As we are expecting our first baby in 6 weeks, this was our last weekend getaway to London. We had a wonderful stay at the Crown Plaza. The location is excellent as it is only a few minutes away from Buckingham Palace. When we arrived at 2 check-in time, we still had to wait for 45 minutes to check-in as our room was not ready. Our first room was a refurbished room (the Standard rooms are prettybut very small) but had no view and was on the noisy side. We opted for a non refurbished room and had a lovely view overlooking the fountain area of the hotel. The non refurbished area of the hotel is on the tired side. Staff is very attentive and everyone makes you feel welcome! We definitely had a lovely time and would highly recommend the Crown Plaza. We will be back once our little one is born.

Classic apperance, attractive location. They seem to have some attractive Most rooms are not refurbished, and are in quite a poor condition compared to teh refurbishged rooms featured in photos. I am also most certain that some of the rooms are less than the 25 m2 stated. I complained about my rooms standard and size, and was relocated to another room which size- and arrangement-wise was acceptable. In the first room, the door to the bathroom was locked in closed position. It too k considerabel time before a service guye showed up. Slipers were missing in both rooms, and I had to ask for them to bring. At check-out, a bill from the bar had incorrectly been registered on my room. They cancelled it, but they were not abel to show a signed invoice, which left me with an uneasy feeling that they were not really sure if I was cheating or not. There were generally a bit "slack" in attentiveness throughout, which is not befitting the hotel.

I thought the welcome was exceptional. It took a while to check in which was slightly frustrating. The hotel was in immaculate condition, we were very impressed with the room and would definitely request the same room again, it was very quiet, nicely appointed and the bed was very comfortable. We used the gym facilities which were excellent. Unfortunately we didn't eat at the hotel but would definitely consider that next time. The scaffolding was slightly unfortunate, but certainly not a problem for us and we didn't hear any of the building work taking place. I can't say anything negative about our stay - it was excellent.

This was a fantastic hotel in a brilliant location just up the road from St James Park and Buckingham Palace. Fantastic restaurant & spa facilities and staff were superb with valet parking. On the downside one of the bars is very small and the breakfast is very expensive but there are a couple of excellent local cafes offering great English restaurant. Overall fantastic and would definitely recommend and come back thanks Small bar area (not Zantander) and very very expensive breakfast

There seemed to be no room at the Crowne Plaza: I was put up in the nearby 51 suites. I wish to recommend this Taj set of suites. Staff were extremely friendly, place was superbly furnished, and comfort superb.

The Crown Plaza is a slow ten minute walk from Victoria underground and mainline station. Or a five minute walk from St James tube station. I was made very welcome by the reception staff. The room was lovely. Breakfast was included in my stay which was a unexpected surprise and was very nice. Overall a very pleasant overnight stay in central London. .

The location was fantastic for our city break within in walking distance to a lot of sights. The room was very clean and had a great mini bar. Staff were very friendly. We had booked room only as the £18.50 per person for breakfast was too high. We went to Browns around the corner and paid half the price.

The reception was friendly, informative and helpful. The room was very nice, not over large but perfectly suitable for a weekend (1 night) break. It was comfortable with excellent facilities, lovely bathroom and generous sized shower. The room was spotlessly clean - how do you get your mirrors and surfaces absolutely smear free. The breakfast offered a wide choice and the quality was very good. Set us up well for our days out as t.he hotel is idealy situated for theatres and shopping. We enjoyed our stay very much and would certainy recommend to friends and family. There were no dislikes
