    Room exceptionally small, but as only staying for one night was ok.

    Friendliness of staff. Good breakfast and location.

    Only negative I can think of (and is very minor) a few spots in the bathroom needed a slightly better clean (grouting needs a clean in the shower, and show doors needs a descale), and a bit of dusting in the bedroom area. Otherwise no issues

    Lovely room, comfy bed, good shower pressure. Large towels big enough for my chunky butt. Staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast and coffee was great. All in all lovely spot on the high street, 100% good value. Assuming I get the job I was interviewing for whilst here, I will 100% be returning!!!

    Nothing bad to comment. All in all an enjoyable stay without too much disruption

    Perfect for a 1 or 2 night stay - we stayed after visiting Harry Potter World, and this was the perfect place to stay overnight and was about a 12 minute drive from the studios. The only downfall was the parking, but you can park about 150/200 metres up the road for free on the street. It didn't bother us but might bother others. Overall would definitely stay again

    Too dark to put on makeup and hair. Needed a light above the mirror.

    Nothing much. Hard to fault anything. There isn't actually any car parking - but there is a car park at one end of the (one way) high street, it's impossible to miss, just go in and park at the far end close as possible to the church and walk up through the church yard straight to the Olde Kings Arms. All of 2 mins walk and unlike most car parks these days it's just pennies to park there and free 6pm to 8am.

    Everything, perfect location in the middle of a lovely little spot Old Hemel Hempstead a dozen or so bars and restaurants within a few hundred yards, easily walkable by even a wobbly old codger like me. We didn't eat in the Olde King's Head but the menu looked quite temping as did that in the similar pub a few yards further up the street (which has amazing 200 year old French hand painted wall paper of hunting scenes etc.).

    Loved the history of the local area. Lady, apologies, I don't know her name, who has been at The Old King's Arms for over 20 years gave us lots of history and things to see and do locally.

    From checking in to checking out staff were very attentive, especially the lady at breakfast. The breakfast itself was really nice (full english) proper sausages. It's on a really nice street with different restaurants and shops. Parking was 1 minute walk over the road and very cheap. The room we was in was small and cozy. Decor was calming.

    The kitchen area of the room left dirty on our arrival, and the bathroom sealant was mouldy. The shower tray was dirty , bedroom beds rubbish underneath. Can be noisy nightlife for younger families and very steep stairs.

    Friendly staff , nice breakfast
