So for a 169 GBP per night room I get put through to a global call center manned by people who can barely understand me and vice versa. Tried twice to make a booking before giving up and going back to a hotel with a local reservations desk. Much better.

I stayed for one night only - a Wednesday. I had booked over a month ahead - a double. When I got there I was told there were no doubles, only twin beds left. To appologise they offered a complimentary bottle of red which was much appreciated. Got to the room right by the lift and was thoroughly unimpressed. It... More

Very expensive. Not close to the train stations. They are in the middle but not walking distance. Everything is additional. Wifi was accessible for a price, but when you are paying for a pricey hotel it should be included. There are so many options in London, I would suggest you keep looking.

This hotel is at least a 15 minute fast walk to Kings Cross/St Pancras, even more with luggage. It is expensive - and charges extras for everything. The room was small with little closet space or room for luggage. The TV was barely watchable due to poor reception. Concierge not particularly friendly. Strange smell in corridor.

Comfortable is the best adjective to describe my stay at Holiday Inn London - Kings Cross / Bloomsbury in one word. Though the check-in and out processes were not very smooth (like it was supposed to be because I had a prepaid voucher), the room was very nice and spacious. The complementary cookies and juice were very welcomed after the... More

The hotel is in a brilliant location. One minute walk to Russell Square tube station and 2 minutes walk to the British Museum. The hotel is very comfortable, clean and modern. Perfect location, good value for money. The daily breakfast is included in the room rate and is excellent.

Not really in the best location... And definately not a 4 star hotel. Room Smelt a little musty, and bathroom and fridge need updating. Ok for 1 night

I recently stayed at this Holiday inn. First of all I was shocked by the price.But then on the other side I was hoping for something special for that price.WRONG I asked for a non-smoking room, which I got but it was on a floor of smoking rooms, so it stunk in my room. The room was very outdated. The... More

I had booked a theatre package with Londontheatrebreak.com & had selected a nice hotel in Docklands. 36-hours before setting-off I get a phone call from the agency to say hotel was full and would I take this Holiday Inn instead? As other arangements had been made, I had little choice. This Holiday Inn is located in one of the seediest... More

I stayed in this hotel one night whilst on business in London so essentially for me it was ensuring I had somewhere reasonably comfortable to sleep. The check in was great as was the check out. I have stayed in many Holiday Inns and I have to say compared to others this was good but not the best. There was... More
