7.0 / 10.0Good·Mar 2026
Staff were very nice, also efficient. Breakfast was lovely. The hotel is very clean indeed.
The room was too hot and small. We did advise reception when we checked out. The black coffee at breakfast was too weak.

The Bedford Hotel, is in an ideal location. The hotel was clean and beautifully decorated. And of course as it was just before Christmas the decorations were very tasteful. The staff were very pleasant. My room was clean, well presented and a good size.
The towel rail wasn't working, but as only staying one night I was initially not too concerned. I made reception aware. However, when I went to have a shower in the morning there was very little pressure coming from the shower head and the water was cold! I switched the water on and off several times over a 15/20 min period still cold. As was the hot water tap in the sink. So I gave up, got dressed and was heading out for breakfast. But I decided to try one more time. I then started getting hot water, coming through. So I stripped off and got into the shower, shower gel on... Then the water was scolding... So I hastily switched it off, stepped but then had to strip wash at the sink to get the shower gel off... What a palava! I reported the situation to reception/receptionist who was very apologetic. Everything was documented in a communication diary.
She told me that the GM was in the building but not on duty. But she would make him aware.
However when checking out (approx hour and half later) having stated room 35 checking out the receptionist failed to make the connection and asked "how was my stay?" I stated "Not brilliant" she clearly hadn't heard the Not and said that's good news! So I repeated, "Not brilliant"
Then she realised.. She told me she had spoken to the GM but as he was not on duty he was unable to speak with me himself as he had to go and collect he's children... However sent he apologises.
Having paid £141 B&B which is quite a lot for one night. I would have expected some form of communication from the hotel regarding the situation. But to date I have not received anything.. which I find very disappointing. I don't think it would have been unreasonable to have been offered a good will gesture.
The Bedford Hotel I feel fell below the standard I was expecting for the price paid. The small cooked breakfast provided, although pleasant enough was a bit mean..
