We called in and had a drink in the bar on a cold, frosty night in front of the roaring log fire and the place had a charm all of its own.

Cheap and cheerful hotel and pub but the Polish lady absolutely smashed out of her tree feeding her dog raw pork and trying to fight a couple of lads having a drink after work kind of put us off the bar

I had two 2-night reservations in April and October. After staying there in April I swore that I would never return again (no food available, tatty room, and room not serviced for my second night. The single bath towel not replaced, coffee facilities not replenished, bed no made). When I returned home, I found an alternative hotel for my second visit (in Oct). I made a reservation at the alternative place and happily cancelled my second reservation with the Crown. The "alternative hotel" will always get my business whenever I am in the area - no more Crown Hotel !!

Never again!!! No heating, curtains didn't close properly. Wardrobe doors kept opening when walking around the room, bed in wrong place to see the TV from. Wall paper peeling away from walls, had to park on local shop carpark. Restaurant advertised but was closed, staff were scarce and not very helpful!!Rooms: Not good, uncomfortable bed and pillows

Only because it is not possible to give 0 stars. Avoid like the plague. Obscene hotel. In 15 years of traveling around the world for work. This is the absolute worst.Avoid staying in this hotel. The worst in 15 years of traveling around the world for business. I also get infected by bed bugs. Planned to stay for 10 days. Left after one awful night.

A Disastrous Experience!A man tried to break into my room on the second night of a two night stay. This scary event lasted for nearly half an hour before he gave up. He was shouting at me and banging the door, trying to get in. I have contacted the hotel several times since my stay and have a only received a one line response to say that my email has been passed to the owner, but no further response. A security issue such as this is extremely worrying and led to no sleep for the remainder of the night as I was worried they would return and with no idea if they were still outside the door, but quiet. No-one was in reception in the morning to discuss.In addition to this, when I arrived I spoke to a lady who was initially pleasant. I had to wait as new curtains were being fitted. When I got into the room it smelt disgusting. The tv did not work, so I went back downstairs to report this and was told by the lady that she was over worked and that this wasn't her job. In the end I said not to worry about it.I am now nervous about staying in any hotels because of this experience and still the hotel team do not think it would be a good idea to contact me.In simple terms, do not stay here!

The worst and dirtiest hotel I have ever slept in.We paid 100 pounds per night and were given a musty, old room that had never been cleaned.Apart from the fact that the whole hotel smells musty.The bed is almost falling apart, there is dust everywhere and small insects were crawling when lifting the mattress.The pictures of the kettle are self-explanatory.

Was booked here by my company for its location but it was just awful.The furniture was falling apart, the bath hadn?t been cleaned as there was a huge spider in there and some weird stains.The inside of the kettle was full of green mould and some weird brown sludge?And worst of all glass was missing from my window so it was cold and insanely loud.Went down to reception and nobody was there?I don?t expect 5* or even have particularly high standards but a cup of tea and a window seem pretty basic requirements.

Where do I start.......No breakfast available, restaurant closed.......no staff about apart from someone on the bar.There was no beer but got a glass of wine each.On arrival, we were told on reception we were given the key for the bridal suite.......if I were a bride, I would have been distraught as the room was very dated, 70s curtains, a small, double bed.Scratched bedside cabinets.....toilet seat was broken but they did mend it thankfully.Mould on the ceiling in bathroom.........No staff about at all.It was like a ghost hotel.Thebonly reason we stayed two nights was the fact they took our money on arrival and we couldn't book anything else.......We were amazed that the hotel wasn't tip top as it is within the vicinity of Silverstone Surely, if you got you act together, you could be on the map and catering for the racing fraternity and make it far more popular ?.......it could be a gem.It wouldn't take much to refurb and bring it up to speck. I would love the challenge.......

infested carpet, dirty pre-war mattress, cockroaches and food waste under the bed, lights not working, stuff only seen at booking......I wouldn't let even a dog sleep in this rundown, dirty and disgusting hotel

Vile, filthy, drug ridden, pubic hair in the shower, smelly, infested and sticky carpeted hole. Never stay in this place, unless it's the last place standing after a nuclear war. Fing horrible. Aside from the fact that the staff are clueless, the 'management' seem to permanently off their its and don't actually care. Personally, and if I'm really stuck for somewhere to stay in Brackley anytime soon, I may just go upstairs when the receptionist isnt about (which is often), go upstairs, kick a door in and stay there for free although I might need to bathe in disinfectant if I sleep on one of the matresses.

Absolutely awful, stayed here last year and this is a summary of my experience:Stepped on a shard of glass that was on the floor in my room.Black mold in all corners of the bathroom and a filthy bathroom with a broken sink.Room looked like it belonged to a building somebody abandoned 30 years ago, they definitely don't do any cleaning. The absolute worst room I have ever slept in.And a myriad of other issues, an awfully run hotel.
