Nam, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Came to Watford for the Harry Potter Studio Tour and this hotel was close to the train station and the free buses that take you to the Studios. It was a nice clean hotel with decent free breakfast.
Ines, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Hotel location is great for the train station.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff were very friendly and professional during check-in. Breakfast was great. They had a buffet offering a typical English breakfast, cereal, yogurt, fruit, a coffee machine and fruit juice. The location was great (a short walk to Watford Junction station). The room was spacious and clean. There are shops, pubs and restaurants just a 2 or 3 minute walk away. We would definitely stay here again.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Overall great! Nicely located behind train station, walking distance to town centre and dining options. Breakfast is nice, nothing fancy but all you need delivered in reasonable quality and order. Staffs are great, friendly and helpful

10/10 Excellent

Lovely hotel, good location

Lovely lady helped us with the check in, she was very friendly, smiley and helpful.
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff (all of them) are exceptional. They are polite, very efficient and extremely friendly. The hotel is very clean, and our room was lovely. This hotel is very close to Watford Junction and The Harry Potter Studios Tour shuttle bus. I’d say between a two to five minute walk. There is a fabulous shopping mall in the town centre, due to the weather we got a taxi both ways and it was only £5-£6 each way depending on the traffic. It’s easily walkable though. We dined in the restaurant in the evening and the food was piping hot and very tasty. I recommend this hotel very highly. Thank you for a perfect stay.
Carolyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff were very helpful and friendly throughout my two night stay. Would definitely use this hotel again
Ian, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Friendly staff, convenient location, but room uncomfortable as temperature we were told was hotel based and 23.5 degrees at night was too hot. The staff provided a fan but that didn't help much and was noisy. So not the most comfortable stay.
