The Old Crown Coaching Inn  

Room was very clean and comfortable and the shower was excellent Quirky old hotel with good value pub grub and breakfast though a litttle slow (Fire Alarm) was well worth the wait would definately stay again

The size of the room, friendliness its location

A bit noisy outside between 11 pm and midnight.

The staff. They were very friendly and it was obvious that the new tenants are trying their best to make a good place for living out of these premises. And those 2 swans made of towels left in our apartment by the cleaning lady. They really made us laugh! Especially that the next day there were 2 swans there again and 2 small ones in addition :)

It was a lovely old hotel, the staff were very friendly and helpful....the 4 poster bedroom was lovely and it was the best nights sleep I have had in a while, We will definately be going back to stay.

Our room was very nicely decorated and the staff were very polite. The breakfast was only ok but not terrible.

The Inn is next to a bar/club (which I appreciate is not the owners problem) so we did not sleep very well at all. The room next door appeared to have a 'lady of the night' working in their which also kept us up. There were a number of different occasions and people came and went to the room for a few hours.

On arrival only bar man to book in,bluebottles hallway and 2 in room.got rid of them,however during our stay other bluebottles in room.the in choice of food was very poor,very little selection and not very appetising.ate evening meal in pub opposite,excellent.morning breakfast fine.hotel in transition and would probably be ok one day,but not ready yet.price cheap.

The room was of a reasonable standard and clean.

The hotel facilities were not as described in your ad on the net. The restaurant was closed for refurbishment. Breakfast had to be taken on Sunday in a cold, drafty, grubby bar area. Our bedroom was not serviced at all and we returned to an unmade bed, and no tea facilities. The Woman in 'charge' was offhand and not at all helpful.

The character of this hotel is superb and has great potential for the right management team. For short stays in the center of town this hotel represents good value Bed and Breakfast accommodation. The rooms are well decorated, warm, clean and full of character.

While we were there a new management team had only just taken over (4 days) and they were only just carrying out a deep clean, so it would not be fair to make any criticisms. This Hotel has suffered with a string of different managers but I feel confident in the new couple who will soon start to put their own stamp on the place. They seem to have the experience and enthusiasm that this lovely old Coaching Inn deserves. But if you want a modern hotel where the floors are flat and don't creak and you don't have beams on the ceilings then there are other choices for double the money.

Rooms were beautiful. Staff were very friendly. Had a great stay.

Location/potential/

It is a lovely old building, but currently undergoing renovation which gives the place a rather scruffy feel. Present Manager/Manageress and staff seem under trained and not informed about how the owners wish to run the operation. Nice people but seem to be on a 'holding' operation when we visited. Could be so much better.

Good location in Faringdon Market Square. Old building with lots of heritage. Impressive power shower. The 'superior suite' which I visited to use the hairdryer (long story) looked lovely

No hotel reception, just the bar of a fairly dowmmarket pub. Public areas desperately in need of upgrading. Breakfast disappointing - no fruit, had to ask for teabags. Worse on Day 2 when no staff turned up to open up for breakfast till after 9am. Staff pleasant but hopelessly unprofessional, and on both days the person cooking and serving breakfast wore incredibly dirty clothes. New broom needed in all senses!

The shower

Too much to mention

liked the size of the room & the room itself

the hotel could do with a good all over clean & staff could do with smart tidy uniforms are needed. it was very very noisy even up til 1pm ,& when u pay for such a lovely relaxing room u should be able to shut the door & relax,. we had to turn up the volume on the TV just to hear it, because u could not hear yourself think with such load music the TV was on volume 19. we defo wont be staying there again .
