This is an old building and has some limitations on what it can do to improve. Rooms and corridors are in need of a refurb. Shower cubicle was tiny. Staff were good and the check in person on reception was very friendly and knowledgeable. Public areas nice and in a good location.

Hitchin weekend

Had very comfortable and affordable stay whilst visiting family in Hitchin. Would definitely consider returning. All staff were very helpful. Left a couple of items in the room on leaving and these were cheerfully found and kept on reception for pick up.

Good location but a tired hotel

Hotel is ideally located, quality and overall room condition is well below average standards. Shower regulater didn't work, although a late booking, the shower was larger than shower space the fixtures were dated, although some upgrading in some places ongoing. Breakfast was ok and the staff was helpful and friendly. The carpets are well used an tired

You get what you pay for.

Room was clean and had space. However wall paper peeling off walls. Marks on walls and doors. Bed uncomfortable to sleep on. Bathroom very moist with condensation everywhere. Rooms noisy above and adjacent. Reception helpful and friendly. Dont eat at Green King pub better food available at a cheaper price next door in Wetherspoons.

Noisy pipes

Room was quite tired and in need of an upgrade. Rooms small but to be expected for the age of the building. Plumbing needs attention as the pipe vibration at 0630 from another room showering at stupid a clock was a not needed wake up call.

Old doesn't mean neglect!

I get it, it is an old building. However, neglect with door to the room, bad fitting of shower head fixture and no shower gel, and a badly maintained window resulted in a less than satisfactory stay. Again, I realise the building is old but that should be a reason to make sure everything within the room is checked and serviceable

The room (19) should not be listed as a room, after a walk up and around the whole building, you get to the room and there are more stairs. It's a converted loft that only has half the room usable (I'm 5ft 8 and banged my head far too many times). You can't stand up to use the toilet. There's no shower only a bath, not ideal if youre after a quick freshen up before heading out. When crossing from the bedroom to the bathroom, you cross the landing of the top of the stairs, which encroach in to the way over, very dangerous. The staff were very nice though, very polite and proactive.

No respect

Me and my parter checked in around 3am then but got advised to call the number on the door and the nightstaff was very kind and helpful upon arrival checked us in no issues. I only booked the hotel because i was under the assumption i could check out at 12pm which was my mistake. We woke up around 11:30am by the manager I'm guessing, repeatedly knocking on the door to which my partner opened the door and said were just getting ready sorry we'll be a few mins. The lady then repeatedly kept knocking to which then i opened the door and said yes we heard you sorry were literally leaving. Then the lady then said were meant to check out at 11 so we're going to be charged for it and that she was going to call the police! I was sooo SHOCKED IN DISBELIEF i replied " sorry " ??? Im still shell-shocked by the attitude she had against us and have also taken it further by letting head office of green to deal with incident that occurred because nobody should have the right to speak to anyone like that. We simply checked in and went straight to sleep within 15-20 mins as we were both shattered. She was an eastern european lady with no professional experience in talking to customers. Highly rude and avoid her at all costs. Im sure head office will certainly take this seriously once reading the email of ordeal we went through. Disgraceful and absolutely appalled by how she conducted herself.
