Crowne Plaza is located on the banks of the Yarra River and close to the Exhibition Center and Crown Casino. I was really impressed with the hotel because of this location and the awesome views from the hotel room window. On top of it, their services were extremely good. what more do you expect from a hotel. Infact I extended... more

Bland concrete business hotel, located within the CBD. Stayed for 5nights with family. Room was clean, and had everything you needed. The room overlooked the Yarra, from where could also see the trams which pleased my son. Clean & tidy, and just over the road/river from the casino. Trams from outside can take you more into the city or down... more

My husband and I stayed at Crowne Plaza in December 2009 for a night away. Managed to get a good package $200 for Riverview room, valet parking, breakfast in the dining room and bubbly on arrival. The room is not huge but it was clean and bathroom had the necessary things included. Nice LCD t.v. lovely big window looking out... more

Have just returned from three night stay. The positives of this hotel include: excellent location to Melbourne Exhibition & Convention Centre; reasonable room rates, comfortable bed. I was lucky to get upgraded to room with river view. I saw the inside of a city view standard room and it looked very small and poky compared to my room. Hence recommend... more

I was staying with my boyfriend for a few nights. The location was good, near the city centre, the hotel is clean but we expected something for a 4 star! more

We stayed here for the Aussie Open tennis finals in Jan 2008, which bumped up the room prices quite a bit. We booked a corner room, which was very nice and spacious, clean, comfortable and with great views over the City. Used the pool / gym, which was also very nice and well equipped. All in all, very pleasant, would... more

continued my stay at the Crown after one night at the HI on Flinders. It was a bit quieter for over a week, but then the room I was in was overtaken by noise from the bathroom above. The toilets at this hotel do not stop running unless the button is pressed a couple of times (sort of like when... more

A most disappointing experience, booked for four nights and checked out after one! The hotel has been refurbished for single business people. For example only one lounge chair in the room but has a computer desk and office chair!. No draw storage for clothes. Room was very small and despite paying for river view (at a significant premium) you just... more

We've just come back from a two night stay (Fri, Sat) at the Crowne Plaza a have mixed opinions about the hotel. Positive: We got a great deal through a secret hotel deal, location is great (just across from the Crown Casino, Southbank and 10min walk from Federation Square) and it's got great views of the river and Southbank. Negative:... more
