Room was very clean, bed was very comfortable, large room (executive double), staff were very friendly and helpful.

There was plenty of parking spaces, there is a spot on the way down to the parking which crunches your bumper, not the end of the world as you are going slow but not ideal.

The showers are good, plenty of pressure and good temperature control, however they are low. I have to duck to be able to get underneath it.

The stay was uncomfortable. The area in which the hotel is in is very urban city like. The hotel wouldn't give refunds for anything. I paid for my breakfast in advance, didnt enjoy the first day, requested a refund for the next for days. They wouldnt give it to me. Instead they said they would consider the rest of the days as a paid dinner. Dinner was not enjoyable either. Still no refund granted. I also had to a moldy shower curtain upon my arrival and had to request a new one. They don't use wash clothes at this hotel so i had to go out and purchase my own.

hotel needs work, this is 4 star but room is old and dated, windows so filthy cannot see out of, years worth of pigeon mess on all sills, balconies etc, bedroom curtain thin and held by a wire, not black out thermal or insulated which would help to dampen the sound from the very busy road and would be expected as standard in a 4star hotel. Dust in rooms, dirty glasses were in corridor when I arrived and same glasses still in corridor when I left two days later. Shower water not the hottest but that may be personal preference.

housekeeping policy is every third day unless requested, I did not request yet housekeeping entered and replaced bath floor towel onto bath, nothing else was done and housekeeping would have walked past the glasses in the corridor and left them

Bed was comfortable and breakfast was nice.

Parking expensive given street parking is free for the overnight

The beds were extremely comfortable. The room was clean and housekeeping came everyday. The AC broke down for the last three days of our stay, but the weather cooled anyway- so we didn't need it. The building looks due for a remodel - just rough around the edges.
One elevator worked, the other did not. Fine during the week, but the hotel was very busy on the weekends, so you had to wait awhile at the elevator. Nice location overall.

Short stay close to wembley stadium

Our room was very dated with stains on the carpet and a worn out bathroom, Making it feel like it wasnt very clean. Our room was missing an iron and the air-con didnt work, Staff were friendly enough and the location was great for a short ride to Wembley, Front of hotel is nice and clean with good parking facilities. We decided not to have breakfast based on how are room was.

My Louis Vuitton Hand held Luggage was stolen from the hotel lobby as I wait for my cab to the station.

My MacBook, jewelry, personal item, wrist watch gift items was all in the language.

I all got in response was that it is a public area and they don’t have control. Meanwhile there is no sign or prior warning to such a crime often taking place in the hotel.

They referred me to the police

Needs TLC

Property is tired and it looks as though they are updating some areas. Some parts such as the corridor from the car park to the scruffy lift is a disgrace. The lobby is actually quite pleasant but pass through there to a very tired dining room for breakfast. I have read poor reviews but it was actually OK . Price for a room although still not cheap is a much lower than other properties. Cricklewood is hardly the most salubrious part of London either. It suited us as it was a bed for the night as we were visiting family and spent little time in the hotel. Staff at the desk and breakfast were pleasant .

Lovely building just make sure you dont end up on the lowest floor. Lowest floor for example room 035 is on the same level as the swimming pool. You cant open the curtains or you are at eye level with the swimmers in the pool. Carpets outside the room in corridors are wet and smell due to swimmers feet. Stairs arent clean on any level, most guest use the lift and dont see this. A good point about this hotel is large underground carpark that i was not charged for.

Well, I'll keep it brief:

1- Limited connectivity to central London, it takes an average of an hour to get to most of the popular spots, and it could get more difficult and time-consuming to return back to the hotel at night, due to a further limited number of routes/buses at those hours.

2- The neighbourhood doesn't feel very safe, especially at night.

3- Breakfast was a total disappointment, and waste of money, very few options were available and were poorly cooked/seasoned.

4- The room was very noisy during the morning hours, due to housekeeping opening and closing (well, slamming) the hallway doors with their carts, a complaint was raised to the reception desk but nothing changed.

5- The bathtub is very narrow, and makes you susceptible to falling off (actually there is a warning sticker on the wall highlighting that fact in a subtle way). Moreover, the heating system has issues were the water is cold for a minute and then gets hot for some time (and then cold again) without having to turn the knob (very high-tech stuff I tell you).

