Top Bedford Hotel Reviews

Hunton Park Hotel

Hunton Park Hotel

8/10 Good
"Room: Clean room, welcome cake and petals on the bed. Nice and modern with all amenities you’d hope to see. Only negative was that the room was very loud. We could hear everyone’s conversation extremely clearly as they walked past our room which did wake us up, especially as we were by the start of the corridor in room 47. Hotel as a whole: Grounds were well kept however very quiet. I assume the hotel is a venue for conferences and weddings as lots of function rooms. Staff: Staff were 50/50. Some lovely others not so warm. Other facilities: Pool we didn’t use. Restaurant not used. Breakfast was nice. A good selection for £10pp and open from 8-11 which we thought was very good, normally breakfast stops at 10 so this was nice to see. Bar was small, it wasn’t busy so it was okay but I could imagine it different if busy."
