Holiday Inn Express

Express by Holiday Inn, Bugsby Way, Greenwich, London, SE10 0GD I stayed at this Greenwich hotel this Christmas and was drawn to it because of its cheap price for quality rooms. I booked through hoteldirect.co.uk. The location of the hotel is excellent. Although the area around it is not very aesthetically pleasing, it is close to the O2 arena and a local retail park which was great for my holiday, yet it is far away from central London so not busy.The hotel is near the Blackwell Tunnel and I was anxious about there being a lot of noise at night, but this was not the case. From the hotel you can see many great things such as the O2 and Canary ...  Read the complete review

The weather in this country seems to take great offence at the thought of me travelling. If it is not snow when I am on the train, then it?s a hailstorm whilst I am driving down the A1 or seasickness-inducing winds when I am on boats. Last month ? after I demonstrated my impeccable sense of timing by finding an exhibition I needed to visit for my research just days before it finished ? I was facing a long journey at short notice to Torfaen (The County Formerly Known As Gwent). The weather seemed almost to rub its hand together in glee at the thought of me spending 6 long hours on various trains, and ...  Read the complete review

Last summer we didn't get a chance to go away on a proper holiday, but we did manage to get a couple of breaks, two nights in Dublin and 3 nights in Edinburgh, both of which were really appreciated. The Holiday Inn I will be reviewing is the Edinburgh City Centre hotel, in Picardy Place, Edinburgh. We booked this online via the Holiday Inn Express (HIExpress) website at a cost of £89 a night for the two of use. We thought this was a fair price, considering the central location of the hotel and the time we booked (last day of August/beginning of September) which meant we were there for the last day of the Edinburgh Festival. The hotel is located to ...  Read the complete review

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Burnley. This was part of a competition prize so my accomodation, evening meal and breakfast was all included. It was originally supposed to be for 2 nights for 2 people, however due to the short notice of being advised as a winner, I was unable to arrange childcare and so asked if it was possible to change it to 1 night for 2 adults and 2 children instead. I recieved a very fast response advising me that this was no problem whatsoever and I replied also asking if it was possible for them to attach a copy of their menu for me also. Again, I recieved this back very fast within the hour, so immediately was very impressed with ...  Read the complete review

Express by Holiday Inn is my first choice when looking for an overnight hotel stay, or weekend away. This is because they offer good value for money, and although they are the budget off-shoot of Holiday Inn, I actually think having stayed in both, that they are much better, as the hotels are all modern (some Holiday Inns are a bit dated now) and Continental Breakfast is included in the cost of your stay. I have often stayed in Premier Inns which I have also enjoyed but these are always my first choice due to value for money. Express by Holiday Inn have hotels all over the UK, (I shall tell you a bit about some I have stayed in later) and the best way to ...  Read the complete review
