Everything was fine during my stay in Holiday Inn The handles were a bit stiff to turn around when switching on the shower which was a small issue but generally worked fine. Bottle of water would have been nice to have in the room but was happy buying my own. I received good service from Kayal a good helpful waitress who bought over a lovely cheese and mushroom omelette. Her service was very good.

I am an IHG member and try to stay in their hotels if it suits my needs. I had booked an accessible room as I need a walk in shower. Central reservations assured me that this hotel has accessible rooms with walk in showers. …

Convenient location but disappointing stay - I recently stayed at Holiday Inn Bloomsbury and found the location to be its best feature, conveniently situated right across from Russell Square underground. While the hotel’s overall appearance is clean and neat, the room I stayed in, particularly room 449, was old and in need of refurbishment. Essentials like toilet rolls were not refilled by the cleaning staff, although fresh towels were replaced daily.The hotel is small, lacking basic facilities such as a fitness room. The breakfast was average, with the same options provided for all four days of my stay, and I would suggest exploring other breakfast options nearby for variety. This hotel might suit budget-conscious travellers looking for a no-frills experience, but for the price paid, I expected more. Overall, I would not recommend it unless you are simply looking for a place to sleep in a good location.

It’s a solid 3 stars. As in, does very well in the 3 star category.The best thing about this hotel is the location. It’s walking distance to soho, convent gardens etcThe staff are excellent. Warm, courteous, great service.The rooms are very small, but very clean and has modern furniture. I was quite comfortable overnight. The doors and carpets in the corridors and the external facade of the building is rather dated. The bathroom is tiny - a bit of a squeeze to move around the door/ with the toilet in the way etcNo freebies (eg toiletries, slippers, sewing kit). Can hear people talking in the corridors overnight.Overall, does the job, cosy, comfortable, but you wouldn’t really write home about it. Hard to comment on prices as that’s subjective. Essentially over £200 for a comfortable and convenient room.When I first arrived, my first thought was 3 stars. After I settled in, I thought, maybe 4? So 3.5 would be right, if I could give that.

This hotel was great value and an even better location. Everyone was super helpful and attentive. We were nervous about our luggage, but Shivam enthusiastically helped us weigh it! He has been very helpful this entire trip. I appreciate him as well as the rest of the staff for making us Americans feel at home

I host a lot of corporate events at the Holiday Inn on Coram street & the staff who help out are consistently exceptional! ‘Alvaro’ & ‘Meet’ get special mentions for how friendly & accommodating they are to my clients needs & how quickly & efficiently they get things done with ease, Alvaro especially, usually going above & beyond to help. I will continue to host events here as I know all is taken care of & in safe hands. Thanks

Great location and breakfast. Staff service brilliant especially Ramone and his team in the bar/restaurant and all reception staff. Excellent food and wine and very convenient. The room is small but well appointed, scrupulously clean and comfortable but the shower is poor- far too small, lacks water pressure, no fan and therefore very steamy. However, we would stay again because of all the good points

This hotel has been updated, but it's definitely outdated. Has a Titanic hallway vibe, or The Shining, which made us laugh.However, the location and the staff are top-notch. Conveniently located near the tube and bus stops, across from a great shopping plaza with a grocery store and coffee shops. The staff were so amazing. Friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I would definitely choose this place again.
