Holiday Inn Express London - Greenwich

The receptionists were very enthusiastic to help

Got tickets for abba at O2 ,so we rang and booked a room the night before (lucky) Great location . Been before which was great but this time room even better as it had been recently renovated.Breakfast was included no complaints at all everything that anyone would want in the morning.Thanks to staff ,very helpful as well. We are going to book again to stay and see all the tourist local places besides the O2! Great stay,thanks

Room 510 stunk of cigarettes particularly the bathroom. We reported this to reception not long after check in but nothing was done about it and it was like this for the whole of our stay. Breakfast was very busy with big queues and a lot of items had run out despite there still being quite a bit of service time left. A lot of what was there you could tell was cheap ingredients which was a shame as Holiday Inn breakfasts are usually great. It was so basic we didn’t go again despite it being paid for. The fire alarm went off at 5am then stopped so we thought it was a false alarm. It then went off another twice. With a broken ankle and being on the 5th floor this was quite worrying. Upon check in I completed the box about requiring assistance in case of emergency however no one came to the room, not even a phone call. It was upon heading down stairs that another guest coming back up said it was a false alarm. When we checked out I mentioned this and was just told well it was a false alarm so that’s why no one came and it only went off once, this was false and when I challenged this she said her colleague told her it only went off once, she wasn’t working at that time. Very disappointing and quite a worrying situation to be in. Obviously glad it was a false alarm, it was set off in the kitchen, assuming when they were preparing the awful breakfast! Also the room window could open fully which for health and safety there normally should be a latch preventing this, especially on the 5th floor. This wasn’t an issue for me but better to mention these things. The good thing about this hotel is the close proximity to the o2 and public transport.
