    Penny Farthing Hotel, Birkhamsted.

    rating15 Dec 2025

    Room was on a public footpath between the high street and rear car parks. Heating not working so the room was freezing. They had left a small convector heater which only worked after I had jiggled it around, defective wiring ? Carpet was tired and needs replacing and there was a crusty brown stain on the bed covering. Breakfast was a ten minute walk away in the Kings Arms and was the worst breakfast I have had in a longtime. Expensive for what it was.

    The room was too hot. The bathroom had mould the toilet was unbleached! There was no hot water from the the excuse of a shower the carpet was disgustingly stained. On the plus side I got a full refund!

    rating28 Sept 2025

    We needed a good value room for one night for an event in the town. The Penny Farthing did the job perfectly. Excellent location. Room clean and comfortable. Staff welcoming and friendly.

    I have just read reviews from 2022 and wish I had read them prior to booking. The whole room was dirty especially the carpets and bathroom. The pillows were very poor. Blanket on bed had stains on it. Toilet had been used but not flushed!! Aircon was not working ( but this seems to be an ongoing thing). Main door was very difficult to get in with key pad and the card to the room was also faulty. Had to ask for assistance on both. The receptionist was extremely helpful. Stair carpet was absolutely filthy and a hand rail is needed. A thoroughly disappointing experience

    Needs some money spending.

    rating01 Sept 2025

    Like a lot of hotels these days it needs money spending and some care and attention. The bathroom was tiny and would defy anyone over 5 ft to be able to sit on the toilet. The common areas were quite untidy and in need of some refreshing. It appears that the simple maintenance jobs are being forgotten about?The room was clean enough and bed comfy. However, the air con was not effective. Our room (29) backed onto the railway so we were woken at 5.30 with the early trains. The room could benefit from a bit of soundproofing as you could hear every door opening/closing. Great location in the centre of town with easy access to restaurants/pubs. Private car park but like a lot of the place the entry/exit barrier was out of order. Weird that you have to walk to the nearby Kings Arms for breakfast. Better to stay there?
