Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The room. The proximity to the airport.
The shower. Would prefer one with a flexible shower hose. The shower head is stuck to the wall.
Pretty well all. Reception very good. So was breakfast and dinner
Shower in bath was not the most user friendly
The location to Gatwick while still close to restaurants and in a peaceful setting surrounded by abundant trees. The well appointed rooms with super comfy beds and linens. The breakfast buffet have a lovely variety of options!
No free shuttle to the airport- this has changed since our last stay. Now a large bus comes and it costs 10£ and you have to haul your bags up to lead them yourself. Last week stayed in the Crowne Plaza in Geneva and they had shuttle bus that was free and they took care of the bags.
The gentleman on reception was incredibly kind to me when I checked in very upset after being turned away from my flight at Gatwick due to an issue with my passport being over 10 years old. His kindness was what made my stay so comfortable at a terrible time. Thank you!
The garlic bread was burnt when delivered to my room.
Comfy beds. Fabulous staff.
Room pretty run down. Cost me £350 for a night. Not 4 star.
The outside is a bit tired but looks are deceiving. The inside is very nice.
The room was overpriced but we had to pay a premium since the London airspace was basically shut down.
Concierge Anna and chef Paul were wonderful. So helpful. Due to the nature of our holiday we had a lot of heavy luggage and we needed the help
The room was a bit small and dated for the cost of the stay
Staff was amazing and very accommodating
Clean and tidy
The staff was excellent, kind and friendly, the Restaurant also was very good meals.
Would like more near to Airport.
The bar
Room wasnt what was advertised Dated Terrible condition Massive light shining through the window all night
Excellent location, lovely breakfast. Idris is an amzing Chef. He spoke to us politely and took our orders. He made our breakfast 😋 😍
We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, and one of the highlights was definitely the food. Chef Idris made every meal truly memorable during the breakfast. A big thank you to Chef Idris and the staff for the excellent food and hospitality.
Alyssa was very helpful and kind during my stay here. Highly recommended :)
It looked quiet sleek
Poor sleep and very poor food quality
The bed was comfortable
The toilet didn’t flush well The safe wasn’t operational when we arrived The heat/air was difficult to adjust The toilet seat kept falling down during use The location was not good for people with mobility problems The cost of breakfast was too high
The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and everything felt clean and well maintained. Both the air conditioning and shower worked very well, maintaining a consistent and comfortable temperature throughout my stay. Overall, I was satisfied with the room and found it comfortable and pleasant. The breakfast, however, was just adequate. While there was enough available, I felt the overall choice, quality and presentation could have been better.
lthough I was generally happy with my stay, there were a couple of areas that were disappointing and could certainly be improved. Breakfast: For breakfast, I ordered a very softly cooked, (French-style) cheese omelette. Unfortunately, what arrived was more like a pancake. It was overcooked on one side and undercooked on the other, and was not what I would expect from a properly prepared French-style omelette. Room: The room itself was comfortable and clean. However, when I opened the curtains, I was very disappointed to see that the outside of the window was extremely dirty, with a large amount of bird mess across the glass. This really spoiled the view and gave a poor impression, particularly as the rest of the room was well maintained.
We stayed for 19 days as a combination of business and personal holiday. Had a great time, we only had one minor maintenance issue and that was resolved within a couple hours while we were away. The service staff was great. They seemed to recognize enough they got comfortable speaking to us at breakfast and just generally making sure my wife and I were satisfied. Crawley isn’t the most happening place in the UK, but when I come back this place will be my first choice.
Where do I start from.the moment you arrive the reception staff are so lovely and helpful and truly care ! I have been to a few CPs like London and Plymouth This one at Gatwick they truly care ! Ask how you are and if u need anything else! Nothung is too much for them ❤️ A special thank you to Vijaya nothing is too nuch for her she goes beyond her role her customer service is second to none ! I have seen her interact with guests she is truly professional and never is sad or unhappy truly a remarkable person! Also a big thank you to Albert he is a true star too and goes beyond nothing is too much for him going out the way to locate a luggage trolley or giving advice and helping guests with any difficulties he is always alert and never keeps guests waiting and truly cares about people these two amazing staff members needs to be recognised and rewarded for their service ! Also ti the amazing other reception staff who are so lovely and helpful in every sense . The breakfast is really good needs improving though more choices like eggs benidict etc. I believe the Dinner menu needs improving I had the butter chicken curry the chicken was so dry and the sauce was covering it how dry it so was also the burger my partner had the bun was so hard it was inedibale . But the overall stay was truly lovely and from the restaurant staff are so attentive and care too . I will be returning end of month cant wait! ❤️❤️
Comodità, navetta e cordialità. Ottima colazione a buffet
L'arredamento della stanza un po' datato con moquette.
