All right I'm biased. Hertford is my home town and, living away from it now, I probably have an affection for it that neither a resident nor a stranger would appreciate. That said, for £44.50 I spent a Saturday night in this complex, superb, old building, which I can only describe as "very Hertford". Of course, if you want regularity... More

We spent a long weekend here with the intention of meeting friends in the area and visiting London. The hotel is an old (16th century?) inn and consequently has character but not the uniformity of accommodation or the facilities of a modern hotel. It is in the centre of the town and has parking. Staff were friendly and efficient both... More

Great hotel, ideally placed, good food, great service, very nice, clean rooms with good shower. Staff were very helpful and accommodating, seating a large group of us (16) at short notice. Breakfast was excellent. I will definitely visit again. Thank you.

This Hotel has real history. However it has a lovely 17th Century staircase and no lift. So if you are elderly or disabled ask for ground floor accommodation. The standard accommodation is adequate but not spacious. The food is excellent traditional English fayre. You can see how once it was a busy stage. The front door opens up to an... More

My wife and I have stayed and eaten at the Salisbury Arms before (and left good reviews). Our experience this time was very similar - a nice, clean, if rather small room, an over-large (but brilliant) shower slightly restricting access to the basin and toilet, helpful staff, good breakfast, etc, etc. However, on the day we left, breakfast was served...

I spent a night here and was astonished. I expected basic amenities and food and couldn't believe the standard. It was much better than many more expensive places I have stayed. My room was on the top floor, and my case was heavy, but I received efficient and courteous help for which I was very grateful. The room itself was... More

I stayed here with a chess buddy for one night as we had entered the Hertfordshire Chess Congress being held in the County Council offices a few minutes walk away. The venue was very atmospheric. The girl at reception was friendly and helpful as were all the staff I encountered. Our room, a twin on the first floor was spotlessly... More

I stayed at the Salisbury for 2 nights as I had an interview in Hertford. Can't fault it at all, check in was straight forward and staff were brilliant throughout. Breakfast lovely and a good choice on the menu. The food I ordered in the bar was great too and found the place to have a really nice atmosphere. Room... More
