Holiday Inn Express Reggio Emilia by IHG
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Holiday Inn Express Reggio Emilia by IHG is worth booking if you are passing through by car or high-speed train, or heading to Mapei Stadium, and want a clean, predictable room with free parking. It is a weaker choice if you want to explore the old town on foot.

This is our Best Value pick in Reggio Emilia. It has three official stars and a guest score of 8.3 out of 10 from 2,054 reviews, the most reviews among our three picks in the city.
It suits business travellers, drivers and anyone arriving on a high-speed train. Football fans going to Mapei Stadium are another clear fit. Free parking and family rooms are listed, and the tags mention pets, though that policy needs checking.
Skip it if your trip is about the historic centre. The main churches are just over half an hour away on foot. Breakfast lovers may also be let down, as some guests criticise the coffee machines and food quality.
Location and getting around
The address is Via Meuccio Ruini 7. Guests point out that it is near the motorway, the high-speed train station and Mapei Stadium. The location score is 8.6 out of 10.
San Pietro is about 2.4 km in a straight line, around 30 minutes on foot. Reggio Emilia Cathedral and San Prospero are each about 2.5 km, roughly 31 minutes. At over half an hour on foot, the centre counts as far, so public transport or a taxi makes sense, especially in the evening.
Free parking is listed, which helps if you arrive by car.
What guests say
Location gets praise for practical reasons: quick access to the motorway, the high-speed station and the stadium.
Cleanliness is the other strength. Guests describe tidy, well-kept spaces throughout the property.
Breakfast divides opinion. The buffet is varied, with sweet and savoury options in Italian and American styles, but some guests are disappointed by the coffee machines and the quality of the food.
Price and what you get against our other two picks
The reference price was €158 per night, about €316 for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. These are reference prices seen for those dates, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
That was 8% below the sample median of €171.74. Our Budget pick, NovaHotel, cost €76 per night with an 8.0 score, but it is farther out and has bathroom complaints. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Posta, cost €197 per night with four stars and a 9.1 score.
Listed facilities are a restaurant, free parking, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The gap to the Luxury pick is only €39 per night, so compare both for your dates.
