“Stay marred by restaurant staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

I stayed at this hotel with my partner for one night prior to catching an early morning flight. We were greeted by the friendly & professional Lithuanian receptionist who gave us our room card and explained the breakfast hours. Our room was clean and spacious with a large bed which was a little hard and creaky. We had dinner at the Ibis restaurant which soured our overall experience. Our food was adequate but mediocre, and the service was slow as the waitress was lazy and pretended not to notice us even though there were hardly any tables occupied. We had enough of her shoddy service so walked up and paid the bill at reception. Had our experience at the restaurant been a positive one, we would have given the hotel a higher rating as everything else was fine, and at £28 was a bargain, for a hotel that is less than 10 minutes walk to the airport.
We would stay here again if we could find a room for a similar price, but would walk over to the Holiday Inn hotel, opposite, and have dinner there instead.
Note to manager: don't bother pasting the same generic comments you post on all reviews. It does nothing to improve your hotel's image. Instead, spend time constructively by improving on the feedback received on here.

“Typical Ibis”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

When you book an Ibis hotel you know what you're in for, and the Ibis London Luton Airport is one good example of this chain. Nothing fancy, but basically what one expects to find: a comfortable place to spend the night before/after a flight.

It didn't take me more than 10 minutes to walk to the hotel from the terminal, so unless the weather's horrible or you've got lots of luggage, you can skip the shuttle bus. Once inside it's quite similar to other Ibis hotels. WiFi is only free in the lobby, and in your room if you're lucky to be not far way from the reception desk.

I had quite a nice stay, but next time I may try the Holiday Inn Express nearby.

Dear Guest,

We are really disappointed to hear about your recent stay and I have personally reviewed CCTV to spot the interaction between you and a staff member but can't find nothing. I am also surprised to know the services you have received by a receptionist did not meet your expectations as all of my staff are well trained and we ensure that high standards of good customer services are achieved. I have also shared your comments with my team to ensure we are consistent in achieving guest satisfaction but please accept my sincerest apologies for the inconvenience it caused during your stay and most of all thanks for the chance you are giving us to be better in the future.

Sincerely,

“Fairly close to the airport”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

This is by no means 'at the airport'. It's a 20 minute walk if you don't take the shuttle. Reasonably convenient.
Check in was easy enough & reception was well staffed. The room was clean, although the 'pod' bathrooms as quite strange & I wouldn't want to have been staying with anybody else. Very disturbing to have another guest walk into the room as I got changed, after the receptionist had checked them into the same room!
'Restaurant' was more like a cheap & uninviting cafe & was extremely busy, which wasn't surprising given the size of it & the lack of alternatives. The food was reasonable in the evening considering & the breakfast was as good as you could expect.
Limited bar area.
