The Crown in Barking and Dagenham

We go regularly and really love it - can't comment on the hostel, but the pub is perfect for a chill pint and a fab pub quiz on Sundays. Pub food is very good, great burgers!

There is no problem for everything basically. You will get same as you pay. No expectation. I was looking for an accommodation as cheap as possible so it was perfect for me. I could sleep and pretty safe.

It's a very loving and healthy place to stay.

This was my first hostel experience and it would have been fine, except that on my last day I got woken up by bedbug bites. I suffered bed bug allergies all over my body the rest of my vacation which was very inconvinient. Also, the bathrooms stink. Plus side though was the staff and location. Overall nope, I won't be booking there again.

Went in for a drink and a little bit of peace and that’s exactly what I’ve got :)

We found bedbugs in their beds, the main reason for canceling the reservation and leaving the place, the hallways and bathrooms were unkempt, we had reserved a room with three beds but when we arrived, one bed was already occupied. Although the staff provided good treatment, they refunded the reservation and you can get to the hotel by public transportation, I would only recommend improving the hygiene of the rooms and providing maintenance.

simply horrendous Bathrooms more unpleasant than public ones bed bugs Dirty carpets Dirty smell

absolutely bad i can’t use hot water

I loved The Crown. The staff is really friendly, the rooms, although small and optimized, are well appointed. Very clean, both the room and the bathroom! The pub's food and beers are a real comfort! I stayed with them twice, in the women's room.

It is very close to the embassy. It is convenient to apply for a US visa. The service is also very good. However, the water in the public bathroom does not flow all the time, which is not convenient.

Made a booking at Battersea crown Was checked in greeted by Scott great customer service really polite informed me all about hostel facilities Beds were comfortable well spaced out rooms Mod cons in rooms usb ports in beds Two ports to plugs To charge lots of devices Great showers good pressure warm Professional staff member Watson helped to check me out gave me some insight on things to see in city and nearest stations and Directions He Went above on beyond to help me and other guests Would recommend visiting this crew

Excellent friendly local pub with great selection of beer and wines, highly recommended

Avoid at all cost! Bed bugs everywhere!!!! Slept for a couple hours got bitten multiple times, terrible place to sleep!

Lovely staff, rooms are clean but can get a bit hot because there are restrictors on the windows.

The bar was great and the staff very friendly and helpful ! The rooms were clean too and it was rather quiet. Loved it. Would come back. :)

Really good service and amazingly nice staff. great atmosphere in the pub to chill or have a drink at any hour of the day. The rooms are what you'd expect from a hostel though the bathrooms could be a bit cleaner. Good location within a pretty nice neighborhood.

A normal hostel experience. Room and Bed as expected, 3 above each other without curtains. The bathrooms as expected of need of improvement. The personal was kind and helpful. The take care. Not the worst hostel experience so far.

Extremely friendly staff, comfortable restaurant room, they let you eat your food you bring with you there. Sleeping rooms can get very hot though and shovers are a bit sudpicious.. But very cheap for location which is quite nice.

It is not clean and the bathroom smells bad. I vomited and I contacted the employee and I did not benefit from it. The room is very bad. I do not advise anyone to try it. I canceled the reservation and they did not give me any money. It incurred additional costs and I booked another hotel at my expense for fear of diseases due to the severity of the lack of cleanliness.

DONT STAY HERE!!! ITS HORRIBLE AND NOT CLEAN AND SCAMMERS !!!! Hello I arrived to the hostel and the hostel was not clean at all, the beds have stinky smell and the bathrooms have pees on the floor with a smell that you can resist even I had to throw up after using them I stayed outside for long time just to not stayed the nights in But I’m tired so I had to go to the bed and I put my jacket under my head to sleep and not smell the stinky sheets When I reached out for the front desk he told that we can do full refund when my manager comes in the morning so I waited the manger and he told me that he can’t do that because my reservation is non-refundable I mean what??! Its not my issues that you Dont have clean place so he told me that I need to wait another manager that will come at 3:00pm

Visited more for the fact of the pub/bar. Clean, friendly bar with good service.

