We arrived at Luton airport late at night, picked up a rental car and made our way to the Leaside arriving after 1 am. This is in no way a standard hotel. Our room had a lot of character, the bed was comfortable, the heating was good. In the morning we easily found the lovely breakfast room and a fantastic... More

The staff here were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was OK; I had booked a "luxury double" but the only difference was that it had a great bath in it. I was quite disappointed with the tv - I read that there were "flat screen tvs" in each room - but it must have been a 15" screen which... More

Stayed here for 1 night as I was attending an event at Putteridge Bury Conference Centre which is a 10 minute drive away. On the hotel website they describe themselves as a ‘contemporary boutique hotel’. I wouldn’t use either of these words when talking about the The Leaside. I don’t know if they subscribe to a star rating but I’d... More

Great place, clean rooms, friendly staff and around a 10 minute walk in to the town centre, where there's plenty of places to eat etc. It was about a 7-8 minute walk from Luton train station and about £15 in a taxi to the airport. Great place for a stopover. Lovely outdoor seating too, made nicer with a glass of... More

I would loved to have spent my wedding night at this hotel but due to no one answering the phone and trying to book it "too far in advance" I was told that all the rooms were suddenly gone 5 minutes before I rang. Which isn't even convincing. After having rung them in total about 7 times waaaay in advance... More

My family's stay there for 2 nights in August 2011 has left very mixed feelings. What I have rated as poor is not a hotel per se but our stay there. It might well be that what we identified as problems during our stay are of no importance to some but matters a lot more to others as they did... More
