Free parking on site, friendly and efficient reception staff. Breakfast included
Really recommend this hotel we stayed for just 1 night as we was visiting harry potter studio for a joint birthday gift for my daughter and partners birthday we got breakfast in the morning included in the price which is really good as we have never had that option before when we have booked other places so it's really ideal if you are a breakfast person
Nothing
Handy location location, close to M1 and M25 The nearby Fullers Pub was a nice setting to have dinner, next to the river.
Nothing stood out as bad during my stay
Comfortable and a lovely setting by the canal

This was my fourth stay at this hotel. Always find the price, staff and location great.
From when you walked in the staff was very polite helpful like you had always known them. Breakfast was fair location was fine.
Room smelt a bit damp but was fine when opened window.
Il Direttore è una gran brava persona. Hanno commesso un grande errore e malgrado il disagio hanno cercato di rimediare al meglio.
Un po' datato
Staff were amazing and so helpful. Full cooked breakfast and lots of cold choices. Beds were comfortable.
Air-con in room very noisy and not sure it was working anyway, so just opened window ( very quiet outside) Accessible room had 1inch lip to access the bathroom and then a glass shelf on the left side of the doorway just at eye height. ( not sure why it's there ) The entrance door to my room was very heavy and once through would slam behind me, perhaps an automatic door to accessible rooms would be more helpful.
Bequeme Betten (außer Zusatzbett), Frühstück ok, Wasserkocher auf Zimmer, kostenloser Parkplatz
Zimmer eher klein, Zusatzbett nicht sehr bequem, wenig Sitzmöglichkeiten,
Parking was difficult
Było czysto
Wszystko było ok
I had an accessible shower. Room was very clean. Bar was able to give us a bucket of ice. Breakfast very good. Provided a fan in the room.
No refrigerator in rooms (for medicine) and to keep water cool.
Lift access from car park straight to rooms no need to by pass reception each time. Close by to Warner brothers studios.
Very expensive bar menu for food after a long day of travel wasn’t ideal! Bed very small!
Very comfortable bed and a great shower with good water pressure
I liked everything
Breakfast was lovely. Room was comfortable. Staff were friendly.
There was an alarm or a phone that kept ringing in the room next door or above which kept disturbing me. The AC was also quite noisy.
Staff and and room was clean, but not value for money as what i paid for.
Breakfast was just totally waste, bit old property so i don't think this is value for money at all.
Staff were amazing. Felt like a community.
Car park spaces were very tight.
The room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. The staff were good.
The soap holder in the bathroom had sharp edges that cut me on two separate occasions resulting in bleeding. I would appreciate a fair compensation for such a below standard service. The breakfast was also monotonous.

The Staff were excellent and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable.
Nothing
Staff were very friendly. Coeliac options on request at breakfast. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom had a dual purpose door that either separated the bathroom from the bedroom or the toilet from the rest of the bathroom. Location was super, I would happily stay again.
There was some litter around the rear entrance.
the room was spotless, and the beds comfortable with a view of the canal. The young man on reception who checked us in was excellent, friendly, efficient and helpfull. The surrounding area was interesting with a choice of restaurants/pub within waling distance.
The buffet was breakfast was not good. Most food was gluten free, cold and tasteless. the plates were also cold
المكان مريح ونظيف وممتع
Close to the station. Very clean. Staff were welcoming and exceptional, especially Christ at the reception. Simple breakfast but sufficient.
Nothing.
Good bedroom size, very clean. Welcoming staff. Free parking. Good location.
The quality of the hot breakfast was disappointing. The scrambled egg was tasteless, possibly made with powdered egg? All of the food was not hot enough. It’s great that breakfast is included in the price but the quality was not.
The breakfast
Needs a little TLC in the bathroom, in the room we had
It was the perfect location to stay as we had a family do at The Papermill, it was very clean and tidy VP and the staff we engaged with from our check in to our departure . Chris & Helen on reception and Michelle from house keeping
Nothing
Just what we needed.
A room overlooking the canal rather than the road behind, but that wasn’t a problem
Everything was perfect

