Good hotel close to the railway station

The hotel is a few minutes walk from the railway station, check in was fast and the receptionists were friendly. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable but the window wasn't soundproof and sometimes I could hear the people shouting outside in the street.

Convenient

Convenient, safe and practical Easter Weekend in Luton based at Thistle Express London Luton. In the heart of the great Town of Luton. Not far to anywhere. Only 20 minutes walk to the Football Stadium at Kenilworth Road. Simple breakfast serving the basic needs. Good staff always helpful.

6/10 Good

One night only

Unfortunately the short stay we had at the hotel, for an early flight, was spoilt by other customers talking outside their rooms throughout the night amd the early morning. We also had McDonals and KFC food theown on the floor outside our door when we departed, with wrappers everywhere. Staff were friendly, rooms what you expect for the price, but the clientele Unfortunately spoilt any chance of sleep.

8/10 Very good

Very close to the Mail Very convenient
Zahida, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The stuff are amazing.. super friendly and helpful shout out to Ali I arrived after midnight and he was very nice along with the lady next morning. I won't say its the best hotel but it definitely one of the best ones I stayed at with this price. The rooms are generally good condition might need some maintenance here and there. In general they are clean and tidy. The lactating is good if you traveling from/to Luton bus (A) is just 5 minutes walk if not less for 3 pounds. Along with other options depending on your preference.
Tamara, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Ideal if you want the town , unfortunately whilst we stayed the stench of drugs within and outside hotel was not pleasant. Not sure if it was used just as a hotel.
