Crowne Plaza London - The City

Hotel bien situado, en la City, estacion de metro justo al lado. Las habitaciones son excelentes y el bufett de desayuno muy completo.

Es la tercera vez que me alojo en este hotel, por lo que ya pueden suponer que me gusta. La localizacion es muy buena, solo hay que coger la salida 8 de Blackfriars para estar en la puerta del hotel. La atencion totalmente profesional y amable. Hay recepcionistas que hablan espanol. Las habitaciones estan bien equipadas y limpias y el desayuno es correcto.Solo tiene un pero y es el precio, pero ya se sabe, esto es Londres. Espero volver alli pronto.

My wife and I stayed at the Crowne Plaza City from 29 Dec 08 to 1 Jan 2009. I got a good deal through the Travel Republic web-site, bed and full buffet breakfast for less than L100 per night. Reception staff were very efficient and helpful and all aspects of my booking were dealt with smoothly. The Reception area is large and modern with a roaring gas fire to beat the very cold weather.We were given a complimentary upgrade and the corner room on floor 5 was clean, spacious and very well equipped.

Breakfast was adequate for a 4 star hotel and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

My only complaint was with the Concierge service who failed to inform me of any of the New's Years Eve arrangements in the Hotel. I had asked on the 30th December what was available and was told that apart from the L115 per head Gala Function in the Italian Restaurant there was nothing else. I therefore booked a meal in a nearby restaurant. I was then surprised to find an information sheet pushed under our room door late on New's Eve telling me of an alternative L55 per head meal in Spicer's Restaurant, a function with food in the Bar and a disco

in the Lobby! Had I known I would have booked a table in Spicer's Restaurant.

However, we were able to partake of the disco and our meal at Cafe Rouge was somewhat cheaper.

The pub over the road - The Black Friar is of historic interest, very popular and atmospheric, serves proper pub grub at cheap prices and a selection of real ales. Not to be missed.

The location of the hotel is helped enormously by the proximity of Blackfriars tube on the District and Circle lines. When it closes for refurbishment for 3 years in March 2009 this will remove this benefit, making the hotel much more difficult to access by tube.

Overall a great hotel for the price paid with excellent staff.
