Not somewhere I’d stay again

Had to move rooms once as no TV 2nd room, wrapper found in room on radiator so unconvinced on level of clean. No headboard on the bed so sat up against the wall with the one pillow available Earliest breakfast 08:00 so despite paying with the booking was unable to get food before having to leave for work.

The hotel staff made every effort to make our trip a success. The food we had was excellent. On the negative side: I paid extra for a large double room to enable my wife and I to have room to sit in view of restricted movement within the hotel. Our room was large but the space was taken up by an extra bed and we only had one chair! I wanted to book a meal in advance but the hotel's meal booking system told me there were no places available. When we got there we could have booked any time. The hotel needs to provide much more accurate information before guests arrive.

Safe place to stay during COVID

Great COVID precautions- felt very safe there. The down side of this was that service was slow but we accept this at these times. What would have been a stunning building has been somewhat wrecked with not so modern alterations/additions which is sad. Fantastic location & grounds.

Quiet night but room tired and really ready?

It was the first week since reopening post Covid lockdown and things were clearly still working up. Bed very comfortable and room quiet - major pluses for us. Surprised that things not quite working such as shaver socket, dripping hot water tap in sink, door lock took a lot of twirling before it engaged, wet patches on carpet in entrance part of room - perhaps recent cleaning that had not dried properly. All reported as leaving to local management for attention. Shower easily controllable and good flow Breakfast (Hotels.com clients asked to pay extra) - delivered to rooms currently - asked when we wanted it said 9:00, suggested it'd be busy we said OK 9:15, by 9:30 had not arrived so called, told on way, when still not there 9:45 rang again to chase. Eventually delivered 10:00. Not all expected contents as advertised - no fruit or cereal, nor milk for coffee / cereal. Enjoyed bacon bap albeit coolish - room a long way from reception and kitchen. We solved mystery of where our previous breakfast had been delivered to on way out - a bag clearly labelled for 41 sitting on floor outside 47 On site Parking arrangements (400 yards from hotel) OK too Double billed - I said I thought I had already paid but assured not, sorted out once returned home and in doing so hotel promptly refunded duplicated charge + most of supplement we were charged for breakfast. Restaurant and bar unused as an overnight to save driving home after a meal in a favourite local restaurant

A tired out and run down hotel

The main building itself looks nice but the annex is in a very poor state with patchy paintwork, exteremly thin walls and a lumpy and uncomfortable bed. The staff were friendly but in general the whole place is a bit run down and poor value for money. We wont be staying again any time soon!

Tired, disappointing, basic & needs major refurb

Hotel very tired, and just doesn’t resemble the photos advertised in the slightest. From the moment we arrived in the car park, which was covered with parking warning signage, we were sceptical. Polite and pleasant staff checked us in, but then allocated us a room which, at best could be described as tired, dilapidated and basic. The whole annex in which the room was housed felt dated; the walls covered in dots and dabs of paint covering old marks etc; the carpet threadbare and the room looked more 1980s than 2020s. It really didn’t stand up against its price tag, when a comparable price got a clean, modern and more relaxing double room at a nearby Premier Inn. We opted not to stay the night in the end - as we just didn’t feel comfortable, though credit to the staff they were apologetic for the inconvenience. Couldn’t fault them, simply the hotel and dated facilities.

Beautiful building in an amazing setting, nicely decorated in the public areas and evidently maintained with care and high standards. But... breakfast was completely self-service and the two toasters only worked at half their capacity: 4 of the 8 toasting slots failed to heat up. The demand for toast is always high, so this created an impression of inefficiency and/or carelessness. My ‘economy single room’ contained the most uncomfortable bed l’ve ever paid to sleep in. The spavined springs complained with every movement, and a ratty old duvet had been inserted under the mattress protector in an effort to reduce the impact of lumps and failed suspension. I’ve seen better at the tip! All this came to light when l remade the bed, which was necessary because the bottom sheet lifted off when l turned back the upper duvet. It hasn’t been tucked in, let alone made with hospital corners. Overall, a class act spoilt by a couple of false economies!

The front desk was not a friendly start. We were a bit early and the gentleman said we were too early, didnt check if our room was possibly available as not high season and said to come back. We came back 3 hours later and the girl daid she was too busy to help. Finally checked us in. The room was extremely small, overlooked the front entrance so we had to keep the curtains closed so as not to be seen from the street. The bedside light was broken. There was no water oressure for a proper shower. The beakfast was mediocre. Had to make our own coffe and they started clearing food away before others had had a chance to go up and get something. All in all very disappointing. Lovely grounds and beautiful old building.

Hitchin is not a tourist destination so the Priory meets the demands of those who use it. The staff are friendly and helpful but don’t expect state of the art accommodation

Beautiful central unit but you sleep elsewhere

The central unit (reception and breakfast room) is a truly ancient and beautiful place with a stunning green garden on the rear... sadly our bedroom was not there.... but in another separate building on one side... called The Priory Cottage. This unit was quite dull.... not newly refurbished and the toilet decidedly old fashioned. It had no windows and a seriously poor aspiration system impossible to turn on... so a lot of steam after shower and it all passed into the room... smells included. Breakfast in the beautiful ancient building was good and the waiters kind, but new food was never brought once something was finished... a thing quite annoying. I loved the ancient place but sincerely the price paid was too high for the lodging offered (in the separate building).
