A good stay

We found the staff very friendly and helpful, our economy broke at 10pm and we were moved to another room with no fuss, restaurant staff were also a credit to the hotel, our only comment would be that the food quality was not of a very good standard, based on other hotels we have used. The room was very clean even in corners where other people miss, a credit to the cleaning staff.

We did witness a close call crime. Someone nearly had their phone stolen. We were already aware though of the risks staying in London, thank you Facebook. Great location for Harry Potter studio tour though. In the words of Moody, ‘in London you need constant vigilance.’Staff were great.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here because it was within walking distance of Watford railway station and the shuttle bus for the Harry Potter Studio Tour. The staff were pleasant, helpful and approachable. The hotel was clean, quiet and seemed to be in a safe area of town. The beds were comfortable. Towels, hairdryer, soap, shampoo and shower gel, and tea facilities were provided. There was also an electric heater in the room. The buffet breakfast was good and well stocked. You can also have an evening meal here, and there is a good selection to choose from. Overall food was good. Some minor points: tea facilities were not replenished, there were not enough tissues or toilet roll, there was a hole in the carpet, a light on the phone flashed constantly through the night and despite asking for it to be dealt with it, it wasn't. The top of the creme brule could be improved. Considerations for future guests: a games room e.g. a pool table.

The Holiday Inn Watford Junction offers a convenient location, especially for those traveling by train, with easy access to both the station and nearby attractions. Some of the staff were genuinely helpful and went out of their way to assist us during our stay, which made a positive impression. However, this wasn’t consistent across the board, as some staff members seemed disinterested and less attentive. Our biggest issue was the WiFi. It was, by far, the worst hotel WiFi we’ve ever experienced. Loading a basic email was painfully slow, and we eventually had to head down to the lobby for a more stable connection. If you’re planning on working or streaming from your room, this could be a significant drawback. Despite these setbacks, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the modern amenities and overall atmosphere of the hotel. If WiFi quality isn’t a top priority for your stay, the hotel still offers good value, especially considering its prime location.
