Pros:

Very helpful and pleasant staff. The environment of the hotel is like home from home. I will definitely stay again. Hopefully, they will be able to provide a nice full English breakfast :-)

A warm welcome, great location, good restaurant and bar.
Pros:

The Verve staff cannot do enough for you. Thank you to Baz, Naz, Rebecca, the lady who tidied our room and the handyman who helped us downstairs with our heavy cases. The bar and restaurant on site offer a great range of food and drinks in a pleasant dining area. There is a garden and outdoor area for sunny days. Twin beds are soft, comfortable but narrow (to fit in the space), a handy fridge is provided and a fan for warmer weather. Plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits in our room. The en suite shower room was small but adequate and the water temperature and flow was fine. Good location for town and Bedford Station.

Cons:

Stairs become narrow at the top of the hotel with no lift, but that's the nature of a building with history.

Absolute Scam. Do not stay here.
Pros:

Nothing. Absolute Scam!

Cons:

Absolute scam! Do not stay here.

The Bad:

❌ The room in the pictures does not look at all as the room alocated.

❌ Unbearable noise..

❌ Dodgy privacy policies.

❌ Lied about the refund.

Review:
I don’t usually leave bad reviews, but this hotel is a complete joke. The first thing you notice upon arrival is that the room looks absolutely nothing like the pictures online, and feels like a completely different place.

Getting any sleep is difficult. There noise from the restaurant and kitchen bleeding through the walls, combined with the racket of customers in the corridors.. Zero soundproofing.

To make matters worse, the front desk demands your driver's license to make a photocopy, which feels like a highly suspicious privacy policy and makes you feel unsafe from the very beginning.

To top off this nightmare, I decided to leave early. The staff promised they would refund our second night if we requested the cancellation through Booking. I followed all the steps, but they never honored their word and kept our money.

Awful management, liars, and horrible service. I would never go back even if they paid me. Stay away!

Never again
Pros:

Had shower and toilet in my room

Cons:

Had a strange smell like stagnant water, evening guy was rude and told me I couldn’t park where I had yet a taxi was blocking me moving. Wasn’t shown around. Bed didn’t feel like a double. Lights coming in from outside.carpets frayed on stairs. Plug in smells in the room to try and hide the smell. Left on the Sunday instead of the Monday due to being very disappointed in the whole stay.

Absolute Scam. Do not visit this hotel.
Pros:

Absolute scam—do not trust their cancellation promises
"Avoid the Verve Hotel. The room I was given was much smaller than pictured online. When I asked to cancel, the front desk told me I would get a refund for my second night if I checked out early and requested the cancellation through Booking.com. I trusted them, left the hotel, and sent the requested messages through the app. The hotel has since ignored every single message, and my refund never came. On top of this, their check-in process involves an uncomfortable policy of photocopying your ID. Misleading pictures and terrible customer service." In addition the room was pretty noisy, noise from the kitchen, restaurant and customers in the corridor.

The Verve. Bedford
Pros:

The hotel was excellent. The staff went way and above to make our stay very enjoyable. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the service was the best we have experienced. We ate in the restaurant both nights and couldn’t complain about anything. Food was fantastic. We will definitely recommend this hotel and definitely return
