Stayed with my sister and teenage daughter, room was lovely and quiet, I liked the complimentary breakfast, most places we have stayed don't serve marmite :-) took about 30 mins to get to Alton towers from here, we will stay again next time we go there :-)

Cannot be faulted on a value for money basis. Friendly helpful staff, clean modern building, quiet room requested and allocated and although out of town, excellent for the nearby A38. Throw in a modest breakfast for two people and at £65 for the night there is little to complain about, apart from the standard size bed with a soft mattress.... More

Everything about our stay was ok - apart from our double bed was lumpy and quite uncomfortable. Having a half decent bed is pretty fundamental to any hotel, i'd say. But apart from that the stay was fine. The staff were really helpful in allowing us to check in early (11:00am), they organised our taxi to the wedding we were... More

Booked this hotel for 2 nights as attending a wedding in Branston area of Burton. Lets start with what a fantasic welcome the 2 ladies at the desk were wonderful - nothing was too much trouble. Had a problem connecting with the Wifi - this was more than resolved by these 2 ladies within minutes. Had a door problem with... More

A quiet room and free breakfast were both bonuses to a very reasonable stay. I had problems with the speed of the 'fast' internet connection, but the price of this was immediately refunded when I mentioned it. Try the 'Flaming Grill' pub just across the car park if you want very cheap (but perfectly reasonable) food and drink. Staff were... More

As with most other reviews of this hotel, the staff were excellent. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them, despite them being pretty busy, so the extra pillows were delivered hassle free, unlike some other establisments!! The best thing about the hotel was it's location, as we were visiting family in Leicestershire, having come from Scotland. A very direct route... More

The great thing about the Holiday Inn Express brand is the consistency across the hotels and Burton-upon-Trent is no exception. The reception staff are informative and very efficient whilst also being run of their feet not only checking people in but also serving from the bar and taking meals out to guests in the lounge. My room was clean and... More

Stayed in a family room with a toddler. All laid out so didn't have to make her bed up ourselves. Reception were helpful at advising us of alternative attractions when the weather turned rainy. Surrounded by a number of eating places. took us a while to find it as we don't know the area and lots of junctions to different... More

Pro's Friendly reception staff Good location for business users Clean enough Good value Breakfast was good quality and good choice Cons Bar area needs bit of an atmosphere, not one person in there on a Saturday night (slight worry) Beds were very uncomfortable and the pillows were terrible. All were of poor quality, could hear cars quite easy through windows... More
