The Crown Hotel Bawtry-Doncaster

Situated in a nice town with good facilities. Disappointed with a few things. Parking was near impossible, there were more spaces available but because of how tight the car park is, and how other people had parked, it was impossible to access the spare spaces. No water in the rooms which I find poor when you consider the price we paid for a Thursday night - almost £200 for the night. The bathroom was very nice and had a great waterfall shower however we couldn’t get any hot water from the shower - it was warm at best. The room however was nice & it was clean.

Room was good massive shower only disappointment was the car park,paid for 2 nights only to find you are in the wrong car park got £25 fine staff didn't want to know spoilt what was a great break will look for other accommodation next time.

I’ve stayed here before and will definitely stay again but only because it is convenient. The room was far too hot, and I remember it being hot when I stayed before. It does make for an uncomfortable nights sleep. There were some idiots banging doors and shouting down the corridor at 3am, not the hotels fault but it did frustrate an already uncomfortable night. The staff were not particularly welcoming. I get like a disturbed their conversation when I checked in rather than feeling welcomed. And when I was given the key I was just pointed “Your room is that way” and that was my only direction. Bar service was slow but reasonably priced. Parking is easy, you just tap in your reg and it’s £6 for 24 hours.

Good location within the town. Easy parking at a reasonable price. Helpful and friendly reception staff. The only reason we scored overall 4 stars rather than 5 was because we gave up waiting to be served at the bar as there was only one bartender.

Lovely place, very nice spacious room, amazing breakfast, cheap 24hr parking. Will definitely recommend and return in the future.

Stayed for a wedding. Lovely sized bathroom. A little dated corridors to the rooms Was very noisy until 3am though. Wedding finished at 1. Then for next two hours the noise from a neighbouring property was very loud. Window was open due to how warm it was. Needed a dan in room in our opinion. Good sized tv

Loved where the hotel is situated we enjoyed our stay because of the lovely area, great pubs and restaurants. The hotel itself, the bedrooms need a revamp. The bedroom ceiling had a very large patch on it where there had been a repair, very dated. I was surprised we had to pay for parking as the hotel has its own parking area.Considering where the hotel is situated we thought it would be more plush.

Always a great stay at The Crown. Perfectly located in the centre of town. Shops, restaurants and bars all in walking distance. Great facilities within the hotel. Rooms are spacious. Staff p professional and friendly. Car parking directly outside of the property, pay and display, and limited parking behind the property £6.50.

Good location with easy access parking (fee to pay) in a vibrant market place. Hotel bedrooms tired but clean. Wedding on that day/night which made it very busy and noisy.

1st night Ground floor opposite kitchens. Extractor fans very noisy, although we were assured that they were stopped at 9.00. However we were not advised that they restarted at 6.30am. Bed quilt smelled of cooked food presumably from the kitchen. Room was generally tired and the bathroom was far too small and in need of refurbishment. No space to put anything except for one unsecured shelf behind the toilet. Sitting properly on the toilet was impossible and one had to sit at an angle. After complaining, we were relocated to room 19, a better room but unfortunately a lot of road noise - no apology or assistance provided by staff to move. The toilet in Room 19 was abnormally low making it difficult to sit and get up from without a struggle. The seat didn’t match the size of the toilet. The rainshower was a joke as the water jets sprayed at every conceivable angle instead of straight down and no separate hand shower provided. The pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable and on returning in the evening, the quilt was askew and the pillows just thrown loosely into position. No care or attention had been paid to refresh the room. On our last night we stayed in Leonardo’s hotel at EM airport which was considerably cheaper but was was far better, quality of furnishings, cleanliness, bedding were first class. At the Crown parking facilities down to the customer to sort out and an unnecessary problem. Surely you can improve the system for hotel guests with a parking permit.

Old and run down. Pillows were ripped bed uncomfortable. Was only there for one night will never go again

We really enjoyed our stay the hotel was very clean but felt to bedroom was very dated

I stay here quite regularly due to work commitments. I find the whole place to be warm and inviting, its always clean and comfortable. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. Fully recommend.

Really poor standard generally. Hotel room was dirty and worn. No aircon working, noise from room above, dirty bathroom, poor coffee/tea facilities. Shower terribke and diffucult to use given the worn controls and the tray didnt drain whilst using. Staff pleasant enough, food very average.

The room was comfy , shower head needed descaling of limescale.

Hi - clean / good service/ good location/ functional

Lumpy pillows , no aircon , unclean bathroom ,not a 4star hotel

Booked 8 bedrooms to stay at Christmas for a works Christmas party, every single room was dirty! The executive rooms are so bad, it stinks of chip fat in the corridor. The wine at the Christmas party was bad no one could drink it, everyone was complaining. The food was very average for £60 per head. It’s a shame as the crown used to be a nice hotel. It’s in desperate need of a renovation

Lovely hotel and nicely decorated. Only thing lacking was a fan as it was so hot and windows were open to full capacity.

Staff p professional and friendly. Car parking directly outside of the property, pay and display, and limited parking behind the property £6.50.

Room was very dated but clean and enough space. No soundproofing so was very noisy from outside and the neighbouring rooms. Loud music from next room.

The room was nice and big but quite warm with no air conditioning. I was offered a fan but I am a light sleeper and we did have the windows open but it was quite noisy early morning. Having said that it would not put me off staying again in the same hotel. The hotel is perfectly positioned between Retford and Doncaster ideal for visiting family and friends.

Updated rooms and staff friendly as ever. Dog friendly.

Staff went above & beyond, I would definately recommend.

Never once were we did the words "welcome to the hotel" or "have a nice stay" were spoken at reception or written in any messages. All we recieveed was a message listing the additional charges (car parking, early or late check in chareges) the day before our trip & at the reception I was simply told to put my personal details on the booking receipt & that if we wanted breafast it would be another additional charge & to go to the restaurant in the morning. The hotels facilities were never described to us either. The room was clearly booked for two adults, but once in the room it had only been set up for a single occupancy (towels, milk for drinks etc) The hotel & the room we had were fine & of a high standard. But, the customer service we recived was extremely poor. Bawtry is a great little town with lots of bars restaurants etc. We live very closeby & were at a family wedding. We decided to stay here rather than relying in taxis. It wont happen again.

The hotel was lovely and so were the staff

Disappointed with the room for the money l had paid. Getting out of bed in the morning I felt as if I had been in a rugby scrum. Breakfast was very nice but could have done with being a bit warmer. The hotel needs a bit of tlc in places.

It was a very noisy hotel, breakfast was stale weetabix and a poor cooked breakfast. I would not recommend this hotel

Amazing place to stay very friendly staff and the food was delicious

Booked 8 bedrooms to stay at Christmas for a works Christmas party, every single room was dirty! The executive rooms are so bad, it stinks of chip fat in the corridor. The wine at the Christmas party was bad no one could drink it, everyone was complaining. The food was very average for £60 per head. It’s a shame as the crown used to be a nice hotel.

Nice place friendly staff good food and atmosphere

No heating in the room, no hot water in the shower and no drinking water in the room. Staff very friendly but very poor facilities. To cap it off, Bawtry including the hotel restaurant don’t serve food after 9pm in week days.
