well presented and clean
they serve food very nice food
No breakfast, court yard view.
Nothing
Location was central & food was delicious.
Cleanliness. The room and bathroom needed a deep clean.
Had a really nice stay. Perfect location and nice family room in the building of an old pub. Plus, amazing food just under your feet.
Clean, comfortable, basic accommodation, friendly staff, and good food. Everything needed for a couple of nights stay without unnecessary frills. Perfect location for exploring the Elan Valley and beyond.
Decoration is a little tired, and shower room fittings, towel and toilet roll holders etc. have disappeared, which is a little inconvenient but not a major issue.
location
walk from public car park to hotel dining tables were clean but very sticky food & drink prices at top end of expected range
Free Wifi and friendly staff
No hot water of an evening only first thing in the morning, the shower once it was working was either freezing cold or scalding hot, nothing between. The room was not cleaned or bed made during my stay, this includes towels not changed and cups from the tea/coffee making facilities just left.
A great stop over for cyclists. Secure dry storage for bikes. Hot shower and a comfy bed. Plus Pub across the road provided biggest portion meal I’ve ever had.
It suited me and my bike fine, nothing not to like.
Central location Excellent dinner menu and quality/service
Bedroom and mattresses a bit tired
The staff were really friendly .
The bed was not very comfortable, quite lumpy.
The building very old and quaint, centre of village. I ate in the restaurant and the food was good.
Kettle in room wasn't clean inside and dust on the lid. Carpet needed cleaning. Parking was a little awkward to find.
Centrally located, inexpensive. They have a dedicated bicycle shed to store bikes for those staying as a stopover on National Cycle Route 8.
The walls between the rooms are thin so you could hear whatever your neighbour was doing. Furnishings shoddy, bed saggy, shower cramped. Perfunctory welcome.
Location was great, price was great value.
No complaints for that price.
Good location for shops bars & restaurants & close to Elan valley
The bed was very uncomfortable & the bathroom floor squeaked a lot every time we moved. It was clean but rooms could definitely do with a n update.
Good price £100 for 2 nights. Pubs are good (The Crown & Lamb & Flag). Location is great.
I didn't expect too much for the money and it was ok, because I only used the room to sleep. Mattress very soft and saggy, no daylight or bedside lamp. Thin walls, a bit of neighbour noise in the morning.
Friendly and efficient staff. Excellent food and a characterful bar.
Room was fine and good value for money.
Could do with a door on the bedroom and a latch to close the door so the dog couldn't get out whe moving luggage. Great location
Le restaurant et la gentillesse de la patrone
Great location in the centre of the town. Superb, helpful staff .. The shower was good, The bed was comfortable.for me but too soft for my husband .Good value for the money It's a pub with rooms and a good restaurant .
Nowhere to hang clothes, no hairdryer. Lots of dust on the windowsill
Great location
Rooms could do with an update but good value for the price
Room was located away from the main road which meant it was quiet. The room lacked nothing and was big enough for me. Location is excellent - so handy for shops, pubs, cafes etc.
Nothing
No breakfast, pub was closed
Room was too small, chair was broken.
Was Central and can’t fault it for that,
Mouldy smell, Very noisy, Bathroom floor did my head in even just cleaning your teeth. 🙈
The location was perfect for our initial journey through Wales. Great for the elan valley and the dams nearby.
Room was too basic and small although served it's purpose. Food in pub was v good and staff friendly and helpful
Very good price, rooms a little tired buit adequate for what i wanted
Hôtel avec un très bon emplacement et accueil agréable.
Pas moderne mais ok pour le prix
Lovely food
Easy to find, accommodating with extra needs (having a bike etc)! Very friendly staff!
Beds were ok shower looked ok but didn’t use it plenty hot water tele worked
Difficult steps no chairs just a wooden stool ivy growing through window toilet stained toilet cistern took forever to refill only one bedside light and ceiling light not very good for reading tv in the wrong position as at Right angle to the bed very noisy till late with it being near to bar No through ventilation
There wasn't any breakfast available with the accommodation, but was place nearby.Great location in the heart of Wales.
