The Bathroom
ByTonyB
12 May 2022
We stayed in one of the newer rooms, No 274. The room was good but we'd like to draw your attention to the following:- There was what we took to be a towel rail on the right of the wash basin which was fitted far too low to properly hang a towel on. In addition, on the wall below the rail was the spare loo roll holder. Its location was such that water from your hands or face dripped on to the loo roll when you reached for a towel! We say we took the rail to be a towel, but it could have been a handrail. If it was a handrail, then there's a need for a towel rail to be fitted somewhere adjacent to the hand basin.
Another great HI experience

Another great stay at a Holiday Inn. While the Express properties are often out of town centres they offer great value and this one has a footpath/cyclepath right outside the door. A 10 minute walk into the suburb of Romsey for cafes, shops and great range of restaurants.

Lovely place for one or a few nights. We stayed 3. Dog friendly with free car parking and excellent breakfast. Rooms ok, slept well. No complaints !
Normal

Sounds like a cop out, but at this HIE, "Normal" is very good, The rooms are always spotless, the staff are friendly, if I have any gripe, the breakfast could be a bit better, but it's not a major concern.
Good hotel, friendly staff, always clean rooms, what more should you expect?
Overstretched and poor service

The queue for breakfast on Easter Saturday stretched passed the bar and reception desk and was almost out of the entrance door. It took 1.5 hours to get some breakfast. Once you got to the buffet, the trays of hot food were empty and, despite repeatedly asking for bacon, it took another 15 minutes to arrive.
On Saturday night, the only option for hot food was pizza, we ordered two and one was cold. Simply, too many guests for the number of staff to cope with.
Great location, wonderful break

The location is great as it is walkable to the town centre via a nice road full of cafes, restaurants and supermarkets, we never used the car or the bus to move around.
The family room is for 4 people, however the sofa bed is not massive and not super comfortable.
The breakfast was nice and there was a take away option, unfortunately one of the days the hotel was full and there were long queues and the food kept running out by the time you got to it.
Tea and coffee was provided free at all times, which was great and a microwave was available to guests.
I would definitely recommend it and go back again!
Lovely hotel, bad experience

Whilst I cannot fault the hotel and stay, I was not impressed with the booking process. The booking was made in October. Imagine my surprise when the fee was taken from my account on January. 3 months before my stay. Calls to customer service could not explain why. I was passed to the hotel itself. I was twice promised a call back which never came. No-one ever explained why I was charged early. Even on checking in, it seemed to get brushed under the rug. Yes the hotel is lovely and clean but how can I trust this would not happen again if staying here? IHG customer service need to sort this issue out to regain trust.
No recognition of Platinum Elite member

It is a nice hotel, but at no point in time, I felt that they even know how to welcome premium Platinum elite members. At the time of checkout, we had to interact with a young lady at reception, at no point, I felt that she even knows how to show courteous behaviour or have a helping tone when dealing with customers. She ignored our specific invoice request and had to go to the reception to ask her even after that she was just making a fuss. She is clearly not properly trained to work in a hotel.
Pros:
Nice and clean hotel
Peaceful
Cons:
Not enough good vegetarian breakfast options (hot food);
No recognition of Elite members
Not a good location
No electric car charging facility
Good location

Have stayed at this hotel several times this year, the staff are always friendly and helpful, the rooms well cleaned and the overall ambiance within the hotel is excellent.
If I have one gripe it's around breakfast, the choice of cereals is a touch limited and a cup of coffee that was a bit better than Nescafe would be a welcome.
That's a minor complaint though as overall the hotel is very very good
Basic but ok for price

The room was a good size and amenities as described. The bed was a small double so would have preferred it to have been slightly bigger. Breakfast was a disappointment, the full English was very basic and half of which had run out with multiple people waiting for bacon so by the time the bacon was replenished it was pretty much all taken again. The tables were not cleaned very quickly once people left but there was no cleaning station for people to be able to clean their own tables either. On the second morning there was a huge queue of around 30-40 minutes just to get something to eat and then there was no tables to sit at.
comfortable stay
