I and my friend stayed here for two nights from 1st May. We stayed here last year at about the same time. The hotel is comfortable and very clean. The reviewer who thought the beds were hard should visit Thailand... Breakfast was ample, being clearly indicated as 'Continental', so you can hardly expect a 'Full English'. There was no WiFi... more

The double rooms I had booked each had a sofa which was an addition to most hotels. I can't complain about the hotel, however I do feel that it's very expensive for what you get. If you shop around you can get a far better standard of hotel for the same sort of price. Location was really good, very easy... more

Stayed here for two nights after a week elsewhere in England. Just needed a place to sleep after a little sightseeing in London. This hotel fit the bill perfectly. Room was clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was a plus, not great but enough to get going in the morning. Free wifi in the room was a bonus I hadn't... more

My wife and and I and 11 and 12 year old stayed at the Express By Holiday Inn London -- Southwark. We booked our room in a hotel that was represented as a 3 star hotel by a major on-line travel website. In my opinion, that rating is too high. The hotel has some definite pluses. The rooms are clean,... more

Stayed here for one night and it's a typical HIE - clean rooms, breakfast included, and helpful staff. Good location for everything on the South Bank, 5 minutes from the London eye, and a nice walk up to the Tower. Rooms are clean, airconditioned with tea / coffee and shower rooms (no baths). 5 minutes walk from Southwark tube. more

I chose this holiday inn as I knew Southwark well and it offered triple rooms, which suited our group (there were 3 of us). Unfortunately as young female travellers (aged 18-21) we were not treated with the respect we deserved. It's true what others are saying; staff are indeed rude. We were accosted coming in again (at 10pm mind, hardly... more

Stayed here with husband and 2 teenage children in one room. Plenty big enough and cheap with breakfast included, the reason we chose an Express. Friendly and helpful staff, very clean, room a bit warm, but our main complaint was the noise. Coming from a village with no night noise, the road 2 floors down kept me and my daughter... more

I stayed here in February for one night for work. When I checked in the receptionist was very friendly. When I asked about room service she said that they didn't have their own. However she gave me a selection of take away menus with recommendations and told me she would phone up and order for me if I rang down... more

The room was ridiculously hot despite the heating being turned off. Did not get a great night's sleep, although the bed was pretty comfortable. Staff didn't seem to be too bothered when I told them about the heating, but were pretty friendly in general. The room was overtly clean but felt a bit grubby and tired. The lift was slow... more
