"Clean, good service, comfortable and modern. Highly recommend."

Good room rate, especially this close to Christmas. A shame the pool facilities were at an extra charge but staff were helpful and friendly & leisure facilities were good. We really enjoyed our stay & highly recommend the family room.

"Reasonable price. Good location. Well appointed"

Good central location. Care has been taken in room furnishing, including sofa and desk. Clean, sound proofed, air conditioned. Breakfast provision rather stretched by the number of guests and expensive. Cheaper to eat out. Good 10m swimming pool, jaccusi and other sports facilities. No children before 8.30am or after 6.30pm. Sensible!

I can thoroughly recommend this hotel. Signing in was easy, taxis easy to get as they are outside the front door. The evening meal and breakfast were excellent. We enjoyed being able to sit in the bar after returning from the show we went to. We had two huge double beds in our room which were very comfortable and the whole room had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to anyone.

"A night of noise and cigarette smoke"

Our room had a door linking it to the adjoining room. A door is not as soundproof as a wall and we were next to a loud family with very lively children. We could hear every word, scream, shout and bang and this went on until midnight and restarted at 6.30 a.m. On checking in, we had been told that the hotel was full so realised that there would be no point asking to move rooms. We tried to ignore the noise but couldn`t to sleep until our neighbours had retired. We could smell cigarette smoke coming from the internal doorway. We were shocked to be told that the adjoining room was a smoking room, even though it is obvious that smoke travels through the doorway. I am surprised that the Holiday Inn chain expect their guests to pay to be exposed to potentially harmful cigarette smoke and that no one had anticipated this problem. Our stay was uncomfortable and far from relaxing. A word of warning to anyone who doesn`t like lifts.....there are no stairs from the reception area to the floors!

"Room for improvement "

On arrival our room was not ready. So we put our luggage into the left luggage room and advised the reception staff that we would be back late. We were advised to come back to reception and collect our key. However when we git back we had not been checked in and the process took about half an hour. It was after 1pm and we were cold and tired. Once we had our key we had to collect our luggage. Once again the staff members dealing with this were not on hand. Another delay. Our TV welcome message had the wrong name. The TV remote was not working well. The drainage in the bath was poor. Room for improvement.

"Fantastic Weekend Break"

The Holiday Inn Kings Cross was a fantastic base to explore London, everything within walking distance and the rooms and service were fantastic, the pool and Jacuzzi just the thing after a long day walking. Great for adults and kids alike. Although refurbishment going on was still perfect. Highly recommended.

"Cold showers, long queue for breakfast "

Hotel is in a great location within easy walking distance of Oxford st, Mayfair etc. However cold showers first morning due to boiler break down. Second issue was the queue for breakfast, this meant a 30 min wait due to hotel being full i.e hotel couldn`t cope! Not impressed for the price you pay!!

"Very comfortable, really friendly staff."

Great hotel, even though they were going through a re-ferb we still found it to be a very good place to stay. One tiny niggle- only one out of three lifts working, probably connected to the work being carried out, otherwise great.

Our toliet in our room didn`t work (which was a newly refurbished room) the resturant for breakfast seemed dirty and very crowed with large que for breakfast. We had to pay to use the dirty swimming pool and the jacuzzi didn`t even have water in it. The hotel was under a refurbishment so I was expecting there to be some disruption but they clearly had far too many guests staying. They should keep the rest of the hotel in a standard of which you would expect it usually to be we wouldn`t stay again even once the refurbish has be done. Felt really let done.

"Fire Alarm in the middle of the Night"

"Not relaxing in the slightest!!"

Check in went fine, after that it was fault upon fault. We were in a family room for 4 guests, we had 2 bath towels, 3 tea cups, 2 glasses, the only thing we had 4 of was tea bags. We only had power to one side of the room, including lights. At on point we couldn`t get the lift to reception because the only lift that was stopping on the 5th floor only didn`t stop at reception. But by far the most annoying part was the the fire alarm going off at 03:20am and 6 more times between 07:00am and 08:00am. Overall a very frustrating stay.

"Great stay"

There are renovations going on so a little noisy in the morning but we were Aware of that. The room was small for a family room but lovely and clean. Breakfast was great, the staff were very polite and helpful. The kids loved the pool. A good 10 min walk from Kings Cross but wasn`t too bad as weather was nice. we would recommend this hotel.
