We stayed 5 nights and bed wasn't changed in that time. Pool and spa wasn't very clean . Steam room and sauna both out of action. Food was lovely as were the staff. Just little things. We paid £935 for 5 nights room and breakfast. 5 nights at 5* Grovenor is same price

This will do

Rather dated modern decor. Zero atmosphere. Lots of floors and elevators to navigate to find where you need to be. The location so close to the historic zone is very nice however.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were all kind and helpful. Easily the hotels best attribute. Our room was a slight disappointment, with the view facing closed buildings and alleys. I'd probably ask for a room on the opposite side for a beautiful landscape view. The room felt in need of a refresh and livening up, but we did so much we really only showered and slept. Which were accommodated without issue.

Disappointed

Disappointed from arrival. No car parking spaces at the hotel even though the car park said spaces. Car park was very tight casing me to kerb my alloy wheel on arrival. Once parked off site the check in took 35mins. 18 people in the queue to check in before us all complaining. No sorry from reception. Room was terribly dated, dirty and noisy as the windows are old and don’t reduce the road noise. On top of the poor service we only had one towel in the bathroom for 2 people??? Very poor and very brand damaging. I will never stay in a crown plaza again.
