Holiday Inn Oxford Circus - Thank God for internet deals. We booked to stay for 3 nights at the Holiday Inn Oxford Circus in March for my dad's 60th birthday, as we treated him to a trip to London. We booked over the internet - a double room and a twin room - £90 per room... more

Nothing Special
Convenient location just off Oxford Street. Hotel room ok but a little dated and needs brightening up. Corridors like out of the 1970's ! Just an ordinary hotel, really no better (and less modern) than an average Travel Inn. Should be fine if you're just looking for a base and not paying too much. The rack rate is absolutely extortionate ! Didn't have breakfast - plently of little cafes around and alot cheaper.
OverRated 4 stars!!
We were apprehensive initally after reading the reviews but went for it anyway. Looked great fr the outside but very grumpy looking front desk and a pathetic concerige service! A very small room and desperately needed a complete makeover. Water marks are so visible on ceiling and wall. Will not recommend this hotel at all.
Avoid
With my other normal choices in the West End sold out, I ventured into the Holiday Inn. Whilst the hotel is in a great location it seriously need some investment. The room I had was tatty to say the least, the linen was worn, paint flakey, dirty towels, bathroom still dirty from the previous occupant etc. I could have lived with all that if my room didn't vibrate whenever anyone in the entire hotel flushed their toilet. It did seem like the entire plumbing for the hotel ran over my room and as I say, it vibrated, banged, moaned and creaked all night. Whilst I wasn't expecting a 5 star experience, I was hoping for more. I couldn't leave fast enough and in a first I was checked out by a member of staff who didn't manage to say one word to me - an invoice was passed on return for my key, I signed and I was away without a word being spoken. As a business traveller I spend over 100 nights away in London and this place was my last resort - suggest it's yours as well
Very enjoyable stay..................
Had a 1 night stay to see a West End show. 2 minute walk from/to the Bond Street underground. Just behind Debenhams. Very pleasant accommodating staff who sorted out a little problem i had very quickly. Never ate at the hotel as, recommended by a previous Trip Advisor reviewer, turn right from hotel entrance,right again at the corner and just around the bend on the right is an excellent cafe that does a fab full english breakfast for £4.99. You are able to walk to Regent street and the tube will take you all over London for the day. price per person per ticket £4.90. Am staying for 2 nights in December. 06
Central location - but a bit tatty
Central location (it's just a block or two north of Oxford Street) is the best thing about this hotel. Otherwise, it needs some investment to bring it up to standard. Our double room was small and claustrophic with a tiny window overlooking local rooftops. Bathroom door wouldn't shut. Decor was somber. On the plus side: good shower, hard working staff and a good, fresh breakfast. You can usually get a good deal on the Holiday Inn website - but the chain has better hotels in London (notably the Mayfair one)
Nice and Friendly Hotel 3 minutes from Oxford Street
Stayed in this Holiday Inn for a weekend break in London. The hotel staff were very friendly. The room was a double room and small by double room standards but it was clean and the decor in the rooms were fine. The hotel is about a 3 minute walk from Oxford street. Its situated in a quiet street so you should be guaranteed to get a good nights sleep. The hotel is close to Bond Street Station (3 minute walk) or Oxford Street Station (4 minute walk ). Overall I would definetly recommend this hotel especially if you want a location near Oxford Street for shopping. The hotel is nothing fancy as Holiday Inns arent the Ritz but it was clean. Also, another reviewer mentioned on the site [--] which gives you free entry when paying for 1 adult and travelling by train. I would defintely recommend this site. We bought two day passes for the underground and printed off the vouchers for the Tower of London and London Dungeons and only paid for 1 adult at each of these attractions after showing our train tickets. Just FYI the Tower of London did ask to see the train tickets as the other reviewer mentioned that they were not asked but it depends upon which attendant you get at the attractions !
Good Location but needs a refurbishment
Stayed here for 3 nights mid week at £139 a night including breakfast. Was definitely not worth the money but the location was spot on. The room itself was very "tired" - walls looked stained and old. The bathroom was good though and clean. The walls were paper thin as could hear the lady next to me on the phone every night at midnight discussing the show she saw! Breakfast was ok! Wouldnt recommend it
Clean and comfortable
Our double room was clean and large enough to be comfortable. The bathroom was also very clean and a good size. Our room had air conditioning that we could control - great! The windows were double glazed, so no street noise. We booked through a Holiday Autumn break advert in a national newspaper, the deal included 2 nights bed and breakfast and one night 3 course meal. The hotel were not aware of the offer when we checked in. We only got the evening meal because we had a copy of the original email booking. Overall a good hotel for sightseeing in London, clean, quiet and a good central location (5 min walk from Bond Street Tube station).
Excellent Location
This hotel is in an excellent location for that trip to London. It is just a few mins walk from Bond Street tube station on Oxford Street, so it is ideal for shops and travelling around. If you are flying in to Stansted airport - the stansted express train goes as far as liverpool street station, where you can change for a tube directly to bond street. The hotel itself was good, not luxurious by any means, but with all the facilities you would need- the rooms air conditioning works well, there are tea and coffee making facilities, tv with options to watch movies, play playstation games etc, safe, good size wardrobe etc. The room was clean and well-kept. We didn't experience any noise problems like some other reviewers, but perhaps we didn't have any neighbours when we stayed! The hotel, although it is very central, is also quiet and we didn't experience any traffic noise etc which can be annoying in large cities like London. Breakfast is expensive if it isn't included in your room rate, but there are lots of cafes in the nearby side streets, and on Oxford street so you have alternatives nearby. There are left luggage facilities if you need them on check-out and it seemed to be securely provided. All in all we enjoyed our stay in this hotel and would recommend it to anyone looking for a central location for their stay - it is great value for money, and we would definitely stay here again.
Great location, "tired" hotel, smileless staff.
What was good: Location (especially for shopping and for Marylebone-area). Room size was ok. It was quite silent; I slept well (but the walls are very thin). Climatization worked. There was plenty of towels in the bathroom and it was clean (but a bit old). There is a free electronical safe in the room. Lobby and a litte bar in it was ok. The breakfast was decent. What was not so good: The stuff was not friendly (actually unfriendly, with some exceptions though). The front desk made a mistake in the room number, tryed to bill another persons bill, and then was angry on me, asking why I told them a wrong number at first place... In the evening the lobby and the corridors had a strong food smell. The rooms are worn down.The first room I had, had the carpet shampoed, so it smelled awful, and when I took my shoes of, the carpet was totally wet. The next room was dry, but one of the three sliding doors to the closet was missing.
