It didn’t !! Toilet wouldn’t flush and bath filled up when having a shower ! Oh and the youngsters of Luton all need a form right hand and to pull there bottoms up and take those hoods down !!

From outside, the building looks like abundended, like in movies, need a refresh, new paint and more cleanliness. Breakfast starts at 7 am, but nothing happened till 07:10 am, that's why got late to my work. Half of the stuff we're missing in breakfast bar.

It was very very loud in the room. I managed to close a window but I was expecting slightly more from it. Walking from train station it had a difficult access through the parking lot which dragging a suitcase was difficult. The actual room was ok - but it was a very uncomfortable sleep. Otherwise it is close to the train station which was an excellent location. Staff were nice.

I would not recommend staying here for the airport as there’s plenty of other choices. The room was absolutely freezing, including the hallways. It could have been a one off but when speaking to staff they weren’t very helpful.

The room booked was terrible and barely organised. The reception attitude was cold and neglecting and there was only 1 toilet rol. No kettle, no mugs for teas and coffee and no iron or any ironing board. The windows were locked halfway and the heating was significantly hit all night with no way to turn.it off. I had to change the toom at spme point and disappointingly, I was charged extra 14 pounds on to.of sn already disappointing stay. I wnever recommend this hotel. Honesty, its not worth the money paid and a full refund is appropriate

AVOID AT ALL COSTS I cannot believe how horrendous my experience was given the huge number of positive reviews on this hotel. Travelling as a lone female so had a single room. First room had no hot water and no working phone to report this (only identified when I was already in the cold shower). Moved to another room, advised because of the heating system the hot water tap and shower needs to be run for 25 mins to get hot water ! Clearly this is a known issue for the hotel and not a one off ! The general state of repair of the room was APPALLING. The walls were peeling in multiple places. If I’m able to attach photos I will. If it had been earlier in the day I would have moved hotels but I didn’t feel safe going back outside hotel hunting at 7PM. I’m all for budget and basic but honestly this hotel needs to be condemned.
