Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Crown & Anchor offers great value, especially considering its central location near the Northern Quarter and just a short walk from the station. Guests often appreciate the comfortably sized rooms, some equipped with big TVs, and the convenience of having a pub downstairs. While the rooms are generally well-received, a few guests have found the furnishings to be a bit basic.

Central Stay with Pub Atmosphere

central location hearty breakfast

The location provided easy access to city center attractions. The staff members were friendly and accommodating! I appreciated the hearty breakfast served for £11. It offered excellent value. I will certainly consider staying here again for future events.

The room faced the street. I could hear considerable noise late into the night! This made getting restful sleep difficult. I recommend bringing earplugs.

small room occupied toilet

The staff was always available and accommodating to guests.

The room was quite small, approximately 2x3 meters. Noise from other guests and the street was disturbing (I really could hear everything). The toilet was down the corridor and often occupied, inconvenient.

I am grateful the staff was fantastic. they couldn't do enough for me. the location was ideal for all transport to get about. it was clean and well presented. It was ideal for what i needed.
