Very tired and cold hotel in need of refurb. Wallpaper peeling off walls and bathroom needs a refit desperately. Masking tape holds the carpet down. The shower was leaking terribly and shower curtain was mouldy. …

The hotel falls far below the standard I've come to expect from the Holiday Inn brand. The rooms are dated and the general decor run down. In my particular room, the bedside lights didn't work and were replace by a makeshift floor lamp with a round pin plug for which there was only one suitable socket, on the wrong side of the bed. The TV was tiny in relation to distance from the bed and the carpets and bathroom were dirty.In short, the room should have been put out of commission until it was fixed.Bar service during the night was a joke and involved 10-15 mins of registering my card at reception before I could purchase a drink.At almost £300 for 2 nights, I expect a far better standard of accommodation and service.It is definitely off my list of suitable hotels for the foreseeable.

Very nice big bedroom and nice bath, I especially enjoyed the mini fridge/bar. My new wife slept very well in the bed. The check in staff were polite and gave us a free drink and breakfast voucher when they found out it was our wedding say. The breakfast was very nice and a good selection and the servers were very polite and helpful.

I have been staying at the holiday inn every week for the past year for business. The staff are fantastic and never fail to give me the best service. The reception team: Rachel, Lily, Holly, Liberty, Ryu and Graham, led by manager Angela always do an astounding job at making my stay as comfortable as possible.

Luca politely asked if we could leave a review. We are very happy to oblige.We had a two night stay at the Farnborough Holiday Inn. Two adults. Two children.Before our arrival I’d phoned reception and spoke to a very helpful receptionist called Lily. Lily arranged for an extra fold out bed for our family room so that our two children didn’t have to share a bed. A sofa bed and a z-bed were all made up for us before we arrived.The room was great. Clean, modern with everything in great conditionThe breakfast was very enjoyable. Lots to choose from with great vegan options including hot green and edamame beans as well as all the full English options, pastries, fruits, yoghurts, cold meats juices and cereals. There were three options for non-dairy milks too.Luca made us pancakes to order which were brought over to our table. They were delicious.Roshmi made me a decaf Starbucks coffee from the bar and brought it over to me. Much better than instant decaf.There was a very pleasant young waiter for our evening meal (Sorry we didn’t catch your name). The food and service were both great. Portion size was generous and all the food, both adults and children’s choices were great.The bar had an exceptional 14 year Oban whisky. A great choice from whoever makes the purchasing decisions. One of the nicest whiskies I’ve ever had.The gym was really well equipped too and a very pleasant surprise.Overall a really great experience that exceeded our expectations. Thank you to all the staff who consistently were pleasant, professional and efficient.
