Our room did not include breakfast as we were aware. However the breakfast prices in the hotel varied, in the bedroom menu it was advertised at £12,50 and when going to the restaurant they were charging us £17.99 per person, which for a breakfast buffet I find extortionate. We then wanted to relax in the sauna and pool which was also advertised as included within the hotel package, to then find out that it was an additional £3.5 per person. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere, it is a good 10 minute walk to find somewhere to eat if you are not willing to pay stupid money at the hotel.

"This hotel is lovely"

We are only staying 1 night and wish we were staying more. The hotel is lovely, the staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms have ample space, with 2 double beds in a twin room. I would definitely recommend Crowns Plaza Kings Cross. Only down side is about 15 minute walk to nearest tube but even that wasn`t too bad.

"Not the closest hotel to the show!"

We got to the hotel to find somebody shouting abuse outside. The hotel is quite out of the way and a bus or train ride from the theatre. Nice rooms. Breakfast was a nightmare a member of staff told me in a rude tone to We got to the hotel to find somebody shouting abuse outside. The hotel is quite out of the way and a bus or train ride in the queue. Never going back again. Supposed to be a treat for my husbands 50th birthday.

We loved staying at the Crowne Plaza. It was a little far to underground services for my daughter, but the room was comfortable, restaurant good and leisure facilities lovely. Only negative, air con!

"Family room was very small - Hotel was a bit to far out."

The hotel room was very disappointing - room was small and cramped for a family of 4 - storage was dreadful, enough for 1 person not 4 - it was also to far out a good 15 min walk from the tube or £15 in a taxi to any decent landmark.

"Ok- expensive, nothing out of the ordinary "

The hotel it`s self was ok. Nothing really set it apart from any other hotel. Was disappointed to find that it cost extra to use the pool!! There was also a mix up at breakfast- as they didn`t think it was included in our rate. Luckily I had emailed prior to arrival, and had confirmation that it was. Room was ok, a bit compact- but had everything you would expect

"Poor check in"

I`m checking in the man was very informal, he did not at any point state our room number and just wrote it down. He also did not inform us of check out time, subsequently due to his poor writing I returned to reception having tried to access the room which wouldn`t work twice, only on the third to be actually told my room number was in fact 247 and not 242 which the other receptionist agreed with me about his writing but just laughed, by the 3rd time of returning downstairs, I can assure you this was not funny.

"Enjoyable stay at the Crown Plaza Kings Cross"

Travelled to London with my wife and daughter (5 years old) from the Philippines and stayed seven days. The hotel was very nice and rooms were clean and comfortable. The hotel was well situated for seeing the sites in London. We used taxi`s most of the time but the nearest tube station is a 15-minute walk from the hotel and bus stops are close to the hotel. Enjoyed the breakfasts and room service food was good. The free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable.

"2 stops away from the West End."

Just a 10 min walk from Russel Square Underground this was a good quiet location. It takes an 1hr from Heathrow on the underground. The staff were lovely, the hotel is lovely and even has a pool. Rooms are bigger than most London rooms (average sized for most hotels).

"Attention to detail was second to none. "

As we travelled for my mother`s seventieth birthday I had let the hotel know beforehand when booking. We were upgraded rooms as a complimentary extra and they put a note with some chocolates for her. It`s the small things that make a difference! Thank you

In the morning the lifts were heavily congested and we had to wait a long time to get fro the third floor to the ground floor to check out and leave. The stairs weren`t an option as we had our 70 year old mum with us. The hotel itself was lovely and the room was great, with very comfortable beds and it was clean.

"Language barrier "

The hotel Is excellent in every way, cleanliness, food, comfort of rooms, swimming pool and courteous friendly staff. However I found it very difficult being in a hotel in London where English was not the first language of any of the staff who often had to ask colleagues what we were asking for

"Nice clean hotel"

The hotel is very clean and modern.The bedrooms excellent comfortable beds ,clean bathroom.the shower was a little puzling to operate but when we fathomed it out it was fine.Food at breakfast was very good plenty of choices .The onle fault was the TV in our room was poor .Only 1 station working.We was woke at 6am with a fire alarm and the hotel was cleared quickly and safely but we could not find out the reason for the alarm which is down to poor communications from the management.A little far out from the visitor regions of London 1.2 miles to Westminster but is walkable if your of reasonable fitness.
