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.

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

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

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.

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.

Is this a 4 star property? Very dated and run down

Terrible! Curtains all closed downstairs. No food or drinks available. Only 2 bulbs working in the bathroom and 1 was flashing on and off. The shower head was broken and only two out of the 20 parts filtering water were working. The temperature outside was 25 degrees yet the hotel still had the heating piping out and it was a ridiculous temperature inside the hotel itself. It was impossible to sleep.
The hotel was housing immigrants and they were cooking food for themselves inside the hotel.
It was a terrible experience and would never visit again!

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!

Former asylum seekers hotel, outsourced to the home office. I wish it all the best to get it back on it’s feet. I’m glad i brought my noise cancelling headphones (thin walls) and the bar & restaurant were closed. The shower was good, that was the only positive.

The hotel is in poor condition. My room was 'tired' and the tv didnt work. Phone point broken, damage from previous visitors and black fragments in the cold tap water. Such a shame as it used to be lovely.

Nice property - it was unfortunate that due to the major cancellations at Luton airport there was a long wait for check-in but this was, I imagine, exceptional. Nice small hotel, friendly staff and good choice for breakfast.

Nice room for a quick stop over. Breakfast was fine and the staff seemed nice but not really in there long enough to judge more than that.

Friendly and helpful staff, the location was decent and the accomodation lovely. The food on offer was great. Only complaint was the thin walls, we could hear a lot of what was going on in the next room, and our baby woke the baby in the room next door durng the night...
