Top Hertfordshire County Showground Hotel Reviews

ibis London Luton Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, good value hotel right near Luton airport. Maybe 5 minutes walk away from the terminal. Ibis is a big brand hotel, so you know what you're getting; clean, well laid out, breakfast available. For a quick overnight before it after a flight this place is perfect."

Holiday Inn Express London Luton Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal hotel to stay in if flying in or out of Luton airport as you can walk from the hotel straight to the arrivals/departures at Luton. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast had every we wanted. Despite being so close to the airport, the room was still perfectly quiet. My kids loved looking out our window to see the planes landing and taking off. We found the price was very good for the location and comfort of the rooms. Over all, I would have no hesitation in staying here again if ever in the area."

Spark by Hilton Luton

8/10 Good

"Considering that Luton is not the place it used to be, I was pleasantly surprised at how clean & modern the hotel was. Our 2 night stay was great, however I do think coffee should be a free perk whenever you stay in any hotel anywhere. They did have coffee up in the room, but the coffee downstairs in the communal breakfast area was only available with the purchase of breakfast; this should have been available for free. Otherwise, it was a great choice of hotel, close walking distance to everything Luton has to offer, and I would definitely stay here again."

CiTi Hotel London Luton

10/10 Excellent

"Room was basic, quick check-in and good for 1 night. It’s across a shopping mall with many eateries and the bus station to the airport was quick to find. Would recommend if you need a quick stay before or after a flight from Luton airport."

Hampton by Hilton London Luton Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, decent rooms, decent bar area and food, ideal for travel from Luton airport"

Old Cock Inn

The terrace

10/10 Excellent

"I and my family had an amazing stay in the apartment. The apartment is very clean, Host was very welcoming, amenities were wonderful, communication was very effective and efficient. Even when I reported an item that was accidentally broken by my husband, the host took it simply and was more concerned that my husband was not hurt by the incident. She is such an amazing person. I will definitely use the apartment again whenever am around and I highly recommend it to any customer looking for a comfortable place in St Albans."
