Hotels With Parking in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

The hotel is wonderfully situated right on the beautiful River Great Ouse. Each morning, you can watch flocks of swans glide past, and local rowing teams train – it makes for a truly picturesque and atmospheric setting. Breakfast was excellent! Would definitely love to return if given the opportunity.

The accommodation is just a few minutes walk from the airport. The insulation is good and you can't hear anything in the rooms. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast is varied, something for everyone.

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.

All good, except overpriced.

Thus hotel was very clean and readonable priced. Staff were very helpful too!

Friendly 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.

Hotel was located in a convenient location with it being a 1 min walk from the train station. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I had a fantastic stay at Thistle Express Hotel Luton! From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was clean, modern, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed that made it easy to relax after a long day. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like complimentary refreshments and the strong Wi-Fi, which made my stay even more convenient. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Luton, close to shops, restaurants, and transport links, making it ideal for both business and leisure travellers. Overall, Thistle Express Hotel Luton offers excellent value for money with great service, comfort, and convenience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Luton!

The Premier Inn is a decent value for money. The staff were very helpful at check-in given that we arrived a bit earlier than 3pm , they allowed us to to change into clothing more appropriate for the toasty afternoon ( sunny and 25C) and leave our belongings in storage behind the reception. The biggest drawback , in my books, was the fact the window in our room was sealed shut and we had to rely on the HVAC system for fresh air. The location made it easy to reach from Luton Airport after a 10 min walk from the Luton Station Interchange, but the surrounding area has a bit of a rough edge to it.
