Hitchin Priory - Hitchin

The place itself is amazing. I came here with my newly wed wife, and she loved it here along with me. There is a certain aesthetic to the building that must be experienced at least once in our life time. The breakfast was great, no other breakfast can beat a proper English breakfast. The service and the staff was amazing. Especially there was a room service lady, Amy ( hopefully got the name right), she did everything to make us feel comfortable.

Excellent location, beautiful surroundings. Great for parking, although you need to drop off luggage at the entrance to save a walk from carpark ! VICE VERSA .
Rooms could do with a spruce up. Unfortunately, our duvet had ink marks on it and shower very small and seen better days.
Fan and heater were provided if needed. Windows in our room non opening .
We loved the features of the building and if you respect it's age, you can see past the other things.
Full breakfast provided, and there is a bar where food is available.
You can book a cream tea or walk across to the town and try some of the coffee shops there.
It was quiet, calm and relaxing . Really enjoyed our stay.

Stayed over night for a murder mystery evening dinner of 3 courses with optional overnight stay which we did and breakfast the next morning. Room was clean and modern although windows were hard to shut once open so had to ask staff to shut which was not a problem. Grounds are beautiful and the area was quiet and tranquil. It was 5 mins walk from the town centre with lots of shops. Murder mystery eve was very good and would recommend. I would like to give a massive shout for one staff member in particular a man called David who went above and beyond in all elements of our stay especially the window. I hope he reads this and gets the recognition he deserves. Because he truly was exceptional. |A very nice experience. |Thank you

A unique and beautiful oasis of splendour adjacent to the town centre. A wide choice of rooms at sensible prices. An excellent restaurant and a good bar menu. At this time of year one is surrounded by birdsong and quacks from ducks nesting on one’s doorstep! Quite literally.

A magnificent dining room, and a breakfast room with views to die for.

But on top of that, superb staff service! Caring, helpful, courteous. Just the best!

We stayed for 2 nights and held our wedding here. The buildings are beautiful BUT they do really need some basic maintenance. A touch up of paint, repairs to broken radiator grills, light bulbs missing. Simple fixes that detract from the overall beauty of the function rooms. Our wedding food was lovely and staff were very helpful. BUT they were very understaffed and I felt for the hard working staff who were definitely run ragged. The location of this hotel/venue could not be better and Hitchin is a lovely town so spend a bit of money hotel owner!

Had afternoon tea in the atrium. Was lovely in there, nice atmosphere. Food was very tasty. Did have a look around the other room to eat and outside the back could do a clean up and looks unloved and attention but felt it was a little tired. It has so much parental.

Rooms are dated and worn out, from a need to be cleaned to remove cobwebs and dirt on artistic pieces to redecorating needed on lots of items, it's all seen better days, service was poor with a lack of water provided for a corporate event, lunch git rained out and the team hadnt got themselves prepared for it wven thoughnit was in the forcast for the day. Location is beautiful but thats it's only saving grace. All parking is heavily overgrown and needs cutting back heavily.

Five stars for the employees I met in person, three stars for the venue and one star for the misleading "free parking." I checked my vehicle in on day one of a corporate stay, ended up with a £100 parking fine, and the hotel did not even have the courtesy to respond to multiple emails. That overshadowed everything, and I certainly won't return.
