A very easy check in. Staff were very helpful. The room was clean and felt fancy for the space. We were staying in the hotel for an occasion and they went the extra mile to make it super special which we really appreciated. It was a shame the family room was two doubles (my children really don't like to share a bed so as adults we had to sleep separately to divide them up) but that's my only constructive feedback. We had the breakfast option, which had lots of selection. On the check out they let the kids keep the keys as a souvenir which they are thrilled with. Thank you for a lovely stay and some lovely birthday memories.

Hotel is ok, rooms are a bit dated and carpets a bit musty. Window wouldnt open so no fresh air. Other than that rooms were ok, staff were pleasant and only a 10 minute walk to the tube. Breakfast was a bit chaotic with about a 20 min queue to be seated. Staff xoped really well and good selection condlsidering how busy it was. Not a bad place just as a base

I loved my room on the 6th floor with direct view of the Post Office Tower. The bed was unbelievably comfortable - such a thick mattress! The room was spotlessly clean. The only weird thing was the hairdryer is fixed into the drawer of the desk which is fine however there was no mirror . The nearest one being at least 6ft away and attached to the wall so I had to style my hair with no mirror. Result - not great!! But otherwise I would definitely stay at Crowne Plaza again. The room was really quiet too.
