Superb

Would prefer A/C and a...

Liked: The Hotel is in an ideal location for the Warner Bros studios which is the reason we visited Watford.
Disliked: We were based on the first floor at the front and the delivery lorry woke us up real early in the morning. The room was so so so warm, we had a fan but that just blew the warm air around, we opened the window which meant the noise was really loud in our room, so we did n have a very settled sleep. Some elements of the breakfast were good, however the tables were left with used plates ect which wasn't pleasurable to look at while we were eating.

Good

Liked: For those who are coming to Watford to visit the Harry Potter studios, the main plus of the hotel is, of course, its proximity to the shuttle bus stop. Overall, the rooms and facilities were what we expected - they were clean, modern, and everything we needed was provided.
Disliked: When booking the stay, we asked for a double bed. Upon arrival, we were told these were not available and that the hotel was allegedly full, so no switches were possible. We insisted, and in the end, we were offered a room with a double bed and a sofa bed. The double bed was way too small for two people to sleep in, and the sofa had already been unfolded, which meant we had to climb over it to open and close the windows; there was no room between it and the desk. Since we didn't spend too much time in the rooms, this wasn't a big issue; however, we chose to stay at a hotel mainly because of the breakfast. To our disappointment, the food was less than satisfactory - rubbery eggs and bacon, undrinkable coffee, and artificial juice. There were no fresh vegetables or salads. I guess it's okay if you're staying for one night, but the offer is exactly the same everyday with no change whatsoever.
