Best Hotels in Saint Albans

The location is great. Located on the street where all banks, stores, supermarkets and restaurants located. The st albans cathedral abbey is just located opposite of the hotel. However, for the amenities, it would be best if they could provide hair conditioner.

The emails I was bombarded with told me that ”A warm welcome awaits you” but this wasn't the case, the welcome was actually cold and slightly awkward. Stayed on business for 2 nights, room was very very noisy (at front on to main road) with badly fitting windows. I got almost no sleep for two nights. I'd stayed in town because I wanted to be well-rested for work, next time I'll just get up at 4am and drive the 3 1/2 hours to St Albans. The whole hotel was in need of an update/refurb. Yes, I know it's an old building, but you can still keep it clean and up to date. Mattress was horrendous, lumpy, dirty and shapeless - years past it's sell-by date. There is really is no excuse for this sort of thing. The toilet had a macerator which was very noisy, and went off automatically when I used it at 3am. I think I woke up the people in the next room as I heard grumbling voices and then someone come out of their door and walk to mine and listen, presumably wondering what all the din was. Really sorry if this was you! The room was cluttered, with an excess of old furniture and heaters. Cobwebs and filth behind the bed. The sink was separate, actually in the room. Bizarrely, the tap was on a stalk and didn't quite reach over the edge of the basin but just ran onto the lip, which meant water went everywhere. Bar staff seemed friendly and helpful enough. I didn't sample the food. Would've been a one-star review, but for the really great central location, opposite St Albans Cathedral. Won't return.

We had high expectations after reading the website and based on the price. Overall we enjoyed the stay but it wasn’t quite 5*. The welcome at reception was efficient / lukewarm. There was also working going on in the lobby area. Our Chic room was on the first floor no mention of a lift or a help with the bags. The room itself was nice and the bed comfy, but the bathroom was pretty small for the price and perceived room standard. Our room was near the stairs and at the intersection of 2 corridors so a little noisy at times. My wife said the spa was wonderful. We ate in the bistro and thought the food was good an reasonably priced but the setting was quite functional. (Please invest in some vinegar!) Breakfast was fine but not special given the hotel. One or two areas are starting to look a bit tired. In general the staff were friendly and helpful. So in summary very nice but could do better. Would we stay again - probably, and it might help that our expectations will have been tempered.

Great location. Great concept. Friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable bed. First time at Thistle. My room was personalised with a welcome message on my TV on arrival. Breakfast was good too. Will book again.

Excellent stay if you’re coming from further afield & need to access the airport for an early morning checkin (approx 29 min walk). Room was clean, comfortable & some how kept out all the noise Although they currently breakfast included, you’ll only have toast & cereal available.

My family have stayed here to visit me many times, and always choose to stay here. Extremely welcoming and friendly team. They always smile, remember our faces and interact with the kids which is brilliant. Special thanks and praise to Charlie who is great and remembered the kids, and always chats 😊 Often, the service industry receive complaints, but the public are less likely to praise. But it is well deserved here. I hope the team receive this feedback. 😊😊

We have just come back from a 2 night stay. We chose this hotel as its a 30 minute drive from Wembley and wasn't expensive like the other hotels. We arrived 2 hours early for check in however the gentleman at reception checked us in no problem and gave us access to our room. Our room was a good size with a double bed and additional pull out sofa bed. The room was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our stay such as an iron, kettle, hairdryer and towels. There was even a little sign in the bathroom letting us know if we had forgotten anything just let them know. Breakfast both days was lovely with plenty of choice. It did get busy towards the end but we were advised of this on check in. We didn't get back from Wembley till 3am this morning but after a quick email to reception at half 7, they sorted out late check out so we could have a bit more sleep before our 4.5 hour journey home. The staff here work so hard and it seemed to be the same 2 faces our entire 3 day stay. I honestly don't know how they do it and keep smiling. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We will definitely return.

Hotel is a bit dated but was okay Very noisy as close to M25 and in a very busy services Otherwise was fine

We arrived late. Hotel called to check our arrival and explained to call before we arrived to be able to park on property. Staff were polite and helpful. Had to leave a £50 deposit, for additional charges, will refund what is not used. Just no details about thus on booking.
