Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Bradford City Centre and had a mixed experience. The staff were helpful and quickly replaced our room after I fell due to a broken bed in the original one, which I appreciated. However, the incident was quite unpleasant and highlighted the need for better room maintenance. The hotel itself feels quite old and tired, especially the furnishings. The beds are in serious need of upgrading — not very comfortable and, in our case, even unsafe. The building could definitely benefit from some refurbishment to meet the standard expected from a brand like IHG. Another issue was that the property was difficult to find, especially for first-time visitors. Better signage or clearer directions would really help. Overall, decent service and a convenient location, but the facilities need attention. Hopefully, improvements will be made in the near future.

Location is great for Bradford and the railway station for reaching Leeds. Parking close by for £3.50 for 24 hours. Staff were great and the room a good size for a family if 4. The bed and sofa bed were ok could could be more comfortable. Only disappointing thing was breakfast. Really poor sausages, apple juice tasted like cordial with loads of added sugar and the overall range was a bit limited. Felt like the whole stay was good value but they cheapest out with breakfast. Would stay again

Parking was very easy and cheap . It was easy to get to the hotel, the staff were friendly and the breakfast good. Although the hotel is in a quite area there is a lot of noise in the night from the cars racing along the carriage way, we used our ear plugs. Location is very good for the bus and train station, we took the train to Leeds and it was easy.
