Rated 4 out of 5 by a Holiday Inn Express Golders Green North guest:
The value of this hotel is excellent if you are not bothered about staying in central London. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel and the buses will take you into town (much more pleasant way to travel than the tube). The room was big and very clean and the service was friendly. We first stayed on 2nd floor and I must say the noise from the North Circular was not bad at all (and I'm a light sleeper). We had to stay another night and they found us a room on the 4th floor and for some reason the noise was a bit worse (still - could live with it). I presume it's because of the way the hotel was built- it seems to have concrete 'sound walls' above the windows on the second floor but not on the 4th. As the distance to central London does not bother me I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is situated In North London close to Finchley Central and also a bus outside the hotel takes you to Victoria Station (82). As for the rooms they were 5 stars and not 3. The breakfast was not the best I have ever had but it was what I was expecting from Holiday Inn Chain. Furthermore the services provided were good but I wish the Reception stuff could speak a bit better English.

Writing from the hotel room where I'm staying 2 nights, and having come down with a bad stomach, I've spent a lot of time in the room. This is your basic Holiday inn express, and much of what you expect from the chain holds true here. The room is large, and very clean, and by UK standards a very nice place. There is a bar and a restaurant, and vending machines. Overall the place is very clean, and building is fairly new. The location is on the ring road (a circle road that goes all around London, making it easy to get a cab to Heathrow). It is in Golders' green which is one of the most Jewish neighbourhoods in London. As such, Kosher food is available in a special case thats kept seperate from the other foods along with the included continental breakfast (some tasty pastries, cheese, and chocolate spread along with the obligitory cereal's and some fruit), And if you head downhill to golders green, you'll spot a lot of orthodox Jews in traditional clothing. Being on the Ring road, if you keep your windows open, expect a lot of street noise, but with the windows closed and using the white noise provided by the room's central air fan if placed on high, you can effectively block it all out for a good night's sleep. If you step outside the hotel you'll think you're in no mans land, but a short walk up the road is a ZiZi, a fairly tasty Italian Chain. Also there's a bus stop RIGHT outside the hotel door, and 2 stops in either direction on the 82 bus (which runs every 5/10 minutes) there are major neighbourhoods. If you take the bus 2 minutes up the hill to the boarder of Finchley (a totally walkable distance, but I'm lazy), on the left hand side is the Two Brother's Fish resturant, which is considered one of the top rated fish places in London, with not only fabulous fish and chips, but all variety of fish dishes. Right past that on a side road is a very good Turkish place. In the other direction (down hill) you come to the Golder's green station (which has an elevator if your negotiating the train with your suitcases, and is also a bus stop for the national coach service) and the very very Jewish Golders' green neighbourhood. (Warning for those who have never tasted Kosher food, as a rule you're going to be a little let down if you choose a kosher chinese, etc. Its best to stick with places that serve either jewish or Israeli/middle eastern foods, or find a resturant that is NOT kosher.) So whlie there isn't stuff RIGHT outside the door, the bus makes a lot of things easily accessable. Also, at the front desk they keep a HUGE binder full of menus for all the resturants that will deliver if you don't want to go out. There are however a lot of customer service issues: The air conditioning in my room didn't work. The fan came on but no cooling. The engineer finally came a SECOND time, and found he had to set it to 10 degrees in order to get my room to a comfortable 20 degrees. The internet which is charged at 7.50 a day was IMPOSSIBLY slow. I complained, supposedly the provider was contacted and increased the speed, but it simply went from impossibly slow to painfully slow. The TV only has about 5 channels, you can also get two radio channels via the TV. I had left the room for lunch, placing the "do no disturb' sign on my door and leaving the TV on to drive home the point. I came back an hour later to find it had been ignored. My bed had been fixed, the TV was off, and the do not disturb sign was lying on the floor INSIDE my room (so it wasn't that it fell off before they opened the door). Luckily I had locked up my suitcase before I left, but still... AND while sitting in my room another maid opened my door WITHOUT KNOCKING to inspect that they had cleaned it.
