“This 4-star property, nestled in Hitchin's heart, immediately impressed me with its sixteenth-century building, striking the balance between history and comfort. La Bella Vita, the hotel's fine-dining restaurant, adds a touch of sophistication, while spacious, well-equipped rooms promise a relaxing stay. It's a solid choice, especially given the free parking.”

the room was a converted part of a 17th-century coaching inn (so cool!). it was huge with a king-sized double bed and a memory foam mattress. the ensuite bathroom was surprisingly very modern and very clean, as was the small kitchen.

no negative aspects to report, i enjoyed my stay!
