We needed a place to stop for just one night and the Crown Inn was functional and convenient. We had Room 2 in the courtyard annex. Straightforward and friendly check-in, a small and clean double room (ensuite, but no soap or shower gel, take your own!), comfortable and warm bed, tea/coffee making facilities and a TV. The only problem wasn't of the Crown's doing: it was the pub-pretending-to-be-a-nightclub opposite (it was Saturday night). The street noise itself wasn't too bad, but the thump of the music was two notches too high on the thumpometer. When you can feel the vibrations in the pub across the road, you have to wonder what the locals make of it each week. Perfectly quiet location when the nightclub finally closed. Only 3 stars as a result; wouldn't stay here again over a weekend, but other times probably a great option.

The room was cold, carpet is worn out, mold on the ceiling of bathroom. Right next to main road through the town, another 2 pubs opposite, so noisy at closing time, then noisy when people were leaving at 5:30 & 6:30 am

Could be better

In need of decorating or a spruce up. There was mold on the walls and ceiling. Wouldn't take much to make it a really nice room to stay in.

Great staff, poor room

The photos of the rooms look good but the rooms were very small and cramped with an overall “grubby” feel. The staff were really friendly but they were let down by the room.

On arrival at 8.30pm we were told that we could not get a meal as the kitchen was overworked with a large table. This despite the last food order time of 9.00pm. We were informed that if we had booked a table then they would have served us!! Not sure what difference a booked table would have made to an overworked kitchen. Also very noisy street until half past midnight. Otherwise facilities average for money.

Nice gem of a place and food very good

Staff absolutely fantastic - room was hot due to radiator on all the time and though turned off, was still on. Opened a window that helped and there was a fan in the room so bearable. Had requested double but got a twin - wasn't that fussed so didn't bother asking if could change. Overall would recommend for sure - location great.

Fantastic pub with all the charms required. Staff were lovely and friendly and I had one of the best evening meals I have ever had here! Great location close to the Elan valley, quirky little shops and everything you could need for a lovely night away. Downside, there is only pay and display parking a street away & breakfast is served in the bistro also a street away. The rooms are basic and up a flight of stairs but I would still recommend a stay here.

Great location to explore Elan Valley.

The perfect location to explore the valley. The team were friendly and helpful. The accommodation needs updating is in a pub, so not great if you go to bed early as it can be a bit noisy, however, if you enjoy a drink and good food until closing time then it's perfect. The food served in the pub was delicious.

From the owners to all of their staff they were all very welcoming and friendly. Food was excellent value. Our room was good adequate for what we wanted as we were visiting the Royal Welsh show so not in our room very much. Bedding was very clean.
