Breakfast better than expecting. Hotel easy to find.
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.

A delightful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful suite with stunning river view and huge bathroom with a clawfoot bath. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Unexpected gem in uninspiring market town. We were up visiting for a friend’s 50th. Would highly recommend.

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.

We need to plan a return visit - the was so much to do but other commitments meant that we only caught glimpses of what the town had to offer. We did enjoy dining at the Nazar Lounge, an original establishment where we were feted with tasty food from friendly, attentive staff. We have to go back - sooner rather than later.

Bedford is a pleasant town with deep history, but not a lot to show for it. The castle is in ruins. I was serendipitously surprised to find the John Bunyan Museum across the street from my hotel. The writer of Pilgrim's Progress, he is perhaps Bedford's most famous citizen, more even than the medieval Lords and Ladies who resided in the castle. The river walk is beautiful. I watching people sculling on the river. Many people commute from Bedford to London for work.

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.
All the facilities, I have been before and enjoyed my stay there, so this time!
The staff pleasant, attentive and vey helpful as I had a bit of pb with my mobile phone and helped with an another lead from the Hotel.
I lived in Bedford many years ago so it was really great to be in familiar ground again!
I have known the Hotel many many years ago in fact my own mother and a friend stayed there but it wasn't the confort standard it has now with the change of ownership!
Thos Hotel is a little hidden gem for the price, not sure what you would normally expect from a Wetherspoons hotel, but you'll be pleasantly surprised. There's a good feel of quality once you get in the room. Good size, really well appointed, comfortable and clean. It's not exactly in the nicest area of Bedford, but once you've closed the triple glazing, it's nice and quiet too. Excellent value for money.
Large twin room with all modern facilities. Breakfast was good with a range of options. location is very central and in a good area of Bedford. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel decor on the inside and in the rooms is of a good modern standard, unlike the outside appearance, this is one hotel that could do with some cladding.
The hotel is lovely and a great location. There is a bar and restaurant downstairs, and the food looked great although we dined elsewhere with friends. The breakfast was fantastic. The room was spacious, but the family option was a pull out sofa bed so not ideal.
Couldn't fault it !!! Stayed in many hotels in bedford area this was by far the best !!! All staff where fantastic .booked afternoon tea for my family who live in area again couldn't fault it !! Don't think I will stay anywhere else now when I visit my family
My recent stay at holiday inn Bedford was nothing short of exceptional. The staff's impeccable service and genuine hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel truly valued. will definitely be returning.
Fantastic hotel in the heart of Bedford. everything was walking distance, lovely views from the bar and restaurant of the river and town. Staff were super friendly and helpful, rooms very comfy.
The location is wonderful. You can walk into Bedford town, or down to the River Great Ouse. Having a dedicated parking space was a real plus too.
There is a washer/dryer, which was very handy.
Located in a great spot in Bedford. The room design was uniquely cool and creative. The staff were really nice and with great vibe. Breakfast was delightful.
Quirky. Off-beat. Didn't expect it. Will definitely use again (doing some work at Bedford Hospital). Much cheaper than the usual bland Premier Inn etc.
