No frills but great value
Rooms are above a busy, pub but once the pub closes it’s a very quiet location. Comfortable clean room. Friendly staff. Just a short stroll to the centre of town.

Convenient & reasonable Lewes hotel
Very convenient place to stay should you need to stay over for a visit to Glyndebourne, which is only about 3 miles by road around the hill. I noticed at least 2 other couples did the same. Didn't get to try the food as the chef was away the evening we arrived, but the Harvey's beer was excellent. Only slight niggle was some missing/malfunctioning lightbulbs on the main bedroom light, otherwise the room & ensuite were fine.

Reception staff member was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are a bit dated. The shower had some mold. Within walking distance to many shops and dining options. Fairly priced.

Lovely rooms. Small points I had to clean out the coffee maker. A wardrobe would be better than a hanging rail.

Really nice stay. It was a bit cold but the weather was cold for the time of year. A wardrobe would be better than the hanger rail.

Stayed for one night to use as a base to go to football at Brighton. Ten minute walk to the railway station and then a short journey to Falmer which is right next to the stadium

Good value for money. Room was small but clean with all amenities. Pub noise from outside drinkers but not late and not rowdy. Easy parking and close to town centre.
