We stayed for a trip to Harry Potter Studios. Great location and value for money. Family room was good size and having the pool was an added bonus that the kids loved. Plenty of onsite parking paid at £7 at check in for 24 hours. Definitely recommend for a good value overnight stop.

Pool was pretty old and grubby. Staff generally nice and helpful. Ridiculous that you have to also pay for parking whilst already having paid for the room - not exactly a city centre location.

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Hemel Hempstead from 22nd to 25th March and had a very pleasant experience overall. The room was a good size, spotlessly clean, and the bed was especially comfortable, which made for a great night’s sleep. From the moment I arrived, I received a warm and friendly welcome that set the tone for the stay. A special mention goes to Gavin, who was behind the bar on Sunday and Monday evening. He provided efficient, friendly service and made the bar feel welcoming and relaxed. I’d also like to mention Derek, who greeted me at breakfast – a genuinely nice bloke and a great way to start the day. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service from the staff. I’d happily stay here again

Staff were excellent, from check-in to check-out they were brilliant. Derek was amazing and was a real credit to the hotel. He was so attentive to everyone he came into contact with and is brilliant with both children and adults, he certainly has a real way with people. Fahd, the head-chef was really friendly and positive. It was nice to see both enjoying what they do and it showed! Great location for Harry Potter studios.

Service was very good. Easy to get dinner at restaurant, didn't have to book. Quick service. Room was all good. Bathroom could have been a bit cleaner as there were hairs on the bath. Breakfast good apart from the bowls and plates being dirty, had to go through quite a few in the stack to get clean ones. Would stay again. Parking great and friendly staff.

8/10 Very good

We were met by very friendly staff and made our way to our room. It was well proportioned and fine for one night, but a bit snug for a family of four for any longer. Unfortunately there was an overwhelming smell of drains in the bathroom, but we arrived late at night and were just keen to get to bed so didn’t request another room etc. Only when getting in to the sofa bed did we realise it had only one single sized duvet for two people to share. Again, it was late and we didn’t contact reception for another. The breakfast was great - good choice and beautifully fresh. Friendly staff of breakfast duty, though we did end up with rather a lot of dishes piled up and would have appreciated them cleared away as we were finished with them. The swimming pool was fine - we had a quick swim and it put in the morning before heading off. The area does seem really tired, in need of proper repairs and a general freshen up. Overall, I would return.
