Nice welcome from staff, comfortable room on 2nd floor accessed by lift or stairs. Bed comfy, sofa bed could have been better but was fine. Air conditioning was only set to heat mode (in October), but you could turn it off and open the window instead. Good breakfast selection. Overall a good stay.

This is an excellent hotel with friendly, helpful staff; excellent, clean, good-size room with a fantastic shower room and toilet with a Jack and Jill door. All spotlessly clean. Breakfast was included and delicious. The buffet was replenished regularly.

Lovely Hotel Close to Bedford Town Centre
The plus for me was the included breakfast in what's an already reasonable price per night. Went for the Bedford River Festival weekend so this was out of town but about 10 mins into town by taxi at about £10 taxi fare
