The location is in newly developed area of King’s Cross and is very modern. Bar food is average at best and we had to go out to eat better. I ordered a lamb kofta meal (cost 39£ ) on the 3 rd day of our stay and I could not eat this meal, at best it resembled something that was found behind an oven with salad heading south and cold chips, after waiting 25 mins. We have stayed in many Crowne plazas and the bar food here needs significant review towards improvement . We reported our concern twice and no offer of refund. Otherwise the staff here were super friendly and helpful. We won’t be back here again.

Fantastic room, but since we stayed over new year there was a queue for breakfast both days. However, there was enough food when we got a table. Also had to take stairs due to amount of people. It was unfortunate that 1 lift was out of action over such a busy period. Staff were friendly though.

When sharing as a family of 4, two double beds is less than ideal. Needs updating with single beds as well as a double. Our room was nice but it needed some TLC in areas.
