The rooms overall were very clean except for the carpet which was nasty looking. The hallways outside of the room were not very appealing nor was the building itself. Mostly the staff made up for this.

Great place to stay. Enjoyed it and had a very warm welcome. They had some works going on at breakfast which was very noisy but I asked the chap if we could have 15 mins to have a breakfast and he was very accommodating to pause for a tea break!

Quaint Stay

Really nice little hotel. Amazing food, and great range of drinks. Cozy bar area too. Room is old, but it's an old building, so looks the part.

Just stopped one night. The room was lovely. The bed was far too hard for me and hurt my back. The food was good. The location was brilliant.

Lovely pub, great food!

Great pub and food is superb. Service was excellent with really friendly staff. The only thing that let down the weekend was our room which is tired and could do with a refurbishment. All in all though, a great place for a weekend getaway.

Tired

Good central location and nice staff but condition of the room was a bit shabby. Big crack in the wall, marks on carpet and bathroom not as clean a i would expect. I did go for the basic level room and the bed was comfortable

Nice but could be a lot better

Pub was nice, very busy midweek. Food was delightful. I travel a lot for business and breakfasts like that are few and far between. Room was tired and basic. Water in shower was constantly between warm and cold. Bed was like a slab of concrete.

Room was adequate - nothing special but fine for a night. Staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast good - both choices and the food. Lack of parking a nuisance. The local multistorey is not expensive but still a hassle.

Lovely Coaching Inn but not worth the price!

Old English Coaching Inn style hotel in the lovely town of Berkhampstead. Friendly professional staff, comfortable bed and bathroom with shower over. Full breakfast menu. However, I don’t think the hotel was worth £143 for the night. Some of the rooms were outside, luckily it wasn’t raining and there were some umbrellas by the tiny reception desk in the bar, my room was outside by a shed with a courtyard view which was no view really as it was just an entrance to 3 rooms. The hotel exterior could do with some TLC. The breakfast menu was extensive. I ordered Eggs Royal with Avacado but asked for 1 eggs as this is a large breakfast in most places. But it was the smallest egg and half a muffin the size of the egg, the smoked salmon was nearly non existent and there was a tiny spoon of avocado. It was delicious but lost on the plate so if you order this, order with the 2 eggs. The hotel has no parking but parking is available at the sister hotel the Penny Farthing 10 mins walk away. Again I was glad it was not raining. If I return to Berkhampstead I will try the sister hotel next time.

Although the room was relatively clean, I did not feel safe not having a locking out door especially after recent incidents at Travelodge The hot water was lukewarm and hardly running out of the main sink tap Mattress was lumpy not that comfortable mould in shower on ceiling. Staff are very friendly unfortunately this is a very tired accommodation walls incredibly thin. For a pub with rooms, it’s on the expensive side

Pretty good, rooms are bit simple but sufficient and as there's a pub there's some noise outside. But overall pleased, especially with breakfast. Biggest issue was the far car park.

The Kings Arms is really convenient for the train station in Berkhamsted, just a short walk away. The room was clean and comfortable, although the corridors look tired and in need of some TLC. The food in the restaurant was really good - fabulous freshly cooked pizza in the wood-fired oven for dinner and full English for breakfast.
