Been many times before and good location for my work
The Embankment Hotel is in a beautiful location beside the River Ouse. Only a few minutes’ walk from the town centre, this riverside setting overlooks quiet gardens and a Victorian bridge.

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 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.
Originally planned to stay in Milton Keynes as it would have been closer to the sporting event event we planned to see.
Due to lack of availability at Milton Keynes decided to try Bedford. Pleased to say the location of the hotel and the proximity to the Bedford retail park 5 minutes drive up the road worked ok for us and the extra distance required to get to the sporting event was offset by the cost of the hotel so 100% happy and would use the hotel again. Also parking was readily available.
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.
Convenient to city of Bedford. Supermarket at end of road. Easy to walk around town. Took walk to Embankment and river only 5 minutes away. They didnt serve food but were close to other pubs that did and restaurants. Staff were friendly and quick to respond. Rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable.
It was perfectly located for our needs the nightlife, restaurants, landmarks and sights were all on our doorstep or within walking distance. The hotel staff were happy, courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. Made our weekend so perfect, that we will be staying again on our next visit to Bedford.
Couldn't fault it !!! Stayed in many hotels in bedford area this was by far the best !!! All staff where fantastic .booked afternoon tea for my family who live in area again couldn't fault it !! Don't think I will stay anywhere else now when I visit my family
the hotel is in a great location for Bedfordshire and has reasonable facilities. The restaurant is particularly good with a wide and quite original selection of dishes. Breakfast also excellent. the Hotel is well staffed and they are welcoming.
The hotel has a very vintage vibe which is very nice. It's located by the river, at a close proximity to city center.
The room was very cozy, and they are very generous on the tea/coffee selection which is a very important detail in my books😅
We had an excellent stay, thoroughly recommend this place. So quiet and comfortable and the hosts took such good care of us. Very close to the Bedford township but you wouldn't know it as right in the country.
Such as nice smelling bousy and glittered hotel. Very clean fridge inside the room, cosy bed, Hotel staff were polite.
Definetly my place of stay the next time i'm in Bedford.
Appreciated

Lovely hotel, very comfy beds and excellent shower!
Don’t let the exterior put you off! It was obviously a block of flats which they renovated and the interior is so good
The Hotel is located at a part of Bedford where you wake up in the morning, the sound of birds and creatures you hear makes you happy with all infrastructural facilities.
