A substantial hotel on the outskirts of Hitchin Town. Well placed, plenty of parking. The room was lovely and warm. There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Breakfast was great with bean to cup coffee. The staff and owners were very helpful. Highly recommended.
I spent four nights at this family owned hotel close to the Hitchin old town (only 13 minutes far by walking). Immersed in a familiar atmoshpere and retro style, my room was silent, clean and confortable. All the staff is very kind and committed in ensuring you a pleasant stay (they waited for me in spite of my arrival over the reception opening time). The full english breakfast was lovely. I will definitively recommend and consider this hotel when I have chance to work in Hitchin again. Thanks to Mimma and all her family for making me feeling at home. kind regards Fabrizio Massei
Love this hotel have stayed many times. Very clean rooms & excellent breakfast. Very friendly atmosphere. A little dated in the public areas but this does not detract from all the pluses
A small establishment which is also very quiet with ample free parking space. Stayed there for 3 straight weeks without any hiccups. Very good service & allowed us for late check out too since we were having flight in late evening. Wish the ladies all the best.
Staff will bend over backwards to help. I had a broken ankle that happened two days before the trip. They were always asking if there was anything they could get me. Rooms are most like a house than an apartment, showers are hot with good pressure. Location is excellent. It is a classic old time British bed and breakfast feeling. Don't expect the newest furniture or building that's all.
The firs hotel in hitchin was a great find. The staff were all so welcoming and absolutely nothing was a problem. Very relaxed family atmosphere with a really substantial breakfast to start the day. Pleasant ten min walk to town with some lovely shops. Spotlessly clean. All in all delighted.
Lovely hotel, with great friendly staff. Room was simple but clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking and easy access.
extremely friendly staff, clean room, perfect location if you need to stroll into town, tasty breakfast with a nice selection to choose from The only downside is there is no lift so struggling with luggage can be difficult. I have nothing bad to say as i was very comfortable in my 2 days stay here. (i travelled 2 hours to get here) The bed was comfortable and the pillows were not cheap tat- which makes all the difference! Private parking on site, and security so you feel safe. The free wifi was excellent as it gave a good signal. No problems there! overall, very happy and i give it 10/10
This straightforward hotel is 10 minutes' walk from the town centre and 1 mile from the railway station with direct services into London.
