Stayed here for 2 nights while visiting relatives in Hitchin. Convenient for the town. Has a car park. Room quite small for a double and the loo did not always flush properly (noticed low pressure out of cold tap.) Good cooked breakfast. Would stay again. More

Stayed at Firs for one night this weekend. Very good location - short walk to the town. Easy free parking. This hotel is old school in that it feels and looks like a hotel from the eighties, but has traditionally high standards of cleanliness and great, friendly service. Room was a little small but I loved the comfy bed, flat... More

We stated here for a couple of nights while visiting friends - all we wanted was somewhere comfortable, clean and welcoming. The Firs is all of these and for the rate that is being charged, you really can't complain. The room is a decent enough size, it had everything you need, the guest information is the best I've seen, everything... More

We had 6 rooms at the hotel for my wedding party that was being held near by, rooms clean enough, breakfast looked ok but did not actually have time to try it. My first contact with a lovely receptionist called Irene was wonderful, very helpful, friendly and polite, upon checking in, guests found hotel receptionist (not Irene) rather off putting,... More

I regret that your stay at the Firs Hotel was not to your expectations. The cook you refer to is also the owner and English is not her first language, this could have accounted for the misunderstandings that occurred. However, she should have identified herself as the person in charge and I apologise that this was not made clear to... More

We enjoyed our stay and especially the comfy beds. Even though our room was not far from the road we had no road noise. Breakfast was very good and all the members of staff were attentive - nothing was too much for them. The central position of the hotel and the added bonus of decent, safe, off street parking makes...

I stayed here for one night because of business nearby. My preference is always for the independent/family owned hotels or b&b so whenever possible I avoid the chains. The individual way owners set up their establishments can mean some real gems are discovered The Firs doesn't disappointment. Yes, the decor is a few decades old but it is not shabby... More

We stayed at the Firs Hotel whilst attending the Sonisphere festival at Knebworth. Location was perfect and facilities well beyond our requirements. All the staff could not do enough for us - everyone was so attentive and friendly; the bed was the comfiest I've ever slept in!; and all the food was of excellent standard. If circumstances allow we hope... More
