Hotels With bar in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

Brilliant hotel for business trips, with clean rooms, wonderfully comfortable beds and great showers. The staff are super polite and welcoming. The hotel carpark is small with space for around 20 cars but there is use of the municiple car park next to it. It is within a 10-12 minute walk to supermarkets, restuarants and takeaways. Overall a great stay.

We booked at The Ridings for 1 night 29th August. The location is stunning and very quiet surroundings,  however, we were a little disappointed that the Hotel is under going refurbishment and we were not informed.  Upon entering the hotel there was no carpet on the floors and was just bare but the floors were in bad condition and also the ceiling was taken down exposing all the pipework metal tubing and wires.  It just did not give the luxury feel.  In the room it was clean and tidy but the carpet was straw carpet and did not have a nice feel following a shower.  It took an age to figure out how the lights worked in the room.  There was no telephone and the radio was a transistor radio.  We booked bed and breakfast but when we went to the restaurant we were told that we had not paid and as we were not on their list.  I obviously explained that we did pay and they contacted  reception who told them we had paid.  Unfortunately, we felt a little embarrassed as there were other people behind us.  It was not until we read the leaflet inside the room that told us it was under refurbishment.  I do feel this is something that should be pointed out in the very beginning. Overall, the location is amazing, staff friendly, breakfast was good but the hotel i feel let it down.  After all it was cheap for the night.  

The room was clean and comfortably warm throughout our stay, and the stay was excellent value for money. What truly made the experience stand out was the service; every member of the front desk staff we encountered was kind, welcoming, and always smiling. They were genuinely helpful with every request we had. While the location and amenities are fairly basic/average, the exceptional hospitality and cleanliness make this a solid choice for couples looking for a reliable stay.

We had a truly wonderful stay & would like to sincere thanks to the hotel manager - his name is Charlie & the entire team for making our visit so enjoyable. The manager’s professionalism, kindness & attention to detail were exceptional. It was clear that they genuinely care about every guest’s experience, that level of dedication was reflected throughout the hotel. The staff were welcoming, attentive & always ready to help with a smile but just a single receptionist made me unhappy anyway we really enjoyed & extended our stay for few more days. The hotel was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and exceeded my expectations in every way. Many thanks for creating such a memorable stay. I truly appreciate all the hard work & hospitality, I look forward to returning in the future. Highly recommended! Oh the location just 15 min drive to Harry Potters, an hour drive to Windsor Castle many restaurants with delicious food walking distance nearby…

Really enjoyed our stay. Hotel in good location just off motorway. Easy reach of London. Plenty of places to get food on site if you don't want to venture further. The staff were the friendliest we meet in a long time and made you feel genuinely welcome. Rooms and bathrooms could do with an upgrade but clean and tidy

Good place to stay near Stansted Airport as there’s a bus across the road from the hotel. Trip.com said there would be 1 double bed and 1 single bed in an accessible room. However we went back to reception and asked and they changed our room with a double bed and single bed. There was stains on the floor but didn’t bother us

We arrived at the Ramada Hotel by taxi from Heathrow Airport. It took about 1 hour and 20 minutes. I expected it to take longer since it's on the east and west sides of London, but it was closer than I thought. The hotel's location next to a service station meant we didn't have to worry about meals. It was great to have Burger King, Subway, Taco Bell, KFC, and two supermarkets nearby. Check-in was very quick, and the front desk staff were incredibly friendly. I liked that the shower stall was separate and the bathroom was quite spacious. Stansted Airport is about a 10-minute drive away, and if you call an Uber just before you leave, you can get a reasonable price! This accommodation was satisfying in all aspects. Haha.

I really loved the garden at this hotel. It was beautiful, peaceful, and felt very natural and relaxing. The room was okay, although there was a slight musty smell, and there was no refrigerator in the room. The hotel is very close to the Harry Potter Studio, and it is within walking distance from the hotel, which was very convenient. The reception staff and restaurant staff were lovely and friendly. However, the late-night bar staff did not seem very welcoming, even though the bar still had another 30 minutes before closing. They also did not inform us from the beginning that cocktails and coffee were no longer available to order, which would have saved me time looking through those sections of the menu. In the end, I decided not to order anything. Overall, I liked the hotel much more than I disliked it, and I had a pleasant stay.

This hotel is very conveniently located for access to and from the M1 (which is why I chose it). The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars for location is because if you fancy taking a stroll into the nearby village, perhaps for a pub meal and a drink, then the footpath is non- existent in places and you need to be careful in the dark. But that's not the hotel's fault and as the hotel is clearly set up for travelling business customers, I suppose most people would just drive a couple of minutes to the local pubs (which were more lively than the hotel bar). Aside from that, everything else was fine. The staff were all helpful and polite and the breakfast was delicious and filling. And the room was fine too. Overall, this hotel worked well for me on this occasion and I am happy to recommend it

Stayed at this hotel quite a few times before, it’s a very convenient location, within walking distance to the main railway station & with many amenities nearby. The Warner Bros Studios Harry Potter Tour is just a short drive away. The hotel is very clean, comfortable & organized. The staff are always welcoming & happy to help. Breakfast offers a nice selection of food items, good quality products & very pleasant restaurant area. Would definitely recommend staying here.
