Great. Five stars
We stayed at the Harlow holiday in express. The room was perfect, the breakfast was great for free. We had a walk through the town and trip to the Wetherspoon pub and even saw what looked like a recent Banksy near it.

Harlow Stay - August 2024
Hotel is in good location of town centre. During our visit works were happening which meant car park was unavailable however alternative car parking was advised. Room sofa was possibly needing replaced as when you sat down the seat would disappear into the base. Staff were very friendly. Lifts kept breaking down. Room was a good size and clean.
