The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross station. It has a beautiful lobby, lounge and restaurant. It is in a safe area and is nice and quiet. The staff are very professional and helpful. Our family room was snug and there wasn’t any controllable a/c, but otherwise, no complaints.

Convenient location, welcoming staff and the breakfast was really good. However, the property is dated, doesn’t justify the price I paid for the room, housekeeping services are poor. I’ve had better experience at other IHG hotels, was a bit of a let down.

Friendly staff at check-in. The room was ready before 3 pm, which we appreciated after a long journey. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Breakfast was ok, but the scarmbled egg was cold. Good variety of food and fruit juice was nice. Seated quickly despite it being peak time for breakfast. Further than I thought to Kings Cross tube, a good 15/ 20 minute walk. Would probably stay there again though.

Noisy latecomers next door!

Very nice hotel overall. Good breakfast. Comfortable and very clean room. Only disappointment, but impactful, room had an adjoining door to another and conversations and general noise woke us up at 1.30 in the morning. We would have appreciated being asked if we minded before being allocated the room.

A great place to stay when visiting London. Centrally located, very clean, great air conditioning. Luggage storage and friendly staff. Only complaint was lack of lounge area, rooms are small and there isn't anywhere that you are allowed to eat outside your room if you don't want to go out. Overall I highly recommend.

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.
