Th staff at this hotel are exceptional, especially in the breakfast room. The gym is amazing. Location superb. Housekeeping is sketchy at best. Too focused on getting you to check out and nowhere to be seen to get your room serviced. Sheets not changed in 8days, glasses and coffee cups never cleared and replaced - had me to wash them - room furniture never cleaned.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel location was perfect...in the heart of Kensington. Location was very convenient for trains, Uber, cabs and buses. The room accomodation was fair... the carpet was dirty and very soiled. The love seat was also not clean...very worn and could have benefited from a good shampoo. Otherwise, the bathroom was spotless and the breakfast bar was very satisfactory. The staff was friendly especially Ali who worked the Starbucks counter. He was very friendly and demonstrated impeccable customer service skills. I would stay at this location again but will request a room where some.of the amenities are not as worn and soiled.

The staff were so helpful. They made our special occasion stay even more special. The only downside was breakfast on the Sunday morning when all the coffee machines weren’t working. Also, one of the lifts wasn’t working for three nights. Having said that, I would highly recommend Holiday Inn. It is a great hotel!
