    A beautiful hotel very near to the London City Airport with all the staff very friendly and helpful. Aliya the breakfast team member was so helpful and friendly. Alp during afternoon made our stay more comfortable with his excellent behaviour and services. Highly recommend.

    Holiday inn express are a great brand for short stays. Extremely clean and comfortable rooms with a good breakfast. Thanks to Mohammad for his patient help with the pancake machine. A good stay thank you. The breakfast is self service. It was really disgusting to see people piling up food and drinks on their tables then leaving it all half eaten. The amount of food staff had to throw away was shocking. Also putting food items in their bags for later. Not the hotels fault obviously.

    We stayed for one night and definitely enjoyed our stay. The rooms were very clean, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, you have a variety of things to choose from. Special thanks to Aliya for the service and the kindness. The hotel is a little away from the centre, but you can easily access it with the DLR. The station is only 3 min (walking) away from the hotel.

    All staff were friendly and accommodating. From reception to bar staff and Aliya at breakfast was really sweet. The breakfast was really good quality too. Room was very clean but is close to an airport which would be great I'd you had a flight early the next morning but not so if you want a lie in 🤭

    The room was incredibly small with almost no space to move around. There was no wardrobe, so had to keep clothes and other items on the sofa, bed or bags, which was inconvenient. The table was tiny and the bed was extremely small and cramped —definitely not suitable for couple. What was even more frustrating was the £100 deposit, which was not mentioned clearly during the booking process. The fine print mentioned a £50 deposit, but I was charged £100 on arrival. This was misleading and unexpected, especially since the entire stay had already been prepaid. I’ve never had this experience at any other hotel. Another major issue was the shower door in bathroom. The internal glass door had no knobs, and it couldn’t be locked. This is a serious safety concern and a potential hazard, as it compromises security. On the positive side, the service was good. The housekeeping staff did a great job keeping the room tidy, and they were always friendly. The standout was Aliya at the breakfast counter, who was professional, attentive and made sure the breakfast area was always clean and well-maintained. Overall, the room was disappointing in terms of size and amenities, but the service made the stay a bit more tolerable.
