| It's clean, comfortable and close to the airport - but it's the warm welcome you'll receive that will make the Days Hotel Luton somewhere you'll want to go back to. The friendly staff make you feel instantly at home - though the lovely en-suite rooms, which all have air conditioning and soundproofing, help too. You also get a discount at the health club two doors down - which is just as well. The delicious food might be reasonably priced, but it's worthy of an expensive restaurant.
