What guests think

At Holiday Inn Express Dundee by IHG, guests most often praise the city centre, walkable setting and helpful, welcoming staff, making it a convenient base for exploring Dundee by foot or public transport.

Rooms are simple and generally comfortable, with some front-facing views of the Tay Bridge but reports of traffic or corridor noise, limited bedside power or USB, patchy lighting, and the odd maintenance issue. Breakfast is included and frequently described as good value, though several reviews mention weak coffee or juice, limited choice, or slow replenishment when busy. Parking connects via a footbridge to a multistorey and is convenient once found, but it is paid and a few guests found access confusing. Overall, expect a straightforward, value-minded city base.

Fab view over the River Tay. Very quiet room. Car park on Gellatley St is attached to hotel by footbridge on Level 3, straight into Reception. No discounted rate for parking - prepay before exiting. Water cistern in bathroom ran all night despite my best efforts. On reporting it, was told 'some of them do - just try pushing again' Not the best response to broken sleep. Maybe they need fixed?

Convenient stay as an overnight stop off. Mulit storey car park (which you have to pay for)behind the hotel with a linked walk over bridge. Fast check-in and maps to take showing the lical area and places of interest. Two lifts for the 4 floors, key card to get through initial door on each floor. Compact rooms, with everything you need, but no air con, which is needed. If you're lucky enough to have a room on the front it faces Tay bridge, however we were given a room on the back which faced the car park and was noisy. Complimentary breakfast was good and all in all, hotel was a decent stop over for what we paid.

We did not like the fact that though the hotel entrance is outside the ULEZ AREA access via the adjacent multi storey car park is inside the ULEZ. There is a bridge from the second floor of the car park into the hotel reception. Having previously used this facility we were shocked to get a fine for entering the ULEZ all be it only 20 metres. Maybe the hotel should warn guests of this problem. We should mention that the reception on duty ?Yanster was exceptionally helpful by sourcing alternative car parks.

It was on stay. Close to the road so very noisy even during the night. Had to ask for the room to be cleaned on the third day as house keeping hadn’t been anywhere near it. Apart from that, perfect location.

Horrible coffee Breakfast interior very dirty and greasy/sticky ( look at picture at sofa backrest. Lady at checkout asked about our stay and we told her and she came up with a horrible answer.

Good value for money & good that breakfast is still included. The springs in the bed felt as if they were broken & wakened constantly with corridor door slamming. I think the spring needed adjusting. We were very close to the door. The location is great. Overall we enjoyed our stay & would definitely book again. We have stayed @ Holiday Inn express a number of times.

Room was very clean and well presented, what let it down was the lacked proper lighting. The bed nearest the window the only availed light once dark was the very small reading lamp attached to the bed or a very small desk lamp by the TV. Which meant if dropped anything and it rolled into the shadows it was near impossible to find (bring a torch). If you needed to find something in the corner or small pockets of a case, coat etc then that had to be physically move it over to the door where there was full lighting. The electric heater was also not powerful enough to heat the room properly.

We checked in with Sarah, I found her a little abrupt and cold, the room was basic, fluff on the edges of the bed, bathroom door handle hanging off and shower pressure was a trickle in massage mode we had a view of a multistory car park that’s fine but after a drive if 200 miles it was a bit disappointing, breakfast was ok i guess, not great but a budget hotel so as you would expect (we stopped at McDonald’s at Johnstonebridge to top up. On the whole decent enough, basic, budget friendly and please polish those lights in the atrium they are so dirty! Car parking is confusing, night manager is lovely but day staff try smiling once in a while!

Room was clean and modern, with everything we needed for 1 night stay. Was disappointed that we had to return to reception after check in as no bedding was left for sofa bed upon arrival. upon our return it had been dropped off in room. Sofa bed was not especially comfortable while main bed was. At breakfast Hotel appeared short staffed which led to breakfast items being low or finished with no one to replenish them. Tables were left for periods of time uncleared as only one person working in dining area, she did her best to clear tables, help customers and replenish food but needed help. Generally hotel nice, all staff we spoke with were friendly and did their job as well as they were able.

Felt unsafe. Phones in room did not work (no advance notice provided). Wouldn’t care normally, but someone opened our room door late at night. When we confronted a young man in the hallway he said he worked there and that everything was fine. It was NOT fine! Couldn’t call the front desk to report the incident and after lack of sleep, when we did report it the following morning the Manager didn’t seem to care. Would not recommend this hotel.

The location of the Hotel is quite good. Not far from oldtown and several museums. The room and the bed was okay, what was really disappointing was the breakfast. In other Holiday Express Hotels I had a much wider choice of joghurt, bread, cheese, etc. It was truly basic. And the coffee, was simply not drinkable.
