Bedford Swan Hotel and Thermal Spa, hotel in Bedford

With a location overlooking the Great Ouse River in Bedford’s town center. Bedford Rail Station is only 1 mile from the hotel, providing 40-minute links to central London.

Room was more than adequate for a one night stay although I'd got a little fed up with the emails before arrival trying to get me to upgrade. Room was in the new block, nicely decorated and had a view over towards the river. Bed was very comfortable and shower was excellent with good quality toiletries. No shelf in bathroom for own toiletries but glasses were glass not plastic. Tea & coffee making facilities offered a couple of additional flavoured teas. Fridge in room which would be useful for a longer stay. We arrived early so were able to find a parking space and the parking system in the hotel to register the car was easy to use. All of the staff were polite and professional.

Mercure Bedford Centre Hotel, hotel in Bedford

Mercure Bedford Center Hotel is a wonderfully vibrant hotel, set in the busy market town of Bedford. Relax in the Bar before dining in the Restaurant.

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.

    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...

    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.

    A pretty town by the river but the town centre is truly grotty. Walked down the gorgeous d'Parys avenue into convivium of homeless street dwellers noisily drunk and swearing and at least two groups of weed smokers outside St Peters church. The high street was full of very rowdy groups. Then the serene river, along the embankment and up past the museum. Bedford seems to have two sides, tree lined avenues and riverside and a town centre itself that is in the throes of becoming destitute.

    Excellent location for walking into Bedford (appx 5-8 mins)Breakfast was a cook it yourself continental style breakfast, with a Microwave and Toaster facilities. So scrambled eggs and beans on toast type breakfast. The hotel provided the Tea bags,cereals and complimentary cakes and fruit but you have to bring your own milk. I bought my own eggs, ham and beans. Basically buy what you want for breakfast: different!!. Owner called in to chat to make sure everything was ok which was a nice touch.

    The hotel was perfectly situated for a short walk into town, also easy to access the main route out of Bedford to reach our next destination at Twinwood. The room was lovely and light with a big bay window overlooking the garden. The king size bed was very comfortable and the bed linen and pillows were of good quality. Good size very comfortable bath with quality toiletries and beautiful soft white towels. Enjoyed the hot chocolate and biscuits. Delicious breakfast and evening meal.

    Brilliant apartment, very central location, and Bedford river is a peaceful 3-minute walk away. We stayed in Bedford for a week as we were visiting family (we are from kent) I will be returning in the new year and would love to stay here again. Great staff, cozy apartment, and great facilities including an amazing coffee machine, Netflix, and sheltered private parking.

    After a very long day traveling from Skye to Bedford I got a very friendly welcome at the Hotel, The staff were all young (compared to me at least) and enthusiastic, they were having fun whilst looking after their customers well. A lovely ambiance. Special thanks to Noah for a kindly beer that lifted my spirits. I had a brilliant sleep the bed was very comfortable.

    Location handy for the City centre and attractions. Beautiful surroundings and breakfast was a pleasure in the Atrium. We sat near the window looking out over the River. The receptionist was polite and friendly regardless of our checking - in experience. Hotel is lovely and clean and modern in decor.
