Nice overnight visit after some time away - Harlow

Used to come here regularly in the past. Shops and Restaurants are all within walking distance. Parking is possible nearby too but there was work going on at this time so parked in the multi-storey which is a short walk. Normally a bit cheaper if booked with the hotel directly. Need to pay in the car paek. Not sure if this is the new way forward but not a tragedy. Reception Team were great as before. Friendly and welcoming. Super breakfast with good hot options. Nothing too much trouble here and we will be back over the summer months. Many thanks all.

It was a pleasure to stay in the hotel. A friendly welcome when we arrived And the room was very clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable And have to say that the bathroom was outstanding. And will be staying there again soon.

8/10 Very good

the hotel was ok , the gave me a room just above the garbage room so seeing the garbage truck in the morning wasn't the most pleasant experience , the staff was very nice though

Tony, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great. Five stars

We stayed at the Harlow holiday in express. The room was perfect, the breakfast was great for free. We had a walk through the town and trip to the Wetherspoon pub and even saw what looked like a recent Banksy near it.
Russell, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The service was amazing and the beds were so comfy, it was like sleeping on a cloud! The breakfast was also amazing
Aleeza, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely Christmas stay.

All staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, general ambience was of a fresh, clean and modern nature. My only gripe was the mattress was quite hard, and therefore uncomfortable when sleeping, but my old bones didn't help 😔. My view couldn't be helped, but it was miserable, not the fault of the hotel.
Kevin, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

It took me 30 minutes to park due to roadworks which I won't blame the hotel for. The hotel was clean but every time I flushed the toilet it would make VERY audible noise for 10/15 minutes. Bed was comphy and the whole experience was expected except the clearly drugged up woman soliciting herself.

Parking

Parking outside hotel is currently suspended so I had to use the multi storey car park next door and pay for parking. Not easy when you are disabled.I would not have booked this hotel if this had been flagged up straight away
