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

Overall Disappointing

Disappointed with our stay here. Receptionists were helpful during check in and with local information. Parking on site which is good. Room was ok pretty basic and boring considering the history of the building. Complementary tv, coffee and biscuits but a bottle of water would have been good as well. No smart TV and the HD channels were muted for some reason. So had to watch in SD. Shower was nice but had my pet hate of a build up of limescale on the nozzles so this reduces power, obviously not properly cleaned or inspected. But the biggest issue was the sleeping, bed was awful and noisy, any movement and it creaked as well as our room being next to the some sort of air conditioning shed which was directly next to our window constantly making a noise. We had little sleep. Unfortunately it was too late at night to make a change when we discovered these things after getting into bed. Left feedback at reception but no response from the management.
