Top ZSL Whipsnade Zoo Hotel Reviews

Thistle Express London Luton

8/10 Good

"Rooms were small but clean. Hotel entrance is not necessarily easiest to find but staff were lovely. This is not a hotel for first dates but certainly a suitable option for a short stay or a cheaper overnight accommodation alternative to pricier Luton airport hotels"

Old Palace Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. We had a large groom that was in good repair. Overall the hotel Still looks tired but the staff a friendly and helpful. It was short one night stay and was a good price. Nothing to complain about. The staff at breakfast seemed like they didn’t expect us as not everything was ready but they made sure that we got everything we needed."

OYO The Chiltern Hotel

Highwayman Hotel By Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for an overnight flying from early doors the next day. A couple of electric chargers in the car park, first come first serve though, so don't rely on getting a space."

Holiday Inn Express Dunstable by IHG

8/10 Good

"The breakfast should include non pork meat items for non pork eaters."

Pendley Manor

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great"

The Pheasant Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff are very helpful and polite and the free parking is a bonus. The room was clean and had a very nice ensuite. I had the cooked breakfast and it looked and tasted good. It is a pub so music is played during the evening. You can hear it in the room but it turned of before too late. It's only 10 minutes easy drive to the hospital. This is why we booked it and would use again."

Luton Hotel
