"Not the worst HI Express - hello Croydon - but certainly not the best. Rooms well sized, bar and corridors noisy through the night. Budget £12 per night for parking."

"No longer a Holiday Inn - now rebranded to a Crowne Plaza."

"Go upstairs to relax - stay downstairs for food."

"In the early days of the Docklands redevelopment - when One Canada Square stood proud and alone - this was the place to stay. Those memories are long faded, as is this hotel. Dated, budget but clean."

"In contrast to the hateful space that is Luton Airport, the Aspire lounge is a dream. It’s compact, modern, there is a good spread of food, friendly staff and a handy bar."

"Surprised by some of the hate here. Aspire Lounge is a tidy, quiet lounge with great view of the runway, a decent full English breakfast, a useful bar and plenty of space for an airport of this size."
