Opal Bank

Something went wrong with my onboarding as I didn't get a guest registration email prior to my arrival and the details I did receive only got me access to the building and not to my room! Unfortunately for me, the owner was at the theatre and so missed my phone calls to try and resolve the issue. I eventually got in to my room after about an hour. The owner was very apologetic though and he also allowed me to stay an hour later than the usual 10am checkout time. The room itself is basic but I must admit the bed was very comfy and I got a great night's sleep which was the point of my stay before my next train. It's in a great location near the Crewe Market food hall which had a live singer. Downstairs is a lively Polish restaurant and you may have to ask some of the patrons gathered outside for a cigarette to move aside as you climb the step into the property. There a small kitchen for making tea and coffee (but no cups or cutlery is provided). I like an adventure, but maybe not so much when I'm tired. Ultimately, this was an alright stay where I slept very well and the owner got in touch as soon as he could so couldn't have asked for more on that front.

Ticks all the boxes. Instructions were clear and how to get in, no problems there. Place was quiet, clean and bed was comfy. Radiator in room didn’t work but heater provided (in room when I arrived). Comms with owner good.
