Good Points: The decor and room sizes are impeccable. I was very impressed and will be coming back.
Further Comments: It would be use full to put some directions on the link as it is a little difficult to find even for someone that knows Chislehurst well.

Good Points: The room standard was very good.
Bad Points: Food service stopped at 9pm and no option of room service. I checked-in approx. 20:55. I asked if I could get a meal they said no.
Further Comments: Generally, this was a good standard of room in the wrong place (ie. above a busy pub playing fairly loud music). The staff were good - at running a pub but appeared amateur as Hotel staff. I wouldn't have minded but the Room tariff was ﾣ95. The staff were pleasant enough and only offered (reluctantly) to make me a sandwich when I'd asked again. I opted for a Chinese take-out which the staff kindly allowed me to eat in the Bar. One particular lady was very charming and offered me a plate etc. If only they had been more accommodating in the first instance. At breakfast (a full English which suspiciously arrived 1 minute after I ordered it) I was met with a foreign lady vacuuming. All in all, I would spend my ﾣ100 at the 'Holiday Inn' down the road on my next visit to that area or save ﾣ50 and stayed in a Travel Inn.

Good Points: The accommodation appeared to have been recently refurbished. It was a very comfortable stay. The bedding and linen were good quality and freshly laundered. A lot of effort has been put into the overall comfort of the hotel. The bar istelf was clean, friendly and welcoming.
Bad Points: The noise of bottles and crates being discarded after the bar had closed disturbed our sleep. Also, the airconditioning in the bathroom takes a long time to shut off - small things, really. Not enough to spoil the overall experience.
Further Comments: The Crown Inn is situated in a very pretty part of Chislehurst. Much effort has been made to welcome guests both to the hotel and to the restaurant and bar. It has been updated without losing any charm at all. Staff are very courteous and helpful. Breakfast looked as though it coould have been good, but we only had toast and cereal (through choice as we were in a hurry). The bedrooms are spacious enough and well equipped, with modern furnishing. Bathroom was good, (nice shower) but could have been finished off to a higher standard to match the bedrooms and public areas. The wooden surface in the bathroom was beginning to show water stains, which was a shame. Overall this is good value for money.

Good Points: Very clean and spacious room, and a clean and well presented hotel
Bad Points: It could provide an actual checkin desk or appropriate sign on entry, and dvd video options in the room.
Further Comments: the hotel (pub) was very nice and a good level of accomodation was available, the food was very good but on entry to the accomodation their were no clear signes for reception and I had to wander arround with my case untill somebody pointed me in the right direction to the corner of the bar were the reception book was located. A very good Pub hotel but just needs a few tweeks to make it perfect. BUT I would stay their again.

Good Points: It was adjacent to a function we were attending in Chiselhurst and therefore convenient access.
Bad Points: Decoration to room Cleansiness of toilet and bath tea making facilities incomplete seperate and more discreet checking in process would have been appropriate
Further Comments: My general review refers mainly to the comments above however the process of cleaning the public house, sweeping floors, clearing up cigarette ends in close proximity to the eating area was totally unacceptable for non smokers and others at the breakfast table.I should have been informed of this process at time of booking.I should also have been informed that the main bedroom wall had suffered water ingress thus leaving damaged wall paper and decorations in an unacceptable condition.

Good Points: The balcony room was fabulous with enormous comfortable bed and deep bath on legs.
Further Comments: This hotel is in a lovely quiet location overlooking open land. It is a pub and if you like very early nights may have trouble with the music downstairs. We didn't think it a problem and it was switched off around 11pm. Room was lovely chic but with character. Raised bath on a platform and 2 sinks. Also lovely cooked breakfast. Would definitely go back.
