"Overnight Theatre Break"

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Kings Cross last weekend on a trip to London to see a west end show. The hotel was great, room furnished really well, lovely large shower in the bathroom and clean throughout. We used the spa which was also really nice, you had to pay a fee of £3.50 each for the visit but didn`t think this was too bad as you weren`t limited to a timescale. We didn`t have any of the food while staying in the hotel so can`t comment on that. The hotel isn`t in the greatest area and takes 15min to walk to the nearest tube station, but once you are inside the hotel it is fine. Overall we enjoyed a really nice trip to London.

Reception and reception staff - excellent Room (newly refurbished - top class Facilities good - felt that use of the Leisure facilities and pool should have been included as well as breakfast. Neither included in this package and additional charges were required.

"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.
