The staff were amazing and the Galway girl could not do enough for me. She was the best ever!

Nothing!

A private shower in the penthouse suite with large double bed a quality firm mattress, clean bed linen, clean white towels, soap & copious supplies of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, spring water & biscuits were all essential for my short stay to attend a memorial! A perfect location! Warm friendly Serena & team all delivered! A landmark duo of pubs full of character & tradition! I will definitely return for the beer & Craic next time .. Thank you ..

An armchair would be nice .. the occasional seismic shock from a passing train or an effervescent guest was slightly disconcerting at first .. I had no probs with the stairs others may need mountain climbing gear to reach the summit ..

Loved the size of the room, the balcony, the location, the staff (fab service) and it was amazing value for money! Very little negative to speak of to be honest.

It was a SLIGHTLY confusing setup to get into/out of the property and I was worried I'd forget the instructions. Also my shower plug was a tiny bit blocked though I didn't raise this as I was only there for a night - I am sure it would have been dealt with had I done so. Finally, I was accosted a bit by a hilarious drunk bloke in the pub on entering the property though it is a pub and while it was slightly awkward it was also very funny BUT perhaps another less confident guest might struggle with this.

The place is amazing, super homey. The staff is just incredible as well, they are so kind, fun and welcoming ! An amazing stay, it was a last minute booking we were super happy about it. The place is super clean, we had coffe, tea, biscuits and glass bottles of water to welcome us. We couldn't hear the noise of the pub but knowing it was there was great. It felt like a very nostalgic experience. We will be back for sure ! A little gem of the kind that's really hard to find.

The equipements might need a little review but honestly, it just depends what you're looking for. If you're looking for a very copied-paste place like chain hotels to be sure what you get, maybe it's not for you. But if you're looking for a very special unique place with real humans, that's the one for you!

This place is a hidden gem. An old London pub, as soon as we walked in it was like we were in our own local. The staff looked after us straight away. Gave us our room 2 hours early as we had to be somewhere at 12. We got back on the night after a day out and the place was full. Live music on, brilliant atmosphere very friendly. What topped it off was the day after when we left if stupidly left my jumper and shorts in the room. Living up north there was no chance going back for them so I rang them up and the lady who answered couldn’t have been more helpful. She said she’d post them to my address and the next day they were here. I offered to pay postage but she wouldn’t accept it. Said it was on the house. Unbelievable service from start to finish. 100% will stay here again when we’re back in London. Thanks again for a great night 👍🏻

The pub & guesthouse is centrally located, and from the moment we walked in the staff made us feel very welcome. Our room was lovely, clean, big and the bed very comfortable. Our bathroom was huge, with the perfect bath and shower. We went to an event at the church Hackney, the crown is literally 2 mins walk away. We went back to the pub after the event for drinks, they had a dj on and everyone was so friendly. The pub is on the corner of a road but you could hear no road noise inside the bedroom. When we visit Hackney again, we will be definitely booking into the The Crown pub guesthouse again. Highly recommend

Nothing it was all perfect

We stayed at The Crown for 2 nights in July whilst we were in London for a short break. The Crown was absolutely perfect for us. From the friendly, warm greeting from Natalie on the day we arrived to the day we departed we couldn’t find fault with anything. We enjoyed atmosphere of a pub that obviously enjoys a good ‘local’ trade while managing to provide a good service for its’ guests. The rooms are clean and comfortable with everything you need provided or available on request. The added bonus of a fan was a real plus as the nights were still warm. We were warned about noise from the bar but it didn’t actually disturb us at all and the traffic noise is at a level you would expect in a busy area of London. We thoroughly enjoyed the diversity of the area. Hackney has undergone a resurgence since the days when I was a student nurse here but it has still retained its East End charm and character. There are a couple of excellent cafes close by and if we had had more time we would have happily explored further. Narrow Kitchen and Paelette are both deservedly well reviewed, especially for breakfast/brunch. Transport to central London is fast and easy, even late at night, via tube and overground rail. The Crown is very good value for money and we will definitely stay again when we return to London.

There wasn’t anything not to like!

The location was great only a short walk from the tube station. Also ideally placed with local shops and a park. The room was nicely decorated and the terrace was so lovely to sit out on in the sun whilst enjoying a drink, the flowers on the terrace were very beautiful. The lady that checked us in was very welcoming and explained how to get in after hours etc very well. Very happy that there were toiletries provided in the room as we were only staying for one night so didn’t want to have to bring everything with us. The room felt very secure with all of the locked doors to access.

It would be nice if there was a separate check in area so you aren’t being watched by everyone in the pub. One of the towels in our room had a dirt mark/stain so I had to use a hand towel for a shower instead. The shower drain must also be blocked so you can only have a short shower without it overflowing. There was a very strong cigarette smell coming home and in the morning as there was a window open above the beer garden in the pub. Overall I wouldn’t say any of these things ruined our stay and I would absolutely book to stay here again.

Friendly welcome by the staff in the pub. Room was very clean with nicely made up bed and towels. The decor was smart. The bed was extremely comfortable. Despite being on a main road in Hackney, above a pub, the room was quiet and we slept very well. Disappointed that we didn’t get the clawfooted bathtub that’s in the promotional pictures on this site, nor the little rooftop terrace. Never believe the advertising!

The shower was extremely temperamental and water flow would just stop completely. Pressure was low even when working making the shower experience quite frustrating. Better tea and coffee facilities would be nice please.

What a fabulous welcome from Ben on Friday evening. We felt like one of the locals in a packed pub on a Friday aft. Such a home from home, would definitely be my local if I lived nearby. It was hard to leave the next morning as we were chatting away with the lovely lady (didn't get name, eats lots of prawns) and a few of the friendly locals. What a fantastic local boozer and a great place to lay your head for a night or two. Thanks very much all concerned.

Nothing, it was great.
