Not the best experience
My room was clean and comfortable but terrifically hot. There was no air conditioning or even a fan when the temperature was 32°C
The hotel itself smelt of mildew as you walked in.

Stone town.
A sole cyclist, good check in. Secure parking for my bike. An upgrade on a room. Good facilities, lots of hot water. Clean fluffy towels, comfortable bed. Smart TV, tea coffee, bathroom soap etc. quiet night. Full breakfast, juice, coffee toast, croissant, jam butter and a fried English. Very good.
Would return, the building is old, a bit run down, but lots of character.

Our stay.
The room was fine. Money has obviously been spent on updating the hotel, maybe a bit more needs to be spent to improve things. For example, the bathroom had been upgraded, new bath, hand basin, shower; but the tiling and grouting had not been finished. Also the bath was very slippery so maybe provide a bath mat. Also, we were only provided with two bath towels, no hand towels or bath mat. As we only stayed one night, it wasn’t a problem but for longer stays, the additional towels would have been needed. That said, it’s always a pleasure to stay in such an historic building.

A unique hotel with historic features in the lovely canal town of Stone. Hotel central to activities and sights in town. Has a great Indian restaurant on ground floor and other good restaurants close by. No elevator but staff helpful with luggage. I would stay here again.

Comedy of errors, the room we were allocated had not been cleaned so were then given another room, when we tried to unlock the door with a key card it wouldn’t work, so back down to reception, the batteries needed changing. Eventually got the room sorted, so decided to make a drink and this being a deluxe room we thought maybe a biscuit ,at least expected a teaspoon, nevermind. Put the tv on and it was a waste of space kept loosing signal , so sadly I wouldn’t give this more than an average rating.

The room number was missing on the door so we spent ages looking for where we needed to be. The shower took forever to get warm the shower tap was broken and kept falling off. There was no plug hole and the inside of the hole was filthy. The toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall and the roll fell off every time you needed it. The bed was uncomfortable and every time you moved it was unnecessarily loud. People smoking right outside the door so all you could smell was smoke the entrance had a cracked window and down the hall way the far end window had been smashed.

ok for a quick stop over
on check in they took £20 pre-authorisation off my credit card, everywhere else i stay no money is taken, await to see if it is refunded,
Car park authorisation is in place which was an issue for some in previous reviews.
Food in restaurant was good.
Room was tidy, shower was pretty useless.

Would never stay again.
Lights and hair dryer didnt work. Reported to staff, wss told they would look into it and they never did. Bed was uncomfortable, the sofa bed was comfier. The shower tray was dirty, hair in the bath. If you have a young child and use a pram avoid as there is no lift to get upstairs.

Avoid this poirly managed sh@thole!
You had to provide your own login details for the TV (Netflix, ITVX etc) if you wanted to watch. There was no Internet connectivity to access the TV or social media, email etc. A £20.00 damage depisit was taken & will not be returned until after 5-10 working days & im actually surprised if they will be able to distinguish if i or previous guests have caused any damage. The decorations & bed were brand new - in the 1970s. No hot water for a shower. Needi continue?

It was a fairly rainy ,cold day and we put the heating on in the room to warm it up. We went out to my mothers 80th birthday (so not a late one and when we came back the heating was none existent we shivered under the bed linen and froze? we could not take a shower in the morning as it was so cold. A shame really as we had seen some bad reviews on cleanliness but htis was not our problem.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing
Unfortunately we booked a Deluxe Double Room with City View…
Deluxe?
Room was in a chalet place in car park, thin walls and no hot water… even after running tap for over 10 minutes… receptionist said it takes a long time for boiler to work…?
City View.. was a brick wall outside window.
Beware… make sure you check all details prior to booking before confirmation and payment.
Appeared to be no interest in resolving any of the issues?

The crown
Arrived check in fine but asked for £20 deposit on my credit card in case of damage was not happy with this
One guest who had checked in was complaining about substandard showers
View from bedroom was a brick wall with a alley which was not secured so not happy to leave the window open because I was on the ground floor
Could not get television working
The room was clean but I booked a executive deluxe room which by the photos was in the main hotel
But I was put in the annex in a delux room
The main hotel looks like it is being refurbished with a lot of building materials about
Would not stay again
