Great location, but room for improvement.

Hotel is located in great neighborhood with convenient access to the underground, buses, etc. to tour London. AC was not working properly and the bathroom is very small, water splashes everywhere the fan does not help to get rid of humidity.

Check in was easy and straight forward. The room was far from the lifts so we enjoyed the quiet. It was not very clean but not very dirty either. The staff seemed to be floating around, unaware of one another. We ordered a bottle of sparkling water whilst waiting for our room, the bottle was not sealed properly and it was flat. The waiter brought a second bottle, flat again. At breakfast no labelled vegan options, and when i asked staff to check ingredients for me they seemed annoyed/clueless. Turns out there was 1 type of dry bread and 1 granola suitable . Fresh fruits were apples and oranges...we have had beyter breakfasts in smaller hotels! Very disappointed!

Exceeded my expectation!

Our stay at the Crowne Plaza hotel was delightful. After arriving early in London at St. Pancras station, we walked 15 minutes to the hotel. The reception staff were welcoming and informed us that our room was ready, even though it was only 9:30 am. This allowed us to settle into our room ahead of schedule. Everything exceeded our expectations - the room was immaculate, with the added bonus of complimentary hot chocolate, biscuits, and a jug of water. The toiletries provided were of superior quality. The hotel's location is excellent, with a convenient store nearby that stays open until 11 pm. For travelers from the US seeking a spacious hotel room with air conditioning and an elevator, this is the perfect choice. The entire staff we interacted with were fantastic. During check-out, they kindly offered to store our luggage until our evening train back to Paris. This allowed us to explore London further before departing in the evening.

great location. near to multiple bus stops and 20 min walk from farringon/kings cross. few convenience stores near by. Breakfast was great. The reason for 3 stars is a non-functioning air conditioner for first two nights. issue was raised after first day, but there were no maintenance folks around and we were given table fans. problem was fixed on 3rd night after another reminder. not the service you expect for a hotel where you pay upwards of 300 pounds.

Location isn’t bad. An easy walk to Kings Cross even with large suitcases. The room itself had a very musty smell which wasn’t pleasant. The air conditioning was terrible in this current heatwave. It was cooler in the hallway than the room.

The day that we had our room cleaned on Day 2 of our trip, the room was not even cleaned, they just fixed the bed, we never got new towels. The carpet was dirty and our mugs and glasses were not exchanged. The room was vey small with a roll out bed. No hairdryer in the room. On the upside, the dining staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great, so may options. Overall, ok except for the ones mentioned above. Also, the front desk girls were very nice and helpful too.

We booked this thinking it was close to King’s Cross but it was actually a 20 minute walk away making it inconvenient for our needs. Check in was quick. The room looked a bit grubby and the bathroom could definitely have been cleaner. There wasn’t enough towels for my family and limited wardrobe space. Limited amenities. One free bottle tap water and 2 glasses between the 4 of us. Breakfast was not included either. Very basic stay.
