The Crown Inn  

the welcoming staff and the cleanliness.and the breakfast all excellent

nothing

Cheerful atmosphere, helpful bar staff.

The fact that I was not able to have breakfast on the Saturday morning because I had to leave by 8.30am and the offer of a packed breakfast was not satisfactory as I was driving to take an examination. Even though I suggested that there should be some recompense nothing was offered.

Clean room

The price it is a nice b &B it is not a hotel. I did not like checking in at the bar. As a solo female traveller that can be unsettling. The room was quoted at £100 per night. They attempted to charge me£110 per night. The room was only worth £70 at the very most. The bed was uncomfortable and pillows rock hard. The waiter working breakfast was unattentive and my order needed to be repeated several times, I noticed nobody was asked would they like toast. The "buffet" fruit selection consisted of one sliced pineapple and a few apples. The juice selection was poor. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs both mornings. The eggs were watery and peppered with fish bones it was tasteless. The evening menu on paper looks good. On my first evening I ate bar food it was a little greasy. The second evening I ate from the specials menu. The scallop and chorizo starter was a waste of perfectly good seafood, the guacamole purée tasted like wall paper paste and the chorizo overpower the scallops. My main course of wild mushroom and ricotta roulade tasted like a value Swiss roll. It had a gelatinous texture and zero flavour. Dessert was bread and butter pudding it was hard around the edges not crispy but hard like it had too long in a micro wave and the custard was powdery and ala packet. The wine was nice and service in both evenings excellent they might get the evening staff to train the morning staff. I won't be back.

All of it

The location on the common and closeness to countryside and London. Our third visit over the past 2 years. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Nothing

We didn't arrive until 9.30pm so only meal taken was breakfast which was freshly cooked and delicious.

Room size was ok (twin beds) but noisy plumbing also radiator setting was either red hot or off!

location

Cleanliness. Not comfortable. Lack of maintenance. Noisy

Only one very small complaint is that the bed was a little broken as it was leaning to one side.

Our 2nd stay here. We enjoy being close to Chislehurst Common and shops, with a lovely view over the common. Welcoming hosts and friendly staff. Good food, excellent breakfast, and everything provided in the bathroom which is great.

Pleasant setting.

Nothing

Very comfortable room overlooking the common.

the staff were really friendly. Quick and easy check in and check out. the room was beautifully designed and the bathroom was lovely. the pub downstairs was good value for money. good location and near the high streets

The bed we were in was extremely uncomfortable. On one side, the bed had a big dip and I didn't sleep well because of it. The pillows were too low and there was only one pillow per person. The carpet looked really dull and musky and dirty. Dropped something down the side of the bed and as I reached down to pick it up, my hand went through a huge spider web. Wasn't a pleasant experience!

Good location,friendly helpful staff,good restaurant with excellent choice and good value for money.

stairs to rooms,parking.

We stayed on a Sunday night and The Crown Inn does not do evening meals on a Sunday. The staff provided information on a range of eating opportunities within the locality. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Although this is obviously a pub as well, the bar area is also family friendly in the afternoons.

easy to get too and a nice view from the room onto the common.

a man talking the whole time on his mobile phone whilst we were eating breakfast!!!! maybe a no mobile phone rule should be put up in the breakfast eating area as so rude!!!!!

Food and the room.

Staff were nice enough

Poor value for money broken toilet, does not flush easily broken shower tap, fell off when I first used it, does not work properly dirty over sheets on the bed sheets, stains and long and short hair on inside of sheets noisy water pipes at night rooms not totally sound proof,ie. You can hear people walking and talking in the hallway.

Very friendly staff and good home made food.

Hard pillows.

Very freindly staff. Room well appointed and comfortable. Good value for money. I can think of nothing at all to be negative about

Very good staff, clean, modern with traditional charm.

Very friendly staff, comfortable rooms.

Although not the hotel's fault, the building opposite was playing very loud music until 3am. Hotel had no night service to complain to so left very left alone (emergency numbers were out of date)

Very clean and warm.Very friendly staff.and the food and service was excellent.

Evening staff were particularly friendly and helpful. Bathroom in room 1 was really nice.

treated like royalty from the time we entered and booked in nothing was too much trouble. the room was fabulous spotlessly clean we couldnt fault it and we will be staying again. the breakfast was fab as was the saturday nights dinner which we had before we went out we loved every minute of being there and didnt want to leave.

Staff were attentive and friendly Hotel was clean and rooms maintained immaculately

Meals were of the bar-meal type predominately
