“Holiday Inn Express London - Excel appeals primarily with its location handy to ExCeL and surprisingly good transport links via the DLR and Elizabeth Line. I think the complimentary breakfast is a genuine perk, especially for families or those on a budget. While it's a bit outside central London, I found it a worthwhile trade-off for value, particularly when events at ExCeL are the focus.”
