Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a convenient spot close to the subway, perfect for a quick stay after a concert. The rooms were clean and tidy, fitting everything we needed, including our road bikes. However, being on a busy street meant some traffic noise was unavoidable.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The location was convenient with easy access to transport options, but the room faced the road, leading to some expected noise issues. The cleanliness of the rooms was satisfactory, although some amenities like bedside sockets were missing. The room size was a bit small and the lack of temperature control was a drawback.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small but comfortable and well-equipped, although they had a strong bleach smell. The service was exceptional with the staff going above and beyond to make me feel welcome; however, I found it odd that they insisted on keeping a copy of our credit card. The location was truly convenient, just a stone's throw from the tube station with easy access to central London, and surrounded by great amenities. The dining experience was a bit lacking in variety and speed of restocking, but it was free and sufficient for a cozy stay.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room was a bit noisy due to its location next to the street, and it lacked storage space for luggage. On the bright side, the shower facilities were clean, and the bed sheets and pillows were fresh. The breakfast in the morning was nice for a cozy and comfy stay - perfect for my partner's birthday night out. Although I usually prefer more spacious rooms, Holiday Inn Express always delivers excellent services at reasonable prices.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located with easy access to transportation and dining options; however, it was a bit overcrowded. The room, though small, was clean, but the road noise was a downside. The service was friendly and welcoming, making for a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was overall quite pleasant. The rooms were clean and smelled fresh; however, my room on the 2nd floor overlooking Finchley Road was quite noisy at night due to single glazing, and a double-glazed window would have greatly improved the experience. The designed wheelchair user room felt a bit sparse and not cozy for my liking. The air conditioning was stuffy, didn't work properly, and the bolted window didn't help with ventilation.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room, designed for a wheelchair user at the back side away from the busy main road, was spacious but lacked a cozy feel. The service was very helpful and professional, but the breakfast options for kids were limited. The location, though near the tube station and shops, suffered from traffic noise.
The hotel has a great location, close to public transport and various restaurants. The rooms, although small for a family with teens, were clean and facing a courtyard. The service was a mix of friendly and unhelpful staff. The dining experience was decent but with a slow paper system. The location offers easy access to tube stations and chain restaurants.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were quite small, which is common for London, the noise and exhaust fumes made it unbearable to open the window. The cleanliness was subpar with issues like a smelly toilet and stained chair. However, the staff were very accommodating and friendly throughout our stay.
The hotel had some positives like a good breakfast and a convenient location close to the city center, but the rooms were disappointing with cleanliness issues and small size for families. The service was a mix of helpful and unhelpful experiences.
