Lovely modern room and bathroom, although a bit cold. Further from Kings Cross than expected. Bar and restaurant good, but watch out for the 12.5% gratuity that is added on automatically although presumably you could ask for it to be taken off, but not sure how many people would.

"`Crowned` a great theatre package and weekend"

Super hotel and staff. Bright, modern room with the most comfortable hotel beds and pillows we`ve experienced. Bath towels were massive and nice too. Only eat breakfast at hotel and although at almost £15 per person, it`s on the expesive side, there was piles of good food to choose from

Lovely modern hotel and staff couldn`t do enough for you. Only issue was the walk to underground but it only cost us £10 get to the theatre in a taxi so no real worries there. Definitely would recommend to friends and/or stay again

"Lovely hotel difficult staff"

The actual hotel itself was spectacular. The staff at entry looked miserable and considering 4 were standing around, only 1 was checking in. She`s was very pleasant. The concierge man was miserable as sin.Upon returning to our room, it was exceptionally too warm as our air cooler system wasn`t working . We called reception and asked for help. They said they`d send someone. No one arrived. I went down in my pyjamas as the heat was unbearable again no body showed. I also asked for water , again no body came. I had to find the maid and ask for botttles off of the cart. Wasn`t impressed with the service but hotel was very clean and well presented.

"Nice hotel"

Our room was fine for 2 adults and 1 child, lovely bathroom and all very clean. We used the pool and Jacuzzi for a small fee. Only problem we found is that it was quite a walk from the hotel to the nearest Underground Station (and back) especially with a youngster so if, like us, you are unfamiliar with London and don`t know much about bus services etc this hotel maybe a bit too far out but that`s not saying we don`t recommend this hotel. We didn`t have breakfast as it cost £17.99 each!! We had a lovely big breakfast at a nearby café for £6.45. We had a meal in the evening in the attached Belguim and it was fab!

Hotel spotless, staff friendly. Tea and coffee topped up and complementary water awaiting us. Only complaint is the bathroom floor got really wet from taking shower and the hairdryer was a pain as you had to leave your finger pressed down to make it work. The bar area was very comfortable and relaxing.

"Gorgeous Hotel"

Very clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend a stay here. Be aware you will be charged to use the pool, which I did not mind but had not been told. Will be back.

The hotel was good breakfast fab, the only complaint is, it`s the first of hundreds of hotels I`ve stayed in that I had to pay to use the pool facilities, so for one night with my grandchildren it basically cost another £20 which I wasn`t happy about but I could so no to the

"Modern and clean"

Whilst hotel staff could not do enough for you and the hotel itself is modern and immaculate, the same cannot be said of the Belgo restaurant. After waiting over 30 minutes to have the dessert order taken they then got it wrong and had the temerity to put a service charge on the bill. This was removed when we pointed it out. Would certainly stay at the Crowne Plaza any time though.

Hotel was fantastic, the staff were superb, nothing was too much trouble. Two 7 year old girls loved every minute of it and the Reception staff were brilliant, including talking to the girls and not ignoring them. Thank you.

"Lovely Hotel."

This hotel was lovely, although we had booked a room with two double beds but ended up in a room with one double and a sofa bed (with no bedding), the hotel staff provided this once they were made aware. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the nearest underground, which was sometimes a bit difficult with a young child, but overall a lovely clean hotel with good facilities.

"Good "

Very clean and staff very helpful. Bar staff also very friendly. I had a double room but was only provided with one robe and tea and coffee was only set up for one person. They did attend immediately when asked. Main issue was parking. Car park is far too small for size of hotel and you cannot pre book
