The University of London is a major neighbouring site and some of
the shops and services around seem more consistent with a student
population than main stream tourists at the Holiday Inn.
The Holiday Inn has pretty standard rooms you get in any chain hotel
nowadays, the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury particularly often has good deals
on family rooms.
The hotels has the normal conference/business facilities, health club,
restaurants, bars, car hire desks etc. you would expect at a large
chain hotel.
There are many other similar grade, large 3/4 star hotels in the Russell
Square vicinity, most of them Victorian era palaces with modern amenities,
a big difference from the concrete block Holiday Inn Bloomsbury. You
will find these on our Bloomsbury
Hotels page.
Typical
Customer Reviews
Below are some fairly typical reviews from customers that have stayed
at the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury. They are independent viewpoints and
not necessarily the view of this web site.
"The hotel is a standard Holiday Inn like any other, the room
was a bit tired but clean, served it purpose well - it did what it
said on the tin!!!
Breakfast
a plus point as it never ends - buffet, always a seat when you need
one. Very efficent staff at the hotel.Will
use again, if possible to get a bigger room."
"The
hotel staff were very gracious, and were always willing to help. One
front desk employee gave us directions to restaurants, an internet
cafe, without suggesting we use the overpriced internet in the hotel
lobbey. Some of the front desk staff had Eastern European Accents,
but they were very understandable.
The
location of the hotel was excellent, being so close to the Russell
Square station. We'd never been to Europe, but found it very easy
to take the Piccadilly line from Heathrow to the hotel. The oyster
cards are great, but make sure to compare the cost of the day or week
travelcard, it would have saved us some money.
Because
we were staying over a week, the hotel upgraded us to a larger room
with a couch, which was nice considering we booked hotwire. I would
describe that room as being of average size for a one bed room in
North America, so I imagine the regular rooms are tight by North American
standards, but probably quite comfortable nonetheless.
My
only two complaints were that the elevator service seemed a bit spotty,
and the fire-alarm went off at ~5AM one morning. That's not the hotel's
fault, but it would have been nice if they'd acknowledged it/apologized
for the inconvenience. "
"We
booked for 4 nights and specifically asked for a non-smoking room.
I called twice before traveling, just to make sure that the room was
guaranteed a non-smoking one. Upon our arrival in the room, it was
stinking cigarette smoke, tried to change but was told it may be the
same in other rooms. It was hard to get some sleep during the night
the cigarette smell was so strong and the windows could not be open.
Also
something to be watchful about, the minibar. It was missing few items
and we thought that these were missing due to supply shortage. However
at our surprise, on check-out day they were charged on our bill. I
had to insist that we had not used the minibar and they accepted to
remove the charges."
Stayed as we were going to a party in central london and didn't fancy
facing the night bus. Ended up checking in after the party in the
early hours of sunday morning (5am) and the staff were amazing at
reception, offered us a late check out till 2pm without charge.
The room was clean and spacious and the bathroom was spotless (very
important wherever you stay). will def stay again as also is close
to kings cross and a short journey into london's west end.
