Very disappointing stay overall. When I arrived there were no staff around and it was extremely difficult to even find the reception. Once I eventually located it, there was still no one available to assist. No one offered to help with my luggage, and I had to struggle carrying my bags up the stairs by myself. I also called reception about 4 times in the evening as I’d forgotten a toothbrush no one answered . No one was around to ask: I had to drag out to the shops after paying £300+ for 1 night stay. Poor really The same thing happened when I checked out — there were no staff around and again no help offered with my luggage. For the price, the level of service was far below what you would expect from a hotel of this supposed standard. It is definitely not reflective of a 4-star experience and felt very overpriced. The breakfast buffet was also very limited and underwhelming, which added to the disappointment. Overall I was very dissatisfied with the stay and unfortunately I wouldn’t return.

We went on Sunday night and were welcomed by the staff with a complimentary upgrade to a park-view room. Rochelle at reception gave us a helpful guide to the area, although we decided to have dinner in the hotel instead. We enjoyed a lovely, tasty steak, a nice red wine, and hot bread rolls in the extension of the bar area next to the fire station. It felt like having dinner in someone’s home. There was a staff party that evening, but as promised, the music stopped at 10:30 pm, and we were able to sleep nicely and quietly through the night. St Albans doesn’t have much to do as it’s quite a small place, but we would come back again just for this hotel.

We went out for dinner with friends last night and it was so good! Everything tasted amazing. chef Shivam cooked the main food and he did a fantastic job – all the dishes were full of flavor, seasoned just right, and perfectly cooked. Seriously, it was the best part of the evening.||Then Amy made the dessert and oh my god, it was delicious! So sweet, super creative, and the perfect way to end the meal. Had such a great time with everyone. Would totally do it again – highly recommend!

Festive afternoon tea for my birthday. Food was great and scones gorgeous, but the atmosphere was lacking. Only a small number of tables booked this afternoon, and we were all placed in the conservatory (quite a few empty tables). We had to ask about festive mustic to make it feel slightly more festive and only sparse decorations in the room and tables not laid for Xmas at all, so again disappointing.

Fantastic afternoon tea in a beautiful setting! We were a group of 6 plus a baby, food and service was impeccable! The unlimited tea and coffee made this great value and we had a lovely afternoon relaxing in the lounge. Thank you to Delona for looking after us so well!

We had an excellent family lunch for 11 of us to celebrate a birthday, preceded by a gathering in the bar for champagne. We enjoyed the mixture of traditional Sunday roasts with creative and delicious starters and deserts and our vegetarian member was very complimentary about the vegetable pithivier. The service from Delona and Michaela was superb throughout - kind, efficient and attentive - and was instrumental in making the occasion a great success. Thank you to them, the chefs and all who contributed.

We all had a fantastic lunch experience at St Michael's Manor Hotel yesterday. The food was not only first class but also beautifully presented and Delona provided a fabulous service. She was very kind, helpful and polite and made the whole lunch experience very memorable. Highly recommended.

Went to this beautiful hotel with 2 girlfriends for Sunday lunch and was pleasantly surprised. A classy, traditional hotel meal with great service. 3 courses for £30 and it was well worth it. Had the roast pork, which was above average, but not amazing. Ordered the chocolate pecan tart for dessert and it was perfection! ORDER IT. You're welcome. Overall a lovely retreat for a girly Sunday lunch accompanied with a wine.

I went with a work colleague and our spouses, and we had a wonderful evening. I highly recommend for a meal when you feel like treating yourself.
