Why guests love itHoliday Inn Express London - Excel is a straightforward 3-star that describes itself as ideal for families, and the essentials back that up: complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi, air-conditioned rooms, and a restaurant and bar on site. The building is smoke-free, kid-friendly and accessible, with full-service laundry for longer trips and parking options if you drive. It holds an 8.8 rating from nearly 4,000 reviews. There is no pool or spa, so it is a practical base rather than a destination.
