What a dreadful experience. It may be cheap but for what its offers it needs to be much much cheaper. My tiny, dingy room stank of cigarette smoke (no non smoking rooms available). The staff were rubbish and the breakfast buffet had been cleaned out of food long before we arrived. The neighbourhood is full of bars and the streets... more

Never Again I chose this hotel because of its strategic location. After check in , they kindly put me in the second floor facing the Old Street. All through the night, a Friday night, I could hear groups of drunken people passing by and almost seemed like I was at the middle of an International Drunken Festival. In addition to... more

Room was very clean & small by US standards,but ok size. Staff very helpful. Continental brkfast convenient, but same thing every day. Lobby had AC... more

We booked this trip through Hotwire, as a 3-star hotel in the financial district. It is neither. The restaurant is like a high school cafeteria. It is way up north - nearest tube stop is Old Street. Rooms are tiny - there are no dressers or drawers at all. It is in a slumlike area. Graffiti on neighboring buildings. more

Thank you for your comments and review. I am sorry to read that you did not like the hotel location. As you know we are situated in Old Street in the City of London; the hotel is ideally located for business guests as we are in the City of London and just minutes walk from the financial district. I am...

Twin room for £80 per night including breakfast in zone 1 - can't say fairer than that! The hotel is located a 5 minute walk from Old Street on the Northern Line and the area was noisy at night although you could hardly hear anything with the windows shut. So it would have been good to have had air con!... more

Thank you for your comments, it is always nice to hear and read when a guest has enjoyed their stay with us. Your right, we do have some fantastic rates available at the moment. With regards to air conditioning, later in the year, the hotel will be refurbishing our bedrooms and will also be looking at adding air conditioning to...

I stayed here before and it was tired, the reception, bar and breakfast area have been transformed - it made all the difference. Breakfast was better than most, location was great and we were able to travel easily to the local areas. The rooms could do with an update, to keep in line with the pubic areas. The staff were... more

Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind comments. We have had a full refurbishment of our public areas of the hotel over the past 18 months. We took on board comments and feedback from our guests in the new design and layout of our breakfast area, and from other comments we have received this had made a big improvement in...

When so many hoiday inn express are well run and well maintained, this one is very sad and tired. The general manager's name is missing from behind the reception desk and perhaps they are hiding from the guests? The rooms whilst clean are well worn. The hotel is certainly not value for money and at over £100 per night is... more

Thank you for your comments and I am sorry to read that you did not find this trip entirely satisfactory. We have recently refurbished our lobby and reception area, you will now find the General Managers name on the wall opposite the reception desk, along with all the other hotels notices. I appreciate your comments about my staff, and will...

OK - the Holiday Inn Express is clearly a hotel aimed at Business Travellers so you can't expect the normal frills one would expect with a holiday hotel. 'Functional' is a very apt word for this hotel. The room was clean, tidy and the bed was OK, but it would have been nice to have a drawer to put things... more
