Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Harley52 Good location
It's well located for the theatres and the Christmas markets on the south bank, when they are on. Staff are always friendly. Tube station not far away. Stayed here before and will again, many thanks.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by LaurieA Front Desk Staff were Awesome
We had great service, advice and help during our 8 night stay.
We especially enjoyed the assistance from and interaction with Georgia. She (and the others) helped us find our way around, recommended restaurants and saved us some $$ by suggesting transportations options. Thank you all very much.
Merry Christmas and we hope to back some day.
Cheers!

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by ChrisO2 Great location in Southwark
Stayed here for 2 nights when visiting the O2 for a gig. Chosen because it's fairly central (easy walking distance from the Millenium Bridge, Tate Modern and Globe) whilst still being a very easy journey by tube from the O2 (Jubilee line with no changes) and a short walk from Southwark tube station.
It's a typical Holiday Inn Express so we knew what we were getting, and although on the front of the hotel the room was quiet thanks to the secondary glazing. There was a limited choice of cereal, fruit and yoghurt for breakfast but baked beans, sausages and scrambled egg were available so you could make yourself beans on toast if the rest didn't appeal.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by seanios01 Worst Bed Ever!
Hotel is in a grest position for exploring London and is minutes from the Tate Modern.
Hotel is spotlessly clean and staff were friendly.
One major drawback however....this was the most un- corfortable bed I have slept in ever.
When I mentioned this at reception in the morning the staff did not appear interested which was a shame as they were very frindly smiley people.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by chenghn82 Free WiFi in room
In general, the stay in Holiday Inn Express Southwark is a positive experience. Not too far from Metro station, and quite easy to locate.
The room cleaniness and comfort is meeting expectation, except there is no wired Ethernet in the room.
Even though there is WiFi in the room, but it is not free. The charges per-day-use is way too high at 12.50 pound as compared to BT Fon, at only 5.00 pound.
"Encouraging" customer to go down to lobby area to use the free WiFi is not projecting a right image of Holiday Inn. I have been to Holiday Inn Express in Asia, and free WiFi is very key in selecting the right hotel to stay.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Goldy Don't use room 602
The room itself is lovely, however the radiator in the room was tapping in a rhythmic pattern from around 3am, meaning I had one of the worst nights sleep I've ever had in a hotel.
I was told I'd have some Priority Points added to my account so that I could have another night of hopefully better sleep but as yet it appears that they're not there (I think, looking at the last couple of stays it seems they've not been added anyway)
In short, I wish I could say I had a relaxing night here but alas I didn't

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by duthie warm welcome at good location hotel
The breakfast choice at this Holiday Inn Express is poor. At our 3 breakfasts only fresh fruit was sad looking oranges,there was no natural yogurt or cheese. One morning there was no coffee in the machine.
On the plus side the staff were very quick at clearing the tables.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by NullAnneVoid Very comfortable, too comfortable.....
Nothing bad to say about this hotel, no queues at check in which is usually a bugbear with me for other hotel chains, staff were friendly, room clean and cosy. Not cutting back to the bare minimum of supplies and taking away phone like a certain otehr chain. Only downside was stopping out until 5am clubbing which meant I slept all through breakfast which i was miffed about but its my own stupid fault realy so I'll give you a 5/5 for breakfast even though I didnt make it but based on my previous experience of your breakfasts and the fact that you actually include it in the price instead of ripping customers off charging extra im sure its deserved. Also at other chains I have had loud noises such as cleaning, broken lifts, deliveries etc disturbing me throughout the morning but I was left in peace to deal with my hangover and the staff werent stroppy about us being a bit late for checkout. Only one slight gripe, my friend bought a carton of ribena and was charged about £1.30 which is a bit ridiculous. Great location too about 10 mins walk from Tower Bridge staion and 5 minutes from shops and amenities, Tower and its touristy area is in within 15 mins walking distance too.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Vipin1955 Excellent service from general manager Mr.Wilson and his staff
We enjoyed staying at the Southwork Holiday Inn express hotel. The location is good;although room can be crowded for 2-3 people. The staff provided excellent service and Mr.Wilson,.Franscesco,Mr.Charley were amazing persons.
Suggestion for rotating breakfast menu instead of keeping same items all the time.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Legend Very convenient
Very accessible to our needs - theatre, attractions etc.
Staff very friendly on arrival making a great fuss of granddaughter (which she loved) and also very helpful on the occasion when I rang before arriving enquiring about distances to the theatre etc.
The dining area for breakfast is the only thing I would say let this hotel down but the staff were extemely helpful when my husband asked if we could take breakfast to our room as the granddaughter was still asleep!

