What guests think

At Holiday Inn London Luton Airport by IHG, travellers highlight a very convenient walkable location for early flights and consistently friendly staff, alongside generally clean, functional rooms, while recurring drawbacks include unreliable heating or air conditioning and occasional housekeeping lapses.

Rooms vary from spacious and quiet to small, with some guests noting hard or sagging mattresses, a bright safety light, or noise through adjoining doors. Breakfast starts very early and is often praised, though dinner quality and choice are mixed and some felt prices or billing policies were poor value. Facilities include an on-site restaurant and bar and a small gym, while parking is paid and tight, and walks from the rail station can involve busy roads. Overall, expect a practical, no‑frills stopover before or after a flight.

Good Stay , perfect for airport , good value for money . Very clean, staff friendly. Not quite as good as other holiday inns , in terms of room facilities, bathrooms aren’t very modern and pillows weren’t great. Perfect for airport , only short walk to terminal. Good also if you want to leave your car for a few days whilst you’re away.

Good value airport hotel for Luton. It does the job but with no frills, which for the price is entirely fair. Not the closest hotel to the airport, and despite stating it’s in walking distance you’ll need to drive or travel by taxi to/from the train station or use the (not so frequent) bus service that links Luton Parkway station and the Airport. Bus stop is outside the hotel grounds on a busy road (can pay contactless). We booked an upgraded family room, room only. What we got was a very small double bedroom with a couch made into a 2nd double. It was one of the smallest hotel double rooms I’ve ever been in. It was however warm, clean, quiet and safe. The tiny bathroom had what it needed. Can’t comment on the restaurant - had dinner before we arrived and, for an airport hotel, breakfast start times don’t start until relatively late. If you need a clean, safe, cheap option for a pre-flight stopover it’s fine. It has significantly better reviews than its sister hotel that’s supposedly a higher class.

The staff was friendly and welcoming at check-in at 10 PM, but the room was cold upon arrival, and the heating system wasn’t working. A portable heater was already in the room, which probably wasn’t a coincidence. The shower was clean, and the bed was comfortable, but an extra duvet would have been great since the heating didn’t work as expected.

Deep disappointment with the quality of our stay. Upon our arrival, we were dismayed to discover that the bedsheet in our room was visibly soiled with black marks, leaving us with serious doubts about its cleanliness and whether it was even new. This issue raised immediate concerns about the overall hygiene and standards of the room.

In general everything was good; the bed mattress in particular was extremely comfortable. Problems were: the bedside lights didn't work, which was minor, but more annoying was some sort of green safety light above the door, which stayed on all night, disturbing sleep. Horrid!

After paying for our stay well in advance, we returned from Gran Canaria (midnight) to be told our room was not available and we could not be accommodated. There was no communication to let us know this was the case, eg email or telephone, so to arrive to this mess was shocking. Having travelled 8 hours from Scotland and returning the next day, we were absolutely furious and very upset and the situation we were left in. The night manager who we spoke to said he had "no idea" regarding our situation claiming there was no handover to inform him which whether true or untrue is completely unacceptable. This experience left a bitter end to our holiday to say the least and has ended any faith we had in using Holiday Inn hotels the future.

The waiter serving us at dinner on 8th December was brilliant with our children, my ASD son adored him. The lady working on reception the evening of 8th December is lacking in hotel knowledge as she told us breakfast the following day would be served until 10.30am (we arrived at 10 to be told they were putting the breakfast foods away, but the lady there took pity on us and kept some food out). The ladt from the previous evening aslo told us we could check out at 2pm or pay £10 per hour to stay later. Thankfully after the breakfast debacle i checked this with someone else to be told if we stayed later than 2, we would have to pay for a whole extra night's stay!

Good quality food that didn’t cost the earth. Kids eat free which is great. They have a cupboard with games and puzzles which is a nice touch. Check out was easy even at 4:30 am. A guy asked us if we wanted a hot drink to take with us which was a nice touch. Would use the hotel again for sure.

Had issues from games and misleading advertising on Google and the hotels website. 24hr room service with full English breakfast is not something that this hotel does. Hot breakfast is only available from 5:30am in the restaurant and on room service. I spoke with the shift manager and the general manager regarding the issues during both our stays. Issues from staff not available to open the main door to the phone system and Aircon units not working to errors with non delivery of ordered breakfast and errors with the breakfast items provided were discussed. The hotel agreed to refund the cost of the latest stay and will remove the website from Google which shows the wrong details which are false and misleading.

This was a one-night stay due to an early flight, having spent 10 comfortable days in a hotel in East London. When I arrived at the train station I had an episode of SVT so had to spend two hours in hospital with a heartrate of 205, so this may cloud my judgement. When I tried to get an Uber to go to the hospital, the Uber app would not recognise the hotel's address and the receptionist was of little help. I had to walk to the nearby Holiday Inn Express hotel to get my Uber to Luton hospital. Actually, on Expedia, I reserved this hotel in error - I thought I was headed for Hampton by Hilton. This is a rather tired hotel and the rooms are certainly very tired. At first I was put in an 'accessible' room which was even more depressing. I didn't ask for accessible, but thought I was booking a 'bigger' room. I ordered a soup and Indonesian-style chicken curry. The soup was fine but the curry I only ate a third of due to the flavouring. The only two positive points for this hotel are (i) that I always carry an HDMI cable with me to connect my laptop to the TV and, unlike many other hotels, where there is a lot of fiddling and programming to do, it worked quickly; (ii) it is convenient for the airport scheduled bus. Overall, I can't recommend (even if I overlook my particular circumstances). This hotel needs top-to-bottom refreshing but I suspect it is not a priority for the Holiday Inn/IHG chain so they will 'sweat' the assets to maximise profit.

Overnighting so could catch early flight the next day. All facilities clean and comfortable. Didn't realise my room rate included breakfast. Continental buffet is from 03.30 with cooked items from 05.30. Takeaway cups provided so you can take your hot drink with you as you walk to the airport. Probably ten/fifteen minutes walk depending on how much luggage you're dragging. It's left out the hotel, up the hill, past the other Holiday Inn and follow the stream of folk. It can get very busy with cars and buses heading to the airport so in my experience it's often less stressful simply just to walk to the terminal. By the way we arrived the night before by train at Luton Airport Parkway. I had checked out online the walk from the station to the hotel. It's just under twenty minutes but it's not a pleasant walk. You go past the Vauxhall factory; up to a roundabout where the choice is either up and over a pedestrian footbridge or taking your chance walking across a fairly busy road. Then it's walking uphill on a pavement past lots of bushy undergrowth. Not recommended on your own in the evening. Better to get either a taxi from the station to the hotel or go into Luton on the train and get a bus out.