Comfortable bed and lovely clean room
Fridge wasn’t working but they brought me ice and offered to fix but I didn’t want workmen in my room as I was tired. Also the water pressure for shower in my room wasn’t great. But good enough.
Goede ligging en goede faciliteiten
I am very satisfied with my stay at the hotel. The room was very clean, bright, and had a pleasant, fresh smell. The breakfast was varied and filling. I was especially impressed by the staff Aditya and Sophie, who were very friendly and helpful.
Everything was well maintained and room was cozy and very clean. Common spaces were well maintained as well.
Had to wait for staff for more than half hour to help me with my luggage in the car.
Great location, lovely decor, staff really friendly and helpful especially Vijaya and asset to your hotel will definitely stay again 😀
The staff were lovely. Chef Idris was very professional, smiley and lovely guy. Breakfast was excellent, a lot of varieties.
Love the amazing help we received from the staff and the property not only looked nice but was also clean that’s very important to us
I regularly come to this hotel for work, but this time my experience was excellent. Ms. Puvana from the restaurant, was very hospitable and provided excellent customer service. She’s very friendly and smiley and caring. Thank you Puvana for making my stay enjoyable.
The service in this hotel was excellent, especially from the lady, Puvana. She was very helpful and very caring.
Breakfast was good. We needed vegetarian food and the chef was kind enough to prepare it for us. Hotel room was clean.
Room service very slow needs to improve. Some items we requested the staff forgot to give it to us. Overall a good experience though.
Puvana, the one who works there in restaurant is really helpful and quick in service
Morgunverður mjög góður og frábær starfsfólk og þjónusta
Herbergið og hótelið þarnast aðeins uppfærslu margt orðið soldið þreytt
Location and cleanliness
Terrible shower with hardly any water pressure. Wasn’t restricted to my room as the other 4 in our party all had same issue.
Location
Little bit expensive for drinks etc
In reception I was lucky to be looked after by Sophie. Apparently a trainee, but this lady was seriously professional; beautifully courteous and overwhelmingly helpful to this very tired and not-very-frequent traveller.
Many of the other people staying at this hotel seemed rather brusque, rude and discourteous. It baffles me why people need to be so rude to staff who are clearly trying their hearts out to be as helpful as possible.
Nice and clean
The staff and the food was amazing Cleaners were very friendly
The bad smell in the room which made us sick, it smells like dirty wet carpet was not happy or comfortable
I am a very frequent traveler in the travel industry. The business rates would attract much more stays from me .
Half the car park was blocked off for a function thus restricting parking.
Good hotel, well located and easily accessible. Staiss is really courteous and happy to help. The lounge and restaurant is also well equipped with plenty food and drink options. Rooms and gym also good. Privana at restaurant is a good host and serves with smile.
Wonderful hotel for overnight stay prior to flying. We had a family room for one night (2 adults one child). Possibly the most comfortably beds in a hotel room. Fruit platter in the room along with bottled water (stayed in far more expensive 5 star hotels which provide neither). Breakfast was excellent and set us up for a long days travel ahead. Room was extremely quiet and had everything you could need. Check-in and out staff all super friendly - as were staff at breakfast. Whilst the room may be a little dated, the friendliness of staff and little touches more than make up for that. I’ve already booked again for October (that will be our 3rd booking for pre-Gatwick flights).
Had a lovely breakfast experience at the Cube Restaurant, Crowne Plaza Gatwick, thanks to Puvana’s warm and attentive service. She was friendly, professional, and made sure we were well looked after. Her welcoming nature made a great start to our day. Thank you, Puvana, for your excellent hospitality.
