Holiday Inn Express Bath, An Ihg Hotel

“Nice hotel, comfy and welcoming”

The hotel is really nice, modern and clean, the room was spacious and comfortable. The shower was really good, hot and spacious, weirdly the toilet door is the shower door, never seen that before.

The hotel is really nice, modern and clean, the room was spacious and comfortable. The shower was really good, hot and spacious, weirdly the toilet door is the shower door, never seen that before. The parking was expensive, £15 for the night, so prepare for that extra unusual expense. Breakfast was ok, had lots of choices for the normal meat eater, for me I had a couple of choices, so had toast (no bagels) with spread (no peanut butter) and then six weetabix to ensure I was full for the drive home. The staff were nice and friendly and you can get a town map in reception, which was helpful. Only negative was the (probably) drunk people outside reception, we were on the second floor but got woke up by the laughing and loud chatter outside, then a motorbike a little later, guess the windows aren’t sound proof. It’s a nice hotel though, bring ear plugs and your own peanut butter ;)

“Good location for seeing the sights”

This hotel is in a great location for exploring Bath. The city centre is about a 15-20min walk away. The hotel itself is clean and modern. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The parking is tight outside and really expensive. £45 for 2 days!! Make sure you get the code from the hotel 1… more

This hotel is in a great location for exploring Bath. The city centre is about a 15-20min walk away. The hotel itself is clean and modern. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The parking is tight outside and really expensive. £45 for 2 days!! Make sure you get the code from the hotel 1st though. The price before we entered the discount code was £150!! My main issue with the hotel was the breakfast. This isn't a new hotel so I am guessing they know the busiest times, but on day 1 there were no eggs and when I asked they said that there weren't anymore that day! Yet there was still 30 mins of time left and a queue of people waiting for tables. We also had to wait for more food to come out and no-one seemed to be monitoring the food availability. You had try and catch one of the servers to enquire as to where the food was. On day 2 it was much the same, a wait for eggs and bacon which had run out. It just felt very disorganised and I did see people just walk away and go without. Reception staff were very helpful when asking for directions etc.

“Poor breakfast and extortionate parking”

We stayed here for one night before a university open day. The hotel was clean and the room although small well thought out, similarly the bathroom. The two disappointments were breakfast which I felt was well below par and not comparable with other competitor budget hotel chains offering breakfast… more

We stayed here for one night before a university open day. The hotel was clean and the room although small well thought out, similarly the bathroom. The two disappointments were breakfast which I felt was well below par and not comparable with other competitor budget hotel chains offering breakfast or charging a nominal amount. The hotel was on the cheapest but I factored in that we did not have to pay separately for breakfast and now wish we had revisited that thought! I was also somewhat taken aback that to park my car for what turned out to be only 8 hours overnight cost £15. I was told the car part was a private car park but this hotel is not in the city centre and I would not expect to pay that amount park in what is effectively an outlying area. The hotel should come to a separate arrangement with the owner of the car park for the benefit of its guests.
