Overall Ratings & Reviews Crowne Plaza LONDON - GATWICK AIRPORT, an IHG Hotel

Amazing experience, i was pleasantly greeted on arrival and my room was upgraded to a suite for free! The room was lovely, very comfy and a nice large bed. Food and room service were excellent and all of the staff were very polite and helpful. Will definitely book there again when in next staying in the area

Quick overnight between flights. Slight problem at check in as the computer went down but we were immediately given a free drinks voucher and led to the bar to wait, then once sorted, the key was brought to us. Room absolutely perfect - a king sized bed and 2 singles. Included breakfast was great, and given the price we paid for the room, it was a real bargain. Would 100% recommend. Shuttle bus to/from airport was handy, and cost £5 pp each way.

Really happy. Booked almost a year in advance and got a great price. Friendly staff - even offered my kids a much appreciated chocolate bar on arrival. . Quick check in, taken to the room as it was hard to find, and it was excellent. Booked a family room and it had a double bed (might have been king sized, not sure) a double pull out sofa and a separate camp bed, for 4 of us. Clean comfortable and had everything we needed. Really appreciated the little bottles of water in the room. I’ve stayed in loads of different chains with work and for pleasure and Crowne plaza is a cut above.

I was greeted by Anna on Reception who noticed I had parked using my disabled badge and was trying to pay for car parking in reception (as the signage outside said I must do)/ She told me to stop downloading the app and paying online as the price of parking was included with my overnight stay. She helped me with my luggage and stored it for me. The hotel had upgraded me to a room but it was furhter away from the lift and she could see that I would be checking out at 3:30am and needed to walk as little as possible. She changed the room booking for one closer to the lift, provided me with a complimentary voucher for a drink and gave me a kit kat whilst I waited for the room to be made up. She stored my luggage and came to find me when the room was ready having put my luggage in it for me. As I had been travelling since 5:30am, this was very welcome.

No proper management In issuing of bill. Making mistakes and duplicates invoice charge. This is inconvenient to do back and forth and cost time consuming.

The room was so cold, the air con was flashing with ‘filter needs cleaning’ on screen, could not sleep because of the cold- even got up and had a bath to try and warm up but just couldn’t get warm. Reception said they would speak to manager but we have heard nothing

Lovely stay here and so reasonable. We were in a very large room, nearly too big. It was in an unusual part of the hotel, but we didn't mind. Would absolutely recommend this hotel. The only drawback is the choice on draft in the bar, they just weren't to our taste

Stayed for flight in Gatwick. Great location to park, stay and take a bus in to the airport. Other than that everything is average to bad. Room looks newly renovated, but the ac heating isn’t good enough as the windows are not well insulated and room stays cold. The doors are small and old, which does not isolate sound at all. Consistent noise throughout the night and you can hear it quite well. Shower pressure is weak. Breakfast is fine but the seating and service is bad. Also, placed the do not disturb door sign, but the attendant still tried to come in and ask if we want housekeeping.

Ideal night stay prior to our flight

Really excellent service and very clean rooms.

Hotel reception, bar and breakfast areas were good and the breakfast options were great. However the staff were not as attentive at Breakfast as expected in such a high standard hotel. The coffee machine was always being emptied of products and always running out of cups to use and it was difficult to access the additional items on the menu. The bar and restaurant food was very good and we enjoyed a lovely evening in the bar with family for drinks. The rooms were small but adequate, but could do with a little TLC regarding painting, renew the showers with a better performing shower. Cleaning staff of the room was excellent and ensured the room was cleaned regularly. The beds was very comfortable with great pillows and I enjoyed a good night sleep.

Apart from the awkward size & exit of the lift to the accessible room everything else suited the purpose of the stay.

Great place to stay pre holiday flights

Clean but tired. Food was excellent but waiting staff removed my plate while my husband was still eating!! A small thing but…!

No hair dryer in the room

Really nice hotel. Excellent staff. We arrived early and they stored our luggage and we had a nice, reasonably priced, meal in the bar area. We missed this on the site, but they do have a shuttle service from the airport for just 5 pound each (we ended up paying 29 pounds for a taxi) Overall a great place to stay after a long flight.

Wry clean convenient and friendly staff.

Lovely room, good service in the restaurant

One night stay just to catch early flight out of Gatwick. - Very convenient since it is the last stop on the airport shuttle bus (about 20 min ride). We could not have breakfast but the dinner menu was great..

Great hotel and great location for the airport. Great service and all good but ….. one thing ….. no plug sockets at the head of the bed. I use a CPAP machine which meant we had to trail cables across the room.
