Lovely welcome from friendly staff, good atmosphere, superb food… amazing pies & excellent breakfast.. especially the Yorkshire eggs. ideal location for the Barbican. Good value for money. Front facing room but not that noisy. (3). Comfortable bed, tea & coffee facilities in room. If I’m being really picky needed dusting.. cobweb on light fitting.

Will be back!

Room was very comfortable as was the bed. Everything was clean. Even though it was above a pub, it was remarkably quiet. The food at the pub was very good and the full breakfast, made to order, was wonderful!!
Large bed was very comfortable!
Large room with en-suite bathroom. View behind the pub.
Dinner at the pub. We each had a pie.
Dinner night 2 - mac&cheese and steak.

Stayed for one night at Crown and Rose B&B. Room is above pub and dining room but quiet. Room faced the back of the property so noise was minimal. No AC but fan is provided and night was cool. Room is basic but comfortable. Breakfast was good. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Carl David

Liked: Staff & service
Mixed feelings about the place… lovely staff, convenient for the city and venues (Barbican in particular). Free car parking, decent breakfast. However the venue is on a main road and the noise is loud pretty much constantly and the property is very dated. I have to say the bed is the most antiquated and uncomfortable we have ever known. So in the most important way, the place is not really somewhere we could consider again.
