Great Stay with Excellent Service and Location

I really enjoyed my stay at Verve Hotel Bedford. From the moment I arrived, the receptionist was friendly and very clear about what the hotel offered and when – which made everything super easy to settle into. I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a double bed room, which was a really nice touch and much appreciated. The location was great too – just a short distance from the town centre, the rail station, and a big Sainsbury’s, so everything I needed was close by. The room was clean and comfortable, and I felt well looked after during my time there. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Cheap, but not cheerful.

Thin walls and a loud snorer in the next room. Discovered there was no hot water in the morning in either the sink or the shower. I had to rush to catch a train so no time to complain.
