Stayed here for the weekend and couldn't fault the location, service, staff or room. Everything was perfect and the friendly staff made us feel very welcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone. More

Attended our friend's party, celebrated here on Saturday night. On check-in, we were handed our key but not told where to go, or which room number, until I asked. Room was nice, but headboard and a few areas very dusty. Nice shower and decent toiletries. Function room was good - the serving staff struggled to look after the function room... More

Had to choose a hotel for an overnight business stay and although The Embankment was a little out of the way, it was well worth it. Accommodation, service and food were excellent. It’s a lovely old building and rooms have huge ceilings and a very grand feel about it - contrasting with a homely, pub feel to the bar. I... More

This hotel is very deceiving, it looks like just a lovely pub. The rooms were very clean, modern and comfortable. The bar area was really friendly and welcoming......we had private dining and the food was really good, breakfast very tasty. Staff were very friendly and efficient. The only down side is limited parking. The hotel is located in front of... More

Dont get to stay here very often, but always look forward. Upon arrival you are made very welcome and the whole atmosphere is just great. Rooms are small but have everything you need and the food is very good. Carpark small, so get in early, but not to worry as free parking on the road until 8am I think. More

Frequently stay in Bedford on business and this place is an excellent change from the normal stale business hotels. A great atmosphere is the restaurant and bar with a lovely open fire made for a evening. the food in the restaurant was excellent if not especially cheap and the breakfast was freshly cooked, making a change from the greasy buffets...
