Good overall stay. Staff in restaurants need to be aware of people eating and sort out complaints
Pros:

Was nice and clean in the room with plenty of products to use.

Cons:

Found long hair inside hash brown and in milk. Did mention to staff who did nothing, so I had to mention it to receptionist later. Receptionists were so helpful. Staff in restaurant kept trying to clear plates before we had finished eating. Annoying!!

Oasis in Watford
Pros:

Spent two nights at this hotel, central location less than 5 min walk to train station and bus terminal, where you can catch the free shuttle bus to Harry Potter studios.
Room was clean and well laid out, air con was icy cold was needed as temperature outside just under 30c also in the cupboard was a large fan plus radiator.
Breakfast buffet was well stocked and food plentiful and tasty! There’s also an Indian restaurant as part of the hotel which offered tasty foods but other side of restaurant offers usual pub fayre.
During my stay they are currently developing space outside the hotel for outside tables which will be good.
Staff where all very pleasant throughout, there’s a small selection of crisps/chocolates/juices at the bar but obviously expensive so bear this in mind if travelling with family and stock up or use a delivery service.
