Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by babybunnybenz Lovely Stay & Helpful Staff
Stayed just for 1 night and found all the staff we met extremely helpful and smiling. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choice and the cooked food was piping hot. Although room was spotlessly clean and well equipped, the hairdryer could be updated and wasn't keen on the wooden shutters, but this is personal preference and doesn't take away from the fact that the hotel was otherwise perfect!

The standard of service at the Holiday inn, Handy cross, High Wycombe is second to none. The standards are consistently high and apply to all the staff. I stay here often and would recommend it to anyone.

I cannot praise to highly the care and friendlyness of the staff at this hotel. They are a credit to both the hotel management and the IHG group.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by aijaz08844 My three weeks stayed
The staff at front desk and at the restaurant and star buck are very courteous and helpful, Peter, Elena,Paul and some don;t not remember there names are very helpful
however this hotel maintenance need extra attention - Just to replaced a bulb need two minutes but during my three weeks stayed several request were made but no action was taken.
Holiday Inn should provide more storage drawers inside the room for people who stayed longer-

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Selkie A nice experience
An excellent hotel which made us feel very welcome and the staff were friendly and very helpful. My only gripe was the fact that as a guest I didn't expect to have to pay to use the wifi and it is expensive at 5 per hour.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by DB01052013 The staff make this hotel what it is
This is a typical Holiday Inn, same menu, same pricing structure, but there are some very good restaurants in the nearby area which are more fairly priced.
However the key staff here are excellent. Anyone staying will recognise the very friendly bar man and the excellent front desk team. These staff members (who you are not allowed to name in a review here) are the ones who make the stay a much better experience than it otherwise would be.
The rooms are clean and comfortable. WiFi is charged for and expensive.
On the down side, this hotel really misses the leisure facilities offered by others and does not have a gym or pool, and due to the size does not have enough premier rooms.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by BobK Great Stay - Will do so again
The staff were very friendly & welcoming. The room was very comfortable & quiet. This was a bank holiday evening so the hotel was not busy, so I got a room upgrade even though the price I paid was low. I have stayed here before & it was equally as good. I would always choose to stay here if I can do so at reasonable cost.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Lazychef Ideal break
We were looking for a Hotel near Aylesbury and Oxford, great location, The Hotel was clean and tidy our room was modern and comfortable. We only used the dining facilaties for breakfast but the food & service was excellant. The staff were great only to willing to assist with any request. On the whole the only thing missing from this establishment to make it the perfect break was a pool & leisure centre. otherwise it was the ideal break. If we were in the area again we would definately consider returning to this hotel.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Steve499 Friendly Staff & Relaxing Atmosphere
The staff are all very friendly and helpful.
The bar area is great for catching up with work coleagues and also ideal to conduct meetings.
I would happy to stay here again as the location is excellent and if you do choose to eat out then the choice in Marlow is very good.
One negative point is that the scrambled egg at breakfast appears to be that powdered egg which is disgusting and ruins the traditional cooked breakfast.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by AJAC Hotel Review
I have stayed at the Holiday Inn High Wycombe, many times. It is a very convenient place between the Midlands and the North, on the one hand, and then London.
The issues I have with this stay are:
1. Dinner was very poor in quailty.
2. Service was odd. The Manager of the restaurant cramped everyone into a small part of the room making dining a very bad experience.
3. Breakfast was very average and well rubbish.
I am a regular user of the IHG Hotels across the world. This was a very poor stay. It did not even have the compensatory factor of being cheap as it was not.

This hotel was clean and comfortable,
You get what you pay for but no extras like biscuits
or writing paper or pen.
Food was good, for what you pay,
Not a holiday type hotel but good for over night stay.

