Holiday Inn Kings Cross Reviews

Not bad hotel for central london but a bit pricey seeing it is not really near a train station, unless you fancy a walk. Much better hotels around that are more central and have better facilities for the same price.
Can't believe there wasn't even an iron in the room as standard and god knows where they bought their tvs from and dont think they have heard of flat screens.
Nice friendly staff though but wouldn't go back

After staying at this Holiday Inn I regretted recently throwing out my cumbersome non-flat screen tv as i should've donated it to this hotel. Not only was it tiny and cumbersome but even my ancient tv had better viewing quality. It was an interesting artefact for my 10 year old, on the other hand, who might have enjoyed it if only to distract him from freezing in a room where the heating wasn't working. Nonetheless there was a kind handyman to give us some tlc and a spare heater. Fortunately we stuffed ourselves with some not too bad food as despite our most valiant efforts we were unable to pierce the rolls given to us at breakfast (which hopefully post dated the tv). By then we were too weary to call for the handyman (for a hammer perhaps?) and forlornly joined the heaving crowds at the lift for our 15 minute journey down to check out (no, we didn't take the stairs) but finally managed to escape after docilely paying our almost £250 bill. Fortunately my son is still oblivious to such terms as 'value for money'!

We often go to London for gigs or social evenings and use Late Rooms to find an economic place to stay. This time we hit the jackpot. Not only did we get a good rate for the room but what a room.; clean, nicely decorated, comfortable furniture, sheets not too strachy and stiff - just right. The bath was big enough for me to have a comfortable soak and the shower powerful enough for a quick wash. I loved the lighting: primarily lamps and ambient light rather than in-you-face overhead bright lights. I'm definetly going to search out Holiday Inn for bargains in the future.

I am very suprised it is rated a 4star. The room was very small for a family the tea/coffee facilities were extremely poor, the bathroom was not very clean. I would not recommend this hotel
