Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is situated directly opposite the Cathedral on Holywell Hill, offering a convenient location close to St Albans town center. The rooms come with hugely spacious bathrooms and all amenities, although there was an issue with leakage in the deluxe bedroom. The dining experience features delicious handmade pasta, and the service includes room service, housekeeping, and a welcome drink. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and room for improvement.
The hotel is centrally located, right opposite the cathedral and close to restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious, but some maintenance issues like a leaking bathroom and worn carpet were noticeable. The service was decent, with room service available, but could be more prompt. The dining experience, with Thai food included, was satisfactory. However, some facilities could use improvement, such as updating the worn-out carpet in the deluxe bedroom.
The hotel is ideally located directly opposite the Cathedral on Holywell Hill, very close to the center and surrounded by restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious, including a huge bathroom in the bedroom, although there was a minor leak detected.

The hotel is in a great location right across the road from the Cathedral and close to bars and restaurants. The rooms are comfortable, but the worn carpet was a downside. The service was excellent with room service and a welcome drink offered. The dining, although including toasted sandwiches, was somewhat limited. Overall, a place worth considering for your stay.
