Took a while to get my key from the burrito place. The room was nice enough but i struggled the sleep as there was a cigarette smoke smell coming from the landing. In the morning i had to step over a man sleeping outside my room with cigarette butts and ash all over. If I had seen him the night before this would have scared me for sure. I did message the hotel about the smell that evening, on the number they supplied, but no reply. Won't stay again as they leave the doors to the hallways open.

Struggled to find reception at first but it was in the Mexican cafe next door, staff were attentive, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. First room was lovely, clean, it is a very old quirky building which I love but some may prefer more modern. We went out for the evening and didn’t return until 1am - when we found out our TV wasn’t working properly, I contacted the number on the info and they sent someone straightaway to sort out and then changed our room - we ended up in the suite with four poster bed - beautiful character period room and again staff were friendly and super helpful. Would definitely stay again if needed to and thank you again to the staff for being so accommodating.

First! Its not aa hotel. To access the \"hotel\" one needs to register at a Taco restaurant. The restaurant does not open until 12:00 so there is no hotel. Rooms are scatterd through several buildings scattered through an alley adjacent to the restaurant. I paid up front as I was really in need of a room. I went to one, looked in, and asked for my money back. I did not receive a penney. Its a dump, period. Expedia should be ashamed to recommend such a filthy, decrepit evdevour. It is not a hotel, period. Dump!

Very happy with Villare

Check in was a bit bizarre having to go to the eating outlet on the street but it worked ok. The chap was extremely helpful and carried the bags to the room. The room itself didn't seem to have hanging space but we found a deep cupboard with ironing gear, hairdryer ect and there was also a hanging rail. Bathroom was a bit cramped but everything worked fine. Slept well and car park was excellent.

Room was ok -no problem with that, but not happy at all with the choice for breakfast.
Was told there was no mushrooms, black pudding or tomatoes. Also the breakfast was not hot enough and no fruit juice.
We decided to forego breakfast on the 2nd day and went to Weatherspoons
All in all we were not happy with the service and would request a small refund

Room for improvement.

The staff are very friendly everytime i go her with my partner. I did want a specific room but it was already occupied but the guy upgraded us to a four poster bed which was considerably nice of him and lovely gesture. The only TERRIBLY NEGATIVE thing i have to say is checkout is at 11am and there is a lady that goes around knocking on the doors profusely with a bad attitude between 30 mins before checkout reminding you how many mins youve got untill you have to leave the PREMISES! I can totally understand somebody having a \" bad day \" but in all 100% HONESTY AND TRANSPARENCY , it's happened to us everytime we have stayed there !!! I stayed on new years eve and im still tremendously baffled and shell-shocked even now writing this. My partner left for work early that morning and i was half NAKED and the woke up to the lady in my room stating i have 10 minutes to leave. Wow wow and wowww. I stay at a lot of hotels but i have never been spoken to in that manner. She will definitely DRIVE PAYING CUSTOMERS TO NOT WANT TO COME BACK !

VERY unusual check in. You have to go to the restaurant on high street. We thought it was called bella vita 🤔 but it's actually a taco restaurant. You go in there, then have no idea where to go as no signs inside the shop?

It was only as another couple were stood there looking very confused too, a lady working behind the food counter came over and took us all behind some weird saloon doors into the back room! ...it felt like you were in some sort of escape room as boxes etc everywhere?

She asked me to pay which I then replied I have already...months ago. She said oh yeah...it just made me think I wonder how many people have paid again by accident.

I had to ask her about breakfast to which she replied. There won't be any as we are so booked up
🤔 so I said well we were expecting it as when I paid it was included in the cost.

She told me to text her my bank details and they will refund me some money for the 2 breakfasts... 2 months later ....still no refund for 2 breakfasts

No room at the inn!

