"great location" Stayed in this hotel with my family including 2 children. The hotel website would not let me book a family room so i had to telephone their booking centre. They were very helpful and rang the hotel to confirm. We had a king studio room which had a king size bed, sofa bed, nice chairs and very modern. Nice bathroom all marble and molton brown toiletries. These did not get replaced during our 2 night stay. I thought this was a bit on the tight side and when i asked if i could have another shower gel for my family of 4 as one does not last 2 nights, they gave me a cheap alternative. I thought for the price of the room they would not be so mean over a bottle shower gel that was included in the price of the room. If a customer is used to luxury products they do not want to be fobbed off with a nasty alternative. It did cost £231 per night though. This is a bit pricey. However, we had access to the Club lounge and included free drinks and canapes. No free internet though as in the club lounge they had old computer and charged £5 per hour of internet. A bit cheeky considering that they charge so much for the rooms. We had breakfast at the hotel as again this was included in our rate. Normally it is a continental buffet breakfast in the club lounge. However, it was a weekend so served in the normal restaurant and included a hot buffet. It was not the quality i would personally expect of a hotel of this quality. We were shown to the table but not offered tea and coffee as a normal first. We had to wave the waiter over for this. I thought this was bad as other hotel restaurants offer this first. The food was in troughs and obviously mass prepared. No how do you want your eggs cooked here. There is a starbucks across the road but this closes of a weekend as did lots of the other food shops nearby. It was deserted. I would of course say this is a plus if you want a quiet relaxing break. The location of this hotel is good - walking distance to the river, tate modern, st pauls cathedral. If you get the tube use exit 8 at blackfriars and the hotel is a stones throw away. If you want somewhere nice to eat walk over blackfriars bridge and turn left and there are some lovely bars and restaurants. There is also a pizza express and cafe rouge and simply m&s at st pauls and a few other eating places. The hotel reception was very plush, the staff very helpful and quick to maintain an excellent customer service. We discovered that we had no bedding in the room for the childrens sofa bed. We rang reception it was 10pm and they were very apologetic, returned our call to find out exactly what we needed and within 5 mins we had the bedding. Very good i thought.

"Fantastic- five star service" This rates as one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in- the staff were extremely attentive and the rooms had so many fantastic little details that other hotels skip upon. The Breakfasts were fantastic, with a fantastic range of choice and no-one ever had to wait on the buffet being restocked. The location was superb offering a fantastic walk along the Thames to all central amenities such as the London Eye and Westminster and in the other direction St Pauls Cathedral, The Globe and The Tate Modern. The rooms were superb- extremely clean (and I am extremely fussy)- there was so much attention to the decor- sculptures in room, fantastic luxury toiletaries, complimentary tea/coffee tray with little extras, fantastic television and comfort, well sound proofed from both noises outside and inside. The bar was extremely modern and ideal for a queit drink. The lobby and lobby staff were exceptional. I tend to like to visit different hotels each time I go to same place- but this will be my primary choice when in London from now on.

"Service with a personal Service, service, service. Just spent the weekend at this marvelous hotel and it was great. I informed the staff by email that my wife was having her birthday and they got her a card signed by all the staff. We also got a free upgrade. The room was nice and spacious enough to have a sofa, desk and double bed in it. Bathroom was great as well and had a heated mirror. The location was also great right next to Saint Paul's and the Tate Modern bridge with good links to the underground. The only things I would have them improve on was the cooked breakfast (tomatoes & mushrooms) tasted a bit funny and the potatoes were undercooked. The rest was delicious though. The view from the bedroom was also dissapointing as we looked over a massive air vent (still the upgrade outweighed this). Overall I would highly recommend this hotel simply for the amazing staff. Paid 50 pounds for the night with breakfast included.

"great place!" I stayed here for 4 nights and had a great experience. Would definitely stay again if I got a good rate. Pros: -good location -- Starbucks is right across the street, as is Blackfriar's tube statation. There are some good restaurants closeby as well. -interesting, modern decor (at little *too* modern for my tastes, but that's personal preference) -spacious room and elegant bathroom -great amenities in the rooms, like kettles, hot chocolate, tea, coffee, cookies, bottled water; loved the Molton Brown toiletries! -friendly, welcoming staff -comfortable beds Cons: -expensive (but hey, it's London) -don't bother with the restaurant, especially for breakfast. Mediocre and not worth the money.

"My favourite place" I am staying since 4 years on a regular (weekly) base in London. Have seen a lot of hotels. However have to say since one year I am a fan of the Crowne Plaza The City. Tube station in front of the hotel. The Thames river three minutes away.... and the nice design of the rooms and the public area...... my favourite place.

"Convenient and comfortable" received a warm welcome from the receptionist, who proceeded to check me in quickly. The room was very nicely furnished and reasonably spacious. As it was at the front of the hotel on the second floor there was some traffic noise, but this was acceptable and certainly not intrusive. Breakfast the next morning (included in the rate) was good. Overall a good experience

"First league!" We stayed at the CP-The City for two nights over the weekend. As PC Plat. Ambassador we got an upgrade to one of their beautiful club rooms. The lounge service is limited over the weekend but still on an acceptable level. Very stylish and warm hotel. Excellent staff. Tube station and bus stop are a step away, a pub is across the street and many nice and affordable restaurants are nearby. The nicest CP I know (a disguised InterContinental).

"Excellent Location, Excellent Hotel" Have travelled to England about 15 times and this is the best hotel I have stayed at in London. It is directly across the street from Blackfriars tube and the location is central to everything. The rooms were modern, immaculately clean, quiet, and very attractive. The non-smoking rooms were actually truly non-smoking. I will definitely stay here again.

"excellent" Just got back from London-Paris last weekend. Excellent hotel. Great location. Right next to the Blackfriar tube station so it was very convinient to go to all the sights. Since it is located in the financial district, the area is very quite at night and on the weekend, which my wife and I prefer since London is such as busy and crowded city like Tokyo. We got a superior room upgrade even though we book the hotel free using our priority club points. The room was large, very clean, nice modern decor, and a very nice bathroom. In room safe was also present, which is always a plus. They also give us free bottles of water everyday we stayed which is a very nice touch. The hotel staff, including the bell boy, was all very helpful and friendly. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in town:)
