Other recent reviews have given this hotel a bit of a bashing. I would agree the current situation is less than optimal but we have stayed for several years during wimbledon fortnight. Our check in was seamless and the staff were very friendly. Room on the second floor was immacualtley tidy and clean.
We had breakfast both mornings and were struck again by the pleasantness of the staff. The hotel is opposite colliers wood train station and cab office next door is an easy way to get to wimbledon.
Current situation is however marred by a huge expansion to the hotel which might be running behind schedule as due to finish early summer 2012. We will probably return back next year when works are completed and it is unfortunate to leave a bad review due to the current remodelling.

stopped here a few times with work over the last few months and the transformation that is taking place is staggering
it states on the website that the renovations are taking place so it hasnt been of any inconvenience at all to myself during my stays
a lot of reviews mention the building works but it is a new extension being built and the works havent started before 8 and there hasnt been no noise from after 5 while i have been there,the existing rooms have all been refurbished to a high standard and they are now looking really fantastic and its nice to see a bit of london when you walk through the corridoors on the pillars
as a base its a great place to stay as colliers wood tube station is just across the road and a few pubs and restaurants are close by
got to say a special mention about all the hotel staff,from the reception to the housekeeping and the breakfast team,every time i see one of them they are always happy,always speak to me and are a credit to the holiday inn brand,i have stayed in a hotels in dubai,usa,across europe and customer service here is up there with the best
looking forward to my next visit

I have stayed at this hotel many times, mainlt because of the location, across the road from the mainline tube station 'Colliers Wood'

I am also able to leave my car their whislt attending to business in the city

However currently there are building works and the air conditioning (ventilation) TV and kettle were all not working and there was no suitable breakfast facilities.

I did get a 50% reduction on my room rate on check out, which was appropriate, but I will not use a again until the building works are complete

Firstly i would like to say that the staff are excellent at this hotel. The location is great and will be superb when the renovations are completed.
They are completing a full refurbishment of the hotel whch will be finished by September 2012. I had a sneak peak of the new bedrooms which are fantastic modern spacious rooms. They are adding an additional increasing the bedrooms. You do need to be patient at the moment as the taff are finding the refurbishment challenging, but one completed it will be great. I would highly reccomend this hotel for business and leisure
