Crowne Plaza LONDON - SHOREDITCH

liegt nahe dem Finanzzentrum - gut fürs Business. Für Sightseeing gibts idealere Wege. ist zwar schon ein Weile her - aber Zimmer, Frühstück (schöne Aussicht) und Service absolut in Ordnung - war schon öfter dorf

A true 4 star hotel. the hotel was as clean as can be and the staff is well organized and polite. It is located close to many artsy, hip bars and lounges, but not close enough to underground tube stations, though several bus routes stop right in front of the hotel. There are two strip clubs within two blocks which just adds to the interesting surroundings. A fantastic, trendy pizza joint called Pizza East is just two blocks away. The pool is not free to use which I think is lame, but didn't bother me that much since I was always out exploring anyway. this is quality hotel overall considering the price.

The hotel is very nice. Contemporary decor and beatiful rooms, great be and bathroom. the room service was outstanding. A litle far from the next underground station but buses are stopping in front of the hotel.

The hotel appears to be recently renovated, with all new furnishings. Bathroom was quite large (especially for a London hotel), and the shower worked well (good water pressure). The flat screen TV was a little small. I stayed in a club room, and access to the club lounge. The club lounge had free bottled water and some snacks (chips and fruit), which was a nice touch. The location was okay. I walked there from Liverpool Street Station (about a 5-10 minute walk), and along the way there was 1-2 blocks that seemed a little less safe, but not too bad.

I was hoping the hotel would be closer to some shops and other attractions. It's a 10-minute walk to the the train station and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel. The rooms are fairly clean. Be sure to bring an alarm clock since the only clock in the room is on the TV. The bathroom is pretty impressive and the tube is huge. Just wished my room had views of the city instead of the apartment and office buildings next door. The concierge staff were the most helpful. Front desk staff proved to be pretty useless when called on. I hope to go back to London soon and I would prefer to stay elsewhere, hopefully some place closer to the great shops with more foot traffic. Otherwise, fairly nice place.
