Maternity amenity rooms

The thought of coming into hospital can be a little daunting. We naturally want to make your stay comfortable and are aware that many women would prefer the added comfort and privacy of a single amenity room during their stay.

At Watford General Hospital we have two types of amenity rooms available for women to book. Amenity rooms are available for women who wish to have extra privacy after they have given birth. You will still be treated as an NHS patient, but are paying for the privacy of a single room.

Price: £100 per night

When you are admitted in labour please ask your midwife to check for availability. These rooms are booked on a 'first come, first served' basis. Rooms cannot be pre-booked and are subject to availability. Prices are per night and payment can be made by credit/debit card and paid on a daily basis.

Please note:

  • Food is only provided for mothers. Partners can make use of other catering facilities around the hospital
  • If your clinical condition declines, you will be transferred out of the amenity room to allow staff to observe you more closely.
  • If the amenity room is required for the clinical need of another woman, she will take priority. In this instance any advance payment will be refunded.
  • Payment is for the room only and does not constitute private midwifery or medical treatment/care.
