Everything was great, we loved the zebra painting in the room and it was a lovely bonus to have a full fridge freezer too. We would recommend for anyone needing to visit for a show at Esquires, as it's really close.

Disliked: Room comfort

Need sound proofing

Generally the hotel was clean and tidy and I have no complaints about the service or food quality. That said, I was roomed on the ground floor, but the floorboards of the room above were so thin, when the resident walked about it was like a bass drum being played. Ontop of that, the drainage must fave been in a pipe just behind the wall as it sounded like a waterfall when they used the shower/flushed the toilet

A well run hotel.

Seemed like a well run hotel. The hotel was fine, comfortable enough. It had been decorated on a budget, but that wouldn’t stop me staying here again.

This colorful property is clean, quiet, well-run and a good value. I needed something close to the train station and the city center, it ticked both boxes. The continental breakfast for £5.50 was a excellent for the price. I have no complaints

Comfortable stay with friendly service

Everything clean and comfortable and a good night's sleep. Plentiful free parking. Continental breakfast generous and good value. Staff attentive and welcoming. Decor quite glam and quirky and a pleasant change from the usual anonymous business hotel vibe.

Great Stay with Excellent Service and Location

I really enjoyed my stay at Verve Hotel Bedford. From the moment I arrived, the receptionist was friendly and very clear about what the hotel offered and when – which made everything super easy to settle into. I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a double bed room, which was a really nice touch and much appreciated. The location was great too – just a short distance from the town centre, the rail station, and a big Sainsbury’s, so everything I needed was close by. The room was clean and comfortable, and I felt well looked after during my time there. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!
