Standard hotel. Our room never got as cold as we set it so the nights were tough to get through…read more Breakfast was extremely basic and the same thing was served everyday. Good if you have family/friends over to drink in the evening as the lobby becomes very lively but not so great if you just need a place away from your room. Rooms were also alright. Very compact and if you're dealing with a lot of luggage, be careful of your toes!

One or two of the staff are less welcoming that I would expect. The included breakfast is terrible, but that's to be expected at a HI express. You can pay £5 per night for parking in the Matalan car park opposite, but be aware that the exit is hard to negotiate if you have a large vehicle, expect to kerb your wheels. I don't choose to stay here any more, there are better options in Stevenage.

This review is for the Afternoon Tea at hotel Cromwell…read more This having been my first experience with Afternoon Tea, I'm hesitant to leave a review but am confident the experience we received wasn't up to par. To begin with, the tea we received wasn't served to us--we were given pots and milk and told to serve ourselves. The sandwiches, too, were delayed and served to us incorrectly (on top of being quite unpalatable) I'd highly recommend spending the extra 50 pounds or so to go to Harrods or the Ritz. It simply isn't worth spending your afternoon at Hotel Cromwell.

Not at all impressed. Had to walk what seemed like a quarter of a mile to my mundane room,…read moreincluding having to go UP a flight of stairs and then back DOWN another.. Not fun when you suffer from a walking impediment. The room was the smallest, most blah one of my entire trip. However, the worst aspect must be the food. Dreadful dinner menu choices for somewhere that's supposed to be English, I struggled to find anything I actually wanted for dinner, and once I did, I barely ate a third of it - and it's not cheap. I actually walked across the street to the Indian restaurant afterwards and ate there...

Absolutely AMAZING!!!! Couldn't believe I found this gorgeous boutique hotel nestled in the quiet…read moreEnglish countryside, a 5 min drive to the shops in Hitchin and close to Stevenage shopping with trains into London! It was the best of both worlds, upscale amenities like the big chain hotels (huge towels, great beds, toiletries, hairdryer, towel warmers in bathroom, etc) but with the personal service of a B&B. The staff was so professional with true warmth & friendliness, from Roxana the bar manager(recommend the Hendricks cocktail), Chris & Leanna(superb wait staff), Tiegan (delightful receptionist), and Julia (dining GM) who overseas the delectable meals with genuine care for her guests. The food was 5 STAR, from breakfast to afternoon tea to gourmet dining!! I took advantage of the gorgeous steam room and spa services with a heavenly massage(they use luxury ESPA products) by the lovely Spa Manager, Charmaine. This hotel is a Must Stay when visiting London/Hertfordshire area. A truly indulgent experience at a great price ( hotel.com). Thank you so much to the remarkable staff at Needham House Hotel, Hitchin, for making my stay unforgettable, can't wait to return.

This hotel is very reasonable value for money, if your looking for a room for the night you can…read moreusually book in an anytime, you can book online and get special deals but usually no reservations are needed. The people seem pleasant and polite. The booking in procedure is very quick and easy and the rooms are fairly comfortable. being such a cheap room, you get what you pay for. No frills, small bathroom and you don't get any extras you have to ask reception for the simplest of things and more often than not pay extra. Sometimes the cleanliness isn't the best, and every visit I have had my room is on one of the top floors and the lift isn't very reliable and looks quite old and I am very reluctant to get in It.

This place looks a lot more promising that it really is. Only a small part of it is 'olde world',…read morethe bar is the smallest and worst I've ever encountered. There's a strange fusion with an Indian restaurant (which I didn't try personally but heard good things about). The room was very blah but functional. The 'don't leave the window open when you leave the room as you might be robbed' (not verbatim) sign, whilst refreshingly honest did mean a stuffy room due to a lack of air... The view of dwellings behind isn't the best either...Offset against that, the breakfast was excellent and the staff were very nice; hence the moderate review, very much a mixed bag.

I have been to several events at The Roebuck Inn, and have always been impressed with it…read more Most recently, my husband and I had an event here to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary, and I could not fault them on their attentiveness - they went out of their way to make sure it was a wonderful occasion. For what you get, the price is very good, and they are willing to shuffle things around for you on the menus to cater for what you are looking for. The rooms are comfortable and nicely furnished, and again, not too expensive really. If you are looking to hold an event, I would definitely recommend considering The Roebuck Inn, as I could not fault them, and would definitely look to use them again.

