Fantastic night at The Crowne Plaza. Room was very comfortable and we were only staying one night before catching the Eurostar so it was perfect. The shower was great and products provided very nice. …

First impressions are always important, and this hotel will not disappoint. Reception staff professional and polite. Rooms are cleaned to a high standard. Tea and coffee are available, plus a hairdryer. Complimentary bottles of water are available in the room, too. The beds are very comfy. Bathrooms are lovely, complimentary hand wash, shampoo, and conditioner available. Breakfast is buffet style with an array of choices. Continental to full English. We would definitely use this hotel again.

Overall experience was great. Good check-in experience: receptionist was able to handle my custom requests very well. Location was quite central as well.Docking a bit of points because the service after checkout was terrible. I had mistakenly left something in the hotel.I had called them and they had it. I went back to pick it up but I was made to wait about an hour before I was handed my things. I had to constantly keep following up.They even asked me to come back the next day without checking that that was my last day in London. Manager stepped in and promptly assisted me. They need to train their new reception staff better.

Our AAA travel agent showed us photos of beautiful rooms with lots of space, well appointed bathrooms, comfort, comfort, comfort. We got here and were told there were now only two rooms available. (What happened to our beautiful reserved rooms?) We took the one with the bath. We got up to this room and found we’d be practically climbing over each other for this stay.Cramped, but it’s clean shiny. Once we had our suitcases open there was no room to the room at all. You can put them on the bed, the couch, the coffee table, but forget sitting anywhere to put your shoes on.Night, and though it’s 50 degrees cool outside, the room is hot and steamy. Of course you can’t open a window but the air conditioning on high must be set at 80 degrees and there’s no way to cool this room off. Take a bath or shower and the heat is right there with you. Not comfortable.A one person room for two, but the heat would be miserable anyway.

This hotel is a great hotel with a friendly staff that will help with your trip and give you advice. The bar has a nice variety of options and has lots of nice seating options for everyone. The location is close to anything and you can get to a restaurant or store in less than 10 minutes. The room is nice and clean, and the beds are comfortable. The only concerns are that the room is a little small especially the bathroom. Overall, it was a very convenient and nice hotel.

First just to note, this hotel is 10 mins walk from King's Cross station. The room I stayed in was adequate. It had a double and a camp bed which was made up restricting access to the desk.The room itself was clean and comfy. It is a bigger hotel than many and so was quite busy. The queue for breakfast was pretty long by 8:30am. It was also busy at 6:30 but there was no need to queue. Otherwise it was pretty good with a good choice of hot and cold food.Check-in was straightforward with a number of manned desks rather than needing to use a screen.

Stayed here for 3 nights with friends. Visited for the Patriots and Jaguars NFL game in Wembley. Very nice hotel, modern, well maintained and clean. This hotel is located about 10 or 15mins walk away from King's Cross Transit Station so location is good for us. Room clean and nice however a bit on the small side for 3 of us. Staff friendly. Breakfast included and very good, lots of options available, continental, full fryup, cereals, yoghurt, fruit, coffee and teas. Barfood not great, had soup and chicken sandwich, bread was abit stale but it was fine otherwise,abit pricey though. Restaurant at night is very good also, food good, had fish and chips, really good. One minor thing, the toilets were located outside past reception and downstairs. None at the restaurant or bar. Leisure centre on site also, but I didn't use. Overall this hotel was ideal for us,location convenient and facilities good, I would return.
