The room was large and clean and had all the facilities that we needed. The bathroom and shower were both excellent and the residents lounge was large and welcoming. The staff were friendly and happy to help and the initial reception was good. The breakfast was good with the usual cereals, fruit juice etc. Overall I would happily stay there again and have no reservations recommending it to others. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### MARTIN Mar 4, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### would not stay here again Hotel was noisy due to traffic from road located 6 ft from window and from doors banging throughout the night. Accommodation was basic on arrival i noticed that the sink contained someone else's hair "which were Curley!. i mentioned the noise to the hotel and they told me that they were fully booked but the car park was and remained empty?. this was a dated hotel more like a traditionalB&B. personnally i would noyt stay here again especially as i stay in this area frequently and know that much better accomadation can be sourced. ##### MARTIN Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Felt interrogated for bringing partner! Very old fashioned guest-house feel to this hotel. Was asked quite curtly if my partner was staying with me on check in, as apparently I'd only booked a king sized bedroom for one! Not sure hotels.Com had made this clear and did feel very awkward and old fashioned. Price therefore increased an extra £10, perfectly reasonable as included for breakfast, but I haven't been asked for room occupancy details since the 80s, and I'm not sure things have changed at the Firs in all that time. Room very clean and comfortable, but honestly felt like the rest of the place is very dated. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### martin Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 1 night business stay. The property is an older property with creaky floorboards and a few stairs internally between various levels. The room was nicely presented and the bathroom had a large walk in shower, everything was very clean and comfortable. There was tea/coffee making facilities in the room and TV on the wall. The hotel had a good sized private car park at the rear of the property. There was a nice fresh cooked breakfast available together with some cereals etc. On the opposite side of the road is the local football teams home ground so this accommodation would be very useful for any travelling fans. The hotel is close to a small park and nearby open lido and leisure centre. The main supermarket is a 10min walk away and the main town centre is 15min walk to a range of bars, restaurants etc. Overall a very enjoyable stay and would stay here again in the future if I was in the area. ##### martin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cameron May 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Cameron Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Feb 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice overnighter Was comfortable & stafff friendly, breakfast was lovely, good location to get to town. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel Nov 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley Oct 29, 2023 ##### Shirley Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica Oct 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mr James E Sep 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Firs Hotel Hitchin The hotel is dated but the facilities are very good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. ##### Mr James E Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip Aug 22, 2023 ##### Philip Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deirdre Jul 18, 2023 ##### Deirdre Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam Jun 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Adam Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ##
