well located. However I filed a complaint because during our stay there were several power outages, which caused a lot of inconveniences: no breakfast served that was paid for with the room, no possibility to dry hair, charge phones... not to mention that we were on the sixth floor and traveling with children (stroller). Among other things, the time spent finding a place for breakfast made us miss the transport and arrive late for one of the visits booked and paid for. To this day, I have not received any response from the hotel, not even an apology ...

Great hotel for visiting Warner Bros The making of Harry Potter. Close to Watford Station and Bus pick up for getting to the studios. Hotel staff friendly, rooms basic but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included and great selection of hot/cold options. Baggage storage for whilst we were out and about. Great stay. Please note, the dark street to get to the hotel from the station. Our Train was delayed and hotel have 24/7 reception but the street from station to hotel was very dark and quiet at 1am. But I was travelling with friend, probably wouldn't have walked down it alone.
