The room I stayed in formed part of a converted 17th Century coaching inn. The room itself was huge with a king-sized double bed with memory foam mattress. Despite the main room having the original fireplace and roof timbers intact, the en suite bathroom was surprisingly very modern, as was the little kitchen - a bonus I wasn’t expecting. It also had a very large flat screen TV, super fast Wi-Fi and (a real blessing during my stay) air con. The entire place was spotless throughout - literally gleaming. To say I was happy is a massive understatement. But any business is only ever as good as the people who work there and, in that respect, the Villare truly excels. My undying thanks go to the lovely Moz for all her help in getting me through a very traumatic checking in day and my subsequent extended stay, the lovely Silvia for rescuing me at 6.30 in the morning when I locked myself out of my room, and the lovely Carol for her patience in helping me through my prolonged stay. The three ladies worked so hard and still nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble for them. It was such a pleasure to see them everyday and I am eternally grateful for all the good humour and kindness they showed to me. They made my stay at Villare a truly 10/10 experience,

The bedroom was delightful! It was olde worlde/antique in style and I loved it. It was also nice and clean and there were plenty of tea/coffee sachets as well as toiletries.

Only 3 little things: Would have been nice to have the Wi-Fi password in the room as forgot to ask when I got my door card, then couldn't be bothered to go down later to ask! I like to have the window open at night but had to find something to hold it up as it wouldn't stay by itself. Used the sink and the plug wouldn't pop back up - wasn't a problem as I'd finished using the sink but wouldn't have been very nice for the cleaners to have to put their hands in used water.

Excellent service - I arrived around midnight, by which time Plan Burrito had closed and so I wasn't sure where to get the key. Fortunately an employee had waited up especially as they were expecting me. Despite being directly on the street, my room was fine and there was almost no noise (though in fairness this may vary as Hitchin can be busy after the pubs close).

There was an email to say that I should check in and collect the key from the restaurant, Plan Burrito, which turned out to be a takeaway fastfood joint. Obviously no problem with that. The only confusing thing was a lack of clarity as to closing and opening times of Plan Burrito. The owner might want to consider including this information.

The 4 poster bed wasn’t amazing and an excellent night sleep. The staff were all fantastic and very, very helpful. I will definitely visit again.

Was a little tricky to locate as you had to drive under an arch down a one way street, not that, that is the problem, there were some roadworks which made it tricky. Well located and ample parking space.

Good location in centre of Hitchen with parking on site. Room was clean, large with comfortable bed and good bed linen and pillows. Room a little old fashioned but had everything that you needed and good value.

Entry to hotel through a burrito cafe was a little confusing and no sign of any staff in the morning. No breakfast option that I could determine.

The room was very clean, with a huge bath tub, unfortunately it was next door to a very noisy family that kept.me awake at night. Sadly the view from the window was of the dustbin area. Overall not a bad place and certainly very good value for money 👍

Real coffee for breakfast would be a huge improvement.

Great central location perfect for the festival we were attending. Easy check in from the restaurant/takeaway next door. Room was very clean stayed on first floor good pressure on shower.

Decor not to everyone’s taste as old fashioned. Needed a new toilet seat as the one on there was two small although clean. Was unsure how to check out as couldn’t see any instructions.

Great town centre location lovey room large bathroom very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Plus good value for money. Would recommend to friends and family if needed a place to stay.

Low beams in room and had to duck to enter the bathroom plus room was very dark. Also car park is very tight unless you have a very small car.

I love staying at The Villare Hitchin Town Center, I use it regularly when I drive down to visit my youngest son and his girlfriend who live in Hitchin, very convenient, great location in the center of town, I love the history of the hotel 🏨

Nothing

Location good. Staff extremely helpful. Four-poster bed very impressive, room had lots of space. Massive TV. A great stay.

Tiny gripes really: Though appreciate restricted by age of building, etc, by having to step up into the en suite through a tiny door meant many painful banged heads (no amount of signage will help in the wee hours or if someone's had a few) Found a fair amount of someone else's clipped hair around the basin in the en suite. No screen or curtain around bath when taking shower meant got water all over floor even though tried to minimise.
