 | |  |  | Grange Holborn Hotel (The): Very plush
|  |  | |  |
I stayed here on business in June 2004. For me, the main advantage was the location as it was handy for both Kings Cross station and the offices I was visiting on Holborn.
To be perfectly honest, I didn't spend a great deal of time either in my room or in the other hotel facilities. This is my big gripe when I stay in business hotels. They're very plush and have lots of facilities, but when on earth am I meant to get time to use them?!
I did get a good night's sleep though, and didn't find any problems with the room, the service or anything else in the hotel. My rate didn't include breakfast though, which is a bit disappointing when you're paying £150 per night (or it would have been had I actually been paying!). The hotel has a gym and a swimming pool which is a bonus, particularly in London, but having been dragged out for a meal with my boss I didn't get the chance to use them.
I wasn't bowled over by the experience, but it was far from the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. And I'm staying in another Grange hotel in London this weekend (September 10th) and even paying for it myself, so they must have made a decent impression on me! Mind you, it may have had something to do with getting a really good deal on it...
It has a pool and a gym, and all the corporate facilities you'd expect. But I don't know whether it has a "soul". Leave a Comment Theme: HotelComparison: more expensive than average

| | | | Grange Holborn Hotel (The): Expensive hotel in the center
| | | | |
I've stayed twice at this hotel so far, each time for business!
Thanks god, I was not paying by myself, it is bloody expensive! Even if the hotel was good in general, I found the ratio price/quality a bit disappointing.
The room was big but filled in with two huge double-beds, staying there alone, it was not making too much sense to me...
...not much space left for the armchairs and the small desk!
Comparatively to the room, the bathroom was really small but the minimum was there...
Couple of magazines were available, always useful when you have to take your lunch alone in the restaurant!
Quite amazing, there is a swimming pool as well but I haven't got the time to enjoy it!
**update** NEVER AGAIN!!! I was supposed to stay there a third time but they overbooked me!! They downgraded me to a second class hotel in a nearby street! I have been dropped in a dark tiny smoky room in the basement!! According to the taxi driver, I'm not the first one!!
The restaurant provides good food at a reasonable price!
The hotel is perfectly located, right in the center, really close to a tube station. Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: most expensiveDirections: Holborne tube station