We chose this hotel due to it's proximity to family and to the train station. The room was clean…read moreand serviceable, but... the shower drained very slowly and the plastic toilet (in its own room) was a bit sketchy. They would do well to tile the walls in something bright (and easily cleaned) and getting a real toilet that doesn't have a loose seat! However, I was thankful there was air conditioning! The breakfast was decent. Not a ton of selection, but enough items to get your tummy full to start your day. The staff seemed harried the day we checked in due to a wedding, but still did their best to help. Thankfully there was a bar there so we could have a little nightcap before bed. :)

I've never used the actual hotel here, but I do eat here on a fairly regular basis. Their breakfast…read moreis an all you can eat style buffet, offering the typical full english cooked breakfast, along with continental options like cereals, fruits, yoghurts etc, not to mention the usual tea, coffee and fresh juices that tend to be served with breakfast. I would say that their breakfast food is of average to high in standard, but I have had a better fry up in a little cafe. The room they serve breakfast in is large and airy. The restaurant food is very good, and I would say that this is a nice place to go to for an evening meal, but the food they serve at the bar is terrible. I once ordered an omlette that was bland and tasteless and it was definitely not worth the money, especially considering that the prices aren't cheap. I have also found that the staff are not at all friendly - they are stuck up and snooty, they don't seem particularly interested in customer satisfaction and are more concerned with taking money from you and getting rid of you.

Stay: 2 nights - 18/6/25 to 18/6/25…read more NOTE: Leticia was very helpful in providing additional information. The hotel has been going through a refurbishment and continues (see more details on their site). Previously, none of the rooms were ready i.e., refurbished when I visited 17/3/25 to 19/3/25 and no safes in the room. This visit was different; I had one of the new suites (William - 12). As you'd expect all smelling rather new. There were stairs leading upto a lounge area for the pull-out bed and a separate chair. It was very warm up there as there was no aircon. The main bedroom had new aircon above the door and did its job. The room was well laid out. Perhaps the wardrobe would be too small for a couple using the suite, then also adding the use of the room upstairs (no wardrobe up there). A good size and modern TV was on the wall above the dressing table. The remote had two defined buttons - Netwlix and YouTube. Obviously, you have to use your personal account to access Netflix. However, it also supports "CAST", and with my mobile I was able to access: Paramount+, ITVX, and Amazon Prime. Of course, don't forget to sign-out before leaving. :-) WIFI I didn't find it to be a particularly strong signal in the room. Bathroom A good space and adequate shelf areas. My only niggle here is having a shower over a bath and cocking one's leg over to access. I prefer a walk-in shower. It does have a cascade shower and a separate shower attachment. At least it doesn't use a shower curtain (although the instructions on the wall refers to a curtain); it has a glass swing partition (best description I can use). However, when getting out it does mean that the floor becomes wet. I would have benefited from having a handrail to assist the exit. A rubber mat is provided so that you don't slip in the bath. Clearly, everything was spotlessly clean & new. Parking The spaces for the disabled were blocked off with a skip and partitions, in addition, a further two spaces adjacent to the ones for the disabled were blocked off too. Unfortunately, the message that that sends is that the disabled are not welcome. Driving around to the leisure centre "Nuffield Health" there were two more available for the disabled (but this would mean a longer walk to reception). As per usual (I find), one was used by someone not displaying the Blue Card! Reception Small reception area, but this temporary and the new one will be closer to the bar and restaurant. When completed, the temporary one will be used for access to the functions rooms. Bar The first night I was there the bar hadn't been completely setup for draught drinks and only bottled beer , etc., was available. £4.50 for a bottle of Becks (330ml) seemed excessive working out at £7.74 per pint. The second night. The bar was up and running, a pint of San Miguel £6.30, again, more expensive than expected. Also on tap was Camden PA & Stella Artois. A small serving bar, not yet fully stocked, I'd say. Limited in area of whiskies and gins available. It has a coffee machine for all of the standard offerings. It is situated in "The Great Hall". There is a large balcony overlooking the bar area. Restaurant I didn't eat in the restaurant, but I have uploaded the menu. Breakfast is buffet style and it's suggested that it will be replaced by a plated service moving forward. Nevertheless, I guess it is going to be down to personal preference. I didn't have breakfast, so I can't say what's on offer nor the quality. Staff All pleasant and ameniable. One exception, not major, as the person was professional in most ways; he brought me a bottle of Becks without a glass. I am of the age whereby I don't drink out of bottles in a restaurant. It was brought to me upon my request. Is it a lack of training or their personal experience? There's a mixture of staff, new and old. Apparently, the chef hasn't change post-refurbishment. They have a specials' menu that is changed weekly. The main menu items may change within the next few weeks. NOTE: I have no information about the function rooms and I'd suggest visiting their site. Why have dropped one star? Two things: the bar prices and the lack of a walk-in shower. Would I return? Not out of choice, as it is further away from my customer's site and, as I have mentioned, I think the bar prices are too high.

Quality of the food was good, service pro-active and if there was a question, they were eager to assist.

Good Room & Friendly Staff…read more I think everything ticks the boxes. However, the first night I had the gammon steak, nothing to rave about. The next night I had the sirloin steak (£22), it was oveer cooked, tough, and riddled with gristle. I mentioned it to the person asking how was my meal and I was honest. A sweet was offered, bit I declined. I didn't really want recompense, just a better standard. I'm afraid, at my next stay, I'll eat out. Shame really I had a good room with a walk-in shower rather than the usual shower over the bath with a curtain (which I dislike). Excellent breakfast. Very friendly staff.
