I stayed here last week with my wife & sister, for a running event taking place nearby. The hotel was easy to find, just off the A1. When we arrived (fairly late evening), the hotel asked whether we were there for the race & told us that they were serving breakfast from 6am rather than their usual weekend times, as... More

We stayed here last weekend after my husband competed in the Rate Race Dirty Weekend at Burghley Park. We decided that if he was running 20 miles with 200 obstacles he would probably want a bed and nice hot shower! Nice and easy to find and check-in was swift and the gentleman who checked us in was polite (could have... More

The hotel is located next to the Peterborough showgorund and easly accessed from the A1. The rooms are generally clean and tidy (I have stayed several times and never had an issue with cleanliness). In common with most HI Express they have yet to discover Freeview so have a limited number of channels on the TV. If you are using... More

I am a regular visitor to Holiday Inn Express hotels, so can review this with reference to others I have stayed in. Firstly I received a friendly welcome, and was pleased to see the hotel was clean and in good decorative order. The HIE breakfast was well up to standard, and staff were attentive so that food was replenished quickly... More

My husband competed in the Burghley rat race which was just 10 miles from the hotel. The bed was comfy, the water was hot and the receptionists were more than helpful. They recommended some where to eat and called taxis for us. Breakfast was perfectly adequate, all hot and always topped up! Staff were efficient and friendly. A great stay... More

Bog standard room, with a terrible bed!! Good sized bathroom for a basic hotel, but no decaf coffee!! Hotel is next to the arena on the West of England way. Our room over looked the main road so was very noisy. Breakfast is buffet style and of basic quality.