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Tighthead Staff excellent....Breakfast...a scrum!!
Couldn't have been more happy with the politeness of the friendly staff - the bedroom and bathroom were clean which is all I want from the room after a days sightseeing and catching up with friends in London. However, the breakfast was a disaster...as everyone seem to come at once meaning long waits for a table with nobody in a rush to eat up (rightly so...why should they) and the food when we did sit down was just warm after trying to get through waiting visitors to get to the small food counter.....reminded me of my propping days on a Saturday afternoon - but without the shorts and a gumshield!!!

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by BBVisitor Good location for in and around Blackfriars area.
Staff are always helpful and welcoming.
Good central location for Blackfriars and south of Thames area.
Last 2 visits was distrurbed by building works nearby, generator and alarms very late at night and until 2am at rear of hotel
Not the hotels fault. Best to ask for a room overlooking front of hotel.
Bathroom decor can be a bit tired in some rooms.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by BonnieG Warm, friendly helpful staff made us feel at home.
The front desk staff made our stay feel like a second home. We would especially like to thank Jennifer, Elena, Edwin and Elisabet. We had planned to transfer to another hotel during our time in London, but cancelled that reservation and extended our stay at the Holiday Inn Express because of the friendly, helpful staff. We also enjoyed the open, airy comfortable lobby which provided free wifi and a good hearty breakfast each morning. The friendly ambience also extended to the staff serving breakfast, as well as the maids cleaning the rooms. The hotel's location in Southwark suited our needs as well, as it is convenient to bus transportation and only a short walk to the tube station. It's also only about a 10-15 minute walk to the London Bridge area and the wonderful Borough Market. We will definitely stay there again on our return to London.

Good, average hotel without a "homey" feel though. Great location for the City where I had business.
The services I needed were provided. Nice restaurants in the near area and good pubs. The breakfast could have a greater variety but the late night bar was very nice as we were some travelling together.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by IvaRopati great location
hotel is clean and tidy. the location is awesome. the hot breakfast was a great surprise. I think most express only do cold so pleased that this one had facility. two main negatives, first was an irritating hum from outside my window, think it was the florescent lighting and the second was the TV...still the old style rather than the flat screen LCD or similar. Always annoyed at hotels that have not upgraded.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by head69 Been past, but never been in
I have been past the Holiday in Express many a time, but had never had a reason to stay till I got married and had to spend my penultimate night before the big day away from my Flat.
What a wonderful hotel. Brilliant rooms, with awesome views, great friendly and quick service, cheap price, taxis always availible and in the middle of Zone 1 in between London Brige and Waterloo with the river and tate modern a 5 minute walk away. TUMBS UP!!! Will definetly stay again. Thanks

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by BZW48 Excellent Service and a Great Location
Hotel is a great place to base your trip to London. Its only a 5 min walk to the river bus or underground.
The room was spotlessly clean and was quieter than I was expecting for an Express hotel. Only one minor gripe about the room - the lighting - some fittings had been replaced by energy saving lamps, leaving the overall lighting level quite dim.
The most positive aspect of my stay was the staff, they were very helpful and would "go the extra mile" to help. Thank you Edwin for managing to flag down a taxi in the pouring rain!

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Beerwulf Lots of road noise
I had a room overlooking the road. I could barely sleep due to traffic noise from outside, and lack of sound-proofing on the windows.
The coffee machine was broken at breakfast time, but the rest of the selection was good.
The elevator was small, but the staircase was nice.
The staff were helpful, but fitting sound-proofing isn't really the receptionist's job!
