    Low cost hotel with efficient staff and delightful views of the lake. Top-class room and reasonably priced, with climate control and soundproof windows. Incredible location, feet from a shopping mall. And just next door to the embankment, other areas, and the town centre. A very nice stay for an overnight business trip...

    Unprofessional staff!

    effective air conditioning
    street noise

    The air conditioning worked effectively.

    The noise from the street was disturbing due to single-glazed windows that let in all the sounds.

    fantastic view
    friendly service
    rubbery food
    extra charge
    grotty exterior

    The spacious room offered a fantastic view over the river, complemented by an excellent breakfast with fine scenery. The staff provided friendly service throughout. The scrambled eggs at breakfast were rubbery, and parking was an extra charge, though reasonable. The hotel had a lovely ambiance but the exterior could use some attention.

    The breakfast was very varied and very good. Everything was offered: English, continental, fresh fruit, even different kinds of milk. We could only marvel! The staff is always friendly and discreet.

    Maybe there weren't enough hooks in the bathroom for the towels.

    tasty breakfast
    river view

    It was just a prime choice for a short interlude in Bedford with good value. Breakfast was tasty and enjoyed overlooking the river. Remember to check the room for sufficient light if planning to work.

    great breakfast
    friendly staff
    nice view
    dated exterior
    noisy windows

    The breakfast selection was delicious! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The layout of the lobby, bar and restaurant looked fancy and upscale. Our privilege king room had an amazin panoramic view of the city and a fridge! The bed was surprisingly comfy, gotta say i slept like a baby.

    the outside of the hotel looks kinda dated and there were a few issues with noisy windows at night.
