Room was good, seemed all clean. Check-in was very friendly, though worth bearing in mind they put a £50 deposit hold on your card at check-in that lasts up to a couple weeks. Location is good, airport noise not as well kept out as I'd like, but not an issue at night. Only dissapointment, I requested a wake-up call which never came, so double check that if you'll really need one.

Great hotel - it is a trek outside of London and ten miles from Kings Cross but the Elizabeth Line and DLR make it accessible and convenient. Breakfast is good. Rooms comfortable clean and tidy. Some noise from the nearby airport but that’s to be expected given the location. We would stay again though it’s a bit too far out for a weekend in central London hit price drove our decision to book here as it’s far cheaper than city centre hotels. DLR is 5 minute walk away.

This is my second state at the Holiday Inn and once again it was great! Check-in was quick and easy, parking was plentiful, food and service were all excellent. I stayed in a standard double room and the room was clean and fresh. My only issue was, with it being so warm and me being situated on the third floor, the air-conditioning units on the roof were incredibly loud and kept me awake for most of the night. I understand that this is probably, unavoidable but just wanted to make anyone aware, it can get quite noisy! Despite this I will stay again, might take some earplugs next time though!

Nice hotel for stop over before a flight or use of the Excel centre. Ordered food from the bar/restaurant, lovely gentleman sever, the food sadly terrible. Breakfast was average. You get what you pay for. Cheap and cheerful, The staff are excellent. But the food lets them down.

A good hotel. Room was ready at the time of check-in, with the sofa bed all set. ample towels kept on standby. On site parking for extra charge, charged per day. A good alternative to explore London due to the DLR station next door and tube station nearby Breakfast is as always not a disappointment :)

The parking charge is high since we we were booked considering the parking was free. we had struggled with booking - although we booked two rooms, only one was showing up in the system.
