We enjoyed our stay. Thought the price point was up there with such tiny rooms. Room service was quite limited. No dietary items to choose and all a bit fancy. I’m very fussy on bed comfort, but it was great. Easy walk to crown and Southbank. Easy tram ride to marvel stadium. Very quiet. Rooms are really dark in the morning for easy sleep ins.

Awesome family time.

We had an amazing family time at Crowne Plaza. Perfect location and accessible to public transport just in front of the hotel. Kids had fun in the pool. The room was clean and had the perfect view on the river and the crown flames at night. Lots of restaurants around and in the building whcih even offer room services. We will definitely come back.

It would have been nicer if we had the view side of the property instead of the pool side. The entrance to the building was difficult too, the person at the door should have told us to take out our bags from the car instead of making us bring them from the car park not close to the entry. Otherwise room was clean and well presented. Staff were helpful when needed.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff, close to everything we wanted to see. Extremely clean rooms and gym facilities. Good amount of gym equipment and machines. Pool was ok, not heated but very refreshing and a very small number of lounge chairs.
