I love the complimentary free breakfast including full English ( so nice ) not many hotels offer that. Price was reasonable too only down side was a single bed but I got what was offered.
Apart from the bed which was very comfortable, I am afraid to say that the toilet seat was the wrong one for the toilet and kept moving. There was no tea facilities in the room which is unheard of. The breakfast was terrible, they had no milk for my corn flakes, the toaster was not working and the receptionist who met us in arrival was just unhelpful and uninterested in his role it would appear.
We missed our plane, and we needed somewhere to stay the night. It was insanely helpful that we could crash somewhere that was close, and budget friendly. Checking was very easy, and the room was clean and comfortable. It was perfect for what we needed at the time.
Hotel entrance was difficult to find - on foot from station we walked all the way round before finding the way in. Tip: walk straight ahead from station into shopping centre, then take elevator upstairs and turn right (during retail opening times) hotel entrance is then immediately outside the exit door. Room and bed was comfortable. Nice big towels. Buffet breakfast included was very good value for money. A hotel that I would definitely recommend and would return to.
No great, air vent in every room that runs ice cold air at night even with full blast radiator on as these get covered by the long heavy draped curtains to the floor. My room was changed on again to have same issues and then worst noises all night/day with no restful sleep. First day arriving a woman who looked like a homeless drunk with a foul mouth manners swore at me for no reason. All mentioned to the staff/manager on duty & absolute nothing! Leading up to hotel is very run down..very dirty like a back alley way. No kettle/tea/coffee facilities in room have to come down every time via lift then back up again with a hot drink. Future will stay at a 4star only because the area Luton is quite run down and many creepy/doggy people about.
Came in late evening for a night, had a tandem room. but no compliants, it was very clean. The staff at the reception was very very helpful (Thank you).
Very good job, This hotel is on top list whenever i visit and already have recommended to friends and family who frequently travel
