Best Western Welwyn Garden City Homestead Court Hotel

If you’re used to a North American king or queen size bed, know that these are UK Double beds, so very small by our standards. It’s like a game of Tetris to fit two people on the bed. Probably better to sleep in two twins than try to share. Room smelled of perfume trying to cover the smell of cigarettes. Shower is a lukewarm trickle. Housekeeping “cleaned” the dishes but I know for a fact they did not touch the dish soap available in the room, so I don’t know how they cleaned them. Woken up every morning by the very loud sound of doors slamming. Front desk staff did not help us when we were obviously struggling to bring suitcases up the stairs. Just stood and watched. It happens to be a convenient location for us to visit family so we will be back, but choosing two twin beds next time. If you have other options for where to stay, take them.

It was a good price and convenient for my weekend visit to the area

Lovely staff, clean rooms, good parking.

Good value for money

Convenient for what I wanted. A good price. Clean and accommodating staff.

THE SERVICE WAS AMAZING REALLY FRIENDLY STAFF. THE STUDIO WAS REALLY GOOD VAULE FOR THE COST. GREAT VIEW OF THE PARK. BREAKFAST WAS COOKED FRESH SOOO TASTEY

Perfect stay, clean, helpful staff.

Helping with family flat move so this was v convenient and v good price. We were given accessible room which was spacious and comfortable. Didn’t require breakfast so can’t comment.

Ok but very worrying when staff hotel was Full be with a almost empty carpark!! The company staff wont stopping in a Best Western Again !! Due to safety concerns

The room was comfortable but the hotel is part residential with security on site. The gym facilities are a sports centre on the other side of town.

What an awful experience. Very old property shocking restaurant menu, so bad I didn’t eat an evening meal there and didn’t chance the breakfast. Great little pub up the road called the Chieftain which was the only highlight of this experience .

One night stay on way back from holiday. Check in staff member was helpful and friendly, area was quiet and had no issues.

A decent basic hotel, we were placed in the outside building which was quaint. Fire stick in the TV which was good in the eve. Comfy bed and decent shower. Breakfast buffet was a tad dire (selection of foods and really bad coffee) but they do make eggs to order which was good, I'd give it a miss and eat in Welwyn for the same cost. Location is very close to Welwyn, pub about 2 mins walk away does decent food.

Hotel needs a total refurb

Great price for a night as we were attending a function locally. The member of staff at the reception was very helpful and friendly.

Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Older building but immaculate. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Welcoming staff. Good food - nothing fancy but tasty. Very clean and comfortable room.

Old and amenities limited

It was ok.

Honestly we drove up and nearly drove away it was so drab and looks appalling. Clearly housing use and the sound of screaming babies from open windows we said lets just see the room as we wanted to be near Hatfield house - which it isn't really. The room was a small block next door called the peter room and it was ok. But why make it a twin room and have two towels etc but only 1 hot chocolate & 1 biscuits?? Then the noise....... there was a note on the table saying ask to switch rooms as they are aware of loud noise from next door due to it being a through door next to the tv. We could hear every single sound like they were in the same room wven when they were clearly patting a babies back to wind it. You shouldn't be able to hear things to that degree. We then turned on the air conditioning unit which is a stand alone unit snd super noisy but at least it drowned out next door. The beds are like sleeping on the floor and the shower was a walk-in disabled shower that does not drain very well and the entire bathroom floor gets wet so lovely going to the toilet after getting wet feet and nearly slipping over each time. I would rather sleep in my car than do this again it was absolutely awful. This is a truly honest and frank opinion of our stay.

We stayed in Hurst - a suit with a small kitchen unit and seating area. The main disappointment was the bed. At a standard 4.6" it felt cramped (used to a ft) but the main issue is that you rolled into the middle and therefore crashing into one another. Also, the temperature was not ideal as the quilt was to narrow for the bed. It barely touched both sides.

Plus - very clean, bathroom all new. Quiet room, very good breakfast. Minus - No quite enough room for two, room small for the price.

Wonderful staff, very helpful, we were given an upgrade unexpected gratefully received. A great stay we will go back. 😀

The staff were fantastic! Friendly, responsive and smiling. We - and they - both deserved a better venue - and whilst our accommodation was perfectly clean I found it sterile. Dreadful decor, (curtains a masterpiece, a nightmare all of their own) - and I wasn't enchanted by the unkempt garden, the disabled amenities, (we are lucky enough to be full-bodied) and the adjoining door with the notice about 'noise' - it just felt a bit creepy and insecure. The venue of the hotel is really unfortunate - nothing divides it from the housing estate. The whole place needs more thought, greater use of colour and brighter materials/paint generally. Not the worst, very far from the best.

Firstly my room key didnt work, had to carry all my stuff around with me. Then the room "Moore" was clean but quite dated, there were no modern 3 plug sockets by the bed. Had bought food to cook as was told there was a cooker i coudl use in suit. Tried to use it but it wouldnt come on, friendly male receptionist tried to help but his manager said it was off (despite turning on but not reamining on) - was told to use microwave.. So wasted money on food i could not cook. Manager would not refund me the difference in my meal costs considering the ingredients. Ive had better experiences at this hotel but the Suites are quite dated and clearly need a refurb. .

Good value

Great staff, good food, clean and comfortable

Great location, nearby park breakfast was great staff wonderful

Old and tired hotel. Needs lots of TLC. Didn’t serve food at weekends. Bar shut at 9 on Sunday Had phone taken from my room and hotel were very uninterested in assisting.

My stay was very nice thanks

Great hotel and staff
