The inside of the building was nice and clean. Great breakfast and friendly staff. The outside was a bit sketchy and had some rundown areas around the hotel and parking lot. Other than that it was a fine stay.

Fantastic staff at reception on all shifts,doing over expectations. The housekeeper on level 4 very considerate and wanting to help.
Now the reason it gets 4 not 5.
For the 1st time the cooked breakfast swas exactly the same for the 3 mornings: scrambled eggs, same sausages,had brown,tomatoes, bacon. Other have stopped the eggs for fried or omelette and mushrooms or tomatoes. Individual yogurts, boiled eggs and milk in a fridge.
I have mentioned this to the

clean room & hotel, great staff, great breakfast.

the only thing was that we were staying when it was 35 degrees. the air con worked but it started leaking whilst we were out in london and when we came back the floor was soaked. there was no other rooms available for us to be put in so we put some towels down and a bucket to catch the drip

Nice hotel in a good location. Basic uninspiring decor in rooms but that's what you'd probably expect for a budget hotel. Decent location though.

Warriors Junction is a solid four‑star choice that met our needs perfectly. The rooms were comfortable and well‑maintained, with nothing to complain about, while the bathrooms were particularly nice—clean, modern and well‑equipped. The location couldn’t be more convenient for travel, especially via Watford Junction and the Lioness line, as well as other train and bus connections. Great for commuters and visitors alike, it combines practicality and comfort in a professional, no‑frills way that makes it easy to recommend.

Breakfast was OK and decent. Very small plates though. Room was clean. We visited on the 10th to 11th of Jan. Room was cold and as we travelled as a family the 1 room air con/heating did not work. The other room controls were not easy air con was so loud and heating struggled to get above 18°C. We were 2 mins walk away from Watford junction which was ideal as we could pick up the Harry Potter experience shuttle bus direct which took only 10 mins to get to the attraction. Good location.

The room was great and the double bed was brilliant. As we are a family of 4 (2 young children) the sofa bed was set up for us, this bed was not up to any kind of standard. If seems extremely old and the mattress had lumps all over, this did not enable the people sleeping on it to sleep at all.
The breakfast was outstanding!!!

Not sure who or how this hotel is rated as excellent. The hotel looks modern until you look at the detail. eg dirty carpets, tired in places reception area, carpets in the room worn out and dirty. There is grime in the lifts, doors chipped etc. Bathroom was nice clean and modern! Breakfast was included and decent. I think the hotel probably attracts a certain type of person and also is not really cleaned and maintained. In my opinion this hotel and brand is over priced for a Holiday Inn. Id rather pay half the price and go stay at a 3 star hotel.

Not the best holiday inn express

Car park spaces were barely wide enough for a small car and guests were expected to pay £12 for the privilege of parking there. (The station car park a short walk away is a far better option) Even though the room was pre paid the hotel wanted a credit card as a Garrentee against damage because the hotel was booked through Hotels. Com. (I refused )

Little problems but nice stay overall

The hotel is new-ish and in very nice condition. I experienced several small niggles during my stay including an inoperable safe, spoiled toiletries and confusion about the need for housekeeping. Although it took too long to correct these issues, management did correct them in the end and we had a reasonably good stay. The hotel is within an easy few minutes drive of Stonehenge and the charming little town of Salisbury. The on-site restaurant is pretty good and there are fast food options nearby as well.

Holiday Inn Impressed!!!!

Wow!!! What else can I say?? This was me and my partner's first time in Watford, and we were super impressed. All the staff were amazing, welcoming, and friendly, but a big shout-out to Siead (sorry if I spelled your name wrong). This guy went above and beyond to help and make sure we were both happy with the service.

The breakfast was amazing, with lots of different food to choose from, and a fry-up was the obvious choice.

The room was just a standard room with working air conditioning, and it beat our expectations. Overall, we were extremely impressed and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, and we'd definitely return.

I had a fantastic stay at this Holiday Inn Express!

The location of the hotel is really convenient as it’s located a (less than) 5 minute walk from Watford Junction station, and there were plenty of unique food options in/around the area. :) The bed was comfy and got a great night of sleep; was a little difficult to adjust the temp of the room but was all fine once I managed to figure that out.

The staff in particular really enhanced my stay; they were all so friendly and accommodating and happy to help with absolutely anything I needed.

Great budget hotel

We spent very little time in the hotel as we were visiting family nearby. Nice hotel inside - somewhat complicated to find with the sat nav which takes you to the back and a not so great area. Reception staff were lovely. Room was spacious and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was nice but would have liked some more pastry options and better fruit choices given the price we paid for a Saturday night as it was bit low on options but what was there was good. We were just travelling locally but feel this would be a good base for outside of London and you could travel in.

The staff (all of them) are exceptional. They are polite, very efficient and extremely friendly. The hotel is very clean, and our room was lovely. This hotel is very close to Watford Junction and The Harry Potter Studios Tour shuttle bus. I’d say between a two to five minute walk. There is a fabulous shopping mall in the town centre, due to the weather we got a taxi both ways and it was only £5-£6 each way depending on the traffic. It’s easily walkable though. We dined in the restaurant in the evening and the food was piping hot and very tasty.
I recommend this hotel very highly. Thank you for a perfect stay.

Air conditioning falsely advertised

The hotel itself was excellent, unfortunately the room was like a sauna, the air conditioning didn't work. When i spoke to reception I was advised the air con was centralised which didn't sound right, because the hotel itself was very cool. After complaining a second time the receptionist came to the hotel and confirmed the room was like a sauna, his solution was an extra fan which just blew warm air. Shocking service and clearly advertising rooms as air conditioned is not quite right, as its apparently centralised access the hotel... They never offered a solution apology or refund