I have been to this hotel several times when needing to be in the London area. It's a clean modern hotel, the food in the restaurant is good and the rooms are clean and spacious. It's reasonably priced which is a real bonus.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Mitpat474 Just an average stay, No hot water huge let down
I stayed on Business on 16/02/13 . Hotel Good location Very easy to get to off the M4. Arrived 9pm, asked for upgrade and was told unavailable due to Hotel being full which was evident. Was given offered 500 pc points vs drinks voucher - opted for Pc points for being plat member. A long Walk to my door with 3 heavy bags and the key card did not work! Back to reception to have it recoded - receptionist had no clue why it had happend.
Made it to the room eventually was very small and compact - however fairly clean. the next morning jumped into shower - no hot water! Went down stairs breakfast was decent buffet - but not sure value for money. Check out was a fairly smooth process, did mention to reception regarding no hot water, and her reply was " thanks for letting us no".... emailed the hotel in the evening regardign not being happy with the Hot water situation, and was given an apology. I had to reply to ask for a form of compensation and was evenutally given 3000 PC points as a gesture. Conclusion Hotel was decent , had its pros and cons but the hotel water situation was un acceptable service, and pretty sure it wasnt worth 3000 PC points.

I was so happy to have an all English staff at the front desk (We're American's) who were helpful and friendly. The room we had was comfortable if a bit "Bijoux", but clean and decorated well. The in room coffee set up wasn't great but luckily Starbucks is downstairs. My only wish was that there was a cash point in the lobby. Otherwise perfect over night stay.

As a corporate group you do not expect friendly lively service but thats what myself and 10 colleagues got last night. I mentioned it was my birthday and we where thinking of eating out, but the staff convinced us to try there oriental buffet which was great value and delicious and then did a 'TGI Style' Birthday song for me! Many thanks for the great food, service and being sport enough to have a laugh :)

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by XRay731 Almost Perfect
Very nice Hotel with good service, excelent rooms. Even additional heaters were employed in the rooms, just in case the normal heating would not be enough (wich it was) to cover for a cold weather period.
Only "bad" points: Although reservation was made in writing, all adress information had to be filled out again upon arrival - this should be transferd onto the form. On Checkout staff was not able to create a reciept that covered all items (additional paid breakfast was not to be found in the computer).
Rooms had extra sound-proof windows, so no noise from the adjacent highway was heard, however door to the room was so thin that noise from adjacent opening and closing doors was easy to be heard.

We always stay at a Holiday Inn no matter which part of the country we stay. Iti is always clean and comfortable and although the staff are always around when you need them, they are not over intrusive which suits us fine.
We will always stay at a Holiday Inn when we can.

We decided to use a hotel for our Xmas visit and this Holiday Inn is only 3 miles from our son's house.
Best decision we have ever made. We had freedom of movement from a relaxed but efficient hotel.
My only reservation is the lack of free WiFi which is very common elsewhere in the world...including any Starbucks. The hotel promotes Starbucks but charges for WiFi. Shame.
I will definitely stay in this hotel again.
The rates were also excellent considering it was the Christmas holidays.
PS. Thank you to the staff for the Christmas card.....a nice touch.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by partners good for value
our stay at the holiday inn was ok,first of all started off that there was a promblem that apparantly they couldnt order us a taxi when we were already running late,thats why we phoned ahead to avoid having to wait a further 15 mins.got sorted in the end though.
the taxi firm that they used which was only a 15 min drive cost us £30 which we thought was disgusting.
when we finally got back to our room which was around 10pm,we ordered the romantic package which includes two people.we only got 1 bath robe and slippers,and 1 complimentry mars bar even though theres two people staying in the room.plus the glasses that were left with the bottle of wine 1 of them was filthy, still had someones else lipstick mark on.so wasnt very happy about that.
then when we went to order our evening meal,which the place was completely empty,we ordered chicken curry,when i tucked in to it ,it was frozen in the middle,which then we found out it was a micro wave meal,the popadums were completely drowned in thick oil,they offered to pay for 1 dessert.
at this point we'd had enough,which was ment to be a nice night away for me and my partner turned in to nothing but things going wrong,we was happy that we'd found such a nice hotel with a really good deal.but was this really worth it?
when we got up and went for breakfast,we had to approach the lady after waiting for about 10 mins to get our tea and coffee,when i made some toast it set on fire and popped out completely black,appart from that the breakfast was ok.

Not a beautiful hotel to look at, but offers good rooms and a good location for touring the surrounding area.
We booked early as a Priority Club member and got a room at a great discount (no breakfast).
Room was very good in all respects and well worth what we paid.
We did not use the restaurant, but the evening food looked good and there were quite a lot of people eating in.
All the staff we came into contact with were very pleasant and helpful.
We will stay again when we visit the area, and recommend the hotel especially if you book early.
TIP: become a Priority Club member and get the benefits that go with it.
