Ideal location - nice to find a hotel with garden and grounds within the concrete jungle of outer London! - and plenty of parking. We were happy with our room, which was spacious, clean and tidy. Good breakfast with plenty of choice and nice coffee! The staff were very nice.
It was very nice to be able to wander around the garden/grounds, albeit we felt it was lacking a little in maintenance.
We'd be happy to use this hotel again as, at a weekend, and with our Expedia loyalty discount, the price stacked up pretty well against your Premier Inns or Travelodges, and a much nicer environment.

The hotel is in a great location for me as I used to live in the area and it’s perfect for catching up with friends. It is well away from the road so lovely and quiet and about 30 minute walk to a railway station; fine for me as I had transport. There is plenty of parking though if an event is on, car park space can be limited but they allow parking on grass. The room I stayed in needed updating and because of that needed to be scrupulously clean; unfortunately cobwebs can suggest otherwise. Staff, I spoke to, were polite, professional and seemed eager to help though unfortunately I had to ask three times for an hairdryer. Despite any negative comments, I would stay there again.

We stayed at The Manor as a part of a birthday celebration. Jo, who was on reception at check-in, was amazing! Thank you for your discreetness and help. You made the surprise all the more better. The Deluxe Room - The Notting Hill - was lovely, very comfortable, spacious and clean. The location of the hotel was great, off the main road and close to the high street. The fitness suite is available to use for all - simple equipment to be used. The breakfast was lovely. Buffet and made to order is available. Wide range of breakfast, continental and English. Lovely decor across the whole hotel and it was really intriguing to find out about the famous people who stayed here and the scenes filmed at the hotel too! Will happily stay here again!

We stayed here in 2018, and got the opportunity again, so took it. Have to say we were rather disappointed.
Check in was great, no issues. We requested a balcony or terrace room, which we were given (in the extension).
On the way there, the bottom fire escape was swarmed with Blue Bottle flies.
On the way to our room, in the previous corridor, there was a strong smell of weed.
The room was nice, but some of the curtain off the rings, and the bathroom was not dirty but very dated. Half painted doors (one side but not the other). Enamel scuffed off the bath etc.
All in all, an ok stay, in a hotel that used to be lovely, but is a bit dated now, hence more like contractors accomodation.

Just checked out after one night, my husband comes to Elstree once a month having used the Manor for almost 5-6 years. I have been on occasions, but sadly this time saw a drastic change in it.

Our standard double room was just that. Standard!
The bed was very small, pillows uncomfortable and room hot. The bathroom, although having a fancy Japanese style toilet, really, really needs gutting to say the least.
The grout is mucky, as is behind the sink, the shower sits over a bath with an old fashioned bath protector that is a grimey colour. Paintwork has come off the bottom of the bath panel all the way along, there's no bin, the cups are the cheapest form of squishy plastic (no glass cups), no flannels or box of tissues, and the whole room really does need renovating.
There are no waters in the room either.
The long annexe from room to restaurant/reception is freezing with no radiators on at all.

The dining area is now in need decoratin. If you sit by some windows you are very cold although the view is lovely - whilst sitting by a radiator you roast as they're on full, there doesn't seem to be a happy medium in temperature settings. Christmas lights are up - inside the restaurant area... but rather than a subdued setting, they're on a multi flashy setting which isn't very conducive to evening dining.

Our evening meal was very nice, but served on cold plates, breakfast good.
Sadly, came away with that, not sure if we'll go back feeling.

We stayed from 31 October to 2 November, and unfortunately the experience fell far below expectations.

We had been looking forward to the trip for a special occasion and were travelling with our baby, but the conditions in the room made it very difficult to enjoy the stay or get proper rest.

On arrival, the room appeared noticeably outdated and did not resemble the images shown online. It was also excessively warm, around 26°C according to our own thermometer, and adjusting the thermostat had no effect. The temperature remained high throughout the night, which was extremely uncomfortable, especially with a young child.

There was also a strong smell of smoke in the room, seemingly coming from the hallway. This created an unpleasant environment and made the room feel unsuitable for a family stay.

As a result of these issues, we left after the first night instead of completing our planned two-night stay.

After leaving, we reviewed the photos online and realised how different they were from the room we were given. We also noticed other guests expressing similar dissatisfaction during check-out.

When we raised our concerns with the management team, the response was dismissive, which added to our disappointment.

Overall, we would advise future guests to take care when booking, as the online presentation did not reflect the reality of our experience.

I booked 2 room, for myself and a colleague from Pakistan and I called a week before the stay to check if there was any Halal food available at the restaurant. I was informed that \"ALL the Chicken on the menu was Halal\", so reserved a table in the restaurant. On ordering the food, the waitress checked with the kitchen and we were informed that the Chicken was NOT in fact Halal.... This was most concerning.....
Overall, the room was in need of a make-over as it is looking tired and worn. The room temperature was very warm, so had to sleep with the window open, but this was noisy.

We were really disappointed. We booked a suite for two nights, a treat as we were going to a Strictly recording. The room had curtains hanging off the poles, dead wasps on the window ledge, dirty windows, cobwebs, a lamp that didn’t work, no shower gel/shampoo (empty bottles) and no bathrobes (as described on the website). We mentioned these after the first night, apparently they can’t reach the curtain pole and don’t have bathrobes. We did get shower gel. The room was tired with a very old coffee machine, very little coffee provided, sofas with broken legs and an uncomfortable mattress. The hotel did not ask for feedback directly. We would not recommend.

Beautiful hotel but no restaurant

Lovely Hotel - beautiful decore and views. We were disappointed to hear that the restaurant had a limited menu in the evening. This didn’t bother us initially - but when we arrived for dinner - the only choice was beef, chicken or veggie Burger. This isn’t ‘limited’ we seriously would have thought scampi or ham egg and chips or some sort of curry could have been offered as an alternative.
Jo did try her best to convince us that there would be a few things to choose from. She kindly offered to order us a pie from outside, but we really didn’t expect the menu to have no choice at all! We decided to go to a local pub which was recommended- not a pleaaant experience at all, the food was terrible! It did spoil our stay, Jo gave us a free breakfast but my husband was not well in the morning so we didn’t make it on time. it was a bit of a disaster for us to celebrate my retirement.
