6.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to the town center, but the noise from the surroundings was quite disruptive. The rooms, though outdated, had a comfortable bed and convenient amenities. The service left something to be desired, with some staff members being less than welcoming. Overall, it served its purpose for a night before catching a flight, but improvements are needed.

Location

6.0

The hotel's location was a major plus, close to the town center and convenient for shopping. However, the noise from traffic, nightclub, and early-hour activities was a downside.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast options were fine, but the need to go to a separate restaurant or cafe for food was a bit inconvenient. Overall, dining was acceptable but nothing exceptional.

Facilities

The facilities were basic, nothing extraordinary. The hotel lacks investment and needs a complete refit to match guest expectations.

6.4/10

I didn't expect too much for the price I paid for a 2-night stay at this old hotel, but it turned out quite comfortable despite being on a slight slope. The service could be better, especially with a cleaner making unwelcoming comments early in the morning, but they were available all day for assistance. The location was convenient for my work in Bishop's Stortford, being walkable from the station and town center. The dining options were limited, but the nearby cafe was friendly. Overall, it was okay for the price I paid.

6.2/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was great, clean, and comfortable, conveniently located near the town. However, it was a bit outdated and in need of a good cleanup, giving off a musty smell. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but there were instances of rudeness that slightly impacted my experience. The location was brilliant for exploring the town but suffered from excessive noise. The dining experience was acceptable, though with some room for improvement. The facilities were generally satisfactory.
