A fantastic hotel with great staff. The only negative issue was the cooked breakfast. The sausage was very odd and the fried eggs were over-cooked.

Brilliant Staff

Staff were really attentive. Only challenge was the parking but having a local safe area to park was a great addition.

Great location 8n the centre of St Albans. Allow time to arrive due to limited space to park and check in. Breakfast is good and worth paying for.

Liked: Staff & service
Positives - staff were very helpful and ensured we had a disabled parking spot saved with cones. Negatives - decor and paintwork in rooms is quite marked/well used. It’s an old building so it’s not quiet, expect to hear the cleaners early outside the door and also floors/rooms above you, you can hear everything. This disturbed sleep at 3am for an hour, had to call reception to call the room above in the end. Overall, an ok stay but probably won’t return.

Sam Ryder Hotel.

I didn’t try any of the food / drink options but the room was great. Lovely large tv and comfortable bed. A handy master switch for coming and going and very clean and spacious. From what I saw. St Albans is a lovely little city and I was very happy with my choice of hotel
