8/10 Very good

We only stayed one night due to a tournament. However the check is was nice and early which meant we could come back and have a swim in between Games. The room was very nice, had everything we needed. Very nice breakfast.

September stay

Staff on reception, in bar area and in restaurant very friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and comfortable. Only negative feedback is why customers should pay to park on hotel site, this only became apparent after the booking was made so needs to be clearer.

Great two night stay

Hotel was perfect for what we needed. Clean, comfortable and close to Harry Potter Studios. Free minibar in premier room. Spacious room (104) with large bathroom away from main bedroom area. Food was a little pricey but expected at hotels and was delicious. Good breakfast.
Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good stay - hotel was clean, modern and tidy. The bar was well serviced, breakfast was good quality however it was rather busy and took a while to get service but this wasn’t down to staff not working - probably because we were at peak time. Would stay again

Won’t be staying here again

Site had times which you can only go to the pool can’t just turn up. Bar drinks not great of choice. Breakfast was horrible.

10/10 Exceptional

Pleasant experience, nice and clean room, delicious buffet breakfast, excellent and friendly staff. This hotel is in the suburbs but close enough to drive to Harry Potter. London zone 1 is quite far. The best way to get to London is via train and then the Tube.
James, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Not all that.

I guess we didnt have enough time to enjoy or relax as we were there for ny daughters wedding . A bit disappointed by our room it wasn't to our standards and the front desk receptionist seemed to be confused too.

Great hotel near to WB Studio Tour ⚡️

Great hotel to stay nearby to Harry Potter World Tour, enjoyed our stay very comfortable beds and lovely pool for a quick evening swim before bed.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay. Enjoyed the daily breakfast there, comfortable bed, very nice lobby and bar. Lots of families staying there. I would have liked a refrigerator in the room tho. The hotel manager, Christian, went above and beyond giving us advice about driving the rental vehicle towards planning our trips. Harry Potter Warner Bros studio is about 35 minutes away. The Hemel-Hempstead train station is about 5 miles away. Recommend it and the Tube as transportation to/from London zone 1.

Really happy with our stay. Very family friendly. Good to have the pool and great location for us
Corey, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I stayed here on a recent business trip and, unfortunately, the experience fell well below expectations. Check-in: The queue was extremely long with only one person on the desk. Another guest knocked on the office door and we could see three staff inside not serving. Only one additional person eventually came out, and when we asked if a third could help, we were told two was “enough.” This created an avoidable delay and a poor first impression. Pool area: While it’s a plus that the hotel has a pool, the upkeep needs urgent attention. I observed brown discolouration in multiple corners and general signs of inadequate maintenance, raising basic cleanliness concerns. Bar and night management: After the bar closed, our small group returned with one drink each from across the road and sat quietly in a downstairs area. We weren’t playing music or disturbing others. A staff member who introduced himself as “Ashley” and said he was the night manager approached with a very confrontational tone and immediately threatened to call the police if we did not move. The escalation felt unnecessary and disproportionate to the situation. Overall: Core basics (front-desk staffing, cleanliness, professional communication) were not handled well. I would recommend management review staffing levels at peak times, address pool maintenance standards, and provide training on de-escalation and guest communication for night staff.
