What guests think
At The Bell Hotel, guests describe a budget pub-with-rooms offering basic accommodation with friendly staff and decent value, but recurring downsides include late-night bar noise, very limited parking, and shared bathrooms that won't suit everyone.
Rooms are simple and sometimes dated, with single-glazed windows and occasional maintenance gaps; several guests still found them comfortable and clean enough for short work stays. The central setting is handy for bars, restaurants and the station, though it can contribute to street activity around the property. Expect a no-frills, lively pub environment suited to budget-conscious travellers who can tolerate noise.

This is listed as a Hotel, however, it is a pub with rooms above it. There is no food offered, and the bathrooms are all shared. The towels provided are small, the windows are single glazed, so allow all the noise from the High Street into your room. The pub is open till 1am Fri and Sat, with very loud music playing till midnight. I spoke to the staff about the noise, he was rude, and refused to list to me. Stating it was advertised as a Hotel and Pub, this is not on the listing. I have concerns over Dara Protection as they insist on taking a paper copy of your details, as well as the electronic copy. These pages are kept in a blue plastic wallet, apparently locked in the safe overnight, and retained for 3 months. Despite this venue being close to my new work, I will not be returning. I had booked for 2 nights, I left after one.

We didn’t actually stay: the room we were offered opened directly on to the beer garden, on one of the hottest days of the year, when the pub had a late license until 1am. No parking, and little guidance for what local options were didn’t help. I should have checked reviews more carefully - this was the wrong choice for us. Room was spacious, clean, and well equipped.

Fantastic find! It’s a pub rather than a hotel, but the room was comfortable with tea and biscuits etc supplied. It was a shared bathroom which wasn’t a problem. The staff were fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help. I didn’t find it noisy despite it being Kareoke on the Friday night. Parking wasn’t on site but I didn’t have a problem parking just behind the pub in a small car park. A stone’s throw from bars and restaurants. Would definitely return. Thank you for a great stay!

I have stayed at the bell hotel before and knew the standard state of the place.. only booked as it was cheap and closest to the place I was working plus only 1 night.. only found out after staying before for 2 weeks that they do have a microwave, fridge on ground floor if you need to use it.. however the room (4) had a odd smell, no remote for the tv and did not work without a remote.. the window was not double glazed and made the room very cold .. bed is outdated and very uncomfortable compared to the last time I stayed.. wasn’t impressed this time round. No parking as mainly taken up by the locals as it’s the same cars from the last past weeks I have stayed.. you have to wait after 6pm if you want to park on the street with out getting a ticket.. very nosy from the boy races late at night.. hardly got any sleep.. was not happy this time round..

I think it was advertised as loud music but very loud until early hrs of the morning would not be suited to many . Rather intimidating clientele within the bar area which would be recommended to avoid entering. Other than that , if you can manage to get past the intoxicated persons at the rear Garden entrance to the staircase and saftey to your room then at least the rooms are clean and tidy.

This is a good old fashioned pub, with down to earth hard working folks. Bev and the rest made me feel really welcome. I was lucky enough to be staying during the big music fest in town. Fridays there is karaoke or a DJ. A very local regular crowd. Hope to stay again soon. Not far from Broxbourne train station which is an easy journey to London Liverpool Street. Parking down the lane next to the pub or on the street.

Only one member of staff was on duty although she did her best , the issue lies elsewhere. Only 2 parking spaces for the whole hotel/bar. Totally inadequate. Hotel.com have a high rating for this which is very difficult to understand.

Professional Review The accommodation offers a basic yet comfortable stay, ideal for a good night’s rest. However, the shared shower and toilet facilities may not suit everyone’s preferences. I stayed for two weeks intermittently due to work, with the property conveniently located just a 5-minute drive from my workplace. During the first week, parking was manageable, but the second week presented challenges. The pub’s local patrons frequently occupied the two available parking bays, and on occasion, vehicles were parked across both spaces. This issue was compounded by the restrictive parking rules, which allow no alternative parking until after 6 PM, with a requirement to move your car before 9 AM. As for the pub itself, it offers a decent experience. Overall, the accommodation serves its purpose for short stays, but the limited amenities and parking situation reflect the adage: “You get what you pay for.”

The room desperately needs a curtain for privacy. Its on the same level as the beer garden and although the glass is distorted you can still see people getting dressed. Apart from that, clean and roomy.

