Bedford Hotels with Bars

When I arrived the self-check in was fine but no map of the place or signage to rooms meant I had to ask other guests to direct me. There was no-one on reception or to be seen other than this kind couple. Later I went to get a drink and found that the bar was closed and had to order it after hunting down a member of staff. When they said I couldn't just pay for my beer but needed to pre-authorise my credit card for £50 (so I would need to check it before I left in the morning) I thought I would just go to a local pub and asked where I might find one. The main doors were locked and the only exits where via the car park or a dark scrubby alley. Needless to say as a lone female I didn't fancy this. I decided I didn't need a beer that much...I turned to go back to my room and a kind waiter took pity on me and got a beer for me and allowed me to just pay for it. No idea why this wasn't possible for the receptionist to agree to? Didn't love it. Maybe it is better on a week night.

We've stayed here before and enjoyed it then so have come for another stay. We were in a room right at the top this time and it was a rather small room and bed with a big pillar in the middle of the room. The ceilings were sloping which was a bit awkward lifting your head from bed, It was very clean and had everything you need. Would prefer another room if we came to stay again.

Very comfortable room clean and tidy. Great night sleep in a lovely comfortable bed.staff very friendly and helpful. Great location and parking at the door. With in walking distance of town centre and train station just down the street. Will certainly be back

We stayed in the Bedford centre Mercure hotel for two nights from 21-23 September. The hotel itself is fine, but the management is absent and the customer service is abysmal. I am so irritated by how terrible the service was, I would never recommend a hotel that treats guests like this. When I say the management was absent, I am being literal. There was no manager available to sort out a very simple issue we had regarding the car park. None of the staff on Saturday or Sunday could deal with processing a £5 refund and by the time we checked out on Monday there was still no manager. (Running late due to traffic apparently!) As the hotel car park we had paid for was completely full on Saturday - we requested a refund from the receptionist. She said she couldn’t authorise it, so offered a “welcome drinks” voucher for the “bar and restaurant” instead. We were also told that the car park would empty AFTER midnight when an event was scheduled to finish so could move our car then. We passed on this idea of staying up to move our car in the rain! On Sunday morning we took the drinks voucher to the restaurant and asked for two coffees. We were told our voucher was not valid and could only be used in the hotel bar. (The voucher said it could be used at the restaurant). So, I went to the receptionist and asked for a refund for the parking, handing back the useless drinks voucher. She said there was nothing she could do and would have to wait until Monday to speak with a manager. I asked who was in charge of the hotel today, she said no one. We checked out on Monday morning at 9:30, still unable to process a refund as the manager was running late. The hotel rang at 3pm and then argued with me when asking for the full card details I’d paid for, unable to accept that I’d paid by Apple Pay for the parking so the card number didn’t match the physical card. Eventually sorted … I think. I have to wait for the refund to appear on my statement. But what a hassle for a FIVER! The lack of customer care, the lack of empowerment of the staff to sort out a simple problem, being messed around - and the simple fact you are charging for car parking and not guaranteeing a space. My partner is disabled with limited mobility and we had to park ten minutes walk away. If we’d known we couldn’t park at the hotel we wouldn’t have booked it - and certainly we do not accept being charged for a service we couldn’t use. I felt that the whole team was of the impression of why were we complaining about a five pounds charge. They certainly gave the impression they didn’t care, which made me more determined to ensure I got the refund! So - in future I will avoid. Find a Premier Inn or independent hotel where the staff are enabled, trained and empowered to help.

The scenery at the door is very beautiful, there are rivers, parks, big geese, flowers and grass. It is also convenient to eat downstairs, there are many customers, and the voice is full. The first floor is all a restaurant, and there are many tables outside. But it's bad to eat downstairs to facilitate business. At 8 o'clock in the evening, I wanted to go to bed early because of the time difference, but my head kept buzzing, and my headache collapsed, especially lying on the bed. It felt like the sound of a certain machine, I thought it was a fresh air system. To the corridor, I found the whole corridor was this louder sound. Knowing that changing rooms is the same effect, but I can't resist the enthusiastic suggestion of Miss Ctrip, I went down to the front desk. People say it is kitchen equipment. Ha! I can say that there is a problem with the structure of this house, and the resonance is so obvious. This is the rhythm that makes people stand in the room. The front desk said the kitchen would stop after 10 o'clock. No way, go to the restaurant downstairs to have a cocktail, and stay up until 10 o'clock to go to bed. In the future, the hotel should be cautious about this kind of large-scale restaurant on the first floor.

Location and surrounding felt safe. As I was only staying for 1 night and had been invited to breakfast the following morning, elsewhere, I didn’t have the need to take up the offer of that facility. Maybe next time, as I was impressed with the hotel and their friendly staff, on the whole. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. I have no negative comments to make.

My granddaughter had a fifth birthday party so I booked a stay for the night to save the sixty miles journey back to Essex . Maths came into this and holiday inn came top of the pile with breakfast thrown in so a no brainer . But as you can see by my ratings for cleanliness etc this hotel is way better than you would expect . The room we had was very nicely decorated and spotless. The bathroom was the same but there are tiny little details that might go unnoticed, like the bath towels are size xl and the shower is quality , the bed mattress is top quality . I could go on , but for my money I feel I got every penny . Breakfast was buffet style , so cereal , full English ,tea coffee juice , fruit , eat as much as you like . Microwave in reception , where else do you see that ? Reception toilets spotless. This is an eye opener for me as travelodge used to be my go to . But no more

Absolutely fantastic, i was a little dissapointed when I was placed in the coach house initially, but quickly changed to a wow, bed was so comfortable, decent pillows, a round top bath and shower, nothing at all I could fault. I opted for the bar menu and again wasn't disappointed, fresh ingredients superbly cooked and the taste was fabulous, I would definitely come back again, I'm not one for high scores but this place is a 10/10

Every nook and cranny in The White Hart oozes grand antiquity and contemporary retrofitting has ensured comfort instead of a dated environ usually synonymous with aged structures. The White Hart hits the right buttons with tasteful decor and attention to details. There’re ‘gargles’ from old pipes probably and a cranky air-conditioner but I’m too tired to take note. I’m aware only because I’m a light sleeper. The only drawback was the overly long prep time for my breakfast, which I had to miss unfortunately due to a lack of time. Nonetheless the manager on duty exercised discretion for not charging me for a take-out lunch requested when I’m seated for breakfast.
