Holiday Inn Express Southwark, an IHG Hotel

The hotel is well located, it is a short walk from the bus stop and the metro is nearby too. The staff at the reception was quite courteous and understanding - we arrived at about midnight from a long trip and as one of us was sick, we were offered a late check-out. The breakfast was good and has a large variety. It is worth the money.

Beds were very comfortable and the breakfast available was excellent in quality and variety. Close to river and Blackfriars Tube ( over the river ). Staff were very friendly and obliging in every respect.

The staff was amazing, always with a smile on their faces and accommodating all the needs. The cleaning crew is doing a terrific job, as the room was always spotless. It has a great location within 10 minutes walk to the underground. The area is quiet and with a lot of restaurants nearby. There are stores across the street should you need to buy anything. You can rent umbrellas at the location for a very small amount. Although they were reworking the façade, there was no dust or noise during morning or evening. Rooms, though small, have big and comfy beds. There is a sofa in the double room that when opened becomes a double bed.

The lady at reception was so helpful and accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and had all we needed. The room was lovely and clean and they even got the sofa bed put and made for my son. After checkout the reception allowed us to keep our car in their private car park so I could show my son the site (his first time in London) and even allowed us to sit and have drinks once we got back from our boiling hot walk before leaving for Wales again. My son had the best birthday, Thank you for being so welcoming and kind. When we decide to come back in the future we know where to stay now.

The position of the hotel is extremely good. Close to Blackfriars (District) and Southwark (Jubilee) tube stations. The neighbourhood is also quiet and modern, within few minutes on foot you can easily reach Tate Modern, Borough Market and Shard. Breakfast is also rather vary but as an Italian coffee quality shall be improved. There are numerous bars (Starbucks, The Refinery) and there is also an Amazon Fresh nearby the hotel. Staff was friendly but not invasive, which we appreciated.