From the beginning just trying to sign in on this trip was turning into a nightmare, NO payment had been received from Hotels.Com for our overnight stay so I have to say that wasn’t all Hotel Vallare fault, but they insisted that if were too stay that night I would have to pay again, even though I insisted that I had booked and paid for this via Hotels.com web site, we were on the booking in system (a piece of A4 paper) but no mention of any payment, so another payment of £82.82 was made on my debit card reluctantly, moving forward 48hrs it’s now Hotel Vallare’s to put it right after the mistake has made, sorry for our mistake we need to refund you, asking for the card details that I used to pay the extra payment (bear in mind they already had this) BUT stating the last four numbers of the card that I used totally incorrect from the one actually used, but would not listen to the fact that this was incorrect and insisted that he was, at the same time I was talking to Hotels.com good old AI robot what a complete waste of space that is after 45 minutes it says I’m sorry I can’t help with your enquiry. I will have to send it to the back office team, they didn’t do much better two days later, they told me I’d cancelled the room and that they couldn’t help me.
So my next step was on the advice of my Bank was to do a charge back as I was getting no corporation from either this is what I did, And then all of a sudden, out of the blue hotel, Valerie found the right card and refunded.

Check in took place in a very hot takeaway restaurant and the shopworker had to call for the person checking us in while we waited. This was very uncomfortable.

The first thing I noticed was how flimsy the outside door looked and the 1nd thing was how musty the room smelled.

The room was big and although very dated, not obviously dirty but the windowsills were covered in cobwebs and the bathroom was the source of most of the musty smell, with mold on the shower and ceiling and a toilet with an ill fitting seat.

The room was cheap, and in a good location. Unfortunately that also means that it is noisy until very early in the morning.

Positive points for having a mini fridge that was actually cold and for the room being a decent temperature which was lucky as I slept on top of the sheets.

Unhappy with hotel

We was very disappointed when we entered the main door to the stairs of the building. There was an old dirty smell and entering our room it was very shabby, tired, and unclean. Although the building is Oldie worldly, the furniture was also old. The tired and dirty room let our stay down. The curtains were torn and not even hung properly. The carpet was worn in areas and tired. The bedding although washed, had old blood stains and other stain on the quilt. There were lots of cobwebs on the radiator, and dust on the skirting boards and around the edge of the carpet. The bathroom was small and for short people. Myself and my husband are tall and struggled with the limited space to get into the shower. Once in the shower if you are over 5 foot 4 you are bent over in the shower. You couldn’t flush the toilet for at least 20-30 after previously flushing.
This spoilt our 3 day stay in Hitchin.
Unfortunately once there at the Villare hotel and paid for our room then shown to our room we were not happy.
We did try to booking into the premier inn after arriving at the Villare hotel but it was fully booked. I will definitely not be booking Villare hotel again.

Avoid unless paralytic so you dont notice the bad

We checked in by going into the Mexican fast food restaurant next door and shown to our room.
Very basic with too long curtains that I tripped on and they had holes in the blackout lining.
The “hotel” appears like it’s being left to rot as it looks to be getting a steady income from refugees.
The walls are paper thin and all the car noise could be heard from outside.
My favourite part was that check out was at 11am according to the website. At just past 10am we got a knock in our door to ask when we were planning to check out. I had an alarm set for 10:30 so to have this wake up call was not great.
We got dressed and left to find that no one was around anymore to check us out and as the Mexican restaurant was closed we tried the two mobile numbers multiple times and no one answered.
Awful all round. I’d stay in the premier inn.

Idiosyncratic but good value and excellent locatio

Quite odd in that the hotel doesn’t appear to have a reception. Check-in was in the adjacent burrito restaurant. Not a problem, just odd. Only contact number is a mobile phone which isn’t answered.
No shower curtain which probably explains the rather sad state of the bottom of the bathroom door.
We hadn’t booked breakfast but we didn’t see a restaurant in the hotel anyway.
On the plus side very centrally situated in what surprised us by being a really lovely town with great places to eat and drink and certainly good value for the price paid.

Close by was convient! But my experience of trying to check in wasn't great I had come in the previous day to confirm I could get a early check and was told to call the number on the window of the cafe before as it's a shared check n cafe so it's not an 24hr open reception I had no response on the number so had to go to my event without checking in and attempted to sort checking in over the phone! I eventually had a call back and arranged a way of getting my key card my experience was very stressful!

