We booked our wedding and wedding reception here at Harpenden House. This hotel was amazing and all the staff were brilliant and so helpful. When planning the wedding the staff were so helpful and would meet up to talk about the plans and help and give advice. I stayed the night before the wedding and booked a family room which... More

This hotel is situated away from the bustle of the city and is an ideal stopover for those working nearby. It's a 20 minute drive from Hatfield business park. The rooms were really large, quiet and well cleaned and maintained. The bed was comfortable with good range of pillows. The rest of the room furniture is a bit dated but... More

The room has everything one could ask for at half the price of a boxy airport hotel. Very well located 5 to 10 minutes to the airport, just on the outskirts of Harpenden, if you need to go into town. very good restaurant and bar and staff can not do enough for you. Very Pleasurable.

The room was well set out, a good size and very clean. Everything seemed new and unscuffed. The bathroom was large and very modern. The staff were charming and ever helpful. Breakfast was good as well. Overall this is a good place to stay in the area at a reasonable cost.

Last week, as part of arrangements for an Easter Dinner party, the Manager of this hotel provided 'beyond-the-call-of-duty' assistance with a particular tablecloth which I needed to use. Nothing was too much trouble, and both the front of house staff and the Manager had the problem solved within minutes. I cannot stress how delighted I was to experience Customer Service... More

Stayed here with my girlfriend for one night while visiting my good friend for his 30th Birthday. Didn't really use many of the hotel's facilities as only checked in at 4pm, had a quick afternoon nap, went out for the evening, then crashed out around 1am. The deal included champagne and chocolates on arrival which were delivered promptly, with a... More

Stayed here for two nights over a weekend. Overall was pretty disappointed. We arrived at 8.30pm Friday. Outside temperature was -4c and after a speedy and friendly check in we arrived at our room to find the radiator was switched off. The room was off an external court yard area so was absolutely freezing. We immediately turned the radiator up... More
