Stayed for 2 nights with my daughter in August to attend the Taylor Swift concert. Convenient location, hotel parking available at £7 per day, train station is 2 minute walk away from hotel. Clean hotel, everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. This is our second stay in this hotel to attend a concert and would definitely book again.

The common areas and the staff were all excellent, but the rooms were very dirty, especially in the carpets on the hallways. There was a lot of street noise, even though we were on the top floor. The area around the hotel was extremely unsafe almost looking like a back alley.

Stayed hear after Bruce Springsteen concert at Wembley Stadium. Room was spotless, check-in was easy and the girl is right next to Watford Junction. Breakfast is included. Lots of choice but small plates. Good taste really good. Hash browns were super crispy. "Air con" is so loud. We ended up turning it off and opening the window. This wasn't much better as right next to West Coast Main Line. Still managed to get a decent sleep. Would recommend to anybody going to Wembley or concert in London and need something convenient for the night.

Aircon not working properly
Room and shower were clean. Bed was comfortable. But we didn’t get to have a good night sleep because the aircon wasn’t working and it was warm. Temperature in the room was at 22 degrees constantly even when we set it to 5 degrees. We noticed it as soon as we checked in, and reported it to reception. We were advised that they will get it checked with their maintenance person. But when we came back that night the room was still at 22 degrees and wasn’t getting cold. Upon checkout 3 days later, we were told that the aircon/heating was actually controlled centrally and it doesn’t get cooler than 21 degrees. Not sure how they expect the guests to sleep in that temperature. We can’t keep the windows open either as the hotel is situated beside the train station.

Great staff, breakfast is your average hotel chain buffet breakfast. Great location for Harry Potter shuttle bus and for train into London but can be noisy. Small car park but we found a space no problem, did notice that it was full later on in the evening. You need to register your car inside at reception and pay a fee. Rooms were a good size but ours smelt like someone had been eating takeaway in it when we arrived. Opened the window and trains make a lot of noise (fine when windows are closed). Air conditioning was exceptionally noisy and didn’t seem to do much. I tried to phone down to reception to ask if they have fans, however the rooms all have a phone (we had 2 rooms) but they don’t actually do anything! No dial tone, so not sure what the point is. Went downstairs to get fans for both rooms as it was really warm. Staff were happy to provide, one fan didn’t work so had to go all the way back down again (7th floor) to change it. Shampoo, body wash and hand soap were provided. Bathroom was clean but shower is not very powerful. Room had a double bed, sofa bed, table and chair, TV, hairdryer, iron & ironing board and shelves and hanging space for clothes. Watford Junction train station and Harry Potter shuttle are about a 5 minute walk away. Centre of Watford is about a 15 minute walk with lots of shops and restaurants. Overall the hotel is in a good location for transport links but the rooms, especially the air con, could do with some updating.
