Holiday Inn London Camden Lock Hotel

We stayed at holliday inn camden lock for 3 nights. The room was very spacious compared to average british hotel standards. Nice clean bathroom with a tub. The surronding area goes from beautiful to wouldnt go there alone a dark night. Between the hotel and the tube station there are alot of gothand punk type of shops with the accompanying sort of people, and if you´re not used to this type of crowd that might make you feel uncomfortable. But I never once felt unsafe in the area. The breakfast buffet was great it had a... more

Stayed at the hotel, on business during September 2006. The hotel is only 5 mins from Camden Tube station which makes it easy to commute into the city for business or a night on the town (£10 taxi from Leicester Square). At the rear of the hotel there are several shops and bars around the canal / locks. These are nice area for a relaxing afternoon, away from the hussle and bustle on Camden High Street. I have stayed in numerous London hotels, however this was my first visit to this particular hotel. I was very happy with the... more

I stay here regularly on business.The hotel is relatively new and purpose built. As such, the rooms are a good size, standard Holiday Inn, rather than converted from previous use. The staff are friendly and room service is reasonably priced. There are a number of restaurants nearby. Camden is out of the central zone to the North. The tube station is 5 mins walk from the hotel and there is a bus service. Camden has long been a "bohemian" area in london and the main street has a famous clothing market. It does have a drugs scene and is not... more

I stayed here with my mum over the August bank holiday weekend and had a great stay. Our room was large and clean and the bed was so comfy! The bathroom too more than lived up to expectations with both a bath and a great shower. In addition, we had a balcony which was completely unexpected and gave us a great view over the Lock. The bar downstairs was a great place to relax and the staff were really friendly - asking how we were, giving advice as to where to go out to etc. We also got a free newspaper and breakfast was included -... more

You know, if you were to hunt back over my previous reviews in TripAdvisor, you'd find that I'm starting to sound like an old grumpy man. Pretty much every review begins with my description of my shoulders slumping and the depressed sigh as soon as I've entered most of the £100-a-night London hotels (excluding breakfast, of course). The feeling of "Is that IT ?!" as soon as you walk in most London hotel rooms is enough to put me off returning to the capital. It's a relief to finally be able to praise a London hotel. The... more

knowing some hotels in london we did not expect too much. But we were positively surprised. The rooms are spacious (for London standards), bathroom clean, everything fine. We did not have breakfast, so I dont know anything about it. The Hotel is located in the middle of Camden, just around the corner are all the little shops of Camden Lock, pubs and restaurants are just a block away (one is opposite the hotel). Short walk (about 5 minutes to the next underground station (Camden Town), Leicester Square Area within 15 minutes by... more

The hotel is located right off the main thoroughfare, backing onto the canal. The hotel is very clean, quite modern and the staff are friendly. Our room itself was on the smallish side, but it had nice full size window/door that fully opened. Our room had one queen size bed, but we saw inside other rooms that had two queen size beds. All the amenities were there (ironing board, dryer, TV with a few channels and some crappy old movies on Pay-per-view, coffee machine, cream soap dispenser next to bathroom sink, body gel/soap dispenser in... more

My wife and I stayed here on the Thursday and Friday, May 11 and 12. We had read the reviews and prepared ourselves for quite a threatening area but had no need to worry. Although it is wise to be cautious in any location, the Thursday and Friday late nights were fine and there was a good mix of people on the streets. We were given a room (417) overlooking the lock which we loved as it had two glass door which opened fully to allow us to sit and relax with the view down below. During the day, the markets were very interesting with a... more

Stayed at the Camden In over the weekend of 5,6,7 May 06. The hotel is very new and is right on the canal beside Camden Lock. The hotel staff were friendly and the facilities modern and very new. The room was clean and spacious and offered a room safe, trouser press, ironing board, coffee facilities and pay per view movies. The hotel is very close to several trendy pubs right on the canal. The area of Camden around the hotel is very 'Bohemian' but there is rougher edge to it, and I would not recommend it after dark to families are... more

Nice hotel, if a bit apprehensive when we got off the tube as to what type of area we were in. HOWEVER, I felt totally fine walking through the Market and Lock and Saturday by myself. Take my advice wander round the markets, get some food for one of the stalls and watch the canal boats pass by, you wouldn't think you where in the middle of a city. Hotel itself was fine, nice rooms, even provided me with a toothbrush when I realised I had forgotten mine. Would definately stay again.
