Good experience. Customary high standard at affordable price. Breakfast gets monotonous over a long stay. The egg should be varied.

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, 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.

It was so lovely nothing to fault about the hotel and it comes with breakfast. I got to checkin early. My family loved everything about the hotel
1-night trip

10/10

We only stayed for one night. We were checking in after midnight so it was very important that reception was open late/24h. Because it was a busy weekend we got upgraded to a king size room for free. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. We didn't use the shower so we can't comment on that. Breakfast was for free but I'm not sure if it was part of the upgrade as it said it wasn't included in our original booking. Breakfast was good; they had a small choice of cooked breakfast and some toast, cereal and sweet pastries. You can help yourself to hot drinks from the machine 24h for free. We were able to park for free on the road just outside the hotel, which is free between Sat 6pm and Mon 8/9am
