 There was no view from our room which was possibly because we were on a two night break I was also disappointed to see a 12 5 per cent service charge for breakfast which was excellent but not exactly cheap at 17 50pp Thankfully the staff were happy to remove the extra charge 
 The Holiday Inn is perfectly located for a weekend in the capital We visited Kensington Palace and the Royal Albert Hall both of which are within comfortable walking distance The hotel was airy and well equipped and the bed was as comfortable as we have experienced away from home
