Spent one night here for a conference and it was fine, but definitely not the most comfortable. Reception area was modern and welcoming, and a concierge rushed to help with my bags, which I was grateful for after a horrible tube journey. Fairly quick check in and was told the basics of what and where. Room was OK in size,... more

Booked this for one night and went for a superior double which has kingsize bed, slightly larger room than the standard and breakfats included - total price was £133. The area was fine and close to Hackney empire where we were seing a comedy show. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the best service we've had for a long... more

I've stayed at the Crowne Plaza a few times now in recent months after getting it on Hotwire and Priceline respectively. This one is great for those who know London; probably not so great for the tourist who wants to get around easily. Set in Shoreditch, about 15 minutes walk to Old Street underground, it's great for city access. The... more

The hotel its self is quite nice. There was an issue with the booking and they did their best to accommodate us. Free internet in the room was nice but I was bummed to see they put a charge on my card for "incidentals" even though I had paid in advance. It fell off a couple days after we left... more

We booked a room through Hotwire and ended up a the Crowne Plaza Shoreditch. The price was great, but I wasn't sure about the location. It is probably good if you have business in the City Center, but for site seeing it is a bit out of the way. However, the price and the quality make up for the difference.... more

We were impressed with the hotel and the friendly service. We had a problem initially because I had booked the wrong date through hotwire, but called the hotel and they said they would change the date for me no problem. I got there and they said it wasn't changed, and said I'd have to pay for the room again. The... more

In terms of Cowne Plazas it doesn't compare to the one at Blackfriars and is probably more in line to a Holiday Inn. Probably not the place to stay for tourists more a stopover for business people in the City. Its one great feature is the restaurant which has fantastic views over the City and London and is a real... more

The area immediately South of the hotel is still to be regenerated, so be warned. Upon entering the lobby, it's more like an upmarket travelodge - not what I would expect from this premier brand of ICHG. Staff had varying levels of English and I don't really expect them to be getting 'today' and 'tomorrow' mixed up. No additional security... more

I have stayed here many times - and have always been pleased with price, quality of rooms and service. My latest stay last week was no exception. In fact, I think this is my favourite 'chain' hotel, certainly in London, and probably worldwide when it comes down to it. I stay in lots of places for business and leisure and... more
