4/5 - Good

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.

The check-in is a little weird having 2 receptionists in a self-check-in place. Also my booking was cancelled with no notice, but they did reinstate it - fortunately. The hotel and room is central and low cost - it had all you really need. No frills.

This hotel is lovely. In a really convenient location, out of the way enough to feel quiet, but only a 5 minute walk to tube. Staff are friendly, breakfast was decent, room was lovely and had great views.

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

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.
