Crown Hotel

Well situated, nice hotel in a good location for either shopping or attending the exhibition centre and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

This hotel is exceptional and gets full marks for location staff and cleanliness.

Very confortable in an excellent location, very nice hotel and the staff exceptionaly friendly and attentive.

The location is very good for the town centre and the hotel itself is very impressive from the outside.

From the outside the hotel looks lovely but as soon as you set foot inside the lobby it's tatty interior is apparent.

It was so small it should have been a single, the double bed was shoved against the wall with hardly any other space in the room.

Although we would agree that the place needs a face lift, we had a double room that was large and airy, comfy bed, clean linen and very good food.

The rooms were spacious, clean and had a comfy bed.

The carpet did not meet the wall, the bed was springy and the room smelt musty.

Carpet didn't meet the edges of the room properly (gripper rod showing), headboard of bed was horrible and sticky, so much so that my short hair stuck to it.

The best thing about the Crown hotel is that breakfast is very good and the bar/restaurant (The Place) is also excellent.

The restaurant menu was varied and interesting and the food superb - the same was true of breakfast too.

The food and the ambiance at the Place bar / restaurant was excellent, and the renovated bedrooms, lobby and function rooms all showed a gentle elegance.

Furthermore staff are friendly and helpful, rooms clean & a reasonable size, the bar/restaurant is also excellent.

The staff are very helpful and the breakfast now the dining room is complete is faultless.

Porter and restaurant staff were friendly and helpful; the receptionist not very informative or obliging and the manager unavalable at all times.

were large and spacious, the hotel staff were excellent as was the location, the service was good.

The staff were friendly and the receptionist was very helpful.

Excellent location, good choice & good quality food and reception staff were extremely helpful.

Parking was an issue to the front of the hotel with limited space however other car parking facilities are located nearby.

Car parking on-site is limited, but there is plenty of on-street parking in the area.

Yes,car parking is limited both at and near the hotel.

The bedrooms have a clean, fresh, updated look and feel; the restaurant has been totally updated and is one of the key features of the hotel; and the once-famous ballroom - mothballed in recent years - is now back up and running.

Yes, the hotel is old, and the floorboards in the bedroom squeak, but the staff were friendly and the hotel was warm and clean.

Moreover the room was clean and food was fine.

Staff are competent and the room was larger than is normal & was well presented & spotless.

The staff were helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable.
