When I stayed at the hotel, I found that the rooms had some issues with temperature control as it was freezing cold at first and then became uncomfortably hot due to restricted windows and lack of ventilation. The location was great for visiting the Harry Potter studio tour and accessing cafes and shops in Watford, although it was noisy for sleeping. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to be helpful and comfortable. The dining experience was enjoyable with fresh and tasty food, although there were no evening meals available. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs.

I visited this hotel in mid-September to see family in the area, but the rooms felt too hot without air conditioning and resembled saunas during the warm spell, making it challenging to sleep. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, going out of their way to assist, which was greatly appreciated for our visit to the nearby Harry Potter Studio Tour. The location was fantastic for accessing attractions like the tour and London but could be noisy at night. The dining experience was enjoyable, with freshly cooked food, and the facilities were above average. Despite the room temperature issue, it was a pleasant stay overall.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were warm even in the middle of winter and directly above the staff smoking shelter, but they were very spacious and clean as a whistle. The atmosphere got a bit stuffy, with my work colleague wanting the window open, but overall, a comfortable stay. The service was a bit hit-and-miss with a mix of welcoming and hostile staff. The location was convenient, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and local attractions. The dining experience was delightful, with fresh, cooked-to-order meals. The facilities were satisfactory with some room for improvement.

The hotel is in a convenient location, ideal for travelers looking to explore London and Watford. The rooms are clean and spacious, although lacking in air conditioning.

The hotel had nice rooms, though a bit warm without air conditioning, but a provided fan helped. My room had one twin bed and two small beds for my children, which made it a bit noisy. There was a water problem, especially with the shower, during my first night. The service was lovely and apologetic about the lack of aircon. The location was perfect for our needs but slightly far from Watford Junction. The dining options were limited but cooked to order. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly staff and good service.

The location was perfect for our stay, with everything we needed within easy reach. Just a five-minute walk from Watford High Street and the tube, which was convenient for our visit to the Harry Potter Studio tour. However, it could have been more central to the bed and slightly farther away from Watford Junction than expected.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms, despite being uncomfortably hot due to their location above the boiler room, offered a good level of comfort along with a very satisfying breakfast. The constant noise from the boiler room throughout the night was a definite downside.
