Holiday Inn Express hotel overview and locations
Most of the Holiday Inn Express hotels are relatively modern purpose built hotels. The main exception to the rule is the Victoria Holiday Inn Express. Like all Holiday Inn Express franchise hotels you get a complementary breakfast buffet. In most London hotels this is a continental breakfast, don't expect a wide array of hot meats. Most Holiday inn Express properties are air conditioned and have free Wi-Fi.
The most central Holiday Inn Express locations are the Victoria and Southwark sites. Just outside the centre are the Holiday Inn Express Earls Court, Holiday Inn Express Swiss Cottage and Holiday Inn Express Limehouse hotels, each of these is 5 or 6 tube stops from where most people want to go. Needless to say rates are much lower for these.
The Holiday Inn Swiss Cottage seems to regularly have some of the best value rates and unlike many hotel districts is often cheaper at the weekend. The best rates for Holiday Inn Express are advanced purchase rates, often you have to book at least 30 days ahead for these.
Cheapest rates are advanced purchase rates where you pay in advance, if you want the flexibility of cancelling without penalty and paying on check out then get a flexible room rate for a supplement.