Parking was difficult later in evening
Staff were amazing, breakfast great.
Car parking was extremely difficult. I wouldn't advertise it as ample as we struggled to find a space
Overall friendly staff and helpful, very quiet , everything you need in the room. Water hot. Breakfast was adequate with all the basics hot and cold you required.
Perfectly located for what we needed, breakfast included was a bonus. Asked about a cheeky early check in, lad on reception was lovely, allowed us to check in early and was very friendly and knowledgeable.
No hand soap in bathroom, used body wash from shower instead. Room is in need of a refresh but minor. Breakfast on day 1 & 3 (7am) was lovely and relaxed, not the best selection/quality but it’s free so that’s no drama. Day 2 breakfast (9am) was chaotic, staff who I assume was manager barking orders and telling people to leave whilst she replenished therefore people stood waiting with half of their breakfast going cold - this feels more a spacial issue that needs looking into.
The location
Shortage of parking spaces 140cm bed for two people Breakfast very modest Leaving time of 11.00 am
The staff were very helpful on a late check in even giving free water to compensate for no air con.
Nothing
Comfortable bed. Clean hotel. No fuss.
The shower cubicle was shabby Air Con not working. Poor lighting.
Ubicado delante de unos canales muy bonitos para un paseo agradable. Fácil de aparcar. Muy cercano a Harry Potter studios.
Desayuno muy inglés, pocas opciones de fruta o algo de queso o pavo si quieres albo más ligero. La habitación de cuatro era la doble con un sofá cama muy estrecho para 2 personas y casi no nos podíamos mover. Por suerte sólo fue una noche.
Staff very nice and helpful
Beds uncomfortable
Perfecte locatie voor ons familiebezoek en tevens een goede uitvalsbasis voor een bezoek aan London.
Er was veel te dun toiletpapier aanwezig 🤨
It was a nice room with a mini sofa. It was clean and modern with good lighting and thick curtains for the sunlight.
The air con was not working in the rooms during my stay and it was around the 30 degree area during the day. At night when I entered my room it was 25.5 degrees so it was difficult to sleep. A fan was provided but on the 4th floor it makes little to no help.
Ideally location for easy access to London. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Always seemed happy to help and available to support.
Very close by to good restaurants, Pubs and train station. Staff extremely accommodating and friendly and were quick to address an issue I had
Location was perfect for visiting family. Breakfast was amazing. Shower in room was brilliant and bed was comfy
The noise from carpark sounded like a party was going on. Limited car park spaces
Ideal for our purposes
Nothing readily comes to mind
Everything was fine
Staff friendly and welcoming, treat the kids well
Air conditioning working well in our room. Staff as always very friendly and helpful. Room comfortable and clean.

Vom Hotel aus sind sowohl die Harry Potter Experience und der Flughafen Luton schnell erreichbar. In unmittelbarrer Nähe gibt mehrere Gastwirtschaften.
Klappcouch sehr unbequem, Zimmer war für vier Personen (zwei Erwachsene, zwei Kinder) eigentlich zu klein.
Bardzo miła i zaangażowana obsługa oraz dobrą lokalizacja
Loved the location everything we need was a walking distance sainsbury the lovely by the canal. The staff was so nice and friendly. Room could be abit more updated but over all a very pleasant stay.
Nothing really just the room could be abit more updated
Accessible, good location.
The bed was uncomfortable!!
Room was clean and plenty of space. Good amenities included
Air conditioning broken so had replacement fan in room but couldn’t be helped.
Good price, staff where good, free parking and nice and clean .
For a family room it was too small. Less option for breakfast.
grandes chambres, propres. literie récente, petit dejeuner en libre service correct. proche du canal, promenade, péniches, avec vente de bières, glaces, ... pub avec terrasse sur le canal à proximité
Légèrement bruyant coté rue
Amazing location, friendly staff definitely would stay there again had a good sleep and a good time there.
Room was very clean and modern. Bed was very comfortable. The shower lacked power but very hot. Parking was good. Breakfast was good with lots of choices. Some of the food was cold and coffee did not taste very good.
I stayed in room 119 which is on the ground floor so there was lots of doors banging especially early hours of the morning when people left their rooms. The front door in the room needs some oil as it was creaking when opening and shutting. Otherwise no major complaints.
We love that it's only 39 minutes from Euston, via train. And the staff have been great, both times we've stayed here.
everything went well and the staff were exceptional
nothing
Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sehr gute Anbindung an öffentliche Verkehrsmittel.
Zu keiner Zeit waren Hotel-Trolleys verfügbar. Das Kühlsystem der Zimmer war defekt und wurde durch einen Ventilator ersetzt. Ein kleiner Kühlschrank im Zimmer wäre schön.
Personnels agréables, chambres propres et bien équipées.
My wife and I stayed for four nights at Hemel Hempstead, and I have to admit that it couldn't have been better. The staff were so helpful and friendly and really couldn't do enough for us. We were very pleased that we were given a choice of rooms when we first arrived and that all the rooms had air-conditioning as it was particularly hot during our stay there. There was a choice at breakfast and the tables and area were very clean and well presented. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.
I suppose the only thing that we didn't like was that our stay came to an end all too soon.
We received a very warm welcome from the receptionist staff. Nothing was too much trouble. We arrived early but they were able to accommodate us with one of our rooms so we were able to freshen up before heading to Wembley Stadium. Very helpful indeed including giving advice on local transport. Would highly recommend.
Nothing.
Clean comfy quiet
Refilling items at breakfast was a slow and its very busy
Clean and tidy.
No air con, room too hot, fan issued just blowing hot air unable to open windows due to road noise On checkout no staff around for checkout
Family room just big enough for the four of us on our mini break. Clean and tidy property with friendly staff throughout the stay.
Nothing against the property - only downside was a very loud resident in the adjoining room who kept the tv on all night and was heard on the phone through the early hours.
Very small room, no air con,
Allowed Early Check In
Nothing
De ligging, vriendelijk personeel.
De bedden waren wellicht wat aan de harde kant en de slaapbank was vrij klein
Very convenient location for Harry Potter Studio Tour big supermarket in walking distance Breakfast was amazing Staff was exceptional, observant and friendly
nothing to complain
The staff are all so lovely in there make you feel very welcome and I go back there every time it’s a really nice environment and the beds are super comfy
They could have a late check out
We had everything that was needed
Not enough electrical sockets and old phone sockets need to be removed
Convenient location for what we needed.
The hotel room wasn’t very clean. We had someone else’s hair on the shower walls, the bed sheets felt crusty and it was generally dirty and smelly. The breakfast wasn’t very nice either.
Perfetto rapporto qualità prezzo, colazione ok, pulito
Mancano un po' di amenities in camera ma tutto sommato perfetto
The breakfast is very varied and tastes delicious, the beverage selection is extensive and includes alternative teas. The vegan option is available upon request. The rooms are very clean and accessible, the bathrooms are adequate whilst being practical and efficient.
The lights beside the bed are not as easily movable and a little noisy. However they’re still useful and not a downside just an inconvenience.
The staff were all brilliant and nothing was too much. They greeted us on arrival and we're friendly and kind. They let me store my breastmilk in the fridge and collect it at the end of the day. We really enjoyed our stay here.
Ottima soluzione economica per chi vuole visitare gli studios di Warner Bros Harry Potter. Colazione buona, struttura accogliente e pulita. Parcheggio gratuito e ottimo pub nelle vicinanze
Sinceramente per il prezzo pagato nulla che non andasse

