The room was clean and tidy. The staff were helpful and friendly. There was a good breakfast selection. The hotel is in a good location, which was close to railway station and buses, so very convenient for me. I wish there was a fridge in the room. I enjoyed my stay. I would defintely book here again

Staff very helpful. Nice and clean everywhere. Shame the bathroom hand-wash container was empty on arrival, and remained empty throughout the stay. And apparently the non working desk lights were "on order".

Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express Watford Junction was all over a great experience. The train station is not even a 5 min walk away. The service was great and a special thanks goes to Abi for her outstanding service! Thanks to everyone, it‘s definitely a recommendation of mine.

The room was great and the double bed was brilliant. As we are a family of 4 (2 young children) the sofa bed was set up for us, this bed was not up to any kind of standard. If seems extremely old and the mattress had lumps all over, this did not enable the people sleeping on it to sleep at all.
The breakfast was outstanding!!!
