The hotel was really lovely inside. Almost like a tardis. The staff were so nice and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was great, and when it came to breakfast, we couldnt fault it. Plenty of choice and a waiter who was very attentive. Overall a great stay and we'll be back again in October

We were put in a ground floor room, where we discovered the television broke up a lot and had no BBC. We reported it twice but still the same. The third day we were moved to a first floor room, where the television was perfect. It appeared that they knew the reception in that ground floor room was bad. Not impressed. We had planned to spend some time watching the Olympics on BBC, so missed two and a half days. Otherwise, all good!

Great stay, but pricey

Really enjoyed our stay here. We arrived into St Albans early and headed to the hotel. Though our room was not yet ready (we got there at 1:30 for a 3pm check in time), the hotel let us leave our bags so we could explore the city. Check in later (just before 3pm) was super quick and easy, and staff were friendly and inviting. Room was large and clean. Plenty of space to hang suits etc in the wardrobe. Bed was softer than i'm used to but very comfy. We were in 301, which was first along a corridor from the lifts. I had initial concerns about guest traffic on their way to their own rooms but happy to say. didn't hear a thing. Didn't need the WIFI, so can't comment on that. The included breakfast the following morning was very good. Staff were friendly and polite. The 'help yourself' continental options were fine but the hot food options were great. In terms of value for money, though I did have a nice stay, it was quite expensive. Not sure if that pricing was typical or it was a peak weekend. We had limited options when booking so could have just been very busy.

Fabulous location! Breakfast not included and extremely expensive to have breakfast at Hotel. Would have liked a small fridge in the room. Parking a bonus but hit and miss to get the parking closest to hotel. Great stay!

We absolutely loved our time in St. Albans and the Samuel Ryder hotel. The room was lovely and very comfortable. There was no mini fridge with water, but you just ask the front desk and they give you as many waters as you need. The breakfast was delicious in their beautiful dining room. The location is fantastic, directly across from the cathedral, and St. Albans is an easily walkable town filled with charm and so much good food. We look forward to coming back.

What a beautiful hotel! Receptionists so friendly and welcoming. We had a comfortable 2 nights sleep and that’s saying alot with a little toddler. The room and bathroom was very clean and breakfast was delicious. Definitely one of the best Hilton we’ve stayed in the UK.

London prices

My room cost over £300 per night plus breakfast. I was expecting much better. Central London prices. The room was adequate but nothing special. I had expected a comfortable suite for that price. The drain to the shower was partially blocked, so very nearly caused a flood. The breakfast (charged on top) was lovely, though I think they need to start serving at 06.45, or even 06.30. I had to depart at 07.30, so it ended up being a terrible rush. Lots of guests appeared at 07.00, which suggested there would be demand for an earlier start. On the plus side, it was convenient for my work.

Underwhelmed

The room was a bit like a bunker that had been deep cleaned with bleach. I've got to say for more than £250 /night I expected much more...certainly I expected a bottle of water in my room...or even better in the fridge. The staff were all very nice but it felt that 2x normal price should get something more.

Not bad. Dirty bathroom.

Not a bad hotel and definitely an interesting building. I arrived late at night so literally checked in, had shower and went to sleep. The only disappointing thing was the cleanliness of the bathroom. There was toothpaste spatter all over the blue painted wall, which is totally disgusting. Besides that though, the bed was extremely comfortable.
