I travel alot, and this is one of the best Holiday Inn Express I have stayed at. That doesn't mean…read morethis will beat a 5 star hotel - but for its 2/3 star level, it would be difficult to find better. But there are some flaws, read below.
Rooms
- Best ever nights sleep I've had in a long time. Quiet rooms, beds were comfortable. Aircon was very silent, and right temperature. You can't ask for more than that.
- Table was a bit wobbly for work, so maybe not best if you need to do lots of work in your room.
- Looks like recently renovated or built - everything was clean, newish. Shower was great, bathroom was spotless.
- Wifi was fast and easy to connect
Location
- It is not in the city center, but close to the airport (less than 10 minutes by taxi, 24 euros). There is a tram stop a few minutes walk away
- In the immediate vicinity there isn't much, only a McDonalds across the road, so finding dinner will be difficult
Breakfast
- Free breakfast with every room. But the choices were limited. Only "hot" food was a hard boiled egg. And not alot of fruit options, just whole apples and oranges.
- However, the cheese, ham, bread, and cereal selection was good. As was the coffee machine. So if you just need a simple breakfast, its more than sufficient.
Platinum benefits:
- Got a room on the top floor, not facing the road, so that was good
- Got a choice of 300 extra points or a free drink at the bar. Go for the drink
- Nothing else unfortunately! But you don't expect anything else at a HI Express
This place is perfect for an overnight stop. I wouldn't want to stay here for more than a night or two though, because it isn't the right hotel for that kind of stay. And it is probably only good value if you get a room less than 60 euros a night.