Not much!
Very clean fabulous location and great value for money
Nothing to dislike
Central location. Good value for money. Staff attentive and helpful.
Sheepish outdoor steps to first floor room area.
Very nice people, neat little room, easy check in and out.
No complaints.
Location
Nobody there, no message on the door had to ring the company, pub closed,. Very poor beds
Good location and easy access to everything in town. Friendly helpful staff.
Easy parking and a great pub meal across the road.
Location brilliant. Food grrrr8 staff helpful
The location, and value for money
Nothing
Location and availability of rooms at a busy time
Noise from the bar was audible and room temperature was high
Location very good parking for bikes Also food very good and staff very helpful and pleasant
No nothing
Location was great and pub itself was lovely.
Room was very dated with lots of obvious signs of wear and tear. Although generally clean the previous users rubbish was still in the bin. Main door lock was difficult in both locking and unlocking using the key. Shower falling apart.
Very comfortable room, above a very nice pub with terrific food. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Would stay again!
L emplacement etait tres bien
La chambre est vieillote , basse de plafond et tres bruyante
Perfect for what I needed for one night. Everything was clean and perfectly laid out, room was a good size and the bathroom was nice. Bed was comfortable and TV worked perfectly. Its right in the middle of town and whilst there's no parking available there's a car park not even 2 minutes down the road. They were also more than happy to have the husky before we went on a trek which is even more amazing!
It was clean and the TV worked
It was CLOSED. I had to go to the pub opposite to get a key. The bed was very uncomfortable. The pillows were uncomfortable. The walls are so thin you can hear next door snoring. Shower was falling apart. Noisy delivery early morning. Not much more than a couple of hours sleep. Not happy.
Gran ubicación, la comida del restaurante muy buena.
La habitación estaba encima del patio de entrada, se escuchaban todas las voces y ruidos.
Just location
Dirty marks on the bed sheet,no check out facilities just gave key to worker who was doing the rubbish , bed very uncomfortable would say need new mattresses
Excellent location . Friendly Staff . Clean. Warm . Fine for the Money. WiFi excellent . Pub below was closed on a Tuesday night…zero noise.
Decoration is very tired. Wires dangling down . Marks on ceilings…it could do with a bit of TLC . BUT ALL WAS CLEAN. Also nowhere to put or hang clothes (?) Sounds a bit petty but had to lay clothes on the floor.
Would have appreciated a bedside light.
Price
Facilities poor. Associated restaurant mediocre dirty and full of drunks. Hotel bar closed in evening. Room ok but spartan
It was perfect for our needs for the night and near Eden Valley which was why we were staying in the area.
The walls were thin so we could hear the noise and chattered from the pub below our room and people next door. However the pub did not stay open late and quieten down at a reasonable time. It did not affect our stay and the staff were honest about this at arrival as the pub is an old building.
Comfortable and cosy, great for a short stay over and also dog friendly.
Perfectly located in the heart of Rhayader. Food and drinks across the road at the Lamb & Flag (sister pub). Friendly staff, clean and comfortable and very well priced.
The shower could have been better - but for £50 per night I am being really picky. Not other complaints.
Central and Cheap.
Very Dated rooms, no cupboards to hang stuff, no door on main bedroom.
Just the location
Rest everything, especially the lady from the bar was doing everything and behaved very bad, it’s kind of I was staying there for free
Nothing.
Trailing wires around the room. My 23 months daughter got tripped over in wire and hurt her nose . Bathroom door was not locking . No door on bedroom. There was no one whom we can say our concern to. Had very bad experience. No safety measures
Quaint , convenient location with an excellent business plan with several pubs in the same group. The room was warm and clean and quiet. The shower was hot and with plentiful water.
We could have done with some hooks the room in which to hang coats. The emergency night light glowed intrusively in the room until we covered it with a scarf to make the room dark.
Staff were friendly, it was right in the center of town and the food was really good
Bed could have been comfier, the duvet was a bit thin so woke up cold a few times. There was a constant machine noise up until about 10:30 coming from outside.
