Crowne Plaza

Do not leave your car here if you plan to travel abroad, the local crime statistics have risen dramatically here just because of the number of car break ins that occur in the hotel car park. The police are constantly talking to the management about increased security but as yet (July 2011) there does not appear to be a decline. The latest statistics show an increase in the area of theft from vehicle has risen by over 300% and I’m not talking about 1 or 2 cars either we are talking double figures. They may have caught 1 scrote, but there’s always another one ready to take over!

The newly refurbished Crowne Plaza London Heathrow Hotel is conveniently located for all Heathrow airport terminals including the new Terminal 5. In addition M4 & M40 are only minutes away.
Crowne Plaza London Heathrow Hotel is an ideal base to explore Central London, Legoland Windsor, Ascot Racecourse, Wembley and Twickenham.
This is a lovely hotel which boasts very clean, immaculate rooms. Most of the bedrooms have 2 double beds in each room and the choice is yours which one to sleep in. I find the Crowne Plaza very homely and the dining menu for the rooms is lovely if you want to rest after a busy day.
There is a small bar area which is usually packed by 7pm but the atmosphere is very nice and intimate and the drinks are all served in lovely glasses and you feel like you are in a good quality wine bar.
I would recommend this hotel as a very good ¾ star. The food/​breakfast is fantastic with plenty of choice for help yourself or a full cooked menu. This hotel makes for a very enjoyable stay. It really is only 5 mins drive from Heathrow airport and there is a shuttle bus running back and forth which costs around £2 each way.
I would certainly book this hotel if I wanted to start my holiday in comfort prior to my flight from Heathrow.
