Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Harpenden House Hotel is a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian town house hotel with a rich history, set in the country Market Town of Harpenden which is centrally located for access to Luton, St Albans and Hemel Hempstead. At the beginning of the 19th Century it was used as a school for young ladies and subsequently it has been a private house and a convent for the Dominican Sisters. Harpenden House Hotel has been operating as a hotel since 1970 and many of the original period features remain, including a large 18th Century fireplace in the Welcombe lounge. The majority of bedrooms and meeting rooms are adjacent to the main house in the Garden and Hertfordshire Wing. Harpenden House Hotel has undergone a transformation with an investment in 2007/08 of over £2 million. The Hotel now offers the most luxurious rooms, from standard to feature all have high specification and are extremely comfortable. Our Winepress Restaurant, Welcombe Lounge and bar areas have all been transformed, which has enhanced their original charm and character, while offering a more modern setting. ... more less

We booked for 1 night at this hotel which was supposedly 4*. The hotel was tired and I personally would not give it a 4*. Our Room was away from the main building, the carpet in the room was dirty and the decor had see better days. It was very dingy and fortunately we had only booked 1 night. We... More

“Depressing room poor service”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

We choose this hotel for our anniversary and turned up with high expectations. We had an Executive room ( room 30 ) well that's what they call it!! The room is away from main building and is classed as a "garden room" although the garden is just a messy lawn. We found the rooms very depressing due to the fact... More

“Better than a college dorm roon”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

Stayed here for a night while visiting friends in the neighbourhood. Was expecting a traditional, or atmospheric English stately home. The room we had was nothing of the sort. It was in a modern red-brick quadrangle. The furnishing was perfectly functional, but not evocative in any way. Good value for money, but not an "experience".

“A weekend in Harpenden”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

We recently had a very enjoyable stay in the Harpenden House Hotel. The receptionist on arrival was extremely welcoming and made us feel at home. Our room was very nicely appointed however it was very dark with only a view out onto the hedge which was rather disappointing. The bed was very firm and the pillows were hard. It would... More

“Great for a weekend getaway”

Reviewed 28 April 2013 via mobile

Our stay at Harpenden House was quite comfortable. It took us ages to get to our rooms; we had to walk outside, our block was the furthest from the main house. I wouldn't want to be doing that walk to breakfast in the rain! The room was very nicely appointed, with a headboard (an odd thing to comment upon I... More

“Fantastic Location, Super Breakfast”

Reviewed 14 April 2013

The hotel seems to sell itself as a wedding venue or a Luton airport sleepover, but it's much more than that. The position is right on the doorstop of Harpenden centre, a vibrant place, especially at the weekend. The station is less than a 5 min walk away, (We heard no noise from either) London is easily reached, as is... More
