What guests think

Reviews of Holiday Inn Northampton by IHG consistently praise the genuinely friendly, welcoming staff and satisfying breakfasts, with many also noting clean, comfortable rooms and a quiet, convenient setting with ample parking and pleasant riverside walks nearby.

However, multiple reviews report dated bedrooms and recurring maintenance issues such as noisy or ineffective air conditioning, problem windows, worn carpets, and occasional TV or Wi-Fi glitches. Evening dining is generally well liked, though some guests mention inconsistent restaurant service, a bland dish, or equipment outages. The location suits drivers, but a few note it’s a way from the town centre with limited buses, and some rooms experience noise from corridors, car park, or lifts. Overall, expect solid value, with room quality varying by assignment.

We always stay here now when visiting friends and family in the East Midlands. We have tried other hotels in the area from Bedford up to Leicester but this is ideal for location, food, service and a lovely reservoir to walk our Saluki! Parking is safe and ample, breakfasts are amazing, staff are helpful, welcoming and polite. Rooms are tidy, comfortable and spacious . The location is 5 mins off M1 but soooo quiet, 1 minute off A45 or A428 means every direction is accessible.

Hotel had ample free parking for residents. Bedroom was clean and tidy but the lighting is mostly provided by bedside wall lights or angle poise lamps. As a result the room was somewhat gloomy. Dining was available in the bar, tables were somewhat low. Food choice was good. Breakfast was a good choice. Staff were efficient. Hotel entrance was spoilt by the abundance of cigarette butts on the floor and plant containers.

Very clean and comfortable room. Staff accommodating and friendly. The safe in our room wasn’t working and was reported straight away. Unfortunately it still wasn’t working when we left. The hotel is quite some distance from the town centre and the bus service isn’t that frequent so we had to book taxis which the hotel did for us. Car parking is easy as there is big car park with lots of parking bays.

Very mixed experience. Friendly and helpful staff. Bar and restaurant have a good selection and breakfast good value. Condition of bedroom poor. Clearly some effort has been made to refurbish (e.g shower) but much more needed and really showed its age with stains throughout carpet, torn and peeling wallpaper, unrepaired water damage in bathroom and cracked washbasin. Also heating via portable electric radiator. For the price, Holiday Inn really needs to invest in refurbishing the bedrooms to the standard expected of their brand,

Tv did not work at all . Got there late so just when to bed. I was given an accessible room. However the toilet at the bottom was all discoloured and stained presumably from limescale and looked disgusting a squirt of limescale and bleach should have sorted it im sure but was obviously not std issue in what was otherwise a clean bathroom apart from the bracket on the rail holder was perhaps the most dirty corroded rusty thing i have ever seen in a modern hotel. room 11 ground floor . Maintenance you need to sort!

The hotel itself is ok but needs some attention, the aircon did not work (we did have a small oil radiator) the window did not close properly and let in cold and noise, shower head leaked. The manager was good but the foreign guy behind reception could not understand english very well which was frustrating especially when we had a pizza delivered to reception, the delivery guy couldn’t understand english either so that was very frustrating. Overall wasnt particularly pleasant, unlikely to return.

First room we had was fine, clean and seemed reasonable but the shower room wouldn’t drain and essentially flooded the shower room. Spoke to reception who said they were having issues and moved us straight away, no issues and nice about it all. The second room had a bathroom so no flooding issues but desperately needed an upgrade. The carpet had doormat over near the window to cover up a previous leak or stain, the window was clearly broken and had been desperately siliconed to an inch of its life but was still draughty, the wall paper was peeling and in the bathroom the previous toilet roll holder had been ripped off the wall and just exposed plaster and a hole left to view. The food however was lovely and an excellent menu. We had breakfast twice and dinner on our first night. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Just maybe bad luck our room was needing a make over.

Had to change room from 3 to 27 because the window wouldn’t close properly meaning you could hear the road noise. Both rooms were tired looking and need updating. Bathrooms had been modernised and good shower pressure. Light from the car park lit up the room despite “blackout” blinds. Noisy electric heater in the room. Staff were kind and helpful.

Our stay was overall really good. The food was amazing and well worth the money in my opinion although there was discussion that it was more in the pricier side but it proved to be worth it in my opinion. The room as really clean and the shower was my favourite part of the room. Things that I think could’ve made the experience better is more thicker pillows, it made it harder to sit in bed and watch tv or even find a comfortable position to go to sleep in. Also I think having more memory foam mattresses would be appreciated when it comes to bed comfort. Also the tv made me excited as I saw different streaming apps such as Netflix and YouTube but these were not working even though the tv was connected to the internet so we resorted to the free TV.

Certainly wouldn't choose again. Apparently i wasn't the first guest to complain about this so why its not been sorted i don't know.

Our first time using Holiday Inn and it was a very pleasant change from other budget hotels.Having staff welcome you at reception is a great start.The accessible room we requested was completely satisfactory for my wife who has Alzheimer's and movement and cognitive issues.An incident with my wife in the early morning hours when she lost her sense of bearing was dealt with professionally and with sensitivity by the night staff and we are both very grateful.We have booked another stay and are glad we have found this little gem.

Was at a conference at the university. The hotel is in walking distance along a nice path by the river. Although it is a half hour walk and not lit at night, which I was happy to do. The hotel is showing its age, but nothing wrong with it and it is tidy and clean. We had a large room (200) that was very nice as I had to work during the day. Although we could hear the lift motor over night as we were in the room underneath. Again this didn't bother me too much and was specific to the room we had. I didn't ask to be moved
