We booked to see a matinee performance in the West End and I checked a lot of hotels in London for value for money within our budget. There wasn't a great choice. This hotel, which is barely a 5 minute walk to Watford Junction Station, appeared to be excellent value for money. We were not disappointed. Our room was not... More

I stayed for business in June and had a high floor room overlooking Watford Junction train station. Whilst not overly busy I did find the trains disturbed my sleep and I would recommend requesting a quiet room facing the other way. The hotel has some parking but not much so I was lucky to get a space. Its also not... More

Stayed as was visiting Harry Potter world. Found the staff to be excellent very helpful and friendly. Stay in many hotels wouldn't usually choose a holiday inn express for a family trip but this was much better than most I've stayed in. Rooms clean. Location great. Only negative was poor parking availability and price of bar drinks. Suggest you drink... More

Stayed here for a weekend as a base to travel into North London for The Stone Roses concert at Finsbury Park. The hotel staff were all very polite & friendly, and the hotel itself is clean & well maintained. The room was clean & comfortable - perfect for me & my friends' needs, but lacking some modern comforts someone who... More

Stayed one night. Clean place close to Watford junction station. A nice place to stay if you're going to Harry Potter studios. Clean and bed are comfy. Only thing I didnt like was the sausage served for bfast..taste blah. . For the rest 75 € a night is well worthit
