    Stayed over with "Garry C" & "Carrie. A" and other members of the family…read more Myself and "Carrie. A" stayed over 2 nights with our daughter in a family room which consisted of a room with a double bed & a couch that turned into a bed (double or single). For the bathroom we had both a bath & shower with a toilet. A 22" Flat Screen which was wall mounted in front of the bed for easy viewing. The room seemed very cosy but i got the feeling that this was a "budget" Travelodge hotel. Our room was also situated on the road side which even now as i type this i can here a little bit of traffic noise. The linen was very thin and the room while it had a electric radiator was cold at times but not as cold as the area where the stairwell & lift were situated. Bed was comfy but could have done with the pillows being a bit more plumped. Now onto Breakfast. Breakfast isn't included in the price and is an additional extra (around £6-£7 extra per person). Its the normal sort of breakfast you will find in 98% of hotels which consists of either cereals, yogurts, croissants or hot breakfast (egg, bacon, sausage & beans) which is all you can eat. Its ok, the food is not topped up but is left till it has run out before more hotter food comes out. On a minus, i'm no snob but one thing i don't want to be seeing is other guest coming down from their rooms to have breakfast while still in their dressing gowns & PJ's. I'm sure this may have just been a small group that were staying at the time but the lack of anyone speaking to them showed that there wasn't the slightest hint of a dress code. The Bar at night is expensive and so is the food (which can be picked up and taken to your room to eat). I didn't order any food so can't comment on it. The Hotel is good enough for a one night stay, and at a push 2 nights but anything above that i think i'd pay extra for a hotel that has some sort of activities (sauna or swimming pool ??) as it would drive me mad staying here.

    Okay, Travelodge Travelodge, when i think of this hotel, frozen food comes in to my mind…read more But lets start from beginning. Business trip it was, and this was our hotel. We arrived checked. I'm from East Europe we have different cable connectors, so i saw that reduction in that Vending stuff machine. I Bought it for 5GBP, it got stuck. So i ended up spending around 12GBP in that machine. Heh. Girls on reception told me that machine is not in their responsibility and that i should call number on machine. It was useless as was around 6PM eve. That is bit side story, be care full with that machine there its a money eater! So i headed to my room, i struggled for like 10 minutes to open the doors with the card. It was god damn magic once you figure it out you will never forget. Rooms were quite good, however small, if i should stay for more that two days i would not be comfortable. Towels and shower gels are included in bathroom. Food, we need to eat, but please don't eat down there. We had to as we had prepaid diner from Company. It was from frozen stuff microwaved back there. I have nothing to add, frozen food is not classified as a culinary experience. This was ridiculous, tasteless.. Breakfast were bit better but don't expect anything special only bacon, beans and sausage, but it was at least eatable and we enjoyed it much more than again i have to say it frozen dinner. WiFi connection is free for 30 minuted then you have to pay. Signal was good. Overall it good for one-two night stay if you want to stay longer don't go there.

    I have stayed here on a few occasions when I have needed a cheap room. I would only stay here if I…read morewas getting a £9 deal. It is cheaper than a Premier Travel Inn, but not worth the savings. The lobbies and halls are shabby and desparately in need of a good clean. The bedrooms have always been clean and warm but they feel very cheap and the TV often only picks up one or two channels. The whole place feels cheaply built and attracts the types who come in drunk at 2pm and let everyone know they had arrived. There is nowhere to eat in the hotel but you can order a continental breakfast to be delivered to your room in a bag. It does not seem good value. It is located next to the Town Centre but not in a great area to walk after dark. If I did need a cheap £9 room I would sooner drive up to the Travel Lodge on the A5 at Hockliffe.

    Hemel Hempstead Travelodge isn't one of the better hotels in the chain. As the previous reviewer…read moresaid, it's looks a bit grubby and shabby, although the rooms usually are clean. There is some parking at the Travelodge, but this is often full. I've never been unlucky enough not to get a space, but you could be left having to park away from the hotel, which would be far from ideal. It doesn't have a cafe / bar like some Travelodges. One of the big worries I have here is using the lift. It seems to take an age to move and I'm always scared it will break when I'm in it! Decent value if you can get a cheap room, and just need somewhere to spend the night and nothing else.

    Many years ago I visited the Brewers on a regular basis and decided to make a return visit to see…read moreif it had changed. The pub was almost the same with some minor decoration changes. Immediately a change in management was obvious. Walking into the restaurant we were interrogated as to whether we had a reservation. On saying no we were ushered into the bar area. No problem but badly dealt with, I feel. Ordering a pint and a glass of wine I took a menu as we weren't sure about eating but decided on seeing what was on offer to order. A shared platter was certainly enough as, in the middle, was a beautifully baked camembert with croutes. So soft and smooth. A terrine of smoked ham and chicken with wonderful chutneys. Chicken strips, crudites and humous. Certainly enough for a lunch. I'm glad I went back and will do so again if in the area.

    Pub was lovely. Has that country charm, with cozy seating and fireplaces. Lunch was great too…read more Prawn dish was yum and the cod was quite a decent sophisticated dish. Nice view of the green too. We chose to stay here for a cheap £60 per night overnight local option, that wasn't another soulless chain for £120+... and glad we did. We were a short 5min drive from Warner Bro's studio tour for Harry Potter. Kings Langley nearby had an amazing coffee shop, great fish and chips, good pubs and random little shops. We weren't planning to spend my time in the hotel room, by design (!!) and that's probably why it worked well for us. The room wasn't great. Badly needs a renovation to be honest. Bed wasn't very comfortable (pillows were awful) and the bathroom was extremely rough around the edges. But it was clean and convenient!! Heater worked well, shower was hot, kettle worked, plenty of plugs to charge devices... good pub on property... free parking.. good access. Job done.
