This is the most awful hotel I've ever stayed in. Reeking of cigarette smoke, holes in bedroom and bathroom ceilings, corridors and fire exit cluttered with rubbish, staff smoking heavily in reception. What a depressing dump. And to make matters worse we were refused the breakfast we'd paid for as it finishes at 9.30 on Sundays (although we weren't told... More

6 of us stopped here overnight on the 21st April, we had read the reviews before we arrived but not before we had booked, so we were really dubious on our arrival,.. However, we we're greeted very welcomely and were shown our rooms (3),..now this inn is a 17th century building and yes it shows, but, for £37.50 each Inc... More

Please remember this is one of the oldest buildings in Lewes. It is not the Hilton Hotel although the breakfast was 5 star. My wife and I had a great stay. All the Staff I met were friendly, helpful and polite and that includes the Landlady. The main bar is a pub and is used by pub people. If you... More

Our welcome was very friendly and we were quickly shown our 2 rooms. The landlady explained how things worked-keys, fire exits etc. She even... More

I have edited this review due to a complaint received by the owner. However, I believe every word of it to be true and a true representation of my experience. I say again - Don’t book here, don’t stay here. It is absolutely awful. Please believe only the bad things you read. The place looks like it hasn’t been cleaned... More

Stayed in the crown as we had a evening wedding reception near by. I agree the hotel is in need of a refurbishment! The staff are friendly, the rooms where clean and the breakfast is good! If you want 5 star then this is not the place for you!

This really is a seedy place!.trust all the reviews and stay away! Lovely building but very run down.Breakfast was very good though
