Holiday Inn Bloomsbury Hotel

Booked online and got it for £65 per night weekend rate for two of us, breakfast included. The room was small, but looked recently decorated. The buffet breakfast was great. Russel Square tube is only a couple of minutes away and the area is quite nice. Covent Garden is only two tube stops away. I've paid more than this a few times for worse rooms, in worse locations in London.

We had a 3-day city trip to London in January 2006. We booked the Holliday-Inn Bloomsbury through their website which was quite convenient. The location of the hotel fantastic, in a quite area, nearby the tube station Russel Square from where you can reach all attractions within a few minutes. The room was in the typical Holliday-Inn style, which is clean with all comfort you need, but rather small. We did not take breakfast in the hotel because this was not included in the price and was too expensive (18 £ per... more

My friend and I stayed at this hotel for 6 nights and enjoyed our stay here. Having stayed in other hotels in Europe, we found the room to be bigger than what we expected. The room and bathroom were clean. The shower provided good water pressure and plenty of hot water. We had booked a non-smoking room with a double bed to take advantage of an internet special, but when we arrived we asked if we could have 2 twin beds instead. The hotel was able to grant us our request. The staff was helpful and able to assist us with whatever we... more

We got a discounted rate through Priceline and it was a great bargain. The staff were friendly, and accommodated our request for a twin-bedded, non-smoking room. The room looked like it had been newly refurbished. There was a slight oversight in that there was only one wine glass (we could have asked for two, had we any wine), but it was real crystal. The bathroom was fine. Amenities could have been improved a bit, as the soap is available from a dispenser and is to be used for hands, face, body, and hair. If this is important to you, bring... more

If you like souless, 70's built hotels with views over the courtyard that house air-conditioning units then this place is for you. We had a "basic" room that could have been a bad advert for MFI. Previous reviews mention refurbishment but the place looked tarnished. Breakfast was a fine line between Full English Breakfast or Greasy Joe's cafe ! They boast about the pillow menu but when I asked for No.4 as replacement they told me they had none left. Pros. The room was clean enough. The cleaning maids are nice and friendly.<br... more

stayed at the holiday inn bloomsbury for one night and found all the other reviews very helpful when making my choice. I agree with all the reviews regarding the hotel, friendly helpful staff, very good location for all sightseeing, very good breakfast, rooms very clean, we asked for extra milk and was given a jug full of milk. irish bar very good with good menu relativly cheap. We booked through ---- and paid £79 for one night's stay. Along with the voucher we also recieved a leaflet which had discount for various attractions in... more

First the good news. Location is great, short walk away from Russell Square tube. 10 or so minute walk to Kings Cross. Tesco Metro (supermarket) opposite the tube station so all your needs looked after. Check in ============ OK. They have a special desk for Priority Club members. The lady at the desk was more interested in the person who was on the phone. Not much warmth or engagement with me. Double checked that I had got the room I had booked as I didn't want to end up in a smoking room. I have stayed at this... more

good clean hotel we stayed with the kids they had a pull out sofa bed , the room and bathroom were clean and a good size . breakfast very nice with a large choice would stay again

Having read some mediocre reviews here, I was a little uneasy about the one night we had reserved (via Priceline) for two rooms. It being my mother's 60th birthday, I had called the hotel in advance to confirm room requests and was assisted by a very helpful young woman who pre-assigned our adjacent requested room types. Check-in was smooth; even though we were hours early, one of our rooms was ready so we could leave our bags and go off, happily knowing our other room would be ready upon our return. No mention was made of Priceline as... more

I stayed 4 days at the Holiday Inn Bloomsbury and have no complaints. The room I had was large by English standards. The room was clean and my room was quiet except for the elevator as I had a room near the elevator. It wasn't enough of an issue for me to request a room change. I ate breakfast at the restaurant and it was good but not cheap. The price for the breakfast was about 13 Pounds Sterling which I found average for London hotels. I found a good number of restaurants a couple Tesco's within easy walking distance. I ate at... more
