Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was superb, right in the heart of town and close to the Cathedral, the rooms were disappointing due to being outdated and poorly illuminated. The service felt impersonal, lacking genuine warmth. Despite its flaws, if you aim to be centrally located for exploring, this hotel could serve that purpose well.
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Hereford, offering a great base for exploring the city and its historic attractions. The rooms are beautifully decorated and cozy, but some noise from the kitchen extractor vent can be bothersome. The service is outstanding, with friendly and professional staff making my stay enjoyable. Dining options are good, with a delicious full English breakfast to start the day. The location is very central, although the temporary parking garage closure was a slight inconvenience.
The hotel is in a great location, perfect for exploring the city center and the nearby Cathedral Close. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, could use a bit of a refresh to enhance the overall atmosphere. The service was friendly and helpful, but some aspects like the food choices and portion sizes could be improved for better value. The dining experience offered a good selection, but quality was inconsistent. The central location makes it convenient for sightseeing and shopping, but some minor details were lacking.
The hotel's location is central, making it easy to explore the town and conveniently close to shopping areas. The rooms, though not as Deluxe as advertised, were nice for sunny afternoons and evenings, but the noise from the kitchen extractor vent could be disruptive. The friendly service was accommodating, especially in the bar and dining room, offering a limited off-menu breakfast. The dining experience had its issues, particularly with late-night drink availability but redeemed by homemade pizza. Overall, a centrally located hotel with some room for improvement.