Well located and reasonably priced
The noise from the bar was very loud. You could hear every word people were saying on the floor below
The Crown Inn Rhayader accommodation needs attention. More simple inexpensive storage like a few more hooks and shelves, poor for storage. Not that clean. Staff were friendly and the location great.
Location ideal for Elan Valley, Mid and North Wales.
No breakfast at the location available but designated cafe, Ty Morgan’s was very good.
Room too small. Extract fan in shower room didn’t work. Light over mirror in bedroom didn’t work. Blind over window didn’t work. Drain smell in shower room very pungent. Carpet stained.
Location. Dinner at restaurant very enjoyable as was ambience of pub. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Location good but no parking. Room small.- room 2. Mattress needed replacing as did shower also was cold. The staff did address the issues and I had a quilt as a mattress topper and the heating was put on constant. Breakfast available at cafe across the road.
Good location & cosy accommodation
In one bedroom , noise coming from internal door, from adjacent room - possibly staff room , staff should be aware when people are staying , & keep noise down to a minimum in this room , regarding the internal door , it would benefit from some kind of sound protection , to minimise noise .
Interesting breakfast set-up, across the square at Ty Morgan, where the key was returned. The evening staff from the pub were very helpful, but the staff at Ty Morgan were a tad abrupt.
The facilities look like they're awaiting refurbishment - missing towel rail, badly fitting loo seat, etc. No bedside lights.
Lovely rustic pub in a fabulous location, excellent food
I last stayed here 2 years ago and thought I’d give it another go but sadly they still haven’t taken the multiple reports of the mattresses which remain lumpy and pillows that were flat and lumpy. So sadly I hardly slept so maybe in another 2 years they might change the beds… I will keep my eye on the reviews as I travel to mid wales regularly and like everything else about this place.
Great location
The ‘welcome’ wasn’t great, maybe the lady was having a bad day. Immediately wanted an extra £10 for my dog (a 9kg Cavapoo that doesn’t moult) If the stay was truly £45, it would have been good value, but after the extra £10 for the dog and £12 for parking, I could have paid the same for much nicer accommodation and a warmer welcome. I had initially planned to eat in the Crowne, but due to the frosty welcome, I had dinner elsewhere.
Room above the pub, fairly noise to late nights. Stayed there before was way better room and quiet.
Old and need upgrade room, shower was not very powerful and floor is very creaky.
Great location
Lovely pub with food and ideal location for walking in Elan valley
Great location. Only a few miles from Elan valley
Room was above a busy pubs so it was quite noisy but that didn’t bother us and it went quiet around 10.30pm. The mattresses are borderline on needed to be changed but overall it was a pleasant stay.
Central, friendly, clean and organised
Bed side lamp buld blew and no kettle in room 1
Good location, reasonable price and very comfortable
The bar downstairs closed earlier than the other bars in the village
location that was all.
having to climb up dodgy steps to your room as we had very elderly parents with us( this was not advertised). The crown it self did a excellent meal but when we finished around 9 o'clock then had a few more drinks at 10 we was told it was last orders. advertising it was open until 11. Rooms were out dated not a problem, shower was a trickle that was a problem.
Easy to find, very warm, small room. Free on street parking by the petrol station, 3 min walk away. Good price, working Internet.
Room was quite small.
Staff was really helpful. Room was nice and warm
Noise from extractor fan . And no view
Nice, warm and cosy room that I stayed in with my husband. The Inn wasn't open unfortunately but it was quiet so slept well.
I thought it was only going to be a room but it was like a mini apartment. Right in the centre near all amenities. Nice friendly staff. Good sized bedrooms and shower room.
It was better than we were expecting and at a good price, but if you want constructive criticism - uncomfy floppy mattresses, we could hear every word going on below and in the office next to the bedroom. It could do with more than just the one mirror - put some in the bedrooms. There seemed to be no control over the heat in the rooms and it was very hot - save your business some money and turn it down a few notches.
Value for money. Couldn't ask for more for the cost
All good
Easy check in and checkout. Nice old room in old property
It was perfect for a hike stopover for two blokes. No nitpicking required.
