Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit of a letdown with their dusty and dirty state, plus the lack of essential amenities like water, tea, or coffee. Parking was a hassle and came at an extra cost. On the bright side, the service was exceptional, with the staff being kind, helpful, and always present. The location was convenient, close to the railway station and shops, but having to walk through smoke at the front door was off-putting. The dining experience was a mixed bag, as the breakfast options were limited, yet the service was nice. Overall, a decent stay with its share of disappointments and highlights.
I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. On the one hand, the room had some safety concerns with the lack of window screens and unconnected telephone wires, but it was clean and comfortable overall. The service was a bit inconsistent with the issue of disabled amenities only being fixed for one night. However, the staff, especially Andrei from Front of House, left a very positive impression. The location was convenient and near a shopping center but had some issues with the presence of drug users. The dining options catered well to food preferences, but the morning offering was a bit lacking.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, close to the mall and city center, but finding it was a bit tricky by car. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing excellent service, though the lack of tea/coffee facilities in the room was a downside. The dining options were nice but could have been better for guests, and the noise from outside made it difficult to relax in my room.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a nice ensuite, but the noise from the corridor was disruptive, especially at night. The hotel's location was great for exploring the city center, but it could feel a bit lonely at night. The service was generally good, with friendly and helpful staff, except for one lady during the morning shift.
The hotel had a mixture of positive and negative aspects. While the rooms were very clean and well-maintained, they appeared outdated and some amenities did not work properly. The service was friendly during check-in and breakfast, although a bit lacking in attentiveness. The location was convenient for our trip from London, yet the area felt run-down and unsafe at times. The dining options ranged from okay to very tasty, but some dishes were not cooked properly. Overall, the facilities were decent, offering both hot and cold drinks, but there were some issues with noise coming from a nearby car park.
The hotel has a great location, with clean and comfortable rooms, but some issues with temperature and a strange smell. The service is friendly but mixed with upselling attempts. The location is central yet a bit noisy, and the dining options need improvement. The facilities are average overall.
My stay at the hotel was a rather mixed experience. The rooms were a bit small but had a very comfortable large bed. Unfortunately, there were no tea/coffee facilities in the room, and the decor is starting to show its age.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and clean, and you can enjoy unlimited coffee for free. The service was exceptional, with staff being kind, efficient, and even providing extra comforts. The location was convenient, with easy access to transportation and town center, although finding it on Sat Nav was a bit tricky. Overall, a decent choice for the price.
The hotel had a well-equipped room with amenities like an iron, TV, desk, and air conditioning, but a desk fan provided was not working, making the room uncomfortably warm. The service was a mix of neglectful behavior with no greetings and helpful assistance, especially from the Spanish lady at the reception. As for the location, it was a bit far from central London, noisy, and lacked proper breakfast choices, although it was convenient to have free coffee makers and be close to the train station. The dining experience had unexpectedly varied and well-cooked dishes, but room refrigeration was missing and there was a limited choice for meals. Despite these ups and downs, the hotel had great facilities with clean and comfortable rooms and was reasonably priced.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern and bright, and the location was absolutely fantastic, just a short walk from Luton station. The service was wonderful, with very nice and helpful staff. However, dining options were limited after 9.30 am, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a great spot to stay overnight.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had a modern touch with powerful showers and comfy beds despite showing some wear and tear. However, the size of the room was disappointing as a double room felt congested with a small bed. The service was friendly and helpful, but the lack of dinner service upon arrival was a downside. The location was convenient, being right in the main shopping mall, but the area had some grubbiness and youth presence to be cautious of. The dining experience offered a variety, but the vegetarian and halal options were limited. Overall, the hotel had its charms but also areas to improve.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were very clean and well-equipped, but the inconvenience of having to go down eight flights of stairs for a drink due to broken lifts was a letdown. Unfortunately, there were no tea/coffee facilities in the room, and I also fell ill during my stay. Additionally, being next to the elevator meant I couldn't get a good night's sleep due to people talking as they came out of the elevator.
