What a dreadful experience. It may be cheap but for what its offers it needs to be much much cheaper.

My tiny, dingy room stank of cigarette smoke (no non smoking rooms available). The staff were rubbish and the breakfast buffet had been cleaned out of food long before we arrived.

The neighbourhood is full of bars and the streets are full of seriously drunk people past midnight. It doesn't feel particularly safe and the street noise kept us awake in our 4th floor room well past 3am.

The hotel is seriously basic and did not have the twin room I had booked. This meant that I was given a 'sofa bed'. This is not a bed and is the most uncomfortable thing I have ever been unfortunate enough to lie down on. It came with no sheets, blankets or pillows. Just a filthy old sofa that folds out in 2 pieces. Neither of which is big enough to lie down on.

Seriously awful place. Stay away!

Never Again

I chose this hotel because of its strategic location. After check in , they kindly put me in the second floor facing the Old Street. All through the night, a Friday night, I could hear groups of drunken people passing by and almost seemed like I was at the middle of an International Drunken Festival. In addition to that every now and then a police car ,an ambulance ,a fire truck were rushing pass by my head to show their existents. This was how I enjoy my first night in the lovely city of London, apart from my jet lagged effect.

The next days I demand changing of my room to the top floor and on the opposite site. It was quite alright except I found out later on that I could not use the wifi as they advertise and it was one of the conditions I select this hotel. In trying to solve the problem, I had to face the men in black down at the reception again and they were so kind that they could change to any room which I could use to connect the internet with my notebook. The only problem was they did not know which room that the wifi is available. Does that mean I would have to change room from one to the other until I found it, which could take forever? The answer from the helpful men in black was YES, with a sincere smile. So I rest my case.

The following days I stay in the room with a little peace and quiet to my mind, only if I did not count a couple of fire alarm that had me running (not knowing it was the fire alarm)and try to find the switch to turn the damn noise off, which first I thought it came from the TV or something. I did not know the fire alarm procedure of what to do when it sound. I did open my door to realize that the loud noise was not anything to do with my room which I could see many people moving around like chicken with no head. It was not a nightmare surely because it happened during daytime, and it happened three times on three days.

I thought I could learn something about how the British do when fire alarm is on but,to my pity, I did not learn anything. There was not any explanation to the hotel guest or anything. The hotel management just let things gone by and continue to sip their tea wathcing football rerun.

All in all the hotel is not that bad. Only if I could live with the card reader at the door knob and pray to see the green light so that I could enter after I slid it for the 78th times while having the toilet attack. And only if I could live with the TV with its slightly distorted screen to watch the CNN and if I could live with the bathroom towels I had to reused after I laid them on the floor but I found later on that they were nicely hanged at their place, especially just for me. This was probably how the house maid got their tips when someone begged for the new ones.

When I thought I have had it with this hotel. I decide to check out realizing that they have the condition of 50 pound charged in case of early departure , as stated in the room booking confirmation.

To my surprise , they were so kind not to mention the early departure charges. However they took out my remaining room charges which cost nearly 300 pound, to themselves. They claimed that it was an advance payment they took from the credit card I gave since my (internet)booking. When I started to argue about the early departure charge stated in the booking confirmation paper, this was when these people pretended that they did not understand English.

Over at that situation, I felt cheated and robbed. But concerning my safety, I had to leave this hotel but asked for their permission that I will tell the world how good the hospitality of “Holiday Inn” is.

I really don’t know that I had done business with the global famous name of the "Holiday Inn" or a thieve.

It was hard to find a single room in a London Hotel for 2 adults, & 2 older teenagers, but we had a double bed & double fold out couch & it worked for us.. Room was very clean & small by US standards,but ok size. Staff very helpful. Continental brkfast convenient, but same thing every day. Lobby had AC but not rooms. Ok if we closed blinds & left window open during day, otherwise very hot at night. Street very noisy with windows open at night but we quickly learned to sleep through it & I slept well most nights. Room & bathroom very clean but staff didn't clear away used dishes from room. Hotel is close to convenience type stores & some small but good restaurants as well as a Tube stop.

Thank you for your comments and views. I am glad you liked the hotel and it's free continental buffet breakfast.

I am sorry you did not like the area, we are in a very vibrant trendy area of London and this can be busy at times, but the majoriry of our guests love our location as we are so close to everything and it's walking distance to the tube.

If you have concerns over payment on your account, please feel free to email direct at the hotel and I will personally make sure this is looked into.

I do hope you'll consider staying with us again soon

Thank you for your comments and review. I am sorry to read that you did not like the hotel location.

As you know we are situated in Old Street in the City of London; the hotel is ideally located for business guests as we are in the City of London and just minutes walk from the financial district.

I am sorry you disliked our breakfast room; this was recently refurbished and we have received many positive comments about the new design and layout.

As you know we are an Express by Holiday Inn Hotel, and as such are rooms are built to design specifications. These are the same all over the European Estate, and again the size of these rooms are very comfortable compared to other London properties.

I do hope you still managed to enjoy your trip in London