L’accueil adorable. Rien à voir avec la France, les anglais sont vraiment très accueillants.
Le bruit de la Clim et le petit déjeuner trop sommaire ( pas assez de fruits )
Das Hotel hat uns gut gefallen. Es war alles wie beschrieben. Direkt vor den Hotel gibt es einen schönen Pub mit ordentlichem Essen, sehr schön am Fluss gelegen.
Easy access good location with local eminitys. Staff friendly and approachable. Clean tidy rooms and in and around the hotel.
Parking was at a premium when I returned late at night. Breakfast was tolerable but not the greatest over cooked croissant burnt. Over cooked bacon. Poor quality juice Orange and Apple. Once bitten and all that.
venligt personale som gjorde os opmærkesomme på, at AC ikke virkede. Der var bare ikke noget at gøre ved det. Rent og pænt
Meget varmt. Næsten ikke til at sove.
evening meal and breakfast both first class
Air con was broken so room hot Room was roadside so hot and noisy cars because window open due to air con Fan was dated and noisy
The WiFi was excellent, easily accessible and decent speed. The hotel is right next to an external restaurant. The English staff were excellent.
The prices for the drinks were airport prices. The air conditioning being out for at least a week (I have no idea how long it was out beyond this) is not particularly acceptable when we’re hitting a heat wave. The car park is a bit of a safari. Buffet breakfast was a little poor but acceptable. But it was free
De kamer was schoon, en de badkamer was ook goed.
Het bankbed was dramatisch, de ruimte in de kamer was ook schadalig. we konden amper in de kamer rondlopen met 4 personen. Echt belachelijk klein voor 4 mensen. Sardines in een blik.
Friendly welcome, clean, comfortable beds. Handy location with a pub and couple of restaurants nearby
The aircon was broken, but we warned in advance and fans were provided. We have a ground floor room and it was ok. Breakfast is average but plenty of it.
Staff at check in desk were friendly, lovely, quiet location near to the canal, free parking, beds were comfy, staff were happy to provide extra tea, coffee and milk, fan in room which kept us cool (put it on window ledge to draw in the outside air) as air con wasn't working.
The room was looking a little bit tired, the ceiling looked like it had been damaged by a leak.
Comfortable room. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Good location next to the station for access to London.

Receptionist Jordan made us feel really at home. There was good WiFi and plenty of free parking. The breakfast bacon was good.
We booked the hotel because it's HOT (July 2026 heatwave) and it advertises Aircon in rooms. I got an email after booking to say the Aircon was broken but there'd be a fan in the room instead. It was uncomfortably hot.
Plenty of parking Close to bar and restaurant Close to Harry Potter World
Room little tight for 2 adults and 2 kids
