The hotel was really nice and in a good location. Staff were really friendly, and bedrooms good. Breakfast was also really good.

Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was very cold and when I asked for an extra blanket at night reception, the staff member not only bought a duvet but also a heater and sorted the TV when it went off. Very happy with help. We missed breakfast (our fault entirely, slept thru alarm). Staff helped us get a coffee and fruit, thankfully. Great staff all round.
07-01-25 I have just received a Penalty charge demanding £100 / £60 if paid within.28 days. I booked in advance and registered on the screen when we arrived too. Please can you conform this with Parkmaven.

We stayed here a year ago and came back as we were satisfied with our prior stay and knew what to expect. The hotel didn't disappoint. The staff was attentive and made us feel welcome, the room had everything we needed/expected. Easy access to the hotel from the motorway and perfect location for us going to Box End park (~8min drive). We were checking out early 5am on Sunday and had takeaway breakfast, which was a really good value (good variety) and in fact it was a life saviour later in the day :)
Bit of musty smell in the room - but after some time you get used to it. If we remember correctly, our room this year smelt worse than last year

Easy access to the hotel off the A road. Loads of parking close to entrance. Check in was quick and efficient. The lady on check in was fantastic. As were the staff at breakfast. The room was surprisingly spacious. Comfortable bed and sofa. Good tv in the room. Iron and board in the room. Decent shower and bathroom. Good amenities provided and spacious. The complementary breakfast was excellent. Choice of cereals, fruit & yoghurt, pastries, toast, sausages, bacon, beans and egg. Hot and cold drinks available. Without a doubt the best budget hotel we’ve stayed in and at £50 incredible value.
No sockets by one of then bedsides. USB port the other. The jams and marmite were in jars at breakfast with a spoon. Would prefer individual pots or packets. Nitpicking with both.

My recent stay at Holiday Inn Bedford exceeded all expectations, thanks to its exceptional staff. From the warm welcome at check-in to the helpful recommendations from the front desk, the team went above and beyond. The cleanliness maintained by the housekeeping staff was impeccable, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant and bar staff also impressed with their attentive service and diverse menu. The hotel's commitment to guest satisfaction through its dedicated and friendly staff sets it apart. Whether for business or leisure, I highly recommend Holiday Inn Bedford for a delightful and memorable stay. I look forward to returning.

Staff were friendly but professional, very helpful and worked hard to give the best stay possible
Breakfast was limited, the food was good but only egg choice was scrambled which I don't eat, the only moisture for a cooked breakfast was that or baked beans and I can't eat those due to a medical problem so I was left with bacon and sausage, both were lovely but it felt incomplete and dry. Cooked tomatoes, mushrooms or poached eggs would have made for a much nicer start to the day . The evening menu was very limited but the curry was delicious.

The hotel was cheap, and from previous stays we know you get a decent sized room. Breakfast being included is always a bonus too! Good location for visiting family in the area.
The girl who checked us in at reception was so miserable! She had a face like thunder, didn't want to engage in any conversation, and basically looked like she was being held there at gunpoint. Terrible first impression for the hotel. Breakfast was a long affair, with items not being available after they'd ran out - took a long time to get a full breakfast together, and by then most of it was cold!

Clean, not only inside but also the entrance and the parking area. Attentive, personable staff, free breakfast, secure parking
Nothing to report, it's understood that this is not a luxury boutique hotel, it is a convenient, practical stop for travellers and it fulfils this mission very well. Although it was not an issue this time, we suggest that smokers be prevented/discouraged from congregating right at the door, where one must pass through and breathe their smoke in order to get inside; the concept of "smoke-free access and stay" should be implemented.

The room was large and the bathroom / toilet was designed well and the bed was comfortable to sleep in. There was not too much noise at night. The breakfast buffet was diverse and tasted good. The hotel was conveniently located close to a petrol station.
There was an app to register your car and my phone wasn't up for doing that. It should be enough just to give your car registration to reception and that's that. However, the reception staff did step up to deal with this and so things should work out OK.

Staff we great and really friendly and welcoming. As a solo female traveller I felt comfortable eating in the bar
It was difficult to see from the A road/roundabout and the Sat Nav didn’t take me to the exact location. As a female solo traveller driving at night I was fortunate to find it and only tried the services as stayed at the HI Express Stansted and it is on a similar site. More signage would be helpful
