The Hyde @ Dunnings Bar

Lovely place. Wonderful people. Would recommend

Unlike many, I do not sleep well in quiet. I knew there was a pub below and my day was a long (8 hours alone at the Warner Studios) & a tiring one so the noise allowed me to fall asleep immediately. I woke up only once when it had gone quiet, very quiet for being on an artery, and that did not stop me from going right back to sleep. The only wrinkle was on leaving. While we did have a helpful guide in the room, it did not include what to do with our keys. Fortunately for me, I did not have an early flight as I had a bag in left luggage and it was a bit before the staff arrived for the day. As Americans, we tend to be put off by unfamiliar surroundings so the walk raises concern. I reminded myself that England is a safe place on the whole (and people do more walking than we do). My heart goes out to those impacted by the recent incident of violence as I saw many of those joyful rowdies going to the match enroute to Watford Junction.

Never been to Watford (from US) but took a chance. Turned out to be an amazing place. Cool old UK pub and above, modern chic rooms. Ann Maria was the bartender and hotel host and she was outstanding and a hoot. She treated us like family from the moment she met us. Sean the manager treated us the exact same way. Brought my daughter, son and son in law to the pub and they loved it as well. Walking distance to Watford Junction station and a great little coffee spot called Viento just around the corner.

The room was really nice and clean, the staff were fantastic and friendly, the spicy bag bar snack was excellent
