Holiday Inn Express London Luton Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Stay was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was surprisingly diverse buffet. Only down was AC was blew low despite high setting. Conveniently located near bus top and airport at walking distance"

Thistle Express London Luton

8/10 Good

"We were pleasantly surprised at just how good this budget hotel was. Decent sized room with everything we needed, except air conditioning although a fan was provided. Had to keep window closed as it was quite noisy outside. Reception staff on arrival (very late) was very warm and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again."
