Dynamic pricing rip off for a shabby room.
I was in Bedford to clear my late parent's house, as I didn't know how long it would take, I booked into several hotels during my stay. Having noticed that the bigger hotels were indulging in dynamic pricing on one evening I booked into the Kingfisher (at about 6pm, so I can't imagine there would be massive amounts of people searching for a room at that time), assuming that as it was an independent hotel they must be offering something special for the exorbitant room rate,I am not allowed to mention otherwise my review is not allowed to be posted especially as the photographs would indicate that it was a very nice hotel, with bright and airy rooms. What I got was a dingy room with no air con, no mini fridge and tired decor which quite frankly was below the standards of what you'd find in a premier inn. It was quite galling to note that a couple of days later they were charging almost fifty per cent less . So I guess that dynamic pricing practices aren't just for the big boys. Frankly even £89 would still be too much for what you get. They promise "views over our grounds " well, I suppose that technically, the car park is within the grounds so the view of the car park I got would be covered by that statement, but it isn't what you'd really imagine from the website. Once bitten, twice shy. i won't be staying there again.

Rooms at let down
Staff, restaurant and surroundings all very nice. Room was tired and expensive (£170/night!). Double room was just two singles pushed together with no mattress topper so you could feel the whole gap where the beds joined. Noisy when people got up (5.30am) as water pipes are loud and doors banging all over the place. Won't stay again

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was disappointing no view overlooked a flat roof to other buildings. Window security broken. Lock on bathroom door broken if you closed it you were locked in!! Room 26. Considering we booked this room in January for 2 nights would have thought they could have done better. Breakfast staff slow and not attentive.
