We LOVED the check in staff! Zalika did a wonderful job communicating when our room was ready as we needed to check in early! The entire staff was so kind and we would definitely stay again if we came to London! The location is maybe a three minute walk to the London Underground Piccadilly line which took us mostly everywhere we wanted!

I was so disappointed. I've stayed at quite a few Holiday Inns in the past and was always happy with my stay. However, I found the lobby stuffy and unenviting. We ordered ice cream for dessert and for the ridiculously high price, the quality of the ice cream was poor. I was surprised that this location did not offer "free breakfast". I will not recommend this location.

The rooms were ok, two elevators were down at the same time for a few days which was a bit inconvenient. There should be different options for breakfast packages if you don’t offer free breakfast. We don’t all eat large portions so if there were cheaper packages for smaller options of food that would be better. Most staff were friendly enough.
