Holiday Inn Express London - Watford Junction By Ihg

We all had an excellent stay at this hotel. It was very clean in every area. Our room was a good enough size. We had a double bed with a double sofa bed to sleep two adults and one 12-year-old child. I have read a few negative reviews on here about the availability of gluten-free foods. As a coeliac, I would have to say I was fairly impressed so I don’t know what the negative reviews are all about? At breakfast, there was a separate section with covered gluten-free bread plus gluten-free cereal plus a separate gluten-free toaster with signs everywhere to warn for the toaster is only to be used for gluten-free toast. There was very clear and separate food areas for items that. as a coeliac you can eat for example bacon, scrambled egg, baked beans and fresh tomatoes. There was also a good selection of coffees and teas. Being a person who has to drink decaffeinated coffee there was plenty to use there plus was cartoned apple juice and orange juice and water available as well as fresh milk and fresh butter. The butter is in individually wrapped portions therefore there will be no cross contamination however I would say that as a coeliac you would not be able to use the commonly used bowl of jam et cetera because this is used by everybody. But in saying that I didn’t ask and I am more than positive if I had asked I would have been given separate jam because the staff are truly excellent. They were all great - kind courteous and always willing to help so it’s a definite 5 out of 5 from us! We didn’t have dinner at the hotel however I did notice a fairly good selection of available good free food on the dinner menu, and the menu had clearly marked gluten-free items which is a bonus if you are gluten-free or coeliac. Excellent location for Harry Potter Studios because you can walk to get the Harry Potter bus in about five minutes. Also an excellent location for Central London as you can get into central London from Watford Junction station in as little as 14 minutes if you are lucky enough to be able to catch the train. There are many trains into central London which range and time between 48 minutes to 14 minutes from Watford Junction station, which is only a five minute walk from this hotel :)

Nice budget Watford hotel within walking distance of Watford train station and city centre. Nice and clean rooms and great service from the reception. Quiet and quiet area with some small restaurants nearby. Visitors to Harry Potter Studios can recommend this hotel.

Close to everything Nice hotel with helpful staff, clean room and decent breakfast. Id recommend.
