This hotel was in the wonderful area of Bloomsbury, where you can find the British Museum and an easy tube stop, Russell Square. There is also St. Pancras, a train station about 3 blocks away, and a small Italian restaurant near the Russell Square tube stop that is absolutely great! The park, nearby, is nice too. That being said, the... More

I have not had a lot of luck with Holiday Inn so this hotel was a pleasant surprise. I knew the location was great right near Russell Square tube station (Piccadilly Line is a good train line to be on) and opposite Brunswick Square shopping complex with all it's excellent dining out options. There is also a large tesco there... More

We had tickets for Royal Opera in Covent Garden so we wanted somewhere equidistant between the House and Kings Cross railway station. This hotel is in Bloomsbury, next to the Brunswick Centre, so it perfectly met this criterion. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was small, it was a bit of a squeeze to get around to... More

Stayed at this property as part of a bargain January/Olympics deal Holiday Inn ran in December 2011, so certainly can't grumble at the price I paid. Room was clean, bathroom spacious, nice big TV, staff friendly etc, but the property has its flaws and I can't imagine i'll be rushing back. Bed was very soft and not that big at... More

My partner and I popped in for a drink at the bar Saturday evening and was not impressed with the service. The two women working behind the bar were disinterested in customers to say the least. They carried on their private conversation despite having customers to serve. Perhaps training them to smile would be a start! The decor of the... More

As the title suggests I have very low expectations for London hotels. The rack rate for this is something like £400 per night - noone pays more than a fraction of that.

We stayed one night on December 29th 2011. Rooms are quite small but very clean. The double beds are the smallest we have ever had in any hotel, if we stayed again we would request twin beds for more space (we're 5'2 and 5'6!). Only had drinks in the downstairs bar, prices were fairly high but not as expensive as... More

This was our first stay in a Holiday Inn, and to be honest I think it may be our last. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was ok.
