What guests think

OYO The Chiltern Hotel draws mixed feedback, with travelers appreciating easy parking, convenient access for Luton flights, and some clean, comfortable rooms, while others report dated interiors, maintenance faults, inconsistent cleanliness, limited on-site amenities, and occasional noise or service lapses.

Several guests also mention long-term residents staying at the property, which affected the atmosphere for some. Best suited to short, practical stays focused on airport convenience rather than full amenities or polish.

I book hotels that have a gym which this one said it did, on arrival I was told they don’t have a gym, I had to order food from outside. The furniture in the room looked ready for the tip they had a desk but no chair to sit at the desk. I was ready to walk out and book elsewhere but your policy on booking was non refundable. Disgrace!!!!

Room very clean, bed comfortable. Good facilities, very warm. Rather noisy at night as room was at the front with a very busy road outside. We had a very good stay and would consider coming again!

Unclean, smelt profusely bad and no facilities was usable. Very disappointed in the hotel as online it appeared exquisite. Could not get a drink or a meal. All closed when i returned from the hospital at 9pm No staff around. The double bed was 2 singles pushed together. The bedding was soiled and also the towels. The hotel smelt very foisty

Check in was really easy as front desk is staffed. Corridors on the way to the room I did notice quite a few bleach stains on the carpets, but the room itself was clean. Close by places to eat and a bar downstairs. Parking for the night of our stay and also able to leave the car there for the duration of the holiday but paying a small fee which was really convenient.

Was only staying for a quick cheap stop on the way to London for a late check in and early start. Disappointed as the bar closes at 7 and that was one of the factors we decided to stay as we could just pop the bar when checking in for a quick drink before heading to bed for the early start. Price reflected hotel, room and decor but suited what we needed bar the bar being closed which was expected to be open.

We had two rooms and it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had in a hotel. Had to be moved multiple times because tv didn’t work. Then the new room had hairs all over the bed. Faeces on the bath towel and for some reason around the window. It felt extremely unsafe and was confirmed the council are also housing people there. The windows wouldn’t close. Because of the cleanliness I couldn’t even have a tea I’m the morning and had to stand there for an hour naked drip drying because of the towels were covered in faeces. Hotel confirmed this was disgusting and would refund. but now no one is taking accountability and I still don’t have the refund.

Really noisy neighbours (other guests). Not sure if this is a migrant hotel, but the guests were not very considerate, didn’t speak or understand English and were quite rude tbh. Stayed here for 2x 4 nights visits and will definitely NOT be staying again when in the area!!

We booked to stay as we had a very early morning flight to Italy from Luton airport. Our flight was changed against our knowledge and wishes to another day, also to an early morning flight and the hotel refused to change our booking for a different day. We left the Uk earlier then expected so we’re not in the UK to use the room on the originally booked date that they would not refund or change the date even for a extra fee so we lost the price of the room and had to book and pay for another hotel as we were not giving this hotel any more money for the night before we did actually fly. Very bad service waste of money would never book again

Awful This is a grotty hotel and is used as a homeless housing placement - People have to live somewhere but this hotel shouldn’t be sold as a 3 star with restaurant and bar and there isn’t either. A bit of an experience and didn’t feel safe tbh
