What guests think

At Ramada London South Mimms, reviewers report friendly staff and basic rooms, alongside recurring cleanliness and maintenance problems, confusing parking charges, and periods without hot water that have negatively impacted some stays.

Many guests value the handy location by major roads and the adjacent food options, with some noting quiet rooms and decent value for short stopovers. However, several reviews mention slow or unattended reception and poor communication during issues such as alarms or outages. Overall, expect a no-frills motorway stop with variable upkeep.

No one at reception, no idea how long they would take to come out, no one was around, I only checked in for few hours to relax, didn’t want to be standing at reception. Last time I stayed there parking was free, no where It mention parking fee. And the staff member said cash only and charged £5 cash. Booked a room for 2 adults, only 1 set of towels Tv not working Both above I could get a receptionist to address the issue as no one was there. Few hours later, whilst checking out, no one there again, just left my hotel card at the desk. Should attest have a bell for customers to notify the staff someone is there waiting.

As someone who stays in hotels 23 nights a month. I tend not write a review unless I have a particularly bad experience. I find this particular Ramada is below par. It has so much going for it, yet the things that matter it fails. GOOD POINTS: 1. Great logistically as it gives easy access to North London, The major Logistical Arteries such as the M25, A1, M1, M40 & is only 5 miles from Cockfosters for a tube into the heart of London. 2. Great Parking & amenities at the services. Plenty of Car Charging stations, Great HGV Facilities BAD POINTS: 1. All the bedding has many obvious stains on it. 2. They advertise the Gym as an amenity. I have stayed 5 times this month & have experienced a lot of mendacity from the staff. (The gym is full of bedding & mattresses) 3. The staff can be rather unmannerly towards guests. 4. The plugs within the rooms are nugatory at best as they are too close to the table. Restrictive to non-lateral chargers to plug in. e.g. Mac or Dell. 5. No extension cables to help resolve point 4. Makes it useless for professionals who need to work in their rooms. 6. Unsafe Windows on ground floor. 7. Broken tiles in the bathroom that creek and move below your feet. (High risk of get your feet pinched)

Having stayed at this hotel several times before, was very disappointed to be informed on arrival that they had changed their policy and now charge hotel guests to park at a motorway service station. Funny they did not think to advertise this beforehand.

The room we were first shown to smelled of cigarettes but we were able to change rooms. A used bath towel from the previous guests was still hanging in the bathroom and there was only one set of towels provided. This was swiftly remedied. The lift was out of order. The hotel does look a little tired.

We hadn’t scheduled to spend the night at the Ramada but due to adverse weather conditions ( especially on the motorway ) this hotel suddenly seemed like a sanctuary. We pulled in to the Welcome Break South Minns service station for a coffee & seeing the hotel, decided to stay overnight. Sadly it was terribly run-down & extremely shabby. It desperately needs a total re-furbish! Thankfully the bed was large & bed linen impeccable but the bedroom carpet & interior was really dirty as was bathroom. The taps of washbasin were absolutely filthy. The tiled floors had dust ground into the corners & begged for a good steam clean! The entire place was dated & felt totally uncared for.

Better sleep in your car. Absolutely disgusting experience. This place should be shut down and fumigated. The room was filthy, dust everywhere, carpets stained like they’ve never been cleaned, and a stench that hit me the second I walked in. It smelled like damp mold mixed with old sweat. The bathroom was a nightmare, with grime all over and a shower floor that looked like it hadn’t been scrubbed in weeks. The lift felt like stepping into a cramped shoebox. Honestly, I was scared it might get stuck. And the staff? Rude, dismissive, and completely uninterested in helping. When I asked to switch rooms because of the smell, the receptionist acted like I was the problem. Zero customer service. The only reason this place is still in business is because it’s at a motorway service station and people are too tired to argue. Do yourself a favour, sleep in your car. It’d be cleaner and far less stressful.

I was forced to book a hotel extremely quickly due to a broken pipe issue at my home. I don't live far from this hotel and it was quite cheap and now i know why! There is no grout in the tiles in the shower or bathroom floor, the mattress looks like a horror movie. I would avoid this place as it is not clean. I even brought my own hoover to vacuum the bedroom floor!!

The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The room when we got int here smelt like some a poo had been left in there, with the extractor in the smell didn’t go away. There are chips int he bathroom floor that had we had a little child could have hurt themselves. There was no grout in between the floor tiles a crack along the unit behind the toilet. It was also not the cleanest water marks on the toilet seat and behind the sink. One of the plug sockets didn’t work, one of the bedside lights didn’t work and there was condensation on the windows.

The staff were wonderful and very kind. But the rooms were dirty and the bathroom smelled horrendous - like wet towels and mold that had festered for ages. The beds were at least clean but not the most comfy. Good for the price but only if you won’t be in the room for much of your stay.

A bit disappointed that we had to use the next door service area facilities for food as we sure suggested the hotel did the breakfast. Shower wax fantastic though, very powerful.

There was fault with the fire alarm, which went off twice between 11.25pm and 12am. The communication about the fault was very poor and guests were left standing in the reception area with no information about the situation of what to do. This alarm fault caused a lot of disruption. However, it was the lack of communication which was most frustrating and worrying.

Had to pay additional fees to park on arrival which I wasnt aware of. Apparently if you book direct they waive this fee so hotels.com are also being naughty here but I dont like these sort of tactics. Also breakfast on site is 8.99 pp. Hotels.com charged 10.00 so again very annoyed. And to top this you have to eat in the services next door. Food was not worth the money. The room was tired. Bathroom white goods broke and repaired with staining around the room. Windows ill fitting and generally run down. It served a purpose but i dont know who to blame more the hotel or hotels.com for mis information.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. When my hairdryer didn't work they quickly replaced it. The building is somewhat dated. As it's at the Services there were plenty of places to get food.
