    Great location but not the easiest to find. Make sure you get the correct postcode for satnav to stand a better chance.of finding it first time. Parking onsite but limited and very expensive. Recommend parking on the street for free ( watch parking restriction times ). Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms basic but clean tidy and upto modern standards, room warm, bed comfortable, linen clean and towels soft. Note no tea and coffee facilities in room but Free at reception. Rooms are quite with no banging doors. Breakfast good whilst in Covid lockdown. Pleasant experience and excellent for the price if in a deal. Now staying regularly so have to recommend.

    Location is in centre of Luton and close to train station. Food and shops straight out the door. Excellent value for money

    Car park charge at £10 a night ridiculously high.

    Simple and fairly clean place, efficient and excellent staff at all times. Cool double room with TV, the shower, for instance. Painless check in and late check out. Everything perfect. Central location so close to the mall, train station, shopping centre, well priced rooms. Reliable hotel by River Lea.

    spacious room

    Just a proper fit for a momentary pause in Luton with very good value for money. The room was spacious, perfect for a family. Keep an eye out for the parking area which can feel a bit sketchy at night.
