Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Crown Bar & Guesthouse features family rooms that are interconnecting and quite spacious. Guests appreciate having extras like a fridge, nice toiletries, and a generous supply of tea, coffee, and milk in their rooms, all replenished daily. The location is ideal for exploring, as it's under 5 minutes from the beach and shops, and about 10 minutes from Broadstairs railway station. Some guests have mentioned street noise, especially in rooms where windows need to be left open.

Fantastic Stay Close to Everything !

central location helpful staff spacious room reasonable price

The location is amazing , just a few minutes to the beach and various shops. The staff was genuinely helpful and the housekeeping kept everything super clean. I found the room spacious and the bed super comfortable. The bar prices were reasonable , and the Sunday roast was delicious , but you should book it in advance.

I noticed a slight musty odor in the hallway , but it didn't affect my room at all.

FANTASTIC Family Room!

large windows comfy bed

The family room was AMAZING!!! It featured two adjoining rooms. Each room included large windows and fireplaces. There was a comfy double bed plus two comfy single beds. The room provided a bathroom with a bath, a shower, and a separate toilet.

The location was noisy at night, even with the windows closed. It was hard to sleep. It is in the heart of the town and above a pub.
