The hotel offers a high standard stay with very clean rooms, great dining options including a cafe style, bar, and Asian restaurant. The service, however, lacked effort in satisfying guests. The location is fine, though not allowing easy access to the hotel entrance. Dining was excellent with discreet service and a great variety of foods.

The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms, but the bathroom design is outdated resembling a scene from a 1970's movie. The service is friendly and attentive, although the suggestion to only drink tap water might not suit everyone. The location is ideal for exploring the city, with multiple dining options nearby. The dining experience varies from poor to excellent depending on the restaurant choice, but overall, options are abundant. The facilities are well-maintained with certain areas needing improvement.

I was thrilled with our stay at the Crowne! The room's layout with a direct view of the bed was fantastic, and the decent breakfast was just what we needed. On the flip side, not having in-room tea/coffee or a kettle was a bit of a miss for me.
