Crowne Plaza Heathrow

We were unlucky enought to leave our car at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Heathrow. It was broken ito and vandalized along with 13 others at around midnight -1am. The noise of all the car alarms and smashing glass went unoticed by the Manager on duty who, their leaflets advertise, completes security patrols both inside and outside the hotel. The hotel also boasts a comprehensive CCTV system. We were all parked in a row not far from the main entrance & reception area manned by a number of staff but the damage was "not noticed" until daylight the following morning! The hotel Managers denied all responsibiliy and still charged us for our one night stay and 3 weeks car parking. There was a considerable ammount of damage to our car alone and the insurance excess was expensive. The Managers advised us to claim on the hotel's insurance. The hotel's insurers state that "The hotel is not a secure enclosure and is not promoted as so." They deny all liability on the hotel's behalf.
The perpetrator was caught (on our occasion) thanks to the diligence of the police, a DNA match from blood found at the scene. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL MORE BREAK INS SINCE OURS... BEWARE! Check out the reviews on other websites as well... I wish we had.

Directions: Fairly close to Heathrow Airport.

Booked this hotel through the legoland site as a package, as we are a family of 5 and at this hotel we could all stay together in one room. Food was very expensive, average £15 for a main course, £7 for a glass of wine! children eat free but be careful as this is in the main restraunt only! child play room was for age 3-10 and only had baby toys. We had two nights of almost constent niose as walls are paper thin. Breakfast was good and the pool lovely but really not worth going just for them! staff not at all helpful and in some cases quite rude! Was really looking forward to staying at this hotel, really wish we hadnt bothered!

Stayed here several times and appreciate this hotel when having to catch a morning flight from Heathrow. For 2 pounds you can take a bus to Heathrow, and takes about 5-10 minutes. Very convenient. The hotel, even in the airport area is still somehow a bit cosy.

The rooms are nice, clean, kind of English style. Nothing spectacular, but all in all, good.

The fitness room is small and gets quite busy from time to time. I have been there at time when people have asked me when I was ready on a machine so they could go. There is also a swimming pool, a good one, you can use.

The restaurant is very nice. You can book the dinner&breakfast rate on IChotelsgroup.com. You then get a 3 course dinner and breakfast. The dinners I had here all were good. The breakfast is good as well, enough choice and good quality.

This hotel is situated very close to London's Heathrow Airport. It is perfect for the traveler who might need a hotel close to the airport whether it is for arrival or departure of London. The hotel offers the Airport "Hopper" van to shuttle guests to and from the airport for 3 pounds each way. This was important to me as I was traveling alone and did not know the city and public transportation very well, besides I did not want to struggle with my luggage on and off the train.

I booked this hotel through "hotwire.com" and received an incredible price of $74 usd

The hotel has very nice rooms with robes, the standard amenities such as shampoo, bath gel and nice soaps. However, I was unable to get the "trouser press" to function and there was no iron or ironing board in the room and there was no blow dryer in the room. Room service was prompt and well prepared. Here are a few of the amenites provided:

* ATM/Cash Machine * Beauty Salon * Concierge Services* Dry Cleaning Pickup/Laundry
* Foreign Currency Exchange * Gift Shop * On-site Guest Self-Laundry Facilities (washer/dryer)
* Porter/Bellman * Room Service* Safety Deposit Box available at Front Desk * Secretarial Services
* Shoe Shine * Swimming pool *high speed internet access

Lovely hotel. Pleasant staff. Great restaurants and room service. Beautifual luxury rooms. Cuddle into that complimentary bathrobe, and settle down with a burger from room service (really tasty!) and begin your holiday in relaxed style. Alternatively, check out the pool, sauna and jaccussi in the fitness block of the hotel. The pooll area is quiet and pleasant late in the evening.

Great location for early flights from Heathrow. There is a regular shuttle bus service from the hotel to all terminals. Check with hotel staff for details.

Best thing? Price! This is (obviously) an expensive hotel - but if you are prepared to book early, check out their web site for some brilliant early bird deals. We saved over £70!! They also have a lowest internet rate guarantee - no need to trawl discount hotel sites. (http://www.crowneplaza.co.uk)
