the hotel is located close to Luton Airport so convenient for an over night stay, reception is nice and staff were helpful and very friendly. the room was quiet small although sufficient for 2 people. my only major problem with this hotel is that it is far from a 4 star hotel, the bathroom was not at all clean, there... more

Thank you for posting your review of the hotel. I'm sorry you found the cleanliness to be below standard, we very rarely get this type of feedback, however had we have known you were not entirely satisfied we would have rectified this immediately. I can confirm that the hotel has been re-assed by the AA this week (the AA do...

My collegue an i took 23 people to this hotel for a oil painting holiday, and i can honestly say that the hotel and staff were fantastic. Every request made to them was always greeted with a "yes,we can do that for" . the fantastic customer care by every employee was well received by all the participants. The food was... more

When I was last here, it was a Thistle hotel. Since the last stay it is now a Best Western. Physically, the lobby has been brightened and improved. The real change, however, was staff attitude. The present staff is customer oriented. The front desk was helpful; the waiter/bartender who waited on us while we had a late supper in the... more

I have been staying at the Strathmore for some time and, therefore, had an opportunity to look closely at all customer facing areas. Having previously worked in the restaurant sector, I am critical of service levels. I have to say that I am delighted with the services levels provided by the staff at the Strathmore. There is always a friendly... more

Okay, the positives... good location, easy to find and close to the national express buses and train station. The last point is useful as after one night in this supposed 4* hotel you'll be itching (quite literally) to leave. Describing the walls as paper-thin is doing a disservice to paper. If you're a voyeur who enjoys hearing in full detail... more

Thank you for leaving us your feedback and I'm sorry that we have not met your expectations on this occasion. We have not had any negative feedback before about thin walls causing noise, but do appreciate that at the weekends we do host a number of weddings and parties, so some of our residents may be very high spirited returning...

Centrally located, though not necessarily a welcoming one (scaffolding and construction right outside at the shopping centre, and a closed-down car park attached on the other side). The rooms are tiny. We stayed twice in the space of a week. First room was slightly better than the second, in that it had an air conditioner and was better maintained. The... more

The Strathmore Luton is located right in the city centre next to the Mall Arndale. Across the street there is the Galaxy Centre where all the coaches leave. The service in the hotel was good. Nothing special but good. Breakfast in the hotel is very varied and there is even a vege menu at the breakfast. I would really recommend... more

Have stayed there twice, Single room is just that 'Single' and very small, but incredible rates and the room is spotless, and well maintained. Ate there both nights and the food was good and plentiful (Well it was a buffet!) The Breakfast is excellent. Staff very friendly. more
