Room was clean and warm. Toiletries and towels good. Very close to train line so light sleepers might struggle with the sound and vibration. The breakfast buffet was appalling. For a hotel, the breakfast buffet was the size of a B&B buffet. We got there at 9:45am and were told there was no fruit ...

Spent time working in pubs with my friend and not being much of a regular tourist. But I like the town. Much more relaxed than London, but only 25 minutes away by train.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

There's a lot of history in St. Albans, dating back to the 700s and even a little earlier. It was an old Roman settlement back in the day called Verulamium. There's now a large park named after it, and also a museum about the history. Highly recommen

4/5 - Good

Didn't see much of it as arrived in the night stayed only one night then left the next day just after 9 am. So actually I saw St Albans when it was asleep.

5/5 - Excellent

Great City to be in just outside London. Oldest Pub in England the Fighting Cock, great food and atmosphere. Historic Cathedral just across from the Hotel. Market day every Wednesday just up the street, can purchase one of a kind designs.
