Not the best holiday inn express

Car park spaces were barely wide enough for a small car and guests were expected to pay £12 for the privilege of parking there. (The station car park a short walk away is a far better option) Even though the room was pre paid the hotel wanted a credit card as a Garrentee against damage because the hotel was booked through Hotels. Com. (I refused )

Little problems but nice stay overall

The hotel is new-ish and in very nice condition. I experienced several small niggles during my stay including an inoperable safe, spoiled toiletries and confusion about the need for housekeeping. Although it took too long to correct these issues, management did correct them in the end and we had a reasonably good stay. The hotel is within an easy few minutes drive of Stonehenge and the charming little town of Salisbury. The on-site restaurant is pretty good and there are fast food options nearby as well.

The stat was good. Although the hotel could do with some renovation as it was looking very dated. The sink in the bathroom was broken and the ac was very noisy.

Superb stay in great location.

Lovely stay at this hotel. Very easy and pleasant check in, staff very polite. Absolutely ideal location, close to railway station and Harry Potter shuttle bus stop. Our room was spotlessly clean, beds and pillows very comfortable. Superb breakfast with great chose. Close to railway line but the windows kept out the noise.

Perfect hotel for London trip

Excellent stay. Used as a base for Wembley concert and trip to London West End. Great location to get to everywhere we needed to go and Watford itself has plenty to do. Hotel was perfect for what we needed, staff were excellent and complementary breakfast was very good.

Holiday Inn Impressed!!!!

Wow!!! What else can I say?? This was me and my partner's first time in Watford, and we were super impressed. All the staff were amazing, welcoming, and friendly, but a big shout-out to Siead (sorry if I spelled your name wrong). This guy went above and beyond to help and make sure we were both happy with the service. The breakfast was amazing, with lots of different food to choose from, and a fry-up was the obvious choice. The room was just a standard room with working air conditioning, and it beat our expectations. Overall, we were extremely impressed and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, and we'd definitely return.

I had a fantastic stay at this Holiday Inn Express! The location of the hotel is really convenient as it’s located a (less than) 5 minute walk from Watford Junction station, and there were plenty of unique food options in/around the area. :) The bed was comfy and got a great night of sleep; was a little difficult to adjust the temp of the room but was all fine once I managed to figure that out. The staff in particular really enhanced my stay; they were all so friendly and accommodating and happy to help with absolutely anything I needed.
