Cosa pensano gli ospiti

Al Kingfisher, le recensioni sottolineano una piacevole posizione sul fiume, con giardini curati e ampio parcheggio, personale generalmente cordiale, e camere pulite e confortevoli, evidenziando occasionali problemi di manutenzione e un valore o un ritmo a volte irregolare durante i pasti.

Gli ospiti apprezzano l'accoglienza degli animali domestici, le aree all'aperto sul fiume e la posizione comoda per raggiungere Bedford. I commenti sulle camere variano da spaziose e silenziose a segnalazioni di pareti sottili, tubature rumorose, servizi limitati e elementi difettosi. Nel complesso, ci si può aspettare una base panoramica e comoda per chi viaggia in auto, dove l'ambiente è il punto di forza e il resto può variare.

It’s maintained to an excellent standard . Tucked away off a busy road but with ample and excellent car parking facilities . Had a couple of meals during our stay which were excellent value served by friendly staff and set next to the local river.. perfect ! Well worth giving it a try .

This is a beautiful property and all the staff are very friendly and wonderful. The manager (Kay) and everyone else always had a smile on their face and happy to help. Kay also took us on a quick tour of the property and showed us the inside of the 13th century building now used for events (weddings, etc). Can't wait to go back in the warmer months and be able to dine outside by the river.

We had a one night stay for a meeting in the region. The hotel is not near to any other Pubs so you are rather captive, it has a nice garden terrace area next to the river, this is very pleasant in warm weather. We were however very disappointed that despite being residents we were not allowed to use this unless eating. A bizarre rule.

Hotel was good, nice and clean, however the restaurant is overpriced for the type of food they offer. What the hell is ‘oyster mushroom’ dish about? Paid £15 for it for the dish and it wouldn’t even feed a child. So 2 stars for the restaurant and food.

Soggiorno di 1 notte

Check in was the worst customer experience I have seen in many years. I arrived in front of the welcome desk, the lady was busy on her computer, she did not greet me, kept eyes on her screen for a few minutes. Another customer was waiting with me being totally ignored too and not being greeted too. Then the front desk lady looked at me and only asked “what’s the name ?” No “hello” no “sorry for the wait” no “how was your day today” only “what’s the name !” Clearly this person has not been trained to greet customers and customers are an annoyance to her. On top of this very poor welcome, the room was cold, heater was not working (march 31) and bathroom is outdated.

Soggiorno di 1 notte

I was in Bedford to clear my late parent's house, as I didn't know how long it would take, I booked into several hotels during my stay. Having noticed that the bigger hotels were indulging in dynamic pricing on one evening I booked into the Kingfisher (at about 6pm, so I can't imagine there would be massive amounts of people searching for a room at that time), assuming that as it was an independent hotel they must be offering something special for the exorbitant room rate,I am not allowed to mention otherwise my review is not allowed to be posted especially as the photographs would indicate that it was a very nice hotel, with bright and airy rooms. What I got was a dingy room with no air con, no mini fridge and tired decor which quite frankly was below the standards of what you'd find in a premier inn. It was quite galling to note that a couple of days later they were charging almost fifty per cent less . So I guess that dynamic pricing practices aren't just for the big boys. Frankly even £89 would still be too much for what you get. They promise "views over our grounds " well, I suppose that technically, the car park is within the grounds so the view of the car park I got would be covered by that statement, but it isn't what you'd really imagine from the website. Once bitten, twice shy. i won't be staying there again.

The room was disappointing no view overlooked a flat roof to other buildings. Window security broken. Lock on bathroom door broken if you closed it you were locked in!! Room 26. Considering we booked this room in January for 2 nights would have thought they could have done better. Breakfast staff slow and not attentive.

Initially been ignored by the receptionist and then told wait was not a good start, room key given to myself, no your room 11 and that’s just through the doors , down the corridor and to your right , it was find your own way . Tried to book a table for a meal , very busy you can have a table at 5.45 ( 10 mins from me arriving after three hour journey) or 8.00 o clock. So choose 8.00 turned up at 7.15 for beer at the bar , said I had booking for 8.00 to be told you can be seated straight away , the restaurant was very quiet. Meal , steak was not rested blood on the plate, also suspect straight out a refrigerator into pan , pepper sauce cold, but restaurant staff very good . Room , TV not working

Check-in set the tone for the entire stay. We arrived excited to check in to the hotel. We stood at the desk which seemed an age waiting for the member of staff to look up from his computer screen and acknowledge us. Eventually he did. Gave us our key and we went to the room. No information given to when breakfast actually was or WiFi code. Luckily these are on the key card. Went to the room. We had paid extra for a family room as we had our 13 year old with us. The room was just a double. Phoned down and told reception that we must have the wrong room and was told they would put a z bed in. This bed was terrible, one false move and my son spent the night sleeping on the floor as it kept collapsing. There are no net curtains, so as the room is so dark due to lack of lights, you can’t even draw back the curtains as all and sundry can see in your room!! Breakfast carried on the poor theme. We had to send back the Eggs Benedict, as it was inedible. So I switched to the buffet breakfast. This was scarce, not topped up at all and had a very small breakfast with about 12 baked beans. Checkout carried on the theme of the stay. There was no one on the reception desk. So we couldn’t convey our disappointment in the stay. We simply had to put our key in the quick check out box.

The rooms are clean and nice but no better than a Premier Inn so at £125 a night I expected a bit better. Don't eat in the restaurant if you are hungry! It's minimalistic and wildly overpriced for average at best food. They also put a service charge on before you get the bill which I found very arrogant. I requested it be removed both times as the service was poor.
