Excellent location, for the city and train station. The hotel was comfortable with good food. Parking was a little tight. The stairs inside the hotel are a little narrow if you are less able (understandable in such an old building)

Lovely visit to St Albans

Lovely historic hotel in centre of St Albans. Only negative is lack of plugs in hotel room. Ideally some near the bedside table would be useful. Probably not allowed to add more as building is listed. Had delicious home cooked breakfast. Plenty of choices at breakfast too.
