Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

My husband and I stayed here on Saturday night. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond. The hotel was immaculate and I could find no fault with this hotel. The views from our room over the downs were so lovely and I would highly recommend this hotel in Epsom for its great location. Thank you again for a lovely stay

Hotel's Favourite
The location of the hotel was excellent. Hotel was clean and tidy, staff were very courteous on arrival. We had a few drinks in the bar after the racing, and also had a great breakfast. Although it was a very busy day the car park attendants were very well organised and access into the car park and hotel was faultless. We done Team Holiday Inn Epsom. I will definitely recommend this hotel, to friends.

My Room key deactivated 4 times over the period of a two night stay and the make staff on reception were extremely hostile when I asked them to reactivate - like it was a massive pain for them. Very poor breakfast. Horrible pillows and a never ending toiler sistern.

Dear Christoferson3rd, Thank you for taking time to submit your review, we are sorry to hear that you felt your stay with us was only worth a 1/5 rating. I am sure you can see that this is not the standard for our property and I assure you that we do take all guest feedback seriously. Unfortunately key cards are sensitive to magnets and can deactivate if placed near bank cards, mobile phones or some other electronic devices. The staff are aware of this and how frustrating it can be. We have a planned upgrade of our key card system next month. We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy our complimentary Express Start breakfast with 6 hot items which is standard for an Express property. Our pillows were all replaced in October with IHG brand approved hotel quality and we often have guests requesting to purchase them. I have asked maintenance to investigate the cistern in the room and we will ensure it is repaired as required. Thanks again for your feedback. Do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further assistance. Tammy - Deputy GM

The staff here are very professional and friendly. The breakfasts very good with good quality bacon, sausages etc. We had a quiet room looking out over the gallops with a good shower, comfortable bed and warm. It suited our needs and we would stay again.

Fast and efficient response when enquiring on Booking.com re fridges in rooms. There aren’t any but they offered refrigeration overnight in the kitchen which was just perfect! A very warm and friendly welcome on arrival with good advice to eat the Rubbing House - a few minutes walk away. The night manager Pearly should be awarded for the best customer service and follow up! We had a query which she promptly answered and on our return to our room later, she called to ensure all was in order. Delicious breakfast too. Well done Holiday Inn Express and Pearly! Thank you for an outstanding stay.

My third stay at this hotel whilst working in the area and I like the consistently high standards of cleanliness, friendly staff and an excellent choice at breakfast. I will definitely rebook when revisiting the area for work. Thank you for taking my request for a top floor, quieter room into account. Love the racing references and the views across the Racecourse and Downs.

Stayed here on business. Large car park. Quick check in and friendly staff on the front desk. Rooms are what you would expect at a budget hotel and cleaned to a good standard. Although I didn’t have breakfast the buffet / selection looked ok too. Good location right next to Epsom Downs and some pubs/ restaurants easily accessible.

Staff were not welcoming or warm on arrival and the room was fine, but a bit faded and smelled a little stale - though it did seem clean. The restaurant is across the road from the hotel and was not great. As a solo traveller I was seated in a really bleak spot which offered no view or sense of real hospitality, so I left before eating. Serviceable if you want something cheap(ish) and functional, but don’t expect too much.

Dear Meh, So sorry that we did not meet up to your expectations and that you were not satisfied during your stay with us. It seems the pub was not up to scratch either which is such a shame as usually spot on. Thank you for giving us a try. Kind regards Front Office
