Saturday 20/07/2024. Reserved Table of four for lunch. No one to greet us. Eventually told we could sit where we wanted. There appeared to be no service outside. Went in to get menus. Asked how it worked told come back in to order at the bar. Did so. Six staff-3 talking together at the bar 1 on a PC oblivious to everything and one kitchen staff talking to a waitress. Ordered drinks asked to pay. Said we were eating so could I open a tab. One person then asked the guy serving me if she could serve alcohol being under 18. Had to go back in to order food. Still no staff ventured outside to the about ten or twelve people out there. Food was fine except the kitchen person brought out the sausage roll but didn’t know what it was. The waitress insisted on giving all the meals to me instead of asking whose they were. Partner went into pay afterwards but they claimed to know nothing of the tab so drinks and food ended up being paid for separately. All in all an utter shambles. Was going to try and book a large family party but that wont happen now. I dont blame the staff at all. They clearly had received no training and had no supervision all the time we were there. You need to sort this out. I haven’t written a review in years but other diners need warning. Paul Flowers

I think they need to get someone to check rooms after the cleaners have finished. We had cobwebs behind the bed in the bathroom and window. All radiators in the room dusty and dirty plus dirty skirting boards. The bathroom was also not cleaned very well. The bed and pillows where uncomfortable. Breakfast Took a good 15 minutes before anyone came to see us and give us a menu . Coffee was just luke warm tea was OK but one coffee spoon for us to share as you they had run out of tea spoons.We ordered orange juice which never arrived we had to ask for it again. When breakfast arrived waitress never asked if we wanted any sauces we had to ask. Also she never came back to ask if everything was OK or if we would like anything else. There were uncleared tables left the whole time we were having our breakfast, chief moaning that every one comes in at 10am but it wasn't that busy 5/7 tables at the most. Outside area very unloved overgrown plants couldn't get through the steps to the restaurant with out them hitting you in the face. Dead plants in pots, it's a shame as if cared for would be a lovely area. I would also like to point out,no extractor fan in the toilet so smells enter into the bedroom area. You then have to leave the toilet area touching the door to go into the bedroom to wash your hands. The bathroom door makes a awful noise when you open and close it. I found it quite frightening sounded like the glass was going to break. Very disappointing stay after reading all your lovely reviews.

My partner booked one of the rooms here for our 1st anniversary. This was our second stay, with the first having been our first date. With how amazing our first stay was our expectations were extremely high and yet again the place delivered a phenomenal experience. I arrived slightly early for check in, hoping to get in early and set up some bits, and I was met with 3 of the best staff of any business I think I've ever met. They were all so friendly and welcoming. Upon hearing of our anniversary they proceeded to give me an upgrade on our room, a welcome drink and even wrote us a card to wish us anniversary. 'Exemplary customer service' would be an understatement. Unfortunately the only name I manged to catch was that of Alexandra, who was an absolute ray of sunshine, however the lady and gentleman I also met along with her also deserve a mention! We'll definitely be back.

Nice hotel in a beautiful neighborhood. As previous reviewers had mentioned, the rooms are a little quirky in that the showers are open to the rest of the room. Still, they are comfy rooms and the staff is very welcoming and attentive. The food in the restaurant is very good. The hotel itself is interesting and comfortable but it is the hotel team that made our stay wonderful. Everyone we encountered had a smile on their face and made us feel right at home.

We did not stay at the Hotel but decided to have an early dinner there with our two Granchildren 6 and 2 years. Our son in law and eldest son had poped in on Tuesday morning just for a drink. They had received such a warm welcome from a member of staff called Lisa we decided to give it a try. We were not dissapointed. We were fortunate to have Lisa as our waitress and she could not have been more helpful and kind to us and the children. One of our grandsons is diabetic, Lisa and the chef went to such lengths to help us work out the carbs in his meal. Eating with children can be quite stressful but thanks to the great attention we were given it was a very enjoyable meal. We all enjoyed our food very much and our eldest grandson said his pasta was the best he had ever had. We will definetly be returning after today's experience.

D'Parys is an exceptionally nice hotel and has the best staff I ever encountered. The room I had (Taragon) was lovely. The restaurant serves good food. Some days it was bristling with people and chatter and other days it was more quiet. Breakfast is from a menu, and lovely. I stayed for 4 nights. If I ever come back to Bedford, this is where I'll stay.

