Fond Memories

Had a wonderful stay here in a beautiful historic hotel a few years back as we were touring by car. It is sad to now read many of the negative reviews as they are so far out of whack with our fond memories of our stay. But I guess like anything, regression is possible without the requisite commitment to service quality.

Wedding Disaster

2.0

I got married at the Luton Hoo last year and they made what should have been a happy exciting time into one of the most stressful and frustrating times I had ever experienced, it got to the stage where I had to hire a wedding planner to ensure it all went smoothly on the day. At the time I felt leaving a review would have been a waste of time and I would never visit in my personal time or pay for the privilege anymore. However, I recently had to visit again for work and found it to be the same chaotic experience. I have been visiting the Luton Hoo for 13 years and have seen this once grand hotel turn into a generic hotel. I would imagine they will lose a star in the next year or two as they have fallen in every category from house keeping to service and amenities. Once they offered generous Molton Brown products in their bathrooms to using a generic brand, this is one example in many and these changes have been carried out throughout the hotel. Once I would have benchmarked the Luton Hoo to Stoke Park but not anymore. The new owners haven’t got a scooby doo how to manage a hotel like this one and really need to stick to running airport hotels. The same silly mistakes that were made at our wedding were made at this conference; the lady that made things very stressful completely blanked me which I thought was very professional. The only shining light at the Luton Hoo is Stephen and his team but when you are surrounded by people who constantly make mistakes then the mistakes will continue. This tired old girl deserves owners and a manager to guard and maintain the wonderful history associated with this hotel and trying to penny pinch at a 5* hotel while continuing to charge huge prices will never win any prizes.

Thank you so much to Magda, Joao and Chris for making our weekend 27/28 Sept, such great fun. From the lovely welcome greeting on check-in, Magda taking us to our Room, which was a small suite, beautiful, plasterwork, frieze and frescoes, amazing heritage decor, details and features! I hope the re-development will be sympathetic to the history and original features, like marble, windows and skirtings etc The shower was brilliant, powerful and we had an enamel roll-top bath too. Despite the looming closure for refurbishment the team, looked after us throughout, asking if all was going well etc. Chris is a font of all Luton Hoo knowledge and I could have followed him around for hours. We had a little tour of the Queen Elizabeth and Princess Zia Suites, The Romanov Chapel and the Churchill room, Chris has many anecdotes to share. The spa was great, the jacuzzi was fabulously warm and so big. The grounds and trees are stunning, lakes, Rock Garden will be brought back to life. I really do hope the current team do have the opportunity to return once the facilities are updated. I'm so pleased we had the chance to enjoy Luton Hoo as it is now and really look forward to seeing how the refurbishment goes and visiting in a few years, even to test out the new facilities before opening. Best Wishes Kiran and Paul x

I can't tell you how much I love Luton Hoo, it grounds, trees, and peace. I wish the house and the staff well over the next 3 years refurbishment. Madga, Chris and Pooja were particularly wonderful but the hotel's staff are so passionate and wonderful and it really shows. This was our 5th visit and I can't wait for our 6th. Thank you Luton Hoo team so much!
