Guest Reviews
- Annette (10/5): -
- Lorraine (10/5): Staff were really friendly. Would definitely stay a the crown again. - Fantastic location, clean and parking space provided. Restaurant food was excellent. The bed and pillows were too firm giving me a bad back.
- Tammy (10/5): Staff were extremely helpful and room, restaurant etc was clean and friendly - Friendly and homely Bathroom could be updated
- Claire (9/5): Excellent stay, brilliant location, exceeded expectations - Very atmospheric , beautifully furnished, very comfortable . Very friendly and polite staff . Delicious breakfast and we also dined there one night and enjoyed our meal . Nothing
- Karen (10/5): -
- Julian (9/5): A lovely place to spend a few days - Lovely old world charm with some modern improvements tastefully done, as you would expect for an Adnams inn. The food quality was good although in keeping with many other restaurants these days, the menu options are somewhat limited The only issue was having to have a cold shower early on the morning of departure. Given the price paid, you would expect all creature comforts to be in full working order…
- Helen (8/5): Wonderful stay - Beautiful decor, great facilities, delicious food.
- Sarah (1/5): Very poor. - The room and the location. Too few staff and those serving were not very friendly or interested. Breakfast was exceptionally poor. Not enough of anything available for continental breakfast. Basic really and will certainly not recommend to anyone. Management not around and overall very poor experience.
- John (9/5): -
- Ian (10/5): -
- Joanne (9/5): Excellent location, free parking, comfortable, clean with lovely little touches. Would definitely stay again. - Location very good. Staff lovely. Nice atmosphere. Lovely charm. Lovely breakfast and great food. Loved the 2 bottles of beer in the room touch and the coffee bags were great and all the teas and hot chocolate. Lovely toiletries and robes. Didn’t like that there was sometimes no toilet roll in the public toilet.

- Ruth (10/5): Just what we wanted for overnight stay - Very central, clean and comfortable. Good breakfast and we also had an evening meal.
- Farrell (8/5): Very comfortable accommodation and excellent staff. - The room was large and accommodated all 3 of us, the main bed was massive and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the choice was good. Staff throughout were extremely friendly and I had several lovely chats during my visit. The only small thing for me would be the bar, it is small and not overly comfortable, plus there was an old, local (I think) man who said "f*ck* every other word! I don't mind but had my child been in the bar area, it would have been a little much!

- christine (10/5): Helpful. Polite and hard working staff. - The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and also very professional. The lady in the office was very accommodating, chatty and friendly. We did struggle with the number of stairs up to room 10. In hindsight we should have asked if there was a lift or requested a room on a lower floor. On our next visit we will do this.

- Carol (9/5): Great hotel in a great location - It was very comfortable and in a great location.

- Magdi (7/5): Nice hotel location in downtown. - Clean hotel, helpful and professional staff Non refundable reservation costs. Having to deal with both Booking.com and the hotel to solve some issues. Guest rooms equipped with older separate hot and cold water taps. Tight clothes hanging wardrobes. Expensive rates.

- janis (8/5): -
- Mandy (9/5): - Great location friendly staff free carparking Restaurant food was a bit hit and miss .. breakfast however was excellent

- Richard (10/5): -
- Andy (8/5): -
- Isobel (10/5): - Great location for beach and shops
- Brenda (9/5): Relaxing and comfortable. - Comfortable,friendly and well situated with helpful and friendly staff. Parking at the hotel was problematic but there were other accessible places to park nearby
- Jenkins (10/5): -
- Christopher (8/5): - Location, staff, food, great shower. Very clean and well appointed. Our room was very warm and the bed a little small.
- William (10/5): -
- Philip (9/5): Lovely location, great hotel. - Fantastic location. Breakfast was very good, and gluten free option was okay although gf cereals were only mentioned as an option on the second morning. The building is old and therefore quite creaky, which we expected however it was really bad at the side of the bed, and the heating pipes clicked all the time the heating was on.
- David (10/5): we stayed to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and had a lovely experience - breakfast was excellent the room was lovely dinner was exceptional the night porter and her attitude
- Rory (10/5): -
- Ian (10/5): -
- Alan (8/5): Generally fine. - Friendly staff. Good location. Blind in bedroom badly fitted.
- David (9/5): -
- Chris (9/5): An enjoyable stay in a good location - Location. Friendly staff. Clean Room over kitchen. Noisy fan and banging until late
- Michael (9/5): - Every member of staff was wonderful room 7 is a bit small, i prefer the other rooms
- stephen (10/5): Very pleasant - Lovely characterful hotel in the centre of the town. Charming period style room. Food was good quality for breakfast and evening meals. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. A little too much emphasis on tofu on the veggie menu choices, but options were offered on request.
- Staffan (10/5): -
- Alice (7/5): Great location, lovely hotel - Great staff, lovely bar room for an after dinner drink & a really tasty breakfast. The location is wonderful- right in the heart of Southwold. Free parking behind the hotel Our room had a very thin blind so as the sun came up, we were woken at 6am! For a hotel that clearly prides itself on high standards, this needs improving. Instead of providing guests with single use eye masks, just provide a blackout blind/ curtain. A good night's sleep is the most important thing! Also our room was on a thorough-fare within the hotel and with thin walls we were also disturbed by people coming & going.
