"Nice hotel to far out from the centre"

The hotel has recently been refurbished so it is nice and clean , breakfast good . It is a 30 Minute walk to oxford street which is £12.50 in a cab . If you have a family like us stay closer this hotel is just too far away from all the sights

"Great hotel"

I always worry when going to a hotel I`ve never been to before but this hotel is great. We were going on the Buckingham palace tour and the staff were very helpful with directions and easiest way to get there. It was around a 10 min walk to kings cross station. We could of walked to kings cross then got a tube to Piccadilly which would of took about 8 mins but it was raining so we got a taki to st James place which to our surprise was only £13 and took around 15 mins. The hotel was very clean. We had lobster for tea which was amazing.

"Avoid the bar! £18 for two drinks!! Oh and breakfast £50 for 3 of us. Visit local eateries."

Clean & smart with helpful staff. The breakfast is not worth the cost and was far from hot. A number of cafes are within easy walking distance and represent better value. Late opening Italian restaurant within 8 minutes walk.

"Really nice every one really helpful."

Rooms was very nice, and as it was my wife birthday we got a nice bottle of wine from the hotel, Belgo restaurant is well worthwhile is a very good addition to the hotel. Only one criticism the way parcels are logged in took two days to find my wife`s birthday present that was sent here.

"Fabulous hotel very clean amazing stay "

Was really lovely hotel. The only downside was that it was a 15 minute walk from the hotel to nearest underground station. Not great for my 77 year old mum. Struggled a bit with the long walk. But overall I cannot fault the hotel and very friendly staff.

Wonderful hotel with helpful staff. Absolutely no complaints which is rare! Perfectly close to the centre of London, yet far enough out that it was quiet. Would definitely stay again.

"Watch out for google!"

Just a small warning, although the hotel was excellent, it seems that Google gets very confused when it comes to its location, there are TWO Crown Plaza Hotels within a couple of miles of each other and Google sent us to the wrong hotel! It was all very embarrassing when we got there to find we had no reservations! Luckily they called us a taxi and sent us on our way to the right hotel! After speaking to the very nice staff at the CORRECT hotel it seems we were not the first to hit upon this problem...

"Customer service at it`s best. They should be proud."

Customer service lacks hugely across the country. This place gets it to a tee. What an incredible staff and venue. Knocks spots off too many. The staff are engaging, willing, conscientious and happy. We couldn`t have asked for more from start to finish, so much so that not only do I recommend but will also revisit time and time again.

"Lovely comfortable hotel pity about location "

Would definitely return to do a show but don`t know how you can put the two together it cost ?50 to get a taxi to the show which is the opposite side of London which we were not expecting don`t think I would stay there again as it was out of the way of everything

"Comfortable, Clean and friendly "

Whilst the hotel itself was nice and the staff friendly no one seems to know how the hotel runs. None of the buttons on the phone in the room work, I found this out when trying to order room service. A family room with only two towels and two water glasses, the shower needs fed Ali g to stop it flooding the bathroom and and and... however despite, these minor issues, the staff were helpful and friendly and the food was good
