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.
Great location, right near town but nice and quiet, convenient to everything.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
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.
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.

Great value in Lewes
One night stay while hiking the South Downs Way. Hotel is well located to the centre of town. Nice ales and a fine dinner. Adequate continental breakfast included. Very pleasant staff.
Great location for a visiting Lewes & walking.
Very helpful guy booked us in & explained everything, staff excellent all round.
I just feel Harvey’s let the staff & customers down with run down, poor rooms, dirty windows, poor pillows & tele. good value for sure, but greatly needs an upgrade.
Good location, clean and tidy and had water bottles, tea and coffee. Was comfortable and warm. Only bad thing is the walls are quite thin so we could hear other guests talking.
Our room was spacious and very clean, nice bathroom, towels and complimentary toiletries. Great coffee machine in the room. Free continental, buffet breakfast was a nice extra. In an excellent position, close to lots of other bars and restaurants. Good value for money and friendly staff.
