Best Hotels near St Frances Cabrini Italia Church, Bedford

Located on the Cranfield University campus, this is an excellent, well planned, cleaned facility. I was impressed by the attention to detail. Pleasant room, with everything you could want: TV, Tea & Coffee facilities; Good WiFi, Comfortable bed, Hot & powerful shower, Luggage rack, Hairdryer, Iron & ironing boad, even a box of tissues.

I really enjoyed staying here with my work, I have stayed before but since the renovations the hotel really is beautiful now. I used the restaurant too and the food was great, the setting peaceful and the staff very good. I was served by someone called Candice (I think that was her name who was excellent). I have attached some photos of the food. Also if you’re away with work and also a cyclist, try and take your bike too as there are some lovely early morning river paths to cycle which start just outside the hotel. Perfect!

We checked in here for 1 night using Booking.com ...it cost us £55 a night for 2 people ( no breakfast as we'd read previous reviews which weren't very complimentary) we'd added to booking for an accessible room as husband disabled. We arrived at Hotel about 6pm. Plenty of parking and disabled spaces. Hotel building accessible to wheelchair users and disabled toilet in reception. No lifts. When we checked in room was on 1st floor receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful and found us a room on the ground floor (room 43). The room was furthest away from reception which wouldn't be a problem for an able-bodied person but navigating suitcases and additional items needed for a person with disabilities (on a mobility scooter) through several doors was a bit awkward, but we were grateful for the ground floor room. The room was small maybe better suited for 1 person, but adequate for 1 night. Plenty of storage, TV, tea/coffee provided, no fridge, no AC but fan provided, windows open slightly, extra pillows/blanket, hairdryer, body/hair wash, bar of soap, towels provided. The bed was small (double) but a huge desk in the room which if was replaced by something smaller a larger queen/king sized bed could be fitted in. En-suite Shower with shower curtain, plenty of hot water, fixed head shower, adequate for me but totally inadequate for my husband who couldn't shower, no grab rails or shower seat. This hotel is lovely and the size of the rooms is reflected in the price. The whole hotel is absolutely spotless from reception to rooms (bed linen and towels good quality) carpets all look new, paintwork all fresh its a credit to the housekeepers. There is a large well stocked bar, with pool table, and also a cafe/restaurant which in my opinion was more aimed at catering for a student population, with a limited daily menu, (we didnt use it) again very clean. The staff we met on reception were extremely friendly, helpful and informative. Hotel is on a university campus dont follow sat nav postcode just follow the road straight round. Mitchell Hall on the left, not very well sign posted. Its in beautiful grounds and a 2 minute drive to the co-op and petrol station. We would return (but the hotel should offer accessible rooms, the room we had wasnt suitable for a wheelchair user ( we had to leave it outside the room door in the corridor) and there should be disabled bathroom facilities)

I needed somewhere reasonably priced as I was in Bedford for an early appointment. I found it on a 3rd party booking platform and booked as it has good reviews, I didn't even think to check tripadvisor, until the day before check in and by then it was too late to cancel after reading all the poor reviews on here. Anyway, we arrived and the parking is plentiful. A few disabled bays. The lobby is very nice, and clean. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. We requested something not too far away (from the reviews on here), and they obliged. We didn't have breakfast here as it is rather expensive...£15 per person. They do buffet dinner too and that's not cheap either...about £25 or 30 per person. We decided to get takeaway delivery instead. The room is a bit small for two people, but fine for one. It was OK though for one night. I'd stay here again should I come to Bedford again.

I hate to say that before our stay, I thought Holiday Inn as being fairly average and nothing to rave about, and having not stayed at this particular hotel for 10+ years, and on that occasion it was with a work Xmas party, we booked last minute just for convenience whilst visiting family over Xmas. How wrong I was!! We got absolutely 5 star service in all respects. The receptionists could not have been more friendly and helpful, likewise the gentleman who served us breakfast both mornings of our stay. I wish I had got all of their names as they were just wonderful. The hotel is clean, light & airy, quiet (especially so at the moment whilst London Road is shut for the next few weeks - bonus!!), great parking and very well located for onward travel. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, probably a new fave for us in MK and we stay quite frequently. Thank you to all your wonderful staff!!

Thank you so much for our Sunrise hideaway spa weekend,it was awesome from start to finish. I would just like to say how amazing the weekend break was, we really appreciated it and needed it,to destress. Being carer's we tend to ignore our own needs and concentrate on our loved ones. My daughter-in-law and I arrived on Sunday afternoon. Firstly, I must say, the decor of the Hotel looked calming & luxurious. The bedroom was really Luxurious & Spacious, with a mini bar super king comfortable bed and a little hand written card welcoming us with some chocolate's,a lovely personal touch. The Firepit restaurant felt very calming and relaxing with a great low music in the background to add to the atmosphere. The view out the large glass windows were stunning, the lake had a water fountain lite up, which was beautiful to watch. We really enjoyed our lovely dinner & Sweet. They even have a robot that serve's you dinner. We both had a lovely night sleep in the very large comfy deluxe superking bed. There was a great selection for Breakfast, which set us up for the day. We then went into the spa. The changing rooms where Clean & Fresh. All the facilities were great and we tried them all out. Steam room, sauna,salt room,chill out ice room.There are heated water beds and egg chairs inside the Quiet Area, which are so comfortable next to a fire. The pool was just perfect with bubbled jacuzzi and taps that massaged your back when you stood under them. A new bar at the side of the pool with waitress service. Loungers all around with heaters and blankets for if it's a little chilly. The temperature of the pool was hot and steaming which was lovley as it is October and a little chilly. I booked a back massage as i felt tight in my shoulders and in some pain. Clare the masseuse,gave me a very firm massage and was very good, the pressure was just right and she gave me a lot of tips on how to strengthen my back and relax my muscles, she was brilliant. The staff at the hotel were very attentive & Helpful. I will be returning, hopfully when Father Christmas brings me another spa package.
