It's a great location, close to public transport and its location affords guest a great choice of dining experiences within walking distance. It's a minor thing, but our room appeared to lack any overhead lighting, thereby making it a little difficult to find anything at night.

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.
