“Good weekend away”

We went as a couple having left kids with uncle and aunty. Great gym, pool, sauna etc. Breakfast was good but not fantastic. Fresh fruit was lovely loads of choice. Pastries and grilled items a bit short on selection but I am being picky. Never ate other meals as very pricey but loads of restaurants nearby. Bar likewise. Location is good, 10 minutes walk to town or fiver in taxi. River setting great and I bet really nice in summer. Staff really good and helpful. All round good experience, no problems. I would ask for river side room if posssible as near road is little noisy, nothing really just nicer to be other side.

“Very impressed”

We stayed here the one night and it was lovely. The receptionist on arrival was very friendly and helpful as were all the staff we came across. The hotel was very clean and breakfast lovely. I would recommend this hotel.

“Relaxing stay”

Great location next to the Thames and close to the train station. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the pool and spa facilities were really good (No children in the pool before 9am so chance for a nice quiet swim!) Spacious, clean, quiet rooms. Great valus for money ... will stay there again!

“Would definitely go back.”

Great hotel with excellent facilities.

“Excellent hotel”

This was an excellent hotel, right on the river Thames with river walks right on hand. The quality of the restaurant food was exceptional.

“A very pleasant place to stay for any purpose”

An excellent place to stay. Good secure parking, efficient service and a clean and comfortable environment to relax in.

“2 extremes ....................”

My Wife and I stayed at the Crowne Plaza for 1 night during Dec '09. The check-in was excellent. The Receptionist explained everything to us very well and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him. We were both extremely tired after a long haul flight and we were pleasantly surprised when he explained our room was ready to occupy early in the morning. The room itself was very nice, both clean and spacious. We can't comment on what dinner was like in the restaurant as we didn't make use of it. All of that said, there is sadly a downside. The breakfast was quite frankly awful. There was nobody behind the breakfast bar to take orders for eggs etc. What was available looked as though it had been there for sometime. I say what was available because, I have my doubts if anyone was checking to see what needed topping up. My wife finally found a waitress, who appeared to be wishing she was somewhere else, and ordered a fried egg. When the egg did arrive, by which time the other food on the plate had cooled, the white was runny. After what appeared to be an eternity, we managed to grab the attention of the disinterested waitress to explain about the egg. It was taken away and brought back and looked like the original egg which had been thrown back into the frying pan for an extra 2 minutes. I do recommend staying here, as we both had a very relaxing time at the hotel, but would suggest you find somewhere else to eat, as it was the breakfast that badly let this lovely hotel down.
