Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Crown Bar & Guesthouse is appreciated for its central Broadstairs location, just a short walk to the town and beach. Guests frequently highlight the spacious family rooms, often comprising two adjoining rooms, complete with comfortable beds, TVs, and amenities like tea, coffee, and biscuits; mini fridges are also available in some rooms. While some guests in front-facing rooms have noted noise due to the central location and pub below, many find it a great value for money for an uncomplicated stay, especially being conveniently located near restaurants and bars.

the family room had two bedrooms with tvs and comfy beds. the toilet and shower areas were clean, and they had consumables left . the staff were friendly and cute.
the location was very noisy throughout the night, even with windows closed, so i couldn't sleep. there was no air conditioning, and i couldn't open the windows due to the noise on a hot night! the bathroom had poor facilities and smelly drains.
