Staff were ALL covering from different hotels. BUT, we’re very welcoming and friendly.
The Embankment Hotel is in a beautiful location beside the River Ouse. Only a few minutes’ walk from the town centre, this riverside setting overlooks quiet gardens and a Victorian bridge.

The room was a good size, shower was fantastic, clean and modern. The bed was comfy, and we slept quite well.
With a location overlooking the Great Ouse River in Bedford’s town centre. Bedford Rail Station is only 1 mile from the hotel, providing 40-minute links to central London.

Bedford has a great museum & art collection at The Higgins & just around the corner is the world famous John Bunyan museum.Sadly the High Street is in decline with the recent proliferation of out of town shopping centres,but the river front Embankment,Russell Park & the site of Bedford Castle make for good walks. The town has some nice cafes & pubs & there is a market in the square on Saturdays-mainly fruit & veg & food.There are other stalls outside Boots selling clothes.On the other side of town is the larger Bedford Park,complete with Victorian bandstand & public swimming pool. Bedford has some lovely architecture & interesting old churches & pubs.
There is a new cinema on the outskirts of town.
For clothes shopping etc Rushden Lakes & Milton Keynes are a short drive away,as are many diverse pretty country village pubs for dinner. There is a large independent book shop in town which is worth a visit.

Bedfords most redeeming features are the River Great Ouse with many walks along the embankment and further, 2 large well managed parks, plenty of history. As a base there are 2 amazing aircraft museums within 30 miles, closest is The shuttlworth collection at Old Warden, a bit further is Duxford Imperial War Museum. There are many other interesting attractions only a short drive away. As well as some really good hotels where quality and service are excellent The Barns for example,

Due to the bitter cold weather it was was not the ideal place although the market was on and I got the wreathes for the church yards and cemetery so it saved me another trip to Bedford , there was a winter wonderland in Bedford park that is the first time I have ever known anything like that to be in the park.

The large parks were very well kept and made for a pleasant walk. There is quite a contrast between some areas, the waterfront area is good but some of the suburb areas are quite run down and you may wish to avoid after dark. Plenty of places to eat out.

A pretty town by the river but the town centre is truly grotty. Walked down the gorgeous d'Parys avenue into convivium of homeless street dwellers noisily drunk and swearing and at least two groups of weed smokers outside St Peters church. The high street was full of very rowdy groups. Then the serene river, along the embankment and up past the museum.
Bedford seems to have two sides, tree lined avenues and riverside and a town centre itself that is in the throes of becoming destitute.

I've never been to Bedford before but was pleasantly surprised. The walk along the river is lovely. There are there great museums, all free of charge. Lots of good restaurants, people were really friendly. We'll definitely be back.
Excellent location for walking into Bedford (appx 5-8 mins)Breakfast was a cook it yourself continental style breakfast, with a Microwave and Toaster facilities. So scrambled eggs and beans on toast type breakfast. The hotel provided the Tea bags,cereals and complimentary cakes and fruit but you have to bring your own milk. I bought my own eggs, ham and beans. Basically buy what you want for breakfast: different!!. Owner called in to chat to make sure everything was ok which was a nice touch.
The hotel was really nice, we liked the quirky decoration such as the ceiling in the restaurant and the wall paper in our room. The staff were super helpful and the price was good. Very close to the centre of Bedford, 10 minute stroll and you are at the river.
A big plus for us was that we were staying the night during the Bedford River Festival and in town was very noisy at night. As soon as you get a little into d'Parys Road all you could hear was the wind in the trees.
We were really impressed with our stay at the embankment hotel. We had our two young children with us and the room was set up perfectly. Very clean and well presented room. We had a lovely breakfast as well and the staff were really accommodating. We have friends who live in Bedford and would certainly stay here again. Lovely hotel and location and great value for money!
Brilliant apartment, very central location, and Bedford river is a peaceful 3-minute walk away. We stayed in Bedford for a week as we were visiting family (we are from kent) I will be returning in the new year and would love to stay here again. Great staff, cozy apartment, and great facilities including an amazing coffee machine, Netflix, and sheltered private parking.
It's been a luxurious experience, the room and all the facilities I've been using, have been above my expectation. Cleanless is a must for me whenever I go and I'm happy i find everithing professionally clean. Staff have been helpful and professional as well.
I will defenitelly recommend this hotel to friends and family that want to come to visit Bedford as well :)
Convenient to city of Bedford. Supermarket at end of road. Easy to walk around town. Took walk to Embankment and river only 5 minutes away. They didnt serve food but were close to other pubs that did and restaurants. Staff were friendly and quick to respond. Rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable.
This is within easy walking distance if on contract to the Bedford South Wing Hospital.
The geese, swan and sea gulls in the morning and evening was a sight to delight the heart!
Quite serene surroundings with opulent rooms to make one feel pampered.
The hotel has a very vintage vibe which is very nice. It's located by the river, at a close proximity to city center.
The room was very cozy, and they are very generous on the tea/coffee selection which is a very important detail in my books😅
The hotel was in the perfect location in the centre of Bedford Town. Very clean and tidy. The attention by all the staff was exceptional from daily checks of the complimentary tea,coffee , and water bedding could not be faulted.
I liked the location, that’s the only thing this hotel has going for them is their fantastic location. You can walk to all the places you need to go to and even hop on a bus or taxi is very easy.
We regularly stay here when we visit Bedford, as it is good value, clean, comfortable accommodation. Breakfast included is an incentive . Staff are consistently friendly and helpful.
Everything: attractive Victorian boutique hotel, charming room, excellent choice and quality free breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stay here again.
Lovely hotel, very comfy beds and excellent shower!
Don’t let the exterior put you off! It was obviously a block of flats which they renovated and the interior is so good
The Hotel is located at a part of Bedford where you wake up in the morning, the sound of birds and creatures you hear makes you happy with all infrastructural facilities.
