Best stay in Bedford

I have stayed here numerous times in the last couple of years and for a room there is nowhere better and the bed is so comfortable. I’ve been in every room and each one is unique but each is fantastic.

Loved the property and the character of the room. The bathroom was brilliant, walk in shower and a stand alone bath. The view was nice even though it was windy and raining. The bar and eating area's where friendly and inviting.

The room was spacious and very well equipt. Check-in and out was easy and straightforward. The only minor complaint is that being above the bar, I was woken at midnight by the staff putting away the metal tables and chairs.

Disappointing

We'd stayed at Albero Bedrooms before and thought it pretty good. Unfortunately, this time the room was cold (no heating could be turned on), the lighting was completely inadequate, and part of the tap fell off as soon as it was turned on.

Nice room - although dark

Lovely welcome by the guy on the bar, showed me to my room. Room was spacious and bed was comfy. Bathroom was nice and clean. Reading the reviews I’m surprised that no one mentioned it before, but I was in the room which the cheetah wallpaper, there were 7 individual windows all with blinds, so each window had to have the blinds pulled. The hotel is on the market square which is surrounded by lights so at night time, the blinds do not fully cover the window so I felt like I was in a church with all the light coming through. In the morning, trying to get ready there is no main light in the room and the cheetah wallpaper makes the room very dark. I had high hopes for this one but not sure id stay again.
This is the light coming through the windows at night

Stuff lovely but in a room a lot of dust and two massive spiders. In general place is on great location and atmosphere is really nice. Only improvement I can say it needs is that rooms need to be cleaner.

The location sits beside the river Ouse. Beautiful location. Restaurants, shops, mall, all nearby. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Housekeeping was immaculate and checked in with me daily to see if I needed anything. The restaurant was fabulous, outside seating and reasonably priced. I made this home for two weeks while I visited from Seattle. One of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed and I will definitely return here when I come back again. Highly recommended!

Our third stay, a different room again. Lovely rooms with eclectic decor. The bed was huge & comfortable. Bathroom had large shower and all amenities needed. The added bonus is the roll top bath in the room, my partner lived being able to watch TV while soaking! All the staff at Albero are helpful & friendly which is part of the reason we keep coming back!

The room and view facilities were fantastic. The bar and restaurant downstairs were busy, but the accommodation upstairs was quiet. The Polish lad (I think) who works there was really friendly, helpful, and quirky. The only two slight issues were that the parking was a bit of a trip but not a deal breaker (£10 per p/night) and that there was a group staying in the room next door who must have been chain-smoking as it stank out the corridor, etc. Other than that, the stay was top class and I will stay there again when visiting Bedford.

Big thank you to Ollie and the rest of the staff. I was very impressed with the standard of the room. I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels (Hand Picked Hotels) and my room was a par with their rooms at a fraction of the cost. I’ll definitely be returning soon. Thank You
