Great location in a beautiful city. The staff were helpful and friendly and the breakfast was excellent. Car park was a bit tricky as it was Bank Holiday and the roads around the square were closed off,but we managed. This hotel is dog friendly which is excellent news for all those dog lovers looking for somewhere good to stay in... More

We arrived at The Crown on a Saturday when the market was in full swing. It was rather unclear as to how we could reach the car park as there were gates closing off the access route. I think it would be helpful if the Hotel gave their Saturday (and Weds) guests some basic advice and a small map to... More

You know that feeling of anticipation when you open the door to your room for the first time? The one of trepidation which thinks "I've just driven hundreds of miles. I'm crushingly tired. I'm about to pay good money. This better be magnificent at worst or I might throw my teddy from the pram"? Well, if you come to the... More

If you like your architectural history then you luv this place, dates back to the 15th century and is also a hotel. Ate in the hotel bar, food was good and reasonably priced, but be prepared to pay a little more than your average pub grub prices. good location, and good polite service. Seating arrangements not particularly good, we were... More

Very old, quirky but nice hotel, comfortable room. Food excellent in Anton's Bistro, good service and friendly staff. Only criticism is that there is no comfortable lounge in which to relax. There is a bar with very little comfy seating, set up more for serving meals at tables.

We stayed just 1 night with friends who had been there for several nights. The hotel couldn't be more central and luckily has a car park (free) - essential in Wells. Reception was friendly and so were the bar staff as we first had drinks and lunch. Our room faced the market square and was large but in need of... More

this is a strange one.....outside of hotel was rather run down and reception (when they did materialise) not very welcoming. My heart sank a little so I consoled myself "oh well, I am only here for a night". However, they did 'upgrade' me and I found the room perfectly adequate...bed OK, bathroom acceptable, toiletries nice......maybe a little noisy....I think there... More

Well, we are sorry you disliked The Crown and Wells so much. Firstly, The Crown is not an hotel, we are an inn and market ourselves thus. We are sorry you thought The Crown to be "rather run down". We do continue to refurbish this beautiful 15th century inn. As for Wells, it is the location for Hot Fuzz, Elizabeth... More
