THE CROWN ROOMS, London

The hotel sits on a main road with a bus stop directly outside, giving direct access to the O2 Arena (bus 188, 5-15 minutes). It is 2 km from the O2, 5 km from Canary Wharf Underground Station, and a 10-12 minute walk from Trinity Laban. Greenwich Park is 12 minutes away on foot, and Cutty Sark and Greenwich Market are a short walk. The area has supermarkets and coffee shops, with a bus stop across the road for city-centre connections. The main road provides direct access for driving but has no on-site parking; the nearest paid car park is a 7-minute walk.

All rooms are en-suite with a shower and hairdryer. Rooms are decorated in a modern style; some are spacious while others are small. The property provides tea and coffee facilities with fresh milk from a shared hallway fridge. Rooms have a flat-screen TV with streaming services. A few rooms include a sofa bed; one known room has a king bed and a small double. Some rooms have opaque film on the window, limiting natural light. Many rooms are on the front of the building overlooking the main road, which can be noisy due to traffic. Rooms at the top floor may only be accessible via a narrow, winding staircase and can get very hot in summer, especially with no air conditioning and only a fan provided. The hotel has limited storage: most rooms provide only a few hooks or hangers with no wardrobe.

The on-site pub offers pizza and fries, craft beer, and other drinks, with a beer garden. There is a discount of 10% on food and drink for hotel guests. The pub hosts a pub quiz on Sundays and broadcasts live sport events. It is open until around 11 pm on weeknights and later on weekends. For breakfast, there is no service at the hotel; nearby cafés such as Black Eye and Avocado and Coffee are a few minutes' walk. The area also has fast-food outlets and a Turkish restaurant within walking distance.

Within the pub, guests can make use of free darts and tune into live sport events (broadcast). Live music and performances are held periodically. The hotel also mentions bicycle parking for those exploring the area. For outdoor leisure, water sports are available in the surroundings. Greenwich Park, 12 minutes away, offers a large green space.
