Great location for access to London. More suitable for business with easy access to Heathrow Shame about the 2.40am alarm

Stuart, United Kingdom

Room size ok. Comfortable bed Quiet,relaxing. Nice neighbourhood . Close to Gloucester Road station. Worked out well.

Alan, Australia

Very clean. Lovely staff. The hotel has thought of everything from hairdryer, iron, nice bath to easy to find light switches, air con that works, magnifying mirror in the bathroom, nice clean quality towel. It had everything that is good for a woman business traveller like me. Location is excellent too as it is near Metro down a well-lit street.

Rose, Ireland

My room was very cosy large double bed, had everything I required, mini fridge, t.v., large bed, charging ports, air conditioning, nice size bathroom even had a pull out sofa bed., very helpful staff on arrival and helped me with my case to my room. Even had water and chocolate brought to my room when I changed around. The whole of Crowell road Theres plenty of restaurants and places to visit. There is also a seating area outside the holiday inn where you can sit and see the planes landing at Heathrow. There's a on site Starbucks and also a nice place to eat within the hotel itself .

Emma, United Kingdom

눉Rooms was smaller than I’d normally expect, mini bar fridge wasn’t stocked, toiletries were not great standard. The one annoyance of the trip was that my husband and I were staying with our little boy to visit family so we took it in turns to stay in with him in the evening (I went out for dinner, then my husband went out for drinks) therefore I was looking forward to a film in the room in the evening. I asked reception to activate the movie channel only to be told they were in the middle of renewing the contract and so nothing was available and only the regular channels were on the tv.
눇Good central location, great for those looking for all the main museums and Hyde park, Royal Albert Hall etc

“London 2018”

눉I don't sleep much and traversed the lobby late into the night. I purchased 2 breakfasts, but had my first one in the Business Lounge instead of the Forum, so I guess I should have been more careful by reading the notification in the elevator (reading MORE better, lol). Not anyone's fault, but a loud alarm sound woke everyone up around 8am because of the heavy rain or someone smoking in their room. Also, the early morning staff did not think I was a guest there and aggressively asked if they could 'Can we help you with something'? A HUGE turnoff... Also, I had a moment with a member of your staff detailing the morning of my departure. It involved shuttle service facilitated through concierge to Heathrow for 15-25 pounds (the printed brochures). I could have really used it since taxi eventually cost 65+ pounds! I noticed him (Zak) assist other people with their bags and asked him a question about the shuttle service. It turned out he was doing me a huge favor because he wasn't even working yet he informed me very much seemingly annoyed while physically pointing to a clock. Diligently (as he was not on the clock yet) he attempted to assist me with shuttle service by saying I did not qualify because I had filled out the brochure paperwork incorrectly by stating the wrong time? Since it was my first time in the UK and Europe for that matter, I was under the impression I must be the Stupidest Person Alive for not knowing how I did not qualify for this service. Here I thought I was doing the property a Big favor by booking shuttle at 6am, yet needing it at 2pm (8 hrs). Turns out before taxi pickup around 2pm, thanks for very late check-out service, the REAL concierge service provided proper explanation why Zak would be unable to facilitate such a transaction. Made sense to The Stupidest Person alive, I guess.
눇My stay overall was extremely pleasant and the vast majority of your staff is both exceedingly polite and overall of the exceptional variety. Many thanks to the late check-out time (my flight to Seoul was late - 9pm). I cannot get over how well organized and clean your property is and how comfortable my stay was because of this! In my mind, this property rates as a 5-star property back in the States and I would definitely put it up there with some really great Vegas propperties (Wynn, Bellagio and Venetian) so cheers as HI back home normally rate 3-3.5 Stars at best throughout the USA. Holiday Inn in Central London was amazing and I would definitely enjoy a return visit someday as I LOVED London! Diverse, accepting of diversity and accommodating, the city itself has become a Mecca of civilization in my eyes. I never get to discuss the fine details of EPL back home because everyone loves American Football and hates (soccer). Many thanks to your staff again, you made my short trip to London a truly memorable one. Cheers!
