Hotwire Hotel: 3* London (South Bank) Express by Holiday Inn Southwark

[BLH613]

I see a 3* London Southbank hotel on Hotwire, amenities include complimentary breakfast and high speed internet, $59/nt. The only hotel with these amenities I see on the BetterBidding list is the Express by Holiday Inn on Southwark Street but its rated 2 1/2*. What are the odds this is the place?

I only need two nights in a clean room from April 4-6 for a little sightseeing after a week spent elsewhere in England. Any opinions on this hotel/location?

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Welcome to BetterBidding!

The Express by Holiday Inn Southwark hasn't been reported to the board since August of last year, so there is definatley a chance it has been upgraded (especially with the recent systemwide star rating changes HOTWIRE went thru about a month ago) but there is no evidence of such at this time.

HOTWIRE does show Tripadvisor info for this property and it is consistent with the current rating and number of reviews as the Express by Holiday Inn Southwark, so this seems like a plausible scenario, but we won't know for certain until somebody reports it to the board. (at least if it isn't you know that you're getting a 'decent' hotel, as per the 3.5* rating from Tripadvisor users)
