Description

The Embankment has become one of the premier spots in the heart of Bedford. The clue to our location is in the name! Bedford’s beautifully-landscaped Embankment has wonderful views out over the River Great Ouse. The Embankment Hotel was built in 1891 and we renovated it to reflect its late-Victorian heyday, but with all the modern comforts and facilities of a great pub. The atmosphere is relaxed and hospitable. There is no stuffy hotel lobby or residents’ lounge, just a team of friendly faces to look after you.

Stayed here in two rooms - a double and a twin - over the British F1 weekend. Hotel far exceeded expectations and would definitely stay again. Very nice area and location on the river. Rooms nice and big and well equipped. Bar and restaurant fantastic and couldn’t hear any noise from the room.

Went for breakfast, party of four. Staff friendly enough but if took approximately 50 minutes (with no explanation or apology) for food to arrive. Pancakes were pancakes, nothing special. Wild mushrooms looked like they had escaped from a tin and only served to make the toast soggy! Added halloumi which, regardless as to the description, did not even see the grill! Full English sausage was nice; bacon nice but overdone; poached eggs acceptable. But as an overall meal very underwhelming! Plenty of other places to be explored.

Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience from start to finish. The food was terrible — bland, overcooked, and definitely not worth the price. The customer service was just as bad: unwelcoming and inattentive. The drinks were awful, and to top it off, they don’t even offer to-go boxes. Definitely wouldn’t recommend or return.

The setting is lovely, but do not waste your money on food. The quality of it has gone down rather dramatically!
