Flight cancellation meant we had to book a last minute hotel. This was perfect, less than 10min walk from the terminal and facilities were clean and staff were very welcoming.

Nice little hotel with beautiful garden and seating area.
However hotel need to be bit more transparent with the situation there atm as I totally understand it and commend them for doing it, however not making paying customers aware this is why bars aren’t open or breakfast / food services are not available will lead to complaints and making customers feel very uncomfortable. But this does not take away from the staff there who were all extremely welcoming and doing the best with the cards they have been dealt.
I had a lovely big room and huge bed , which was comfortable.
Large picture windows with view of river & town over the bridge next to the hotel.
Room had all the usual amenities- kettle, mugs,, tea, coffee, sugar & milk. Shampoo & bodywash in bathroom, hairdryer. Box of tissues in bathroom.
The bathroom has a good size cubicle and good pressure in the shower.
I did not use the in house restaurant, so cannot comment.
The bar was good and there was a water dispenser on the counter..Great for filling up my water bottle for the day.
So lovely to walk out of the hotel and over the bridge to the town, including the excellent museums, or walk along the paths on either side of the river.
Only slight downside was the route down the stairs was a bit convoluted, but there were lifts of course.
Room clean and tidy. Unfortunately a couple of lights were not working in the bathroom so made for a bit of a palaver trying to shower in almost darkness.
The breakfast was good with lots of choice, sadly the coffee in the machine wasn’t of good quality and was very bitter.
The staff were very polite, friendly and professional.
Overall, would choose to stay again.

It is a fine, cheap stay if you have an early flight. Rooms are very small and outdated, you can hear anyone walking through the corridor and the bed wasn't particularly comfortable. Staff on the front desk were lovely and helpful, but the hotel needs some work.

I am David Lee from Hong Kong, Luton Town fans before we are in the Premier League. The location of Thistle Express Luton is just 10 minutes walk from the station, and the exit of the hotel, would you believe it is just a minute walk from Luton Point, their main shopping mall! There are KFC and McDonalds in there which you are no longer to use UBER Eat to pay extra, also there are TESCO Express which you can buy drink and fast food there. The Thistle Express Luton hotel lobby provide free breakfast, tea and coffee, and you can use microwave, so you can save lots of money on lunch and dinner.

Hard to listen to the traumatic stories of families awaiting social housing to house them.
The staff are all caring and professional.
It’s evident that they are a good team.
I’ve stayed in three different rooms, all very comfortable!

Small basic windowless room with ensuite, bit tired but very clean.
Friendly, helpful staff and good location next to the station.
Stayed on Friday night and was quite a bit of noise from people walking down the corridor late but slept well none the less
Nothing fancy but if you need a cheap place to crash close to station this is an adequate option.
Attention to details, great value for money, the room was spotless, staffs were friendly, check in was quick. Restaurant were amazing. Highly recommended and will return in the future.
Very Good

GGuest UserThis hotel is located just a short walk away from the train station and shops. The room was good and the shower very good. Breakfast was also good. I would recommend thus hotel
GGuest UserI booked and paid for a superior room based on your offer, as I have stayed in this room before. However, I was given a shabby, small room, number 14. It seems rooms 14 and 15 are reserved for guests you no longer wish to see. The explanation from the friendly receptionist was that the hotel was fully booked, which was not true. She tried to make up for the situation with a practical gift from Champneys, but the claustrophobic room and the difficulty of accessing it with a large suitcase after a long journey were unpleasant. The hotel incorrectly judged me based on my attire, even though I intended to use their facial massage services, which were very professional, as were their massages and the products they use. Everything that was old seven years ago is now seven years older and even more worn out. Breakfasts are modest but healthy. They could use more fresh herbs, which they once grew in the spa gardens, now overgrown with weeds. Guests leave their plates and glasses on the lawn, and no one picks them up promptly. The spa lacks organization, except on weekends when older women step in to help, solving problems more quickly and efficiently. I am disappointed because it is not fair to deceive customers regarding room types. While the room lacked nothing and was regularly cleaned, it was next to a smelly toilet, and I was promised a superior room but given a standard one, as indicated on the temporary card received upon arrival. However, I must commend the lady who has diligently worked there for 30 years. It would be nice if she were friendly even when not promoting their services. If improvements are not made to the facilities and surroundings, there is no reason for me to return specially after the room switch and no difference in the price.
EExploring our one precious worldFriendly staff and very convenient for an early flight
The staff at the hotel are exceptionally friendly and helpful. When I first checked in, I realised I had accidentally booked an accessible room — which was enormous and very, very clean. However, because it had a connecting door, someone in the neighbouring room tried to open their side, which completely startled me.
When I went downstairs to mention it, the staff didn’t hesitate at all. They immediately offered to move me to another room where I wouldn’t have the anxiety of hearing someone try the connecting door. It was clearly very safe, but I really appreciated how quickly and kindly they responded.
I had dinner at the hotel restaurant — the food was fairly average and a little on the expensive side, although the atmosphere was lively and, again, the staff were very friendly.
One downside is that the walls seem quite thin. Around 12:30am a group checked in and were talking loudly in the corridor for about half an hour, which woke me up. If you’re a light sleeper, I’d recommend bringing earplugs. In fairness, I didn’t call reception at the time — and based on how helpful they were earlier, I suspect they would have dealt with it quickly.
Checking out was easy, and I walked to the airport in the morning. It’s actually a very straightforward walk — especially once you get past the roundabout and go under the road. I’d definitely recommend this hotel if you have an early flight from Luton.
GGuest UserAmazing location if you're going to the airport - immediately outside the Luton Airport Parkway station, maybe a minute or two's walk to the front desk. The room was clean and spacious, and the breakfast was included, which was great. Nice selection for a budget hotel breakfast too, including waffles and lots of hot and continental options. Had a great stay!

JJeovoniFirst time visiting Bedford and I loved this quick hotel here. Walkable distance to the train station, a few restaurants nearby and short distance to the center for shopping and food.

Greeted upon arrival with a smile, the rooms pretty small for a 6’3 athletic guy such as myself. However, it’s functional with everything you need.

AAnonymous UserWe loved our stay here! It’s a very well designed hotel, with a special history and lots of unique touches throughout. Our room overlooked the river, and had all the usual things you expect from a nice hotel plus some excellent artworks. The only thing to note is that even though this is a spa hotel, the spa isn’t included in the hotel rate- we hadn’t realised that that needed to be booked separately. There were no issues fitting us in though!
