This hotel is ideally situated for access to Oxford street. Unfortunately the rooms and general interior have been left to deteriorate. We were at first offered a ground floor en-suite which was accessed through a hall which looked tired and smelt old. The room was no different with chipped paint and grubby carpet. The en-suite had mold around the bath and flaking paint on the ceiling. Complaining, we were offered a room on the second floor. The outlook was similar but due to the position gave a better impression. The mattress and pillows were hard and did not promise a good nights sleep. The only saving grace was the breakfast which was fresh with attentive and helpful staff where nothing seemed too much trouble.

"The staff were excellent,excluding the bar persons."

The cleaners were a pleasure,the reception staff and all in the restaurant were very good. The bar staff did not seem as professional ,did not recognise the different types of wine,or the fact that beers and lagers to be at their best ,need to be served in branded glasses

"Holiday Inn- Oxford Circus "

Started badly by being given a room that stank of cigarette smoke. Quickly changed to cleaner room. Rooms a little tired and in need of refurbish. Great location, easy to reach sites and shopping!

We were very pleased with the location of the hotel and the twin bed room we had requested. We noted that the number of toiletries had reduced - no shower cap or body lotion etc. Only dispensers in bathroom and shower. We rather rather disappointed in this being a four star hotel. Breakfast was very good, a variety of hot and cold food with efficient and helpful service

"Holiday Inn Oxford Circus"

What a fabulous experience. The gentleman on reception was so accommodating and as we were there for my Mother-In-Laws 70th Birthday we received complimentary champagne to top off a lovely stay

"Would have preferred not to have been so near lift and doors, quite noisy"

Very good location for our plans. Room bit tired, stain on carpet in bedroom, bathroom could do with an upgrade. Comfortable bed. Would have been a nice gesture to have complimentary bottled water in room. Very minimal on toiletries even though they could be requested. Good welcome at reception and good breakfast. Great to be able to leave luggage. We would stay again.

Had to wait one and half hours for our room as it was not cleaned in time. However we were given a voucher for the inconvenience whilst waiting. Staff friendly and helpful, room was lovely and clean.

"Great location"

The location couldnt have been better for us , being so near to two tube stations and a short taxi ride from Euston. Beds were very comfortable and room was average size. Bathroom was very small and has been given a cheap facelift but leaving gaps around the bath etc which should be finished off. Shower was very slow. No hook or towel rails, just one hook on the door and a very high up storage rail for clean towels whcih is not much use when you have just washed your hands. Air conditioning unit is very noisy. There was a tea/coffee tray but with Uht milk not even the fresh packaged milf and no biscuits. Basically this is a room which gets away with the bare minimum. A bit of attention to detail would lift a room like this from the vaguely frumpy to a great standard. Breakfast was lovely, in a basement room but it was light and sunny and the food was very good. We had an OK stay but it was mainly the location.

"Good for Central London not so for food."

While it is in a good location being in the road behind Debenhams in oxford street the hotel is let down by food choice and what is offered. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially on arrival changing our 4th floor room to ground floor as my wife does not like lifts. The room was nice and clean but lacked no form of heating in the bathroom. No water or biscuits were available in the room. There was ear plugs in the room this was because of the motors for air conditioning was outside the bedroom window The menu said roast chicken with chips and salad for dinner it turned out to be chicken leg with a pepper sauce over it and a few bits of salad to the side. It would be cheaper and better to go to one of the many restaurants in the area like near the London palladium.

"Great location."

Really enjoyed our stay. Rooms were clean and warm. Staff were helpful especially the concierge. Tea and coffee in the room were very welcome at the end of a long day in London. Good restaurants within easy walking distance. We ate in Zizzi and Giraffe. We loved St Christopher`s Square for coffee and breakfast. John Lewis`s roof garden was very special.

"Good Location Great Hotel"

We have stayed here a couple of times. This time I forgot to book breakfast in advance but this wasn`t an issue as I paid for it on arrival which is still cheaper than paying after. Parking can be an issue but I managed to get almost right outside this time. The local pay by phone parking stops at 6.30pm so after that its free. The rooms we have had here have always been clean and functional and the shower even equipped with Dove Shower gel so you don`t need to take your own if you don`t want to. Breakfast is nicely presented and the Full English Buffet was good.

The restaurant staff were rude. I complained to manager I was offered a free upgrade on my next visit I declined. I don`t rate the customer service in this hotel. The room was very small the sheets were marked. We were woken at midnight as someone was attempting to get into our room I rang reception and they did attend to that. All in all I would not stay at this hotel again I feel the 4star rating is inappropriate for this hotel.

"Terrible night. Aircon not working and no solution provided"

We stayed at the hotel for one night and the aircon did not work in the room. I reported the issue to the receptionist on the front desk and she did not have any suggestions of how to improve our stay. In addition she did not seem too bothered by the situation.

"Disappointing"

Room very cold as radiator not working for some reason. A member of staff brought us an electric heater which warmed up the room. The next day the radiator worked! Shower didn`t work and we couldn`t be bothered to tell them. At check out a young trainee girl didn`t say one word to us and rudely answered the phone while she was dealing with us, although there was other members on the reception available. Didn`t even ask if we had enjoyed our stay!