Stayed for a month for work and it was great. Rooms were small but well equipped. Breakfast was great. Privana was lovely and Alyssa is an absolute star! She always greeted me by name and was friendly and chatty 😊
Location, breakfast & wonderful staff
Bed was ok but bit hard.
Great location, clean hotel exceptional staff. Bed bit hard for our liking. Shout out to Paul, breakfast chef, Sofia on reception & Alysia breakfast host.
The air conditioning unit made a lot of rattling didn’t sleep well
Breakfast was good with variety of choice.
Weak shower and small room
Very clean and comfortable. Very nice front desk, helpful, everyone was great
Resto de l’Hôtel pratique - proche du bus
Chambre archi vétuste tout est vieillot - vieille baignoire sans pommeau - Vieux robinet double - navette payante pour rejoindre l’aéroport (plus cher que le bus en face de l’hôtel)
Amazing experience. The employees were always friendly and attentive.
We stayed here sadly for one night, and the stay was awesome! We were checked in by Krish who was really professional, informative, and quick! He made us feel really welcomed! We had such an easy check in and a nice convo with him and the rest of the staff at the front desk. The day after, before heading to the airport, we stopped for breakfast. Out hostess was Alyssa and she, as well, was wonderful! She made sure that we were enjoying our time and that we received our order on time. We had a nice conversation with her as well, and she gave the whole place a really great vibe! All in all, would definitely stay here again, 10/10! Amazing people, amazing place!
Love this hotel
Food and drink expensive
Paul prvana is very nice and sweet she offered to take my plate from me she smiles she’s happy working I liked her vibe I appreciate her solid hard work
Hotel was clean and well situated for public transportation. Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was extensive and of good quality.
This hotel was amazing great service brilliant breakfast arrived late as flight was delayed but the welcome we received was second to none, the buffet was topped up continuously, perfect eggs and choice of haddock if you wanted,i don't have to say anything else but just marvelous
I had a wonderful stay at Crowne Plaza London Gatwick Airport and couldn’t be happier with my experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The hotel has a very positive atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your stay. The room was spotless, very quiet, and the bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. The food was also excellent, and I really enjoyed every meal. A special thank you to Alyssa, who greeted everyone every morning with a warm smile and a cheerful “Good morning.” She made breakfast a wonderful way to start the day and went above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stood out. The hotel’s location is also excellent. With Gatwick Airport nearby, it was very easy to travel into central London. The transport connections were fast, convenient, and made exploring the city effortless. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so enjoyable. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend Crowne Plaza London Gatwick Airport to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and high-quality hotel.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the hotel was beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised by the room. It was clean, modern and roomy. A very good experience overall.
We liked everything.
Very clean
My room at floor 5 was tiny compared to my friends on floor 3 and we paid the same. Also the bed was solid
The hotel itself has good facilities. What was disappointing, however, was the service at reception, which did not feel particularly friendly or welcoming. The hotel is redeemed by its restaurants and bars, where every member of staff was extremely kind and attentive.
Chris at the reception checkin and Paul at breakfast what amazing guys they are and a credit to Crowne Plaza.
Everything was perfect
No breakfast included in 100 pounds
My server Pvivana ( hopefully I spelled it correctly) was very nice to show me the gluten free options were
Close enough to Gatwick without being in the airport. Staff super friendly and super helpful
Na
Staff were all really welcoming. Receptionist upgrade my room and provided me two free drinks. Head chef for my breakfast also very friendly and prepared lovely food.
We had a great stay at Crowne Plaza. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent with plenty of fresh and tasty options. A special thank you to Puvana for her kindness, warm smile, and outstanding service during breakfast. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perfect attention from Abu, clean and comfortable room, delicious breakfast and very friendly people. A place I would return to 😁
Hi , I am staying here for the first time.i had a very relaxed stay so far and Ms PUVANA was very helpful serving BF
Very nice staff, good service, I want to note the very kind staff Puvana!
location and great breakfast
I had a great stay at this hotel. The breakfast was excellent, especially the peronalised omlet that was recomended to me by Marius Serban, very kind and helpfull staff member, no matter how busy it gets, he stops and listens to whatever my concern was. Thank you very much to to him and the rest of his coleagues for always beying warm and welcoming!
