Holiday Inn Express Park Royal, an IHG Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Holiday Inn Express Park Royal, an IHG Hotel, you immediately get that reliable, no-nonsense vibe that makes business travelers and couples feel right at home. It’s a three-star property that honestly punches above its weight — the lobby feels fresh and modern, with that signature Holiday Inn Express energy that says “we’ve got this sorted.” The staff actually seem to know what they’re doing, which isn’t always a given in London, and check-in was refreshingly quick when I stayed.

Location That Actually Works

Here’s the thing about North Acton — it sounds like the middle of nowhere, but you’re actually brilliantly positioned. The Central Line is right there, meaning you can be in Oxford Circus in about 20 minutes, and honestly, that beats being stuck in Zone 1 traffic any day. What I love is that couples have figured this out (they rate the location 8.4), probably because you get that London experience without the insane city center prices. Plus, there’s parking here — actual private parking at the hotel — which is like finding gold dust in London.

The Room Experience

The room I had was exactly what you’d expect from Holiday Inn Express, but in the best possible way. Clean lines, comfortable bed, and everything works properly — the air conditioning actually cools things down, the shower has decent pressure, and the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every five minutes. It’s not trying to be boutique or fancy, just functional and comfortable. The windows are well-insulated too, which matters because Victoria Road can get a bit busy during rush hour.

Breakfast Worth Getting Up For

I’ll be honest — hotel breakfast can be hit or miss, but they’ve nailed it here. The continental buffet setup gives you proper choices, from fresh pastries to decent coffee that doesn’t taste like it’s been sitting around since yesterday. You know what impressed me? They actually keep things stocked and fresh throughout the morning service. It’s one of those small details that shows they care about getting the basics right, and it sets you up properly for a day exploring London.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.1 rating and location scores hitting 8.5, this place has clearly figured out what travelers actually want. It’s that sweet spot where you’re getting solid value without compromising on the essentials — reliable transport links, comfortable accommodation, and service that doesn’t make you feel like you’re bothering anyone. The North Acton location might not sound glamorous, but it’s practical in a way that makes perfect sense once you’re here. Whether you’re in London for business or exploring with your partner, this Holiday Inn Express delivers exactly what it promises, which is more valuable than you might think.

Reviews of Holiday Inn Express Park Royal, an IHG Hotel

  • Caroline from Ireland (9/10)

    Absolutely lived the staff firstly, The cleaniness is top class and the efficiency of breakfast, dinner and the bar in the common area is fantastic. Location is amazing, Right on the North Acton tube stop. Tesco express, Costa coffee, Domino's and a Sainsburys all next to the hotel. We stayed in Room 222 for 3 night over St. Patrick's Day weekend and I loved our hotel. Definitely is my choice of hotel on future trips to London.
