Arrived around 11.00 am and had a smooth check in through the Premier Rewards desk, must have been one of the perks as the room was ready. dumped our stuff and spent a couple of hours down in Covent Garden.

Stayed here for one night back in October 2012 whilst visiting London for an exam. This was exactly what I was expecting. Clean rooms with everything you need. Nothing fancy, but then I wasn't expecting that. Well located. Would definitely stay here again if visiting London for the same reason/location.

Easy access by Tube. Easy walk to lots of London sites. Good selection of restaurants in neighborhood. On Site pub is OK but prefer the one over the road. Have stayed several times and will continue to do so when in London and when the price is right.

My husband and I went to London to celebrate his 50th birthday. I emailed the hotel prior to our stay to ask if there was any possibility of having a room with a nice view. They emailed me back to say they had noted it on their system. On arriving at the hotel we were told that our room wasn't... More

Hotels should really be upfront about charges and not be like low cost airlines with surprises. Wi-fi is one essential one expects on business and I was surprised to be charged £5 a minute when the hotel plugs its superfast internet connection as a major attraction. Otherwise the hotel is walkable from Euston, the room I had rather pokey, standard... More

I have stayed at the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury on a number of occasions. The staff make an extra effort to welcome you and remember you. I had my upgrade this time (a problem in the past) and a nice room on the 1st floor. It is more expensive than the HI Regents Park but it is nicer.

Very friendly welcome by Gary, the concierge, and Fleur on reception. Asked whether an upgrade was possible and was given one at a very reasonable rate. As we had arrived before midday, the Hotel took care of our luggage and we returned at 2pm. When Fleur found the room was not ready, she offered us a complimentary drink in the... More

We stayed here for one night in April and paid with Avios points. We booked an executive room which was quite small, US travellers would find it pretty tiny. Room was clean and bed comfortable.
