The Crown & Anchor

The only negatif thing was that the floor seemed a little old and creaked quite a lot when walking. This may not be something the host can control. However, as the bathroom and toilet were shared, some of the other guests were quite noisy late at night, and I woke up several times. I think this was more down to the other guests than the accommodation itself.

Condition is not perfect, something works, something might be rusty, but it's not hidden or unexpected, infromations and photos from booking is correct. The price is quite high for Europe prices per value, however it seems to be OK based on UK prices.

Nothing it was perfect

The shower went from arctic to skin melting and back about 16 times a minute

The shower didnt drain well and wasnt hot enough

Slitt, lytt inne og en del støy utenfra.

Was a bit loud but managed to sleep fine

Struggled slightly with the code to get in after hours.

I booked this accommodation because I was working away from home for two weeks and needed somewhere clean, quiet and comfortable to rest after 13-hour shifts. Unfortunately, this property was completely unsuitable for that purpose.

The biggest issue was the noise. I understand that staying above a pub means there will be some noise, but this was on another level. It genuinely felt as though I was inside the bar. During football matches the room vibrated with the volume of the music and customers, making it extremely difficult to sleep. I have stayed in many pubs in busy city centres before and have never experienced anything like this.

For the first four nights I stayed in my originally booked room on the first floor. During that time, I had no reliable hot water in either shared bathroom. Even when I was the first person to shower, the water was often freezing.

When I eventually moved rooms, the noise was still an issue. The property also failed to inform me that I needed to change rooms, despite the fact that I had made two separate reservations and had asked twice whether I would need to move. Once I was moved, the room itself was nicer and one of the bathrooms finally had reliable hot water. However, this appeared to be the only working bathroom available for all of the guest rooms, which I estimate served more than nine rooms.

I had also been offered another room on the upper floor, but the bedside lamp and extractor fan were not working, and it contained two single beds rather than the double room I had booked, so it was not a suitable alternative.

The shared bathrooms were poorly maintained throughout my stay. The floors were frequently wet, there was visible pink mould between the tiles, and the shower drains regularly backed up, bringing dirty brown water and debris onto the shower floor. Combined with the unreliable hot water, this made using the facilities unpleasant and unhygienic.

If you’re visiting for a night out or a gig this place may suit.

The bed was too soft for my back, and there was no latch to lock the door from the inside. When staying alone, I prefer to have a latch, but this door only had the key. You could obviously lock it, but if there was another key, there was not latch inside.
