The hotel is located in a wonderful riverside setting with great access to Hemel for work. The rooms were a bit cold and hard to find, but the staff was welcoming. The dining experience was nice but overpriced. Overall, a good choice for a Birthday celebration.

The hotel is conveniently located near a canal path, offering a calm and peaceful setting close to Berkhamsted for easy access. The room had some issues with noise and maintenance, but it was overall clean and tidy. Service was lacking in attentiveness and variety. The dining experience was average, with room for improvement in quality. The facilities were decent but not outstanding.

The hotel had spacious and clean rooms but left a lot to be desired with plugs that did not fit in the sink nor bath, and the tiles could have done with a good clean. The service was a mix of limited English communication and pleasant, well-mannered, and helpful staff. The location was beautiful, ideally situated between Berkhamsted Town and Hemel Station, with lovely grounds and a canal walk nearby. The dining experience was not the best, with overcooked eggs and undercooked mushrooms despite a widespread and delicious menu. The facilities were dated and unhygienic, yet the staff tried to maintain a pleasant environment.

The hotel rooms were a good size and quiet but very dated and rather dingy. Shame about the wet room rusted equipment and no plug in the sink, smelled of disinfectant. The location is good, close to the station but far enough away to avoid noise, with a few good pubs within walking distance. The service was satisfactory with walking distance to town and nearby attractions. The dining experience was functional, and the staff were accommodating to specific needs.

The hotel rooms were unexpectedly nice despite the barrack-like blocks set up, and the disabled-access room was comfortable. However, the heating being on after a hot day was a downside. The service was very professional and eager to please, though there were slight issues with activating room keys. The location was nearly ideal for my visit, with a nice view of the river. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a range of breakfast options but some overcooked and uncooked items. The facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was pleasant, and I enjoyed the terrace, but some aspects of the room were not ideal, and the dining experience left something to be desired.
Rooms

The room I stayed in had its issues. It was over a smoking area, which made it hot, and the windows couldn't be opened in the summer. The bedroom was very cold, and the musty smell was noticeable. When moved to a non-smoking room, it felt tired and musty.

The hotel is ideally located near Berkhamsted and the Warner Brother Studios, making it convenient for various outings. The rooms were adequate but had a few issues like thin duvets and narrow single beds. The staff was friendly and helpful, although some miscommunications occurred. The dining experience was subpar, with sparse offerings and timing issues. Despite some shortcomings, the peaceful location and proximity to attractions stand out.

I was pleasantly surprised by the charming hotel located next to the river. The rooms were cozy, clean, and offered a view of the serene river. The service was top-notch, with a warm and welcoming staff. The location was just what I needed for my stay, providing easy access to Hemel Hempstead. Unfortunately, the dining experience fell short with overcooked eggs and undercooked mushrooms, but the facilities made up for it.
