Holiday Inn Farnborough, an IHG Hotel

Hotels like this are sadly a dying breed. Everywhere I stay these days seems to be a claustrophobic-feeling box where your air is provided by climate-control that makes it either too hot or too cold and ALWAYS too dry. They always have staff that see you as a customers to be gotten in and then gotten out, and have the most basic of "facilities" where if you're lucky you might be able to get a stale croissant left outside your door and only one or two questionable stains on the linen. Therefore it was an unexpected and EXTREMELY pleasant surprise to find myself in what I would like to call a REAL hotel, I feel it's been too long. The young lady that checked me in was incredibly kind and professional. The room was quiet and very, very clean. Every possible want had been provided, including a free mini-bar, a bath AND shower, and (still trying to believe this one) BLACKOUT CURTAINS instead of single-weave handerkerchiefs. The hotel offers a very spacious and well-stocked bar & restaurant with real freshly cooked food, as well as a gym etc. The reception team also very kindly checked me in early AND watched my bag ALL DAY for me the following day. A wonderful stay, I wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you.

The room was clean, nicely laid out. The bed was very comfy and it was nice to have a bath and shower available in the room. The location to the venue (Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre) was exceptionally close and easy to get to. The staff were very friendly and professional. The food was excellent, with some very good vegetarian option. I am not actually a vegetarian, but enjoyed the vegetarian food options available. The falafel wraps were exceptional. Breakfast was very good both in choice, quality and value; although with my trade show starting very early an earlier breakfast start would have been better.

We liked almost everything. Instantly, it felt quite welcoming as entered. Reception staff welcomed us and gifted the kids with small things and milk + cookie vouchers, which put a smile on their face. Things were much more easy going after that. We enjoyed our overnight stay. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic, variety and the help from staff.

The staff were very friendly and helpful Rosie/Chelsie/Aaron/Mia/5Silvia/Katie all served us. The bed was very comfortable I had green broad beans and spinach for breakfast ! The chicken curry was good and the chicken schnitzel was great. Well located and easy to find . Lots of car Parking .

All staff were so helpful and friendly
