No title - expert review
Following a 5 million refurbishment, this superlatively big hotel offers contemporary style. The exterior doesn't benefit from the enormous Holiday Inn signage, but the views make up for it. In the lobby, the decor strives for hip, and because it doesn't quite make it (there's something too airport ...

Great location! Comfortable and very clean. - user review
Modern hotel, well kept and in an excellent location. Our room looked as if it had been newly furnished. It was clean and comfortable if a little small. Within a block's walk are a Waitrose, Tesco, launderette, Starbucks, Gloucester Road tube station an...

A gigantic high rise hotel in an excellent fairly quiet south Kensington location, very convenient to tube and buses. Rooms somewhat small, bathrooms are tiny. Bring hangers there are about 5 hangers in the closet, housekeeping took forever to scrounge up a few wire hangers! Above the 10th floor, ro...

Can't beat the location, but the rooms are very small and the street noise can be heard through the windows. The staff was the best Ive encountered in London and rates with some of the most helpful Ive ever had at any hotel. This is not a four star, but more like a three star hotel with a big smiley...

I guess one just has to lower expectations for a London hotel. You can't expect an equivalent level of luxury expected of an American hotel at that star rating and price. It was clean, the staff was ok, but the rooms were tiny and...

I liked the hotel. It was the best hotel I have stayed in London. Nevertheless, I believe the star rating system for London hotels does not compare to us standards. A 2 and 1/2 hotel in the us is a lot better than a three stars hotel in London,...

I was quite excited. But, the hotel did not live up to expectations. The holiday inn forum in London, however, feels like little more than an adequate and comfortable, but hardly luxurious, hotel with quite tiny rooms. True, the concierge helped direct me to where I needed to go, but the all night n...

It took two room switches to get one that was not missing part of the room. First room had no air conditioning (they claimed it was because of renovations.)

Large hotel, 27 floors, that for the price was perfect. The location was ideally located close to the center of London, but with easy access to the airport.

Nice big and clean lobby, but a mediocre basic room. Cramped with a double bed dresser and tiny TV. A sandwich in the lobby was good; the same sandwich served by room service was not so great.

Only in London could this be considered an upscale hotel. The room was tiny only 1 1/2 feet between corner of bed and side chair. Two people would have been very cramped spending any time together in the room. On the other hand the bed was large and reasonably comfortable and the side chair had a go...

While the hotel is not bad, it has the same characteristics that most European (old Europe) hotels: they receive (or give themselves) four stars when they would not get three in any country of the Americas (especially in Latin America).

You can get to a large number of London locations without having to ever change a train which is better than many other hotels in London.