The lobby is actually very cute and comfortable to sit in, but the rest is terrible. Everything wasn't particularly clean and my socket by the bed didn't even work and made a strange sound all night long. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. But there were also those who didn't understand the seriousness. I then checked out early and no one cared.

Very clean easy to check in and out!good location and friendly stuff working in there!

I also stayed at other PubLove, but this was the best.

really great value for money, basic, but for a place to sleep and shower for a night it met my needs!

Ideal for Clapham Grand gigs and visits to Battersea Power Station.

Great place to stay and really friendly staff.

First time in a hostel that the manager comes at 9:30am to wake everybody up and tell you, cheout is at 10.. Ridiculously 30-04-24

Ended up staying here as an emergency. It’s a decent hostel in a good location with a pub downstairs and secure storage facilities. It did get a bit noisy while the football was on and in the night but nothing unusual for this type of hostel. Rooms are clean, comfortable and airy. Shower and toilet areas are reasonably clean. On the whole a good place to stay.

Very nice I recommend it for budget tourism and official work. They very nice place to sit and work. Other their cafe is also good you can watch games on large TV.

LOVE this place. For a hostel it's very basic, but the staff are amazing. Special thanks and shoutout to Joe who helped me with my bags when I needed to put them in storage. He's an absolute gem! All in all I felt very at home, everyone working there new you. If you're looking for good priced accommodation and amazing staff, look no further!

Was here for 5 days, service was great; whenever we’d need something we could always ask the hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone passing through. The British Breakfast here is a-ma-zing

nice pub on the main road, friendly chap behind the bar

Lead by the manager and his team. The atmosphere was great whilst watching the Football with friends and my children. I’m going to need to go back as the service was very enthusiastic and the food was very delicious.

I took my son to watch the footie that they had on. Great atmosphere with a fantastic meal deal, burger and fries for £7:50! My son demolished it and he’s one fussy eater. Would definitely recommend this place as the service was top notch. ☺️

Had a fantastic afternoon with delicious food and a lively atmosphere while enjoying the football match. Great prices and service, will definitely be back!!!

Had a brilliant time here with our football club Junction Elite. Can’t wait to come back again!!

Great pub, lovely atmosphere and value for money. The food was absolutely Devine. I will definitely be coming back.

Lovely place, nice stuff and good food

Reservation was being processed via the app...I had just arrived at the location, I just provided my document and was absurdly unwelcome by the owner. Reason: zero. I could resolve the process without any problems....but, she simply said that the problem was mine and thus ended the service. . Location details: there is no security, there is a lot of noise and it is far from everything.

We stayed 2 nights in this hostel. Food was amazing and hostel staff very sweet. Towels not included. The mattresses were very uncomfortable and the showers/ toilets disgusting. There were only 4 showers and 4 toilets for everyone. They are only cleaned once in the morning.

Llevo tiempo hospedandome en esta cadena de hostel, una de las peores estáncias. Me cambio de cama dos veces ,la habitación está llena de bichitos del cual termine con el cuerpo lleno de picaduras,reclamé incluso con la mascota en un papel para enseñársela, y me di cuenta que esa habitación en concreto tenía como incidencia pero metían gente, también recomendó que no pierdan de vista sus pertenencias ya que me robaron máquina de afeitar, perfume, espuma, reclamé ,ni caso,el miercole según el manager fumigaron la habitación ,pero sería con insecticida normal, el jueves fue el unico día que no picaron hasta que fue madrugada , que me picaron hasta que se llenaron, nuevamente mate unas 6 y dos se las enseñe al persona. Muy buen trato del chico moreno que está por las noches.

Honestly I’ve had the best experience at the crown, the staff were absolutely incredible including a specific member called lasharna she was soo polite and helpful and surely contributed to making my stay wonderful as it was. I will most definitely be coming back.

Empty pub and still had to wait 15 minutes because staff ignores your presence. Almos empty hostel and still gives you a room in the top floor, where there is only 1 person in the room, somehow the room smells bad, with 3 level bunk beds and STILL gives you a top bed.

Just been in for few drinks , its nice and i felt in a friendly atmosphere