No blinds on any windows so the sun comes pouring in. Unfortunately you are in the courtyard so all the drinkers are right outside your room. I think we still had people outside at 130/2 so very noisy. Room very hot unable to open windows or smoke and noise just get unbearable. Overall I’d only book again if I was going to be getting in about 4 am

The staff were fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help. I didn’t find it noisy despite it being Kareoke on the Friday night. Parking wasn’t on site but I didn’t have a problem parking just behind the pub in a small car park. A stone’s throw from bars and restaurants. Would definitely return. Thank you for a great stay!

Fantastic find! It’s a pub rather than a hotel, but the room was comfortable with tea and biscuits etc supplied. It was a shared bathroom which wasn’t a problem.

I have stayed at the bell hotel before and knew the standard state of the place.. only booked as it was cheap and closest to the place I was working plus only 1 night.. only found out after staying before for 2 weeks that they do have a microwave, fridge on ground floor if you need to use it.. however the room (4) had a odd smell, no remote for the tv and did not work without a remote.. the window was not double glazed and made the room very cold .. bed is outdated and very uncomfortable compared to the last time I stayed.. wasn’t impressed this time round. No parking as mainly taken up by the locals as it’s the same cars from the last past weeks I have stayed.. you have to wait after 6pm if you want to park on the street with out getting a ticket.. very nosy from the boy races late at night.. hardly got any sleep.. was not happy this time round..

Rubbish pub in a crap town. Friendly staff though and bed was comfy. Shame about the funfair right outside my window but that’s nobody’s fault.

This is a good old fashioned pub, with down to earth hard working folks. Bev and the rest made me feel really welcome. I was lucky enough to be staying during the big music fest in town. Fridays there is karaoke or a DJ. A very local regular crowd. Hope to stay again soon. Not far from Broxbourne train station which is an easy journey to London Liverpool Street. Parking down the lane next to the pub or on the street.

Only one member of staff was on duty although she did her best , the issue lies elsewhere. Only 2 parking spaces for the whole hotel/bar. Totally inadequate. Hotel.com have a high rating for this which is very difficult to understand.

Professional Review The accommodation offers a basic yet comfortable stay, ideal for a good night’s rest. However, the shared shower and toilet facilities may not suit everyone’s preferences. I stayed for two weeks intermittently due to work, with the property conveniently located just a 5-minute drive from my workplace. During the first week, parking was manageable, but the second week presented challenges. The pub’s local patrons frequently occupied the two available parking bays, and on occasion, vehicles were parked across both spaces. This issue was compounded by the restrictive parking rules, which allow no alternative parking until after 6 PM, with a requirement to move your car before 9 AM. As for the pub itself, it offers a decent experience. Overall, the accommodation serves its purpose for short stays, but the limited amenities and parking situation reflect the adage: “You get what you pay for.”

An old build which is a pub and hotel I stayed in the bedroom for 1 person Can’t really complain. Nice town literally 30 sec walk with many nice little small company shops. Railway 20 min walk

This is listed as a Hotel, however, it is a pub with rooms above it. There is no food offered, and the bathrooms are all shared. The towels provided are small, the windows are single glazed, so allow all the noise from the High Street into your room. The pub is open till 1am Fri and Sat, with very loud music playing till midnight. I spoke to the staff about the noise, he was rude, and refused to list to me. Stating it was advertised as a Hotel and Pub, this is not on the listing. I have concerns over Dara Protection as they insist on taking a paper copy of your details, as well as the electronic copy. These pages are kept in a blue plastic wallet, apparently locked in the safe overnight, and retained for 3 months. Despite this venue being close to my new work, I will not be returning. I had booked for 2 nights, I left after one.

It is what it is!! It was the cheapest accommodation in the area, and that's what I wanted. The guy that checked me in was very polite and called me 'Sir', he was definitely wanting to act professionally. The rooms were basic but had a TV,and it was a shared toilet/shower room. The noise from the Pub didn't keep me awake, the people that say it does obviously go to sleep too early. (Anyone who leaves a very bad review has extremely high standards for a budget price)

No blinds on any windows so the sun comes pouring in. Unfortunately you are in the courtyard so all the drinkers are right outside your room. I think we still had people outside at 130/2 so very noisy. Room very hot unable to open windows or smoke and noise just get unbearable. Overall I’d only book again if I was going to be getting in about 4 am
