    The hotel boasts a fantastic location near the Gloucester Road tube station, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The room was small but clean, though the shower pressure could use improvement. Breakfast had a great selection, and the staff were exceptionally friendly, enhancing the overall experience.

    limited space
    small bathroom

    The Holiday Inn provided a seamless check-in experience, allowing early access to my well-maintained and comfortable Double Room. The staff was exceptionally helpful, efficiently assisting with my business needs, including preparing presentation materials without delay. Breakfast featured a diverse selection, including freshly baked pastries, which catered to various dietary preferences.

    The room size was a bit limited, especially with the sofa bed.

    buffet breakfast
    awesome dining
    chill bar
    shower confusion
    minor hindrance

    Oh mate, let’s talk about the breakfast spread! The assorted fruits were a proper treat, and the dining facilities were on point—big up for the buffet! Plus, the bar/lounge area was a cracking spot to chill after a busy day in the city.

    Now, don’t get me wrong, the shower was a bit of head-scratcher at first, but we figured it out eventually. Just a cheeky little hiccup in an otherwise fab stay.

    nice breakfast

    Ideal for a functional stay

    The breakfast was surprisingly good and the staff were polite and helpful during my entire stay which was refreshing in a place like this. I also appreciated having a kettle and a fridge in the room which made it feel a bit more like home when you were away.

    You pay a decent hefty sum but I guess it’s what’s expected for the area.

    Proximity to Gloucester Road tube station makes hopping around Central London a breeze. Each floor has complimentary newspapers, and the shower curtain design smartly avoids water mess.

    Although my room was clean, the corridors had that worn-out look with old carpets and faded wallpaper. The breakfast hot dishes were comically small, leading to long lines for basic items, and the car park often lacked taxis, potentially turning into a hassle for morning travelers. the outdated wardrobe provided barely any space for clothes—if you planned on unpacking, good luck squeezing in your gear. Lastly, it lacked convenient bedside power outlets, which can be annoying when your devices are out of juice.

    Would recommend for resting at all

    Comfortable room, excellent service, with a clean toilet that made our stay enjoyable, while being only a 5-minute walk from Gloucester Road station for easy city exploration.

    Nothing, all was good.

    slow check-in

    The room was clean and had a handy fridge, which made snacking easier during our stay. I loved the cozy seating area in the garden and the peaceful spot by the fountain that was perfect for unwinding. The check-in process could've been quicker, but I still had a good time overall, and I'd recommend it for a decent stay! 😊

    Exceptional, exceptional, exceptional

    I absolutely loved the beautifully remodeled lobby, which created such a welcoming vibe right from the start. The extensive breakfast options were a treat—think full English spread and yummy pancakes! Plus, the in-house Starbucks meant I got my caffeine fix without stepping outside—a total game changer!

    Convenient Location with Great Dining Options

    I appreciated the spacious breakfast buffet that offered a variety of fresh options each morning. The lunch and dinner at Ashburn SW7 had delicious European dishes. Despite the inconvenient room size, the lively neighborhood with local eateries made my stay enjoyable. Consider requesting a room away from the street for a quieter experience.
