This place is always lovely to stay, unfortunately we were let down with the restaurant booking due to Easter. Having said that we were very nicely compensated and had what was a fabulous meal in the alternative restaurant. The staff are all exceptional too, the room yet again blew us away. Pure class, luxury witb beautiful surroundings. Luton Hoo is my favourite hotel.

I like the beautiful historic building and landscaped parkland. I didn't like the additional charge of £50 per night for a child bed that I wasn't informed of when I requested one. I also didn't like the fact that the pool could only be used by families with children at specific times - again I was not informed of this before I arrive. Also, the restaurant and bar closest to our room was closed throughout our stay for no apparent reason which meant we had to eat out both nights.

Thank you for your review.Information relating to charges for bed and breakfast for children and family swim times are available on our website so that these can be reviewed prior to making a reservation with us. We have two restaurants on site, one of which is closed currently however the other was available during your stay with us. Members of the hotel team would have been pleased to share this information with you or again, this information is available online.

We did have a lovely stay at Luton Hoo. We've started before and the views, staircase and dining room still takes the breath away. However it's really showing signs of wear tear now. Plus the staff, although all very friendly, clearly need some quality control. At dinner the maitre d, was clueless when it came to champagne. I asked for VC (I dont think he heard of it) but they had none. So when I asked hm to recommend one, I overheard him say to the waiter "Err is this is a good one?? Dinner was delicious. But...they forgot about broccoli and no salt and pepper on table. This was a regular occurrence. Breakfast same thing. Spa is also fab. But if you are going to call yourself 5 star, these little make all the difference. Trust me im in the service industry.

Beautiful building and terrible restaurant
Beautiful building with a lot of history. Dinner it was terrible, we had a crab linguine that was all mashed, unbelievable presentation, it looks like a dog food from a can, and we also had a caesar salad, but the chicken was totally bland with no salt al all, sauce was not caesar salad sauce, it was some oil, and the bread croutons were so hard and oily, impossible to eat. The wine glass on the table was dirty. Cocktails were like a 5 year old child made them, I was shocked. The bartender was very nice, we met him later on, I just think he was not properly trained and he didn’t know what to do or how to do, or the hotel is not looking after the quality level. The feeling that we had that the hotel management is relaying on the history of the place and ignoring the quality. It is riding high on its historical events. Spa area is nice, beautiful roof, but is outside the hotel building and they provide a transfer.

Everything spot on !
Reception and check in was quick despite a wedding party seemingly taking over the main house. Staff friendly, efficient and polite. Our room was in a building a short walk / drive away with its own parking. The room was huge, clean and comfortable, with a good size ensuite with both bath, shower and twin basins. Temperature control was good too. The only thing lacking in the room was a USB charging point but I could manage a night without. Dinner in the Adam’s Brasserie - lovey starters, steaks cooked to perfection and friendly polite service (thank you Cole !) All in all a lovely place to stay

First of all it’s a beautiful old property with lovely grounds. Clearly at some point in time it was a fantastic mansion house however it’s now in desperate need of renovation or very least some paint, new furniture and TLC. The whole building is tired, our room was huge however really needed a deep clean and a good paint - everything in there from the iron, to the bathroom is dated. The staff are very friendly and do the best they can I’m sure. Would like to see the property bought back to its former glory… It’s convenient to Luton airport set in lovely grounds and given there is not tons around we would probably stat again but put some money back into this property and it would be much appreciated but all I’m sure who stay there.

Overall enjoyed our short group break. Staff were friendly polite but on few ocassion hard to get hold off staff via in room telephone and their normal phone line. Breakfast service was good, would have liked to have visited their restaurants more for conveniance and better experience but due to limited dietary choices we drove out to nearby restaurants on some days

To say the Luton Hoo was disappointing is an understatement. Our room in the Mansion House was very nice, with a balcony overlooking the grounds - which unfortunately we were unable to enjoy due to the weather (not the hotel's fault, of course). But the restaurant...Oh, the restaurant! The Werner Restaurant was closed (evidently it is just closed on Mondays), so we dined in Adams Brasserie...very disappointing! My husband and I dined with another couple. Both of the men in our group are former chefs at Luton Hoo. The two women had the halibut, and it was truly excellent. The men's meals were another story, however. My husband ordered a steak "medium rare," and it was terribly overcooked - well-done, even. He sent it back, and it came out overcooked *again.* He would have sent it back again had we not had guests with us! Our male guest ordered Bang Bang Chicken, which he said was dry and tough and fairly tasteless. Breakfast the next morning in the Werner Restaurant was absolutely nothing special and grossly overpriced for what it was. My husband was highly disappointed, as (he says) it used to be *very* grand. It seems to have gone downhill in the last few years.