No formal reception. Instead get key from Burrito cafe. Waited while staff sorted a room for me as Expedia hadn’t let them know of my booking and I was told they were fully booked. Didn’t like waiting in a pungent eating area, with my clothes for the evening in my hand.
Was given a spacious room on second floor, in the eaves of the building. It was basic, but functional, although one of the curtain poles was held on with sellotape.
Hot and cold taps reversed on bath and no hot water. Cracks in tiles on bathroom floor, stepped on sharp fragment. Carpet very worn on stairs.
Breakfast not served until 9 on Saturdays which was too late as I left at 8.

Very pleased with everything except the aircon remote didn't work, which due to the hot weather made the roomn uncomfortable to sleep in. Everything else excellent.

Hotel was ok , service check in was all good , parking was a bonus , The hotel location is great , in the centre of town. Breakfast was good. The thing that let the hotel down was on one of the coldest days of the year the heating in the room didn't work so we were freezing cold.

Great Hotel

Location of the hotel was perfect as just outside from the Town Square. Check in was nice and informative. The room was spacious, very clean well presented.
No issues throughout the stay.
We had breakfast included, and the food was good, it was shame that there was not a big variety in options.
A few guests did complain of noise from across the road on the Saturday night but we did not hear this.

Warm and friendly welcome. The décor is like a stately home which I liked and is a nice change from the usual. The place seems in need of repairs though and in the first room I had, the toilet didn't flush. I was changed to another room and on the second night I came back to find there had been a leak from above onto the bedside table and lamp and all down the wall. Also the curtain ties needed replacing, the lever on the tap was missing as was the sink plug and the glass of the toothbrush holder. The breakfast was nice although there was no decaf and the sausage was basic. It is very well located right next to the historic main square although it was rather loud on the Saturday evening because of the music from a bar on that road. Overall it was fine for the price, good service and breakfast.

Really disappointing

Overall was pretty disappointed considering it cost us over £120 for one night.

The check-in process was non-existent, the restaurant was closed so we were left waiting outside on the street until someone could come and let us in (not sure why it was closed, we arrived at 6pm on a Friday evening).

The room was really tired with lots of things not working (batteries in remote control, curtain pulls etc.) - it feels like it hasn't been updated in about 30 years.

There was a weird smell (slightly sewagey) in the bathroom, and the room was REALLY noisy - there is a bar right across the road that plays really loud music until 2am, and the door to the corridor has absolutely no soundproofing, so you can hear everything that goes on.

Finally, and most importantly, the mattress was really uncomfortable - they've clearly tried to extend its life by adding a mattress topper/futon, but it's really uncomfortable to sleep on.

Sleeping in an old shop?

Room 5 seems to have been a shop previously owing to lots of window, thankfully now frosted. Breakfast was good, coffee especially good. Parking was a real bonus.

Lots of small problems added up a great location

This was a very dated hotel, there was a lot of small things that added up. The check in process was to be handed a card and some vague directions, we then had to go back as \"there is a knack\" to opening the door she then demonstrated, ripped and old furniture out side the door. A shower that the door bangs on the sink when you open it. No hair dryer. We woke in the morning- early becouse the broken blind let in all the light with no idea what time breakfast was, this isnt on the web site, no welcome pack in the room and as stated it was more of been handed a card as check in. So becouse there was only 2 small sachets of milk in the room for tea making and 1 glass we went out to a coffee shop to get a drink, we then couldnt get back in the building becouse the swipe to the out side door didnt work, after 10 minutes of trying it and knocking we went back out for another coffee untill there was life in the place. On our return it appeared breakfast was running so we went in to the restaurant and were told there was no option for a cooked breakfast it was just if you wanted one, so we had one but it was a poor and limited breakfast, 1 sausage 1 egg dont like beans so they were left, no tomatoes ect no choice of fruit juice just orange, tea was stewed in a comunal pot no choice of other teas. There were some good points the bed was comfortable and the location was great but for the cost £175 per night would not return

Disappointed

Room not very clean, not vacuumed at all, see photos. Spa bath didn’t work. Strange kitchen in room, tatty old furnishings. No wardrobes or even a hanger? Two old sofas outside in the carpark. Breakfast was average choice of fry up or bacon sandwich, is what i was offered, tea ,coffee , orange juice, butter and condiments on a table to help yourself, no glass for juice.

All in all not worth 83 pounds
