Holiday Inn Golders Green – one of the best UK hotels, reveals hotel.info
hotel.info, the free online hotel reservation service with more than 210,000 hotels worldwide, has awarded their coveted ‘Top Rated Hotel UK’ award as voted for by customers to the Hilton, Canary Wharf. Situated at the heart of Canary Wharf's bustling business, café and shopping scene, this hotel has proved popular with tourists and business travellers alike.
A two-star hotel standing alongside London’s busy North Circular Road has been voted one of the best places to stay in the UK.
The unassuming Holiday Inn Express Golders Green – which provides double rooms for an average of £77 per night – has been ranked the country’s fourth-best hotel by guests leaving feedback on online reservation service hotel.info.
Situated near the Brent Cross Shopping Centre and close to the M1, M4 and M25 motorways, the hotel is a favourite with football fans attending matches at Wembley Stadium, as well as foreign visitors looking for a bargain stay in the capital. Couples can even add to their stay with a special ‘Romance’ package, which includes champagne and dinner.
Top of the hotel.info rankings for 2011 is the four-star Hilton London Canary Wharf, closely followed by the Staybridge Suites in Liverpool. Third place goes to the luxury Andaz at Liverpool Street Station, right at the heart on London’s financial district.
Warini Munshi, Managing Director at hotel.info said: “The consistent thing in the feedback for all of our best-rated properties is that guests put good quality service and value for money above all else. In these straitened times it is perhaps unsurprising that people really want to feel like they have been treated correctly and are getting what they pay for – all the added luxuries seem to be less important.”
The trend continues overseas too. Europe’s top-rated property is also a two-star property – the Gästehaus Hundhammer in Geisenhausen, Germany. The tiny guesthouse boasts just six rooms and includes‚ hairdryer‘ and ‚parking‘ among its amenities!
hotel.info is a free online hotel reservation service with more than 210,000 hotels worldwide. All ratings which go towards making up the hotel rankings are from genuine guests who have stayed during 2011.
