"Great stay"

Came here for Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend. Check in and check out was quick and easy. And location is excellent. Only downside is there is no parking, however we found nearby parking for a reasonable price on parkopedia. We were given a gorgeous room. Really spacious and clean! The bed was really comfy so had a great nights sleep. Would definitely stay again.

"Comfortable hotel and agreeable restaurant"

I stay here from time to time, always on a Sunday night. The rooms are typically comfortable Premier Inn and the Thyme Restaurant is an agreeable place to dine. The staff, including Annie, Blake, Julie and Luke, are unfailingly attentive and enthusiastic. Chef James merits a special mention. When the restaurant is busy, any chef on his or her own would be fully stretched to keep the meals coming within a reasonable time and Chef James coped remarkably well on my most recent visit. However, it does seem at times that there are simply not enough staff, relative to the number of rooms and the number of guests who might dine in the restaurant, in addition to those who choose room service.

"Very well located and clean rooms"

My wife and I stayed for a Saturday night. Parking was a problem as had been found by other residents in the past. Once parked check in was simple as I had done this on line the day before. Rarely anyone manning the Reception area and on leaving you just put your door key in a box, Breakfast was okay although questioned as to whether we had actually paid for both breakfast or just one. Had the booking form in hand so this was quickly resolved and apology given. Room was large and shower was good. Bed slightly uncomfortable.

"overnight stay whilst visiting relatives"

A very pleasant stay at this Premier Inn. The place was clean, the staff friendly and the parking was no problem outside the hotel on a Sunday night. Faultless as far as we were concerned. Enjoyed the addition of bubble and squeak to the breakfast cooked buffet - something a bit different to the usual. The breakfast serving staff were particularly friendly and helpful.

"Lovely clean hotel, friendly staff, HORRENDOUS DINNER!!!!"

Stayed here for a week in February. We were a corporate booking that uses various hotels, including Premier Inn all over the country for many weeks of the year. The rooms were lovely and clean and the staff were friendly. Although it says there is a bar, it was a bit hit and miss. There’s basically a couple of fridges behind 3-4 tables. You have to try and get the attention of one of the reception staff - who are also serving food in the restaurant - to get you one, and it’s bottles only. You have to pay immediately as they do not allow anything to be added to the room. We found it easier and much quicker walking around the corner to the pub. On our first evening we booked a table for dinner in the restaurant. When we arrived the table hadn’t been made up, even though the restaurant was not busy. We waited about 20-25minutes and were seated. The guy from reception took our order and we waited for our food.... for over an hour. When it eventually came it was awful. I would go so far as to say this is the worst meal I have ever had in my entire life. The chicken wings starter wasn’t cooked, with blood vessels and cold wet skin. This was served with what was supposed to be a blue cheese dip. This dip had the consistency of milk. It was so watery and tasted like sour milk. NOT pleasant. The mains came and were just as bad. The Mediterranean platter was an unappetising plate of over cooked, dry lamb koftas accompanied by the same raw chicken wings. I should note that my colleague ordered this dish on recommendation from one of our party who had eaten this at a Premier Inn in Birmingham the week before. It was nothing like it. Absolutely disgusting. A couple of us ordered steak, rare. They were cooked to within an inch of their life and there was more fat on the plate than meat! A really bad cut. The chips were the best part of the meal. Pizzas that we ordered came, but with incorrect toppings. It was as if the chef had just chosen his own random selection. I could go on but I don’t really see there is much need. It was horrendous. The staff seemed embarrassed to serve the food to us, and even more embarrassed clearing away the less than half eaten plates. They asked a few times if the meal was okay but we didn’t see the point in complaining, there was nothing they could do to rectify the situation. By this time it was gone 10pm, we were all tired after a long journey and the seemingly oblivious chef was clearly incapable of cooking an edible meal so what difference would it make if we sent the food back? We waited at the table for the desserts that we had ordered. After 20minutes we gave up and left. I can’t imagine they’d have been any better than the rest of the meal... We did not eat dinner at the hotel for the rest of the week and cancelled this from our bookings. Breakfast was completely different. Good selection of cereals, pastries and full English if you preferred. It was lovely. All in all it was a nice hotel and there are other places that you can walk to in the town for meals but the management of the hotel seems a little lax. One person can’t be expected to check guests in, deal with enquiries, take food orders in the restaurant and staff a bar all at the same time. There is free car parking outside but only between 5pm-9am. Then it becomes a council run car park with a max stay of 2hrs

Hotel description Premier Inn Lewes Town Centre is in the middle of the tranquil town of Lewes, East Sussex. Surrounded by rolling countryside and white chalk cliffs, it's a picturesque hiking pit-stop. While you're in town, head to nearby Firle Beacon for a bird's eye view of the South Downs, explore the ruins of 1000 year old Lewes Castle or sample traditional cask ale at the historic Harvey's Brewery. Plus, if you visit around bonfire night, you're in for a treat - Lewes locals celebrate in style, and it's the biggest 5th November event in the world. When it's time for a bite to eat, take your pick from the delicious menu at our in-house Thyme restaurant and then drift off for a great night's sleep in your stylish bedroom with toasty duvet and ultra-comfy kingsize Hypnos bed.
