We both agreed that we would stay at the Comet again. Everything was great. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was large and had everything we needed. The bed was also queen size and was made every day. The area is quiet so conducive to sleep. The hotel restaurant and pub had first class food and beverages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay! Amazing property and staff. Good facilities and super quiet. The room we stayed in was on the smaller side but fine for what we needed. Only things for us were that the TV in our room was an older tv which also struggled with signal and some channels kept cutting out, would be nice to have the option of smart tv to log into streaming services and the lighting in the room wasnt great - one small window high up and the lights were small/dim/awkward positioning in relation to mirrors for getting ready. Pillows werent great and could do with some extra in the room but we could have asked for more. There is no lift in the main building so something to note if this would be a struggle for your stay. Overall would stay again.

Our whole experience was terrible, there was an unexpected charge of £100 which I had to pay outside of my budget for the trip having travelled all the way from Belfast, we were then given a key that couldn’t open and after fixing the key issue, our room had stains everywhere and the carpet was dirty, I wouldn’t recommend Expedia and the false advertising of Comet Hotel to anyone. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had, the receptionist needs to be trained as she lied and said the £100 was a Deposit for damages while the manager said it was for any expense that might occur and go towards that Bill. YOU SPOILED OUR WEEKEND!

I stayed at this hotel just after it opened and it was pristine, friendly, and great all round. This stay left me amazed that the cleanliness and service were about the best I have seen in a very long time of business travel. The room looked new, and all the saff smiled and chatted. Food was oustanding, and overall great value for money. Do no overlook this gem!

We stayed here for 1 night whilst at a festival in Hatfield. The room was fine, it was clean and had a large bed with some nice toiletries, but the price did not reflect the product. £260 for a 1 night stay in Hatfield was ridiculous- definitely capitalising on the festival being there. My biggest issue for the overpriced stay was the quality of sleep. The hotel seems to almost be attached to student halls and the windows of our room didn’t really keep out any of the sound. I woke up at 3am to someone playing basket ball outside our room and then again at 4am and 5am as students arrived home and it sounded like they were stood outside our room in groups having conversations. For the price I’d of at least liked a good nights sleep.

A very comfortable stay in Hatfield , not a popular destination for most travellers, but was ideal for myself, partly for business collecting a car and partly pleasure, orienteering in the town . However it is conveniently placed if travelling by car literally next to the A1 (not close enough for any noise,) and also multiple bus links, plus opposite the popular Galleria shopping centre. A large modern bedroom, with a very comfortable bed, in the adjoing building . Facing student accommodation to the rear, which may have more noise if term-time as some reviews mention. The room facilities are ok with tea & coffee and adequate bathroom. The onsite restaurant may not be the cheapest but evening meals are very tasteful. (There is a nearby Wetherspoons too!) I would recommend this hotel , especially as not many alternatives in the immediate area, but very comfortable and reasonable price.
