Thistle Express London Luton
10/10 Excellent
"Great location. Staff on arrival were very friendly and helpful. First impression of reception was modern and clean. The room was clean, spacious and the bed was so comfortable."
"Considering that this is a well known chain of hotels, i would consider this one to be average.
The reception staff need to listen to the customer and repeat back what they understand. As my account was a mix up with another room that i was also paying for so NO CHARGES should have gone on that room, and i asked to be able to charge to my room, which again was NOT initially set up.
The bedroom windows didnt open the "air con" just moved the air around well a desk fan could have done that.
The breakfast food was warm at best, the toast and coffee was the hottest items available.
The evening meals however where GREAT really nice and well worth the money.
Just all in all sadly average."
"Nice food but the staff seemed rather unprepared. They put all my food on another room and when I pointed out it was missing they didn’t even say thank you. They had already told me there was nothing to pay and good bye.. "
The most popular time to visit Whipsnade Zoo is April, when spring fully awakens the lush greenery and vibrant wildlife, creating a picturesque backdrop for your adventure. As the weather begins to warm, with temperatures typically ranging from 10 to 15°C, it's an ideal setting for families and nature enthusiasts to explore the expansive grounds.
During the peak season from June to August, Whipsnade experiences a lively influx of visitors eager to see the diverse range of animals and partake in various activities. This bustling atmosphere adds to the excitement, with many events and educational talks scheduled throughout the day.

You can often enjoy shorter queues and a more relaxed pace, allowing for intimate family moments and closer engagement with the animals.
