Holiday Inn London Watford Junction, The Vicarage

Very pleasantly surprised by my stay here! Fantastic service from Eric during check-in, as a solo female I really appreciated him not saying my room number out loud at the front desk - not sure if intentional or just Holiday Inn policy but this was really reassuring. The room was lovely, decorated tastefully and comfortable bed. Super clean, especially the bathroom which also has a selection of Dove products that felt very luxe for what I was expecting. I only stayed one night and didn't dine there so can't comment on much else. Only slight issue is the lack of chain lock on the room doors - made me a little nervous travelling solo so next time I'd bring my own travel lock.

I stopped at Holiday Inn Watford Junction for a night before heading into London. The hotel's location is excellent, being only a few minutes' walk from the train station. You can reach central London in just 20 minutes. The check-in was quick and efficient, and the rooms were clean and well-appointed. There was everything you could need for a comfortable stay, and I thought for the price we paid it was good value for money. As we were Diamond members of IHG Rewards, I was also able to access their breakfast as part of the stay. It was very nice, with plenty of hot and cold options to choose from. Overall, the stay was pleasant and good value for money. Its location is excellent for travelling into London quickly, and also for the various attractions in the local attractions.

Straight off the train is easily a 5 min walk to the hotel. Super clean. Staff were / are brilliant, very friendly from cleaners, breakfast staff, front desk to bar area. Great for Harry Potter. Bath rooms well equipped. Cozy rooms. Would 100% stay here again, even if going into London for the weekend.
