We had a delightful long weekend at the Crown Plaza. Staff were friendly and super helpful. Our room was very quiet, comfortable and overlooked the river which was beautiful day and night. We enjoyed the pool and were in walking distance to things we wanted to do. Our only issue was construction affecting access and Uber drivers were confused which meant an unplanned walk with bags. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Easy walk to Southbank & into the Theatre. Breakfast was enjoyable and our room was dark and quiet for sleeping on the 9th floor with a comfortable mattress and linen. We will stay again
