Really nice clean room. Good reception area with helpful staff. Great breakfast included. Overall starting to look a little dated and not many food choices around the hotel.
The Hotel is well situated near Bradford Interchange Railway Station (I arrived by train) and was clean with a good breakfast and at a reasonable room rate.

Power location
The room had one power point a lond way from the bed. I have sleep Apnea and had to use my own extention lead to reach my machine.
I was also unable to charge my Mobile that I use as an alarm this could only be done on the desk, again a distance from where i slept.
Staff were friendly and was just a one night stay so can't comment on everything but the bed was so uncomfortable both my partner and I woke up very sore and tired the next day, will likely not book again unless I have to
Liked the breakfasts, great value stay over 3 nights.
Very friendly helpful staff.
Very convenient for city centre and Year of Culture attractions.
Only downside is traffic sounds....not too bad really.
Friendly attentive staff members on reception/ bar & at breakfast.
Beds were not too comfortable needed more padding. More blanklets should be available in the room as heating takes a long while to heat up the room.
Great location for theatre and parking really good and not expensive.
Good spread for breakfast.and decent priced room. Thank you.
Next time we visit Bradford to see family we will book in at this hotel again, but I have two observations to mention.
First - there are plenty of parking spaces which includes a covered multi story that, at the time of writing (Feb 2025) costs £1.50 for 24 hours.
Second - The rooms are cleaned each day to a good standard, but the carpet in our room looked grubby and stained.
Holiday Inn Express Bradford City Centre by IHG is conveniently located at the Leisure Exchange Centre. A stone throw to the regenerated city centre, which includes a modern square surrounded by dining options, the Alhambra theatre and the National Science and Media Museum. Hot breakfast is included in the stay. Despite being located in an entertainment area, rooms are quiet. Showers are good and room service is efficient. Those coming by car can park at the multistorey car park. The rate is really affordable (£1.50 per 24 hours as of January 2025). Car parking payment is only by card.