We only stayed for one night thank goodness. Stayed in room 11 on the top floor. Free standing taps loose, toilet seat hanging off, poor lighting above sink to try and get ready to go out. We had staff talking outside and walking up and down the loose floorboards on the landing at 2am. Was a horrible experience with hardly any sleep. Even when we checked out the lady just said thanks had no interest if we had a good stay or not. Overall experience was terrible and I would avoid staying at this hotel

Had a full English breakfast which was absolutely amazing! Also had Sunday lunch yesterday with family: service again was exceptional. Starters (note that some are ‘bar snacks): pork belly bites- were amazing, perfectly cooked, crispy and soft. Calamari- very small portion but tasty, halloumi fries- tasty but a little small, kofta- very very small but tasty. Roast 3 meats was fantastic and huge portion, cooked perfectly. Fish and chips- best I’ve had in a long while. Cauli & cheesy leak side was very tasty and a good size.

Decided to meet up with the family (6) for breakfast, the staff were very pleasant but after a long wait for our coffee to be served which was only warm (we did return some of them & they were remade), our breakfast was served, unfortunately the bacon must have been grilled on a grill that had the remnants of fish hence it had a strange fish taste. It was a shame that we were not asked during our meal is everything all right otherwise I think 30 % of the food would have been retuned. I have never been to a restaurant that serves breakfast that when the waitress asked if we would like sauce and then said “I am sorry we have no brown sauce only tomato” if they knew they had run out it only takes 5 minutes to go down the road & buy a bottle! Certainly not the best breakfast by far.

It has taken me a few days to calm down so that I write a balanced review. So the food, was awesome. I couldn’t fault the food, absolutely delicious. The issue was the service. It was our first wedding anniversary so wanted it to be special. What we got was literally the worst experience we’ve ever had in a restaurant. We walked in and were seated at our table. We were one of only four tables with people on so it wasn’t busy at all. We then never saw a server! We waited so long with no drinks I walked to the bar, got served and was back at our table enjoying our drinks by the time someone appeared and asked if we were ready to order food. Absolutely no awareness that I had gone and got our drinks. Unheard of!!! We ordered the camembert sharer which arrived quite quickly, and got launched onto the table before the waitress disappeared. Absolutely no mention of ‘enjoy your food’ or ‘that looks nice’ or ‘can I get you anything else’. I walked up to the waiters station to ask for some side plates which were missing. I assume it was the male manager who then fetched these and I returned to enjoy our starter. This got cleared away and as she went to walk away I had to ask for some more drinks. The main arrived and as the waitress disappeared again I had to get up and retrieve some cutlery from another table or I would be eating with my hands. We finished our delicious food and decided to take our drinks to the comfortable seating in the bar area. It is worth mentioning that we were now the ONLY table left in the restaurant and had to sit there listening to one waitress say to the other ‘why is there no guests’? We felt very valued. We felt even more valued when whilst sat in the bar area enjoying our drinks the manager walked to the front doors closing them (it was 20:15 and the restaurant doesn’t close until 21:00). He then boastfully walked past us and announced to the staff that he had ‘locked up’. (Which they thought was excellent). We sat there not even sure if we would be able to get out, and feeling very much as if we had outstayed our welcome we quickly drank our drinks and left. We have never felt so awkward and undervalued as customers ever. We will not return and will not recommend this restaurant. The restaurant looks lovely but I can go to any chain restaurant and be treated much better. I would put the service from the waiting staff down to training, but the managers actions were simply rude.

After a lovely meal here a month ago we were looking forward to returning. Could not have been more disappointed. 3 out of our four mains were inedible. Medium filet steak which was served without a hint of pink and extremely dry. A burger cooked to within an inch of its life and again VERY dry and tasteless and a beef pie with cheesy mash that can only be described as the worst mash I’ve ever eaten. Tasteless, lumpy and definitely not cheesy. Returned to the kitchen to check if the chef had added cheese. Returned to the table and had clearly been microwaved as it had hard burnt but around the edges - still couldn’t taste the cheese. Service wasn’t great unfortunately. 10-15 minute wait for drinks to be bought to our table after ordering (it wasn’t busy) and the waitress quite abrupt (even more so after we complained). Will not be returning!!

