I recently organized a small surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, and although I wasn’t there in person, the team at Crowne Plaza London – Gatwick Airport went above and beyond. Special thanks to the Guest Relations Executive, Anna, for helping me, ensuring every detail was perfect. They arranged cake, added a personal card, and even two drink vouchers. They handled delivering flowers I ordered separately, and everything went smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for better service, and I am so grateful for their care and attentiveness. Thank you!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Crown Plaza Gatwick Airport Hotel, and I was blown away by the exceptional service and hospitality provided by the staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a friendly welcome. The front desk team were efficient and helpful, checking me in quickly and answering all my questions.The room was comfortable and clean, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. But what really made my stay stand out was the staff's attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. From the friendly bar staff to the helpful concierge team, everyone I interacted with was professional, courteous, and eager to assist.I was particularly impressed by Aditya from the front office who helped in finding the easiest and fastest way to reach London without spending huge amounts of money on taxis. His kindness and expertise made a huge difference to my stay.Overall, I would highly recommend the Crown Plaza Gatwick Airport Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and stress-free stay near the airport. Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful stay!

Staff were amazing, really made my stay here a very good experience. Front desk staff, thank you 🙏🏽I ordered food from menu, explained I was lactose intolerant and a veggie. The head chef came out personally to see what I would like. Very nice gesture, and he whipped up a very tasty curry. 10/10Great spot

As diamond elite members we stay at a lot of IHG hotels and this is up there with the best. Lovely club room - very clean and everything you need. Comfortable bed and lovely rainfall shower. The buffet breakfast cannot be faulted and the hot selection was definitely hot and fresh. Above all, the staff are so polite and helpful. A special mention for Krish on reception he is delightful and really looked after us. He is an asset to the hotel and because of him we booked 2 more stays. Highly recommended.

Hugely expensive hotel (booked at last minute so had no choice). The receptionist did upgrade when I showed my surprise at the price which was a nice thing to do. I ate the mutton curry which was not particularly good. I have had this curry before and it can be lovely. It felt like the meat had not been cooked for long enough and the rice had been cooked for too long. I don't want sticky rice with an Indian curry.

Please do not be put off by the outside of the building. Inside is spacious and fresh and the food is great. But the most impressive thing is the staff. I’ve never met so many friendly staff members in one place 😁 Thanks especially to Diana on reception 😊