Very handy for Gatwick, just don't trust Sat Nav to get you there!
Open parking not that great, avoid the trees if you don't want bird droppings on your car.
That it is described as being at Gatwick airport but it's in fact a 15 minute drive away.
Every staff member from reception to restaurant to cleaning was exceptionally friendly, helpful and skillful. I can only recommend this place from the bottom of my heart and I look forward to coming back. I will miss my breakfasts ☺️
We had a really good time spending almost 7 Weeks (for Airline Job Training) in the Crown plaza Crawley! The best part of the day was the breakfast. Service Professionals Kavi and Victoria helped us out with everything we needed! Club Rooms have been really nice, super serviced, super clean. Thanks for everything and hope to stay in the Crown Plaza Crawley soon again!😊
Excellent stay. The staffs were incredibly welcoming. The room was large and spotless and the breakfast and dinner exceeded expectations. Kavi was very pleasant and helpful. We were well lookafter. I'll definitely be back.
STAFF VERY HELPFUL
DISTANCE FROM AIRPORT. WEB SITE GIVES IMPRESSION OF BEING on AIRPORT. sHUTTLE SHOULD BE PROVIDED FREE
Himani greeted us at reception & gave us one of the best check in experiences ever. We mentioned we were travelling to celebrate a special birthday & she gave us complimentary drinks & points. The room was newly refurbished, quiet & comfortable with great pillows & a fantastic shower, good quality toiletries. Would highly recommend this hotel for a stop over on your travels.
Thanks for the service. Very polite and professional. Everything is great.
Always have a good experience when staying over and Himani just amazing with the customers always so caring and attentive and every customer she attends to is with a smile and extra miles. A sweet lady with excellent customer service. Thanks to the Team too.
Typical airport hotel. Restaurants and supermarket in the vicinity (walking distance). Glutenfree option available for breakfast.
Very rube not friendly
Nothing
Staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive they all ways greeted you with a smile
Aditya from reception is a wonderful human being. He knows how to treat guests with the utmost humility and respect. I arrived late on Sunday, and he was quick to help. He enquired about my well-being, offered food, and, considering my long flight, was kind enough to upgrade my room to a club room. It was a quiet, peaceful room with all amenities. What can you ask for when you go to a different country and get treated like home by a wonderful person like Aditya? God bless this true soul for making me feel at home. There's another person who is magical with her smile - Vijaya from the restaurant. She was quick, kind, and enquired about my dietary preferences before providing me with options. She made me feel like someone was there to take care of me. I was wondering how she manages her duty with a continuous smile that brightens anyone's day during breakfast. If someone asks me about a beautiful memory from this trip, I would say meeting these two beautiful souls who made me feel at home. They took great care of me while I was away from home and busy with meetings all day. And here they were, treating me the best.
A ‘tired’ Crowne plaza. Facilities are getting old in the rooms (I believe some though have been renovated). But the older rooms are getting quite tired - frayed at the edges and old bath tubs rather than proper showers in bathroom too. I was however glad for the fantastic air conditioning in the rooms during the recent heatwave. What the hotel lacks in modernised rooms it more than makes up for it with fantastic friendly staff. Whether at checkout, breakfast or in restaurant/bar everyone is keen to be helpful. Breakfast has a mixture of hot breakfast items (sausages, eggs, hash browns, beans, mushrooms etc) bakery and cereals. Hot beverages machine available. Gets very busy especially with the amount of airline crews that stay there. Restaurant:bar has a staple dinner menu and variety of drinks. Close to Gatwick - use hotel shuttle bus or 10 mins on a local bus…
Bandna in Breakfast lounge is amazingly helpful, very polite and courteous
I met Viktoria at the restaurant of the hotel Crown Plaza Crawley. Very good person, gentile and High professionali.
All the personnel were very professional and gentle, particularly Miss Viktoria, the waitress at the breakfast, and all the other staff at the reception
Great breakfast experience and a comfortable stay at the Crowne Plaza Crawley. The service was excellent, and special thanks to Kavi and Mahesh at the breakfast for their attentive and friendly hospitality. They made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Overall, a very pleasant visit with good food and great service.
I got upgraded to a Club Room, and it was very nice and spacious. The breakfast buffet had a good selection.
