If I knew the work was going on, I would not have stayed there
Pros:

Location was good to where we needed to be

Cons:

There were major works going on and was producing dust and debris which we were not made aware of and if we knew it was happening, would not have chosen to stay there.
When using the facilities (pool area), there was constant noise, and the male changing rooms were out of order, some people were changing in the corridor and temporary changing areas. Very poor

Professional, friendly and responsive to our needs.
Pros:

We held our school Prom at the venue and have done so for some years. The team was responsive and professional, working to provide an experience that suited our needs. I enjoyed working alongside them - Joanna and Reshad were great, a huge thank you to them for making the night so good. Our students loved it. I would recommend them to any other school looking to have their Prom there.

Dirty mattress on the floor for 4 year old
Pros:

Booked a ‘family room’ arrived to a double bed, along with a stained mattress on the floor for our 4 year old. Room was also incredibly dusty everywhere. Grey headboard had stains on several places. Felt generally unclean in all areas of the room. Only stayed for one night and glad it wasn’t any longer. Overall would not recommend and unfortunately will not return.

Excellent service from Karen!
Pros:

We visited for a business lunch as a group of seven and had a fantastic experience.

Karen looked after us from start to finish and was absolutely brilliant. She was warm, welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made sure everyone in our group had everything they needed. Her service was efficient without ever feeling rushed, and she really helped create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

The food was great, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the overall experience was excellent. A big thank you to Karen for making our lunch so enjoyable. She's a real credit to the team, and we'll definitely be back.

VWorks at the Village Elstree hotel
Pros:

As a member of VWorks since it opened, I just want to say how helpful and friendly Joanna is. Nothing is too much trouble and it is a joy to work here when you have such a wonderful representative of the time on site to help with any small niggles that occur from time to time. VWorks remains a great place to work and there is nowhere locally quite like it