So the only reason why I stayed in the hotel was that because the payment was non-refundable. Definitely not recommended.

Worst hotel of my entire life

This is the grossest hotel with the worst service of any hotel I've ever stayed in. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL! We got moved to three rooms, each with issues but mostly related to bugs and not working equipment. We also had wet bed sheets in a room, and a broken window. This is the worst stay I've ever had, do not, please do not book here. Also the parking is abysmal, do not try to take a large car here

Pleasantly surprised by our large air-coned room. Perfect stop for a girly trip of 4 to see Dua Lipa at Wembley. Conveniently situated to subway with a brisk 10 minute walk. We had a drink in the pub attached to hotel but didn’t eat as had already booked food near Wembley, all looked good though. McDonalds nearby so that was our breakfast stop as not included in our stay.
Our only disappointment was one of the single beds was collapsing so does need repair.

Our rooms walk in shower flooded the entire bathroom no matter where the shower head was pointed. We were then moved to another room after pushing, since we had no place to even wash. Complaint was made at around 9 30pm when we came back for the day, and was told somebody would come to the room. Almost an hour later I had to go and ask again as nobody had arrived. The newly allocated room was below ground and was literally viewing an internal kids swimming pool. Very uncomfortable feeling, as anyone could be put in a room viewing kids in the pool. Not good.
All furniture was dated and marked, and room cleaning service was not till late afternoon. Our room had no hand soap in it either, even after the room service.

Safe in first room didnt work

Lift had broken buttons, so carried cases down stairs to new room

Newly allocated room had lock concerns from staff as it was also previously broken

No mini fridge

Bathroom extractor fan in newly allocated room was broken so steam didnt dissipate fast at all

Had to carry pillows into reception when moving to new room as staff thought new room had no pillows. Bit messy

All we were offered was 1 compensatory drink each.

Absolutely not worthy of a 4 star rating by any means.

Only benefits were the close proximity to transport links. I must note that the 2 female staff members who we dealt with the complaints were polite and helpful and we appreciated this given the time of night initially.

Mattrass on out bed was tyrned spring side up (like sleeping on the plank) when we discovered the issue and tried to flip it found massive blood stain on the other side. When contactwd a staff been told no more rooms available to swap, no spare mattrasses available, front staff qasnt able to go to our room as he couldnt leave reception and noone to escalate to issue to available until 2 days later. Hotel solution was to give us extra linien to cover the stain..... and free breakfast (we have already paid for at the time of booking).
Just to add the less but equally inconvenient points 2 escalators did not work the day we arrived, all 4 didnt work the day after. Coffee machine at the breakfast was out of service - great considering no sleep! and the toilet was dripping water all night through. Please consider carefully the the value for money as definitely not worth £160 a night.

The bathroom was very unhygienic. The bathtub smelt like urine and the bottom of it was the color brown. Everything was old and rusty, plus the shower looked like a faucet. A horrible and very strong smell of cheap perfume ( probably used to cover the smell of urine ) made your head pound with a headache. We left immediately and had to book another hotel room for the night. Only the staff were nice.

**Hotel Review: Average Stay with Some Issues**

I recently stayed at The Crown and my experience was somewhat average at best. Upon arrival, I was pleased to find that the room was clean, which always sets a good tone for any hotel stay. The housekeeping staff clearly put in the effort to maintain a neat environment.

However, my enjoyment was slightly dampened by the poor maintenance of the room. While the cleanliness was commendable, there were several issues that indicated a lack of attention to detail.

In summary, while The Crown provided a clean and comfortable place to rest my head, the poor maintenance and average amenities didn't leave a lasting impression. It serves its purpose for a short stay, but I might consider other options for future visit especially at the price they are charging.

Disappointed

As a couple we didn’t need a room with 3 beds in it, there was no kettle which we reported and asked for one to be put in our room in the evening for when we got back from dinner which didn’t happen. My partner went down to reception again and was told someone would bring one up and half an hour later a manager came up to our room and started looking through the cupboards adamant there was a kettle… like we hadn’t checked properly … they didn’t have a spare and all the rooms were full but they did in fairness bring us a brew up in the morning from the coffee machine.

I would not stay here again it was tired looking, not enough plug sockets, stains on the curtains and not cosy
