    Pros +

    • Good location
    • The food & restaurant area was really nice, laid back atmosphere & really helpful staff! The breakfast was filling & reasonable for the price!
    • Friendly, helpful staff, great food with plenty of gluten free options, historic old inn on Berkhamsted High Street, characterful room with oak beams etc. Excellent location for shops, bars, restaurants etc and beautiful Chiltern scenery and walks in the area.

    Cons -

    • I stayed in a room across from the restaurant & as soon as I opened the door I was met with a heavy smell of smoke. I spoke to a member of staff who was very apologetic & had the room cleaned. I went back to the room after & the smell was still there, after spending a restless night I woke with a sore throat from the smoke. I wasn't happy at all. I was offered a reduction in price, I felt it should of been free & a free breakfast! The room really needed some care & attention it felt really unloved!
    • The room I got was not like the pictures, I was in a separate building out back, the bathroom had no window so it was a bit damp smelling.The room faced into a courtyard and there were gaps around the door blind so I didn't feel totally private, and tried to not leave my things in view of the door and window while I was not in the room.I overpaid for the room.
    • Shame there's no parking on-site but can't be helped due to busy high street location etc. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs etc within easy walking distance as well as local walks so not essential to have a car while staying at The King's Arms. There is a station at Berkhamsted too. More fruit and some yogurt would be welcome as part of the breakfast menu.

    9LaidlawPosted on: 3-25-2025

    Great position Friendly Staff Immaculate Ironing facilities Comfortable Highly recommend The Kings Arms Great Wetherspoons next door too, added bonus Enjoyed our break

    Windows in room, bathroom window would benefit a blind Bit more security for back rooms would be good Maybe exit doors to be kept locked But trivial things, my personal ideas, Did feel safe and relaxed Great Stay Thankyou Kings Arms :)

    Liked the venue itself, really pretty outside and I like the interior of the building, so I was looking forward to a relaxed stay there. I know the food from experience (as I am local) is good and I enjoyed my breakfast. Staff were friendly

    The room looked tired. It was VERY noisy with pub guests- people were talking (very loudly as the evening wore on) outside my window from the moment I arrived at 6pm until they were moved inside at 11pm. Then at about 11.30/midday other guests came back to their rooms, and the heavy doors were loudly left to slam quite a few times int eh space of 45 minutes or so. In the morning at about 8am the talking outside the room began again. I wasn't asked how my stay was when I checked out, so I didn't express any of this as it felt perhaps like they knew or didn't care.

    Great location and staff fantastic, Spacious room

    Dated, basic, a bit dindgeyroom, could do with an update

    8DavidPosted on: 1-19-2025

    Location, staff were very polite.

    1 of the 2 wall mounted radiators in my room did not work.room wasn’t warm enough. Smallest, most expensive sausage roll ever.

    8MargotPosted on: 1-18-2025

    Very friendly and welcoming staffBrilliant breakfast

    Pillows not great but rest of the room and shower very good

    5CatePosted on: 1-16-2025

    The room was large and the food in the restaurant was delicious

    The carpet is old, holes in it, stained. The lampshades look moth eaten. Bed was lumpy on one side with deep round crevice in one part. The towels are grey from wash but supposed to be white.

    8KathleenPosted on: 1-9-2025

    room quite largegood choice of breakfast options

    there is a fish smell in the stair well and corridors and whilst i appreciate that the rooms are close to the kitchen, its quite unpleasant and they need something to neutralise this.bathroom whilst large could do with updating as the sink didn't have space for toiletries and you need to be a contortionist to reach the toilet paper

    8BenPosted on: 1-5-2025

    The breakfast range is excellent and cooked by a chef in front of you.

    The parking is an issue. Its quite a long walk to the multi-storey car park and, although possible, overnight parking is a bother.
