Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Holiday Inn Express Doncaster appears to be a popular choice for those visiting the area, with many highlighting its convenient location near the motorway and easy access to attractions like Yorkshire Wildlife Park and Balby. Guests frequently mention the clean and spacious rooms, often equipped with handy amenities like a pressing iron. The breakfast is generally well-received, though some have found the scrambled eggs to be less appealing.

adequate one-night stay

good parking early room convenient location dog odour noisy road old room

parking was good. the hotel is close to the venue. it was easy to find. i was allocated a room in advance of check in time because i am an ihg member.

the carpet had an odour of dog and cigarette smoke that ventilating the room could not get rid of. the hotel rooms could do with a refurbishment. the hotel is next to a noisy road.
