“Now the end is near...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I've been going to the Rose & Crown over many years, but in fact hadn't been there for about the last 6 or 7 years. The place doesn't really change and to me it's the epitome of a traditional English hotel. Welcome and friendliness are outstanding and the complimentary use of their sister hotel's spa is an excellent bonus.

Clearly there has not been much money spent on the hotel in recent times, and sadly I have to report that the hotel closes on 29th February 2012.

The impressive façade will remain, but the car park and outbuildings are to be replaced by 40-odd apartments.

We will miss you Rose & Crown.

“Mixed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

Impressive facade but if all the bedrooms are like ours they need gutting. They allowed us to bring our dog which may account for putting us in a room with a threadbare carpet but doesn't excuse the cracked tiles in the bathroom. We had to pay an extra £10 for the dog being there but unlike some hotels-not as much as a welcoming bonio! There was an appalling stench on the way to our room which I reported. The receptionist was to look into it but nothing changed until the next morning when a smell of disifectant overlaid the original odour. The breakfast was good, the waiter professional and the ambience interesting, what a pity the sleeping facilities don't measure up to the catering. There are no evening dining facilities.

“Friendly place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My partner and I have stayed here about 6 times in the last two years living only 20 miles away we find it the perfect place for a night away from family life.

The whole place is a bit tired but to me that adds to its 'olde worlde' charm, the most important thing is that it is clean and comfortable.

All the rooms we have had are large and comfortably furnished with good quality, though old, furniture. It has a feel of a bygone age.

Rooms at the front have a lovely view of the Church.

The condition of the hotel is obviously reflected in the room rate as it is not an expensive place to stay.

Its position in the heart of Tring town centre makes it an ideal base for walking to the many restaurants in the area.

I love staying here, the breakfast is great, though I do miss Carol who has moved to the sister hotel, as she seems to have taken the croissants with her!

Would I recommend this hotel - yes without hesitation.

Room Tip: The rooms at the back are away from the High Street and are quieter.

“Great location, helpful staff but desperately needs refurb”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Stayed here with friends in a family room when visiting friends in Tring. We have stayed here a couple of times before as it's the only option in Tring. The receptionist was incredibly helpful, friendly and welcoming and bent over backwards to find us a late-night pharmacy.
However the hotel is very shabby and run-down. Wallpaper coming off in sheets, very musty smell, tatty bathroom and old-fashioned TV.
As we just use it for somewhere to crash after a night out it doesn't matter too much but wouldn't be so good for a weekend away where the hotel is an integral part of the trip.

“Avoid at all costs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2011
5
people found this review helpful

Where do I start? Outside of the hotel showed neglect, windows falling apart, rotting wood etc. Parts of the plaster screed had fallen off hmmm! Inside the room was worse. Wallpaper from the year dot was falling off and torn. The grout in the bathroom floor tiles had long since disappeared, leaving loose tiles, very dangerous. Unbelievably, we found the hairdryer in the bedroom corner BEHIND the tv, who on earth thought that was a good idea. Room one had a boilerhouse directly outside the window, which produced loud noise all night long from the boilers, NO SLEEP!! The receptionist tried to tell us that no one else had complained about this in room 1 but she did tell us that room 5 always complain. 07:00 on Sunday morning one of the staff decided to clean up outside our room banging around etc. £65 per night might initially sound good value but you can get better elsewhere and what price a good night's sleep!! Our comments to the staff produced no sympathetic response and certainly no reduction in the cost. We certainly won't use it again.
However, the breakfast was excellent, just a pity that the girl looking after the guests at breakfast couldn't pass on some of her customer care skills on to the receptionist!!
