Awesome family time.
We had an amazing family time at Crowne Plaza. Perfect location and accessible to public transport just in front of the hotel. Kids had fun in the pool. The room was clean and had the perfect view on the river and the crown flames at night. Lots of restaurants around and in the building whcih even offer room services. We will definitely come back.

Clean and comfortable
Very nice hotel, friendly staff, close to everything we wanted to see. Extremely clean rooms and gym facilities. Good amount of gym equipment and machines. Pool was ok, not heated but very refreshing and a very small number of lounge chairs.

Prime city location
A nice hotel in a really good location. I arrived in a car and left it in the car park for the for the duration of my stay. You only pay $17 for each exit and it is only about a 2-3 minute walk to reception.

Blame hotels.com
Why does Hotels.com keep giving me special care rooms? The room was not great but it’s because of hotels.com not Crowne.

Wonderful stay in the city!
It was nice and close to the office, really comfortable and I had a great view of the Yarra. Loved the huge windows that let the sun in. Absolutely gorgeous. I had a night flight home and was able to store my bags with the concierge, return to get them and then head to the airport. I really appreciated the convenience of being able to go for a walk around the city without having to lug my bags around. The staff were all really lovely, professional and helpful. My bed was super comfortable and I loved the layout of the room. Everything was in the best place. Also, the aircon was really easy to program. Sometimes it can be a bit tricky, but this was really easy to deal with (even half asleep).

The King room I booked would have to be the smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in. It was cluttered with a round glass table in a corner that was near impossible to sit at as the bed was right behind it. There was a chair which you could sit at on the wall bench, so the table is unnecessary.
There were renovations going on next to our room so a very strong smell off paint.
I didn't book a river outlook room, so didn't expect anything spectacular, however our view was a white wall a few meters away, so very average.
The Hotel location is great however with the trams out the front. The lift to go to the main entrance was dirty also.
