Use it as a base but eat elsewhere

Advantages: Good standard Holiday Inn
Disadvantages: Food not great, distance from a train - reliance on buses.

...typical of that of most holiday inns i have stayed. The bed was comfortable, there was a desk, iron and ironing board and i tv with standard channels and some satelite channels - mainly news. The bar - decent range of drinks - the house white wine was pretty good and only £3.50 which i thought was fair considering it was a hotel bar in London. Food - first night we ate at the bar. I had a margerita pizza. What can i say.... well it came it still ...
...but on this occasion i let the staff know and they couldn't do enough for me. The pizza went back and came out 5-6 mins later piping hot. They also brought me another glass of wine free of charge as way of an apology. I'm easily pleased!!! There is another place to eat in the hotel - the main restuarant area where most meals are served buffet style. The food here was actually pretty good, although not sensational. Gym - there is one here and i did ...

Review of Holiday Inn London Brentford Lock, London

If you're young and hip.

Advantages: Location.
Disadvantages: n/a

In my opinion, this hotel suits for young people, especially for people that is passing through London, say from the North to Paris or whoever is to travel through the UK. Or someone that wants to spend more time in London than being in the hotel. The hotel is ideal to drop off your bag, dash and go. The bedroom is lovely, I stayed for the night. Would I stay for the weekend here? Probably no. But the staffs are friendly and it is in a very good ...
...and squeaky. Cheery is what it is but be careful if you are after the London experience, this is not the place to be. But if you're in for the London experience by staying for the hotel for so long and out on the street, then this is the place for you. ...

Review of Ambassadors Hotel in Bloomsbury, London

Ideal for the 02

Advantages: close to 02, good value, comfortable
Disadvantages: run-down area, rushed staff

We stayed here in April while attending an event at the 02. The location is ideal for the O2 - just one stop away on the Jubilee line. It's great when you leave the O2 because most people are heading in the other direction! The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were polite, but seemed very rushed. When we asked for more pillows they never arrived. The breakfast was adequate and as expected. Plenty of cereals, fruit, toast and pastires ...
...the hotel, the area is quite run-down. I wouldn't have been comfortable walking from the tube station to the hotel in the dark on my own. Luckily it is only a short walk away. All in all it wasn't bad for the price, and was ideal as a base for attending events at the O2. ...

Review of Express By Holiday Inn London Royal Docks - Docklands, London

No holiday for me at Holiday Inn

Advantages: Conveniently located, well priced, spotless and comfortable
Disadvantages: No proper restaurant

Holiday Inn - Wandsworth. 1 Trevor has upgraded. Those who know the scrimping and penny-watching that has been part of my character from Scottish schooldays, will know that my regular trips to London all target the cheapest accomodation available. Well, not quite the cheapest - I try to ensure they are flealess, clean and with a bed that accomodates my full frame. Usually Travelodge gets the vote, and I have ladled the praise to them in the past ...
...beat the local Travelodge on price, believe it or not. Well, it was a bit more complicated than that. Members of David Lloyd leisure clubs have (or had until the buy-out) access to members' benefits with other organisations. I don't usually pursue these as you are offered 10% discount, say, off of a full price - which is discounted by 20% everywhere else.! However, this time I discovered that the price offered for the Wandsworth Holiday Inn was ...
