What guests think

Nightcap at St Albans Hotel offers simple, budget-friendly rooms above a busy club and casino, with friendly staff and convenient public transport nearby, but recurring noise, no elevator, and mixed cleanliness and upkeep mean expectations should be modest.

Many guests liked the comfortable beds and strong showers, and several praised the on-site meals and complimentary drinks. Some guests noted dated decor, sealed windows limiting airflow, and limited TV channels. Parking can be tight and signage confusing, and a few experienced key card resets or room mismatches. A practical choice for a night or two.

It is a casino with limited staff, but the staff that was there was knowledgeable and friendly. No elevator had to walk upstairs shows a microwave in the room on the pictures but there was no microwave to heat up food. Mold all around the shower floor

There was no lift to the rooms. Difficult for older people to negotiate 20 stairs with their luggage. The shower was pathetic. No matter how much you turned the taps pn there was no pressure.

You get what you pay for and this was an easy and fine place for us to stay for the night and close to where we needed to be. The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel is not well signed, it is actually the St Albans Hotel club so is above the local 'club'. Due to this, is noisy into the night. The hotel parking was limited as the club patrons seem to try and park as close as they can to the front door. There is a substantial car park next to the building for patrons and hotel guests can use this as well. There are security cameras but I felt less safe parking there. The room itself was fine, with everything we needed. The TV's and beds were excellent. The hotel is so close to amazing food.

Noisy community because it is a club, bar, and casino. The rooms are spacious but need to be updated/modernized. TV channel selection was really limited. Parking spots are small and you can expect door dings. Neighborhood is rough. We experienced room keys had to be reset numerous times. Conveniently located near bus, train and tram.

One night stop over to see family. This hotel was just right although I spent little time there. But I found it to be clean and comfortable. Checking in was quick and easy and I parked directly in the front and could see the car from the room. I had one “tv problem” and the staff were quickly at the door and fixed my mistake. All in all a good place for a stop over
