    In a junior suite it can get a little chilly. They were nice to provide sheets for the sofa bed and get another heater in the room.

    Recently renovated rooms. Very nice and helpful staff. Kudos to Sam and Rob.

    The car park is at the end of a narrow road down some sketchy back streets. No lift and we stayed in the very top room. Only us and 1 other couple were waiting for breakfast but it took 30 minutes to get our food ( you are told to expect a 20 minute wait when you fill your form in saying what you would like) but really 30 minutes for 4 breakfasts and the tea and coffee were cold ( in ready made flasks) .

    Was very clean, nice size bathroom.

    The bed- it was uncomfortable and caused a back ache.

    Gorgeous interior and a gorgeous room. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had from a hotel and staff were attentive and friendly.

    Nothing really. If I was being very very picky maybe the hallways upstairs needed a lick of paint.

    Staff & the food was really good. The breakfast was really nice & good value for the money. The outside part of the hotel was being refurbished so we couldn't give it top marks but didn't want to down mark it, when finished I'm sure it will get top marks.

    Music from bar was loud until late at night (we stayed Friday/Saturday). The location is very central but the surrounding area is quite rundown.

    Lovely staff, centrally located, comfy beds, really clean and great shower !

    We stopped off in Luton on our way between airports and it was a great surprise. The folks at the hotel are very nice, the room was clean and the building has a lot of character. The terrace outside our room was a bonus and the view interesting – there were lots of trees but also the area is a transportation nexus with planes flying in and out of Luton Airport, trains passing by and in the distance a busy motorway. Luton is interesting - we spent time in Wardown Park and at the Wardown House Museum. Downtown Luton is also fascinating and we had a fantastic dinner at the Afgani Karwan Restaurant. We’ll be back to Luton and the Leaside Hotel!

    Lovely historical hotel convenient to Luton Aiport

    Nothing of any significance - would be useful if the shower had a soap dish inside as it was outside and the door opened inwards, which was awkward. The milk for the tea and coffee wasn't nice - skimmed milk and had a funny taste. Pillows were ok but not the most comfortable. Neighbourhood wasn't scenic but the hotel is very convenient so that compensates.

    The hotel is a lovely historical building, and the room was nicer, and bigger, than I expected. The decor is fabulous and quirky, in the dining area. The hotel is very close to the railway station and Luton airport. The breakfast was delicious, and good value. There is a restaurant on site for lunch and dinners as well. The hotel was quite vibey in the evenings but no disturbance to the rooms. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

    Great hotel but in real danger of being overlooked in future for the sake of a few extra pounds....

    The new breakfast arrangements are frankly a reason we may choose to go elsewhere in future. As we do not want a large breakfast we preferred the previous menu with lighter options at lower prices. Paying £10 for scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toast is excessive. Charging extra for the tea and coffee brings a light breakfast for two to over £25.00!

    The staff were friendly and helpful as always. We have stayed here many times - it is an oasis in Luton.