We were a bit worried by some of the reviews but thought we’d try it anyway and we’re very glad we did. We waited a few minutes to be seated but they were busy and the drinks took a while to come but apart from this the service was very good. My husband had a swordfish starter which he really enjoyed. Two of us had pulled brisket pies and the third person had duck. All the meals were really good and well presented. This was followed up with 3 peach tart tatins which were also great. We will definitely be back

This place looks lovely from the outside and is set up nicely inside, but that’s where it stops unfortunately. The food let’s this place down and of course the lack of staff, especially at the weekend - which I know can’t be helped. The waitresses are run ragged and can’t keep up with customer demands (poor things). They’re doing their best! They just need help from their manager who was behind the bar, due to not having staff that were over a certain age to serve drinks. The food itself is average and is served cold , and overdone when it arrives at the table. It clearly sat under the heat lamps for such a long time as the staff can’t get around everyone quick enough. The chefs constantly ring the bell for someone to collect. The owners need to take a hard look at the service of this place and help their staff when needed.

Arrived at 730pm for an evening meal with some friends. Not been here for a while so thought we'd try it. Got shown to our table and 2 minutes later we were asked if we would like a drink but hadn't seen a drinks menu which we were soon given. Asked the waitress what beers they had and the response was "errrr beers". Not a great start or response and the options weren't even on the drinks menu, anyway we got around that and got that sorted. Next our food order was taken which was repeated back to us but incorrectly so we had to let the waitress know who then repeated it back correctly. I even joked with our friends that I bet the food arrives wrong. Starters arrived all ok and were lovely. Low and behold however the main meals were a bit of a disaster....1 wrong meal and 1 didn't turn up. My friend ordered the chicken Nicoise however salmon turned up as they'd run out of chicken apparently. My friend doesn't even eat salmon and they didnt even ask if she would like that instead. 3 minutes later a chicken one turns up even though they said they had no chicken so now we're being lied to. I then had to wait about another 15 minutes for my meal as it was forgotten. Take into account we'd been at the restaurant an hour and a half and were only just starting main meals. We also had to take the clean cutlery off the table next to us as we weren't given this with our meals. Inbetween starters and main meals we'd ordered a round of drinks, yet again 1 was forgotten about so had to wait on that again. Another waitress came over to apologise and said the previous waitress was new. That's fine and people always need training however if they weren't competent then shadow them and train them to help get it right. Another male waiter came over to apologise and said he'd talk to the manager to help compensate us for what had happened...that's ok and great. Another female waitress then came over and said the manager had gone home and she was just a waitress and was apologetic again...to be honest she was very kind and I felt sorry for her as it was like she was left to deal with it all whilst others maybe hid. To be clear we didn't shout, but did advise on the disappointment of the service. To cut a long story short we were fairly compensated for the poor service and the food was actually nice when we got it. We did expect however to come to a fairly premium restaurant to get a premium service and sadly we didn't get this. Training was clearly lacking and lack of ownership on the business side of things. I would have much preferred the original waitress to come over and apologise for what had happened...instead it was passed onto a couple of other people to deal with who clearly looked uncomfortable and maybe slightly embarrassed. Ironically there was a table not far away which also had a minor complaint and also it wasn't even that busy so that couldn't be used as an excuse. Such a shame really.

5 start service for our waitress Mallie. She was so accommodating with our bill/ dietary requirements and she went out of her way to ensure we had an enjoyable evening. Our food was mostly very enjoyable - the steaks were cooked to perfection and were a great cut but I have have taken a star rating off as the chicken was over cooked - however this was dealt with very well.

It’s an impressive building from the outside and the decor inside continues that theme; this place certainly has the impression of a high end venue. The staff are all friendly and there’s a good mix of different seating in the initial bar area, from sofas to high tables for singletons and couples. The surprising aspect is the decent prices given the smart vibe. For a special occasion or something a bit more than the usual pub vibe I’d recommend here and will certainly be returning.

Overpriced and dreadful food. We met up with friends we only see once or twice a year and really looked forward to our eve together. Sadly the food spoilt the evening event !

Took my elderly parents here for Christmas Lunch. Good choice on the menu and friendly service. Food very good. Ambience was generally pleasing with no background music (a definite plus in my book). Would certainly return.
