Was a nice hotel I’m sure, but they is lots of noise from screaming kids now and no place for breakfast.

Gone drastically down hill since the last time i stayed there , the place is very dirty The room was clean enough but very tired Still housing a lot of homeless people

Fallen glory

Don’t believe the website pictures, these were taken years ago. You can see this hotel was once a 4 star hotel, beautiful building and lovely period wood paneling in the reception. Sadly, the hotel now has a a lot of permanent residents, family in the common areas and toys lying around. The restaurant is closed and now and temporary kitchen, the place is dark and dingy, with smell of food and damp in the air. Having said that, we stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms, which was very nice and well appointed but it felt like walking through Pandoras closet!
Ben, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not as fancy as it looks.

Stayed four nights. Two of those were interrupted by noise next door. Walls are very thin and it doesn't help that TV is mounted onto party wall. No air conditioning, slow or intermittent internet, soap not replenished for two days. An endless walk to the car park and exit. The room was big though.

10/10 Exceptional

Helpful Receptionists and good rooms.

Very helpful Receptionist, Kylie. Room excellent with comfy bed and TV and coffee making facilities. Parking good and close to several major Supermarkets and shops. Highly recommend
Lynne, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not a hotel

No bar, no restaurant, lift doesn’t work and full of families living in the rooms. Staff were really nice and the room was actually nice but it’s not a hotel. 90% occupied by people living in the rooms whilst awaiting being housed elsewhere. That’s fine but should not be advertised as a hotel on hotels.com!
Richard, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not a great hot

Hotel was boiling hot, room was very hot and basic, for an executive room. Just a bar of soap in the bathroom, although reception gave me a shower gel when I asked and supplied a fan for the room. Shower was awful would only adjust to boiling hot or freezing cold. Front of house staff were friendly

Cheap but poor

Cheap accommodation but decor tired. Whole hotel smelt strongly of curry. Very uncomfortable bed and poor shower. It was clean though and staff were nice

2/10 Poor

Avoid.

Appears to be used as a migrant hotel. Ver poor state of repair. It looks to have once been a good place, not any longer. Spent an hour there and drove home.
Oliver, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room size was good and clean but pretty dated. No electric points nor light switch near bed. Electric points were in odd places. Drawers in room instead of desk to sit at. Bed was comfortable enough but walls pretty thin - could here music and snoring from rooms next to me. Walk to room was pretty long and lifts out of order. Made for a tiring trip from car to room with baggage. Staff were warm and friendly.

Night before a flight

Lovely hotel, nice rooms. Shame the bar and restaurant is not open anymore as they were really nice last time we stayed

Work trip

Very nice old building I booked an upgraded room , it was super clean and had air con the shower was a rain style and it was massive , the bed was comfy and the tv was big .. although there is no food or drinks available you can literally walk round the corner to Dunstable Main Street and eat and drink what ever you want
Philip, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bar closed. Smells off curry in the corridors, doors always knocking.
A Rees, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

helpful staff very good value

staff are great and helpful the only issue i had was other family guests of a minority background letting there kids run around and bang about until quite late, but to be very fair to the staff due to an issue with my room lock (which they sorted) they did offer to move me to a different room. all i actually did was turn up the TV a little loudwer than i normally would
David, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room was dirty with toe nail clippings across the floor. Cabinets in the room were broken. No fan or air conditioning Website stated there was a gym and well maintained garden area. No gym and the garden was completely run down. Windows in the hotel were covered with sheets. Dark and smelly.
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very pleasant, recently renovated hotel in a quiet location in Dunstable. Rooms were clean and comfortable, bathroom was great. Only downside (for a recent reno) - no USBs in the room. Almost everyone carries a USB rechargeable device these days, and it's remit of hotel not to provide USB ports, and require us to carry an adaptor. Also, my room had no bedside lights whatsoever and no way to turn off the room light from the bed. Currently no food or drink on site. Though there are walkable options.

Is this a 4 star property? Very dated and run down
Gary, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t bother staying here at all!

Hotel is used for refugees and should not have paying guests there too. No restaurant or bar and apparently this isn’t important! No basic toiletries in bathroom, no drinking glasses or fridge. TV and phone didn’t work. How on earth can this be a 4 star hotel. I questioned all of these points to member of staff and received no response.
Joanne, 2-night trip

Someone walked in my room whilst I was asleep when I shouted they walked out left the light on kids we’re running around the corridor all the time making loads of noise and when I checked out early they didn’t even care the staff

4* only if you’re scoring out of 50!!!

Arrived to a beautiful setting. However, room 1 had dirty sheets (blood found on duvet). No towels. 1 worn pillow each. Room badly dated. Moved to a family room. Again, 1 pillow each. Hand towels only. 3rd floor, lift broken. Honestly a poor place to stay. Apart from a comfortable bed this place is awful!
Dated rooms
Blood on sheets
Crumpled sheets and pillow cases
