PubLove @ The Crown, Battersea

Great location. Service was great in the pub below but in the rooms above loud, not great for sleep. Rooms had bed bugs and underneath the beds were not cleaned. I checked out on discovering this (other people had checked out as well or were moved to other rooms)

Not best welcome when i arrived Got to the room and it stank of sweaty feet and bo All through the night was constant noise I was lucky to get couple hours sleep at most The bathrooms seemed clean but someone left one in awful mess The only good thing was the bed Sheets were clean and was quite comfy

The staff was terrible, I had a problem with one of the guest in the room because he was drunk and under drugs effected, I asked the staff to change my place to another bed or room they refused to help me them I had to leave the place 2am for my own security

For the price and my needs, this worked out for me. Pub downstairs was fine. free evening and night parking in streets close by

I'm really sad to write this review. I've stayed 200+ times at this hostel over the last 4 years and the accomodation, staff and location are fantastic. Even better since the refurbishment, although with a slight increase in price and removal of free breakfast, not as competatively priced as previously. However the real deal breaker has been the on and off Bed Bug infestations that I have had to suffer. On my last stay, they were so bad, I have over 100 bites and had to get a refund and leave early. Easily the itchiest bites I have ever suffered. I feel the Hostel is in denial and failing to fully address the issue. I therefore emplore anyone suffering same to leave a review and hope that the Hostel will be fully treated and get back to offering great accomodation.

Nice and very clean. Will stay again.

Lovely staff, clean rooms decent bathrooms and nice drinks

The guy serving at the bar, put me in the worst bunk (i.e. top furthest from the window). Safety light on all night, room like an oven, 1 inch gap in window opening. If he didn't do it on purpose, I think he needs to experience a hot night for himself.

Très propre et lit confortable. Loin des attraits, mais juste à côté d’un arrêt de bus. Employés très serviables. Pas de climatisation. Je le recommande sans hésiter!

Got the wrong bed 3 times or someone took Mine and ended up sleeping in somebody’s else’s because refusal of help from the receptionist and personal
