Although I don't think this should really be a 4 star rated hotel as Priceline claims it to be, it was a great value for London. We stayed there for a week booked through Priceline, and didn't witness any of the problems some other views have mentioned. There was never much of a wait at the front desk and never... More

I spent one night at the Holiday Inn last week with my daughter who was performing at a high profile event in London.

My cousin picked the hotel from previous stays - she felt safe in the neighbourhood, it was close to the tube, it was clean and decent price. I trusted her, and she did not lead me astray. We were in a twin-bedded room (I learned the hard way that a hotel's double room is a double bed in a room,... More

After an overnight trip from Toronto, we were happy to be able to check in early. The hotel is perfectly situated, just minutes away from the Gloucester Rd Tube station on the Piccadilly line. direct from Heathrow. Restaurants and even a grocery store were close by. Concierge advice for sightseeing was prompt, complete and valuable. Room was modern, and completely... More

My wife and I booked a Thursday and Friday night in the hotel and found it very convenient as a location. It is a very busy hotel with a mixture of business people, tourists ( like ourselves ) and airline staff. The staff were very helpful, breakfast was good, and the room acceptable.
