• The staff was incredibly helpful and efficient.
• The restaurants were too expensive.

“London's Crowne Plaza: the city hotel is a pleasure. The rooms are beautiful, the staff is helpful, and the hotel is located within walking distance of some of London's best landmarks and museums. Access to the underground train system is less than one block away. It was the perfect hotel for a one week stay in London.”

• Good location, friendly staff, lots of light in room.
• The view of the crane and construction site.

“The room was light and airy and clean. I liked that the room was not hot and claustrophobic feeling like some hotel rooms. The hotel was located near major sites and we walked and walked and walked fun!”

• Everything - location, room, staff. Great place.
• Can range on the pricey side.

“This is a great spot just step from Fleet Street, and a short walk to Embankment Station and the exciting waterfront. From here my wife and I toured the highlights of the city and enjoyed ourselves more than we did a week later when we stayed near Paddington Station. The room was beautiful and spacious with a fabulous bathroom.”

• Amazing service. After we called the Concierge for a phone number he actually called the place we need info from and got it for us.
• Because it is in the business district there is not a lot of options for food near on the weekends.

“The Crown Plaza was better than I had imagined. Usually in London ( and most European Cities) you get a small room and small beds. This was set up like an American style room very large. The staff was great and they had early check in without any problems. Very close to the Underground (Backfires on the Circle/ District line). Only problem is that due to the location (the Business District) there is not many options for food outside of the hotel that are near. If you dont mind walking a bit go East about a mile. The Millennium Bridge will be on your right and the Wren (St. Pauls? Cathedral) will be on your left. There are some food options by the Cathedral and if you cross the Millennium Bridge (amazing views) and go to the left of Shakespeare's Globe; there are a few restaurants.”

• Our room surpassed our expectations. The suite was luxurious, spacious and very, very comfortable.
• The hotel was fantastic.

“What a wonderful way for two tired Aussies to finish off our stay in England with the last two nights at the Crowne Plaza London. Our suite was spacious, luxurious and very, very comfortable. All our needs had been anticipated. The king size bed was so comfortable, and the deep bath with the quality toiletries a definite winner. What a wonderful touch, also, the coffee peculator and the chocolates. Absolutely divine. I feel I must give this hotel a ten out of ten. We will definitely come again.”

“Fantastic hotel, in a perfect location on the banks of the River Thames, near St Pails, Tate Modern and some fantastic restaurants at Smithfields. The staff where incredibly friendly and real helpful, even after we had checked out. The room was clean, spacious, and modern, with a very comfortable bed, with the luxury robes, slipper and Molten and Brown products in the bathroom; a perfect place for a retreat and to recover the pre-season blues.”

• The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
• It wasn't quite 4 star quality.

“The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful from helping us check in and store our luggage, to finding us a great restaurant, to suggesting near by attractions. The room was clean, comfortable, and attractive. While I do not think the hotel was quite at a 4 star level, I was not disappointed at all with my stay. It was a great location, and there were no outstanding negatives to this hotel. I would stay here again.”

“The best hotel in London to stay if you are a tourist. This place was great. The staff are terrific they were so helpful and the nicest people and trust me I am not the nicest when it comes to poor service. These people where the greatest hotel staff I have ever worked with. I am a former business traveler and I rate this as one of the best experiences I have ever had. If you go out the front door and 15 steps to the right is the Underground transit system and trust me this is the only way to travel in London. Everyone helped us on how to navigate and we did not get lost once. English breakfast downstairs is good, it costs but if you bought their package they upgrade your room and give you club level. We took advantage of that because it gave you breakfast every morning and free drinks like soda water and snacks plus in the evening beer which if you drink even a few you get your money back considering a soda in pounds is like 7 dollars for u.s. Anyhow, bravo to Crowne Plaza London the city. We are recommending you to all of our friends.”

• The heated mirrors in the bathrooms prevent them from fogging up when you shower!
• The cleaning staff accidentally left an opened box of chocolate in our room (rare occurrence here)!

“I have stayed in the Crowne Plaza London - The City on numerous trips to London. Each time I have been extremely pleased with the experience. The hotel staff is friendly, courteous, and eager to please. The location of the hotel is fantastic - just steps away from a tube station, and only a short walk from the River Thames, the Globe Theater, the London Eye, and other London attractions. The hotel is clean, attractive, and has a modern touch to it. I love everything about the Crowne Plaza London - The City, and I hope I can stay at this hotel for my next trip to London. ”

• Excellent staff, huge room
• Nothing to dislike

“Very modern hotel, huge comfortable room was pristine, staff exceptionally polite and helpful. Not for those seeking "traditional English ambiance" but otherwise a terrific hotel. Location in business area, short ride on tube or bus to tourist sites. Hotel's food pricey but good; lots of cheaper places to eat nearby. Tube station across the street, St. Paul's a couple of blocks away, Globe Theatre and Tate Modern just across the Thames.”

• Luxurious, modern, clean, very nice!
• Everything was great. That part of the city is quiet on weekends.

“This was a beautiful hotel, very luxurious. London The City is vacant on the weekends because it is the business/financial district. The location was great to St.Paul's Cathedral, the Museum of London, and the Tower of London. Next to Blackfriars Tube stop. Would definitely stay here again!”

• Good location and very nice rooms. Hotel staff very friendly.

“This hotel is a more modern business type hotel but located in the heart of London only steps from the Blackfriar Circle Line Station. Right outside the room was a major construction project however they did not work late or early and it was not a problem at all. In general for the price a great value.”

• The location was the best part, close to St. Paul's and Tate Modern
• The heating in the rooms could have been better and we were often allowed just one key

“I recommend this hotel for its location. Food in the hotel is a little pricey. If you ask for an extra key, hold on to it, or the hotel staff will take it back when the room is cleaned.”
