“Would stay there again”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Just spent two nights at the Crow's Nest and had a great experience. It was by no means anything fancy -- the room had a full-size and a twin bed, tv, desk, fridge, microwave -- but it was clean and all we needed. We had absolutely no problems with noise. They were fully booked on Saturday night and we didn't hear a peep. You check in at the bar and then go around back to a different door to access the rooms. My only concern was that the outside door didn't lock, and the room itself only had the doorknob lock -- no other deadbolt or chain. But we would definitely stay there again. The people in the bar were great. Annie, the bartender, was a hoot. Had a lot of fun talking to lots of different people. Parking was on the street but was no problem, and it felt safe walking around the area even at night. And the rate certainly couldn't be beat.

“Good value basic accomodation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

person found this review helpful

The accomodation was very basic but clean. The accomodation is accessed via a seperate door to the pub. We were concerned that it would be noisy but it wasn't. You can park on the road outside for free. It is a little walk to the main Gloucester attractions

“Decent place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2010

My husband and I stayed there for 5 nights. If all you are looking for is a place to sleep then this is the place for you! The rooms were clean, bathroom was clean. Our room did not have ac but it was Oct and we just opened the windows when it warmed up. The cops were called one night to the bar at 1am. On Thurs and Friday nights the hallway was loud. People were banging on doors ( no one knocked on ours) . The place is cheap, clean and a place to crash. You need to remember you are sleeping over a bar. If you are ok with that then this is a great place! You do have to make your own bed but they do provide fresh towels!

“If you want to save money and be close to town this is it - if you want anything else, go elsewhere”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed here one night this summer before a whale watching trip. You have to go into the bar to get the key. The room smelled a bit of old cigarettes but it was clean. The bathroom was clean and stocked with the necessities too.
We did not spend too much time there - and that's the point. If you want a cheap room, it's the best place in town. Also - had a GREAT breakfast down the street!

“Inexpensive, no frills”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2010

We stayed here two nights. The rooms are no frills, above the bar. No AC. I do think they need to work on the entrance doors. The doors do not automatically shut so can easily be left open all night. The people in the bar were very helpful and friendly. Good restaurants are close and easily walkable. I was fine with this room, but people who expect a traditional hotel experience might be uncomfortable
