Crows Hotel (Lancaster, United Kingdom)

If you like to stay in the heart of a city centre, you can't go far wrong with the Crows Lancaster. Step outside and you'll find yourself within a two-minute stroll of shops, dining spots and the beautiful Lancaster Castle. Guests also mention that this hotel provides a good base from which to visit the coast and the Lake District.

Guests leave plenty of positive feedback about the standard of the rooms, commenting that they are spotlessly clean. Ample towels are provided and these are refreshed daily for your comfort. Guests tend to be of the opinion that this is a boutique hotel at a B&B price.

A freshly cooked breakfast marks the start of each day. Plus, guests mention that you can also have cold items such as cereal, fresh fruit and yoghurt. Your tea and coffee will be continuously topped up by friendly waiting staff.

Several guests mention that the parking can be quite tricky although the staff do seem to call ahead to check if you need a space. Late arrivers may need to find an alternative space and, given the city centre location, may need to pay.

The central location of this hotel means that there is some background noise to contend with. Although the windows in the rooms are double-glazed, some guests were still able to hear some background noise in the form of traffic and people visiting nearby venues.

A small number of guests mention that they were unable to open the window in their room. As a result, they felt the atmosphere wasn't quite as fresh as they would have liked. This is an infrequent complaint, so it seems that not all rooms are affected.
