    noise disturbances

    River views from rooms, unique historical architecture, customizable breakfast menu

    Parking situation could use serious improvement!!! Hotel could benefit from better soundproofing to minimize disturbances. The room temperature regulation needs addressing to enhance guest comfort in warmer months!!!

    Do recommend for a weekend excursion

    Spacious room, lovely views, offering great sights of the River Ouse and a comfy bed that ensured a restful night with extra pillows available in the wardrobe.

    Absolutely nothing to criticize.

The cozy atmosphere was enhanced by the friendly staff, who truly made me feel at home. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring a delicious selection that catered to various tastes, ensuring a perfect start to the day. the parking situation could use some improvements, as it felt quite limited during peak times.

    I adored the charming character of Embankment, especially the beautiful river views and cozy décor. The accessibility was quite decent, making it easier for seniors like myself to navigate the warm and inviting spaces.

    More seating in communal areas would be appreciated.

    great location

    Just an optimal selection for a short layover in Bedford with definitely value for money. The staff went out of their way to prepare a late dinner for us when we arrived past the kitchen closing time. If you’re arriving late, don’t hesitate to ask if meals can still be arranged.

    we loved the embankment hotel as soon as we arrived. the staff were so welcoming and the location was perfect with a lovely view of the river. our room was super comfy and had all the nice little touches like high-quality toiletries and a great selection of teas. breakfast was delicious, and we felt really looked after by the friendly staff, especially katie and stefan. can’t wait to visit again!

    the parking situation could be better, like prioritizing guests. also, the rooms felt a bit dated and could use some tlc.

    Comfortable Stay with a Few Hiccups

    We enjoyed a lovely river view from our room, making it a relaxing experience. The breakfast selection impressed us, and the staff was friendly. the bathroom needs a deep clean to remove signs of wear. Consider dining out if you prioritize meal quality.

    cold room
    noisy surroundings
    reception communication issues

    Staying in a large Double or Twin Room with an expansive river view made for a stunning experience, enhanced by the inviting atmosphere cultivated by the warm and friendly staff. The breakfast exceeded expectations, showcasing high-quality food, including delicious crinkle-cut fries. the combination of freezing temperatures in the room and persistent noise from the nearby road disrupted the overall enjoyment, though extra blankets helped mitigate the cold.
