Being close to the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines on Finchley road (as well as bus routes outside the hotel ) this Holiday Inn suited our needs on out theatre break. The food is standard Express fayre with DIY everything including bacon and scrambled eggs. The dining room is cramped however and this makes for a queue at peak times both... More

If you platinum member at IHG you will receive nothing no upgrade, no newspaper, no bottel of water, no late chick out and... More

Long term member of the chain's loyalty programme, noticed it had been recently renewed. The room at the back of the hotel was immaculately clean and quiet, terrific price, internet and newspapers available. Location is very good - one stop on the Metropolitan line to Baker Street, two stops to Bond Street. Lots of convenience shops and places to eat... More

Stayed 2 nights in April on business. Good value for London - although the rooms are fairly small they are comfortable. Usual breakfast fare but can get crowded around the buffet table at times. Pleasant staff. Tube only a few minutes away and shopping centre with Sainsburys across the road (Waitoses further down the road) as well as Waterstones. Good... More

Just back from an excellent weekend break to London - made all the better by a very comfortable stay at HIE. As priority club members we already new what standard to expect and the Swiss Cottage hotel didn't disappoint. Very close to tube and jubilee line took us straight into the centre in 10 mins. Breakfast was ideal and we... More

I am going to keep this short and sweet. The service was great, the rooms were clean and well kept, the staff was friendly, the breakfast was great! The location alone is the best reason to stay here close to everything you would need. Bars, Shopping, Banks, grocerie stores. Oh how we loved our stay there.

Excellent hotel, spotlessly clean, friendly helpful staff and fantastic location, good choice for breakfast although can get a bit busy. 2 minute walk to underground with direct link to Jubilee line. Wetherspoons, Sainsbury's, Movie Theatre directly across the road.

The best two things about this hotel are its location and cleanliness. Central London is just a 6 minute ride from the tube station which is a 2 minute walk across the street. The rooms, bathrooms and common area are all clean. The breakfast area is a bit small. The car park is tiny and somewhat expensive.
