Enough for one night before flight

Convinient for one night before catching the flight from Luton airport. Staff was really helpful.

The area is not pretty at all, no airconditioning and it was boiling hot. QUite noisy around area. THough for one night before catching flight and also you get what you pay for. Pay little and you get little.

Good value for money.

Clean, and no too expensive. Good way to spend the night before your flight. The service was excellent 👌🏽

A little bit far from airport. You can take a bus or a taxi. The city of Luton is not very interesting to visit.

comfortable and great value for money

Room was clean and quiet. The staff were friendly and efficient. The breakfast was unexpected but great value

Could have tea/ coffee making facilities in the room. The location was a little unsettling for an overseas visitor , my room overlooked the town square and after arriving I would have liked to pop out to one of the many takeaway places that are just a stones throw away , but the noises that were coming from the people using the square made me feel that it might not be to safe to do so.

Ideal for short trip to airport

Central location, good local parking nearby. Easy access to city centre and bars / restaurants but does serve some food on-site.

Very good value for money!

Big and comfortable bed, in the city center of Luton, is 5 minutes away from the bus station where we were drop off from airport. The staff was exceptional, they helped us with everything, we could deposit our luggages there for the entire day before we went back to the airport. There is an english breakfast available: beans, omlette, sausages, 2 types of bread, freshly baked pain au chocolat and croissant, jam, yogurt, cereals.

Nothing to complain. I think is a very good value for the money paid.

I love thistle hotels and would highly recommend you. My 1st encounter with your complimentary breakfast and it exceeded

A good solid central hotel

I know it said you could request a bath mat. I desired a bath as been in Spain 9 days showering. The bath was luxury. Alas your baths are exceeding slippery I slipped and knocked my head on the tiles. I took me a long time to get out.,I think your polite notice about bath mat request, should be more safety aware.

I thought there were small errors that’s added up to potentially make something it wasn’t.

Nice hotel for good value for money in Luton

The rooms are nice and comfortable, free breakfast and unlimited hot drinks in the reception. Overall good value for money.

Difficult to find the main reception door following google maps. Easier to go into the mall and turn to the right before the escalators if you’re exiting via St George’s Square

Comfortable city hotel

We were up on the 9th floor so it was really quiet. The bed was amazing. The bathroom was clean with lovely fluffy towels. Breakfast was good, a good variety.

Our flight was delayed so when we got to Luton it was dark, so actually finding the entrance is impossible. A tip is if you can find whetherspoons,turn around and it's opposite up a dark flight of steps.

Nice stay but having to pay £10 overnight for parking is ridiculous

Room and the cleanliness

Having to pay for parking when I am a guest at the Inn. In fact, £10 parking fee was too expansive. You will to review this aspect for you to encourage people to come again.

Nice basic room, close to transport and helpful staff.

Great transport links and nice comfy bed with not too much noise.

Lacked a few essentials like tissues in the bedroom or water available for free. You had to pay for bottles of water at reception which was a slight inconvenience.

Super wygodnie a i obfite śniadanie.

Hotel ma bardzo eleganckie, przestronne pokoje z wszystkim co potrzebne w czasie pobytu. Hol i restauracja na dole bardzo przestronna i ładna. Śniadania są obfite i smaczne w tej super cenie. Ekspres do kawy za darmo czynny całą dobę. Można zaopatrzyć się w coś do picia też przez całą dobę w punkcie przy recepcji. Świetna lokalizacja 100 m od Shopping Moll, 300 od dworca kolejowego i 2 km od stadionu piłkarskiego Luton!

Wolałbym jajka sadzone na miękko zamiast waszej jajecznicy. :)

Ideal for stop over at Luton airport

Close proximity to the airport, clean and comfy rooms - decent breakfast

No kettle / tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms. Even though available from reception it would have been better to be able to make a drink in the room

Good place don't expect much 😏

Near the airport and in the center of town Some of the staff were nice

Very poor maintenance. Toilet and sink doesn't drain properly. Some of the staff where not nice, you should not expect them to do anything for you, small or big, even if it make sense to some of them.

Cheap, worn-out building and stained carpets.

Close to train station and shopping centre. Heart of Luton. Efficient check-in. Breakfast is included although limited and cooked wrong. Overcooked eggs, undercooked sausages, overcooked bacon. Better going to a nice breakfast cafe for a quality breakfast. Iron board in room.

Outdated, worn-out carpet and stains. Run-down building, far from appealing. Bathroom is small and outdated. Shampoo, body soap is cheap, unusable. There is a saying on the hotel menu saying “Treat it like its a hotel”, i think that sums it up.

El chipo hotel, air-conditioning not working (they know about it, because the fan was waiting in the room when we arrived) but good enough to stay overnight before your flight. Descent English-style breakfast that starts at 7:00 am. Can't complain for the price.

Not good enough

Room appeared clean but warm/ hot daytime.

Lift out of order second time that week and noone came to fix. Wake up call and a second call requested. Neither came so luckily my own alarm worked or I would have missed very early plane. Evidently this is not good enough. No breakfast or even drink available early morning.. Perhaps you can compensate me the approx 80 pounds costs for night of 25 july

Hotel is sufficient for overnight stay if needing just a bed and some breakfast.

Good breakfast Helpful staff Location Value for money

One lift out of action on arrival and remaining one very slow and sounded like it was needing attention! It was also not very clean day of check out - large clumps of mud on the floor of lift. Odd when hotel is in city centre.

Best value for the money

The location is really near the airport, so you can hear the planes especially in the morning, also the neighborhood is quite odd, the facility itself looks like from the 80's outside and noticeable worn out inside. But, it is sort of clean, the staff is extremely nice, there is free coffe/tea machine at the reception 24 hours, breakfast offer is not wide, but it is enough, especially considering it is included. The hotel is situated about 5 min walk from the train/bus station. The train connection to the city takes about half an hour. Overall, the hotel offers the best value for the price. We were very satisfied with the stay.

Clean and comfortable

Great property in the centre of Luton good for a one night stopover before or after a flight close to the train station and shopping mall. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was a bonus. The area nearby is a bit rough so the hotel seemed like a nice safe haven.

Jul 2023

Near the station, handy for the airport

No kettle in the room. We had to beg for one as they are not standard and eventually the receptionist found us one. You have to go to the main entrance if you want a hot drink. For that reason it gets a lower score as I would not stay again in a hotel room that has no kettle. Also it wasn’t easy to find the main entrance which is through the shopping mall, so signage needs to be better.

Cheap and cheerful base for exploring the area but standards are slipping.

Price, friendly staff, access to London via Thameslink.

One of the lifts wasn’t working. This is a frequent problem and is inexcusable.
