Comfortable decent hotel. Good facilties.

Clean, comfortable hotel, excellent for getting into central London as apsley train station is a 2 min walk. Also close bus links if needed and good car links (M25, M1 or A41). Parking onsite can get busy but we managed to get a spot when needed. Breakfast was good and included in room rate which was appreciated. Friendly staff, room was clean and had everything you need (hairdryer, ironing board, kettle, TV, USB slots etc). Personally, we found the bed a bit small (queen size double) and firmer than home but we managed. Hotel was quiet overnight (good sound proofing). We've stayed at most of the hotels in Hemel and this one is the best overall, we will be back in future. Also worth a mention, the hotel is dog friendly which we will test next time. Bar available with good choice. Also seemed to be extensive menu on offer, didnt get a chance to try.

Good

Really enjoyed the stay, bed was comfortable and room was acceptable clean. The staff were all very helpful and welcoming. My only disappointment was the air conditioning wasn’t working and the rooms on the lower lever were a bit noisy with what seemed to be trolly wheels. Breakfast was good.

Whist the reception staff were friendly and helpful I was disappointed with the Hotel. We stayed in a family room and the reading lights didn’t work so we couldn’t read after our daughter went to sleep, the free breakfast included a dead wasp in my coffee which I picked out of my mouth as I didn’t think it would digest too well.

Worth it.

Staff were amazing, very helpful and friendly. Room was basic but comfy with the exception of the chair. It would have been nicer to have a comfier chair than an office/swivel/desk seat. Shower was good, toiletries provide also nice. Towel was taken away on first day despite hanging it on the rail (ie we would have used it again) but wasn’t replaced. Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice. Would definitely go back.
