Holiday Inn Russell Square London

We shall be staying there very soon. I know this may sound odd but can anyone please tell me if the hotel provide towels in rooms for showering or is it just hand towels? Knowing in advance would save me packing them for us all. Many thanks

    I've stayed in a few Holiday Inns and always had "proper" towels

    ive never come across any hotels ever that dont provide bath towels, even budget hotels.

    If there arent any there when you get there, ask for some.

    I wouldnt bother packing any, its just more weight to heave around.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    They did when we stayed there a few years back .Good hotel great location very accessable, we have a blue badge car & wheelchair user after we dumped our bags and checked in. we asked wheres the best place to put the car was told to just leave it right in front of the hotel which we did for 2 and a half days while we enjoyed London.

    This made me smile, when my OH and I went to Cannes a couple of years ago, there was a hotel with a dozen or steps across the whole width of a ver posh hotel on the main drag and there was a very, very expesnsive car parked skew whiff actually on the steps. Our guide says that some people are just so rich in Cannes that they just park when ever and wherever they wanted. He had certainly done that.
    Hope you have a good time, Ijust love visiting London.

  • They do provide towels and you can always ask for extras when housekeeping comes, we always do this and they have always been most accommodating.

    Bloomsbury Holiday Inn is by far our favourite , its in a great location and the service has always been excellent.

    Now I wanna go :D must check rates :rotfl:

    There was a little bit of a trend in London a few years ago for leaving your parking tickets on your windscreen to show everyone how much you don't mind racking up silly little parking fines. Thankfully that one came and went. Nobs.
