Me and my children love staying here! The location is perfect and there are so many things I can do within walking distance to stop them from being bored, e.g. playgyms, trampoline centre, cinema. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The free wifi works great too, never once dropped or had issues with connection. Breakfast selection is great too, maybe a little more variety on the kids cereals, but otherwise brilliant and tastes lovely. The rooms are great, good sizes, very clean and very comfy beds! My children loved staying over the New Year and I welcomed the break. Would highly recommend Thistle Express every time.

We were visiting from Ireland, first time in Luton. The hotel was very nice with great location. The staff were very helpful and polite. Particularly Giovanni, who was extremely helpful to us and made our stay a lot better. He was very kind, professional and helpful. Me and my family were very appreciative of Giovanni, of how friendly and helpful he was to us and for accommodating and ensuring we had a nice/comfortable stay. The location of the hotel is excellent. Easy access to the Mall, and only a five minute walk to the train station. It was very easy to get to central London. A 45 minute train ride brought us to central London.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Luton Mall, with shops, bars, and eateries within a 1-3 minute walk. The English breakfast buffet offers a good variety, though it lacks porridge and haddock, and the lobby has free beverage machines available 24/7, offering coffee, Americano, Cappuccino, Latte, hot water, and a selection of teabags, milk cartridges, and sugars. The rooms are comfortable, the lifts to all floors worked efficiently, and the staff promptly addressed our heating issue by providing a mobile heater, ensuring a pleasant stay.

It was my third stay at this hotel. You can’t go wrong with them. The first two times I’ve struggled a bit to find it, but this time it was easy. I love the location: it’s so close to the train station and the shopping centre. The staff are very nice and friendly although they were fully booked last night and busy. The breakfast is very good too with the choice of English breakfast, very nice ham, pancakes, jam, nutella, nice coffees. I booked it in advance so the price was reasonable.

Very close to city centre - you can actually go pretty much directly from the Luton point mall on the first floor. Friendly staff. And it’s great that the breakfast buffet is included in the price. Comfortable bed and good shower pressure (and I was on the top floor) - nothing that I can fault. I’ll be returning.
