The hotel was easily found, and being in the centre of the town any shops needed were very close. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and well presented, it was of a good size. The evening meal menu was of fairly standard pub fare which suited us well, and was very well prepared from wood quality components. Breakfast was also very good. The hotel had a busy bar which appeared to be popular with the locals. The rooms were well away from the bar so were very quiet.

We chose this hotel partly because one of us has limited mobility and it offered car parking. However, we never saw a free space there and those cars that were parked there were often blocked in by others parked behind them so it was perhaps as at we were unable to get in there. Fortunately there is a large free car park about four minutes walk away. We were given only one key which had to be inserted into a slot in the room to allow lights to be tuned on. This meant that If one of us wanted to leave the hotel we had to ask a member of staff to unlock the door from the bar to the residential area.

Food was very good ,staff were very friendly and helpful and cheerful good choice of breakfast we had an evening meal with family and friends all had various meals and all said the same meal was very good

The days we were there it was very hot around 32 degrees we got back to our room at night it was stifling heat we had left curtains down and window slightly down to try and keep it cool, unfortunately with the window partly open at night the noise from refrigeration plant at Iceland shop next door was really loud which made it hard to sleep. The hotel kitchen extractor fans switched off at 9-30 pm so it wasn’t coming from there. Would not stop there again because of this not the hotels fault .

This hotel has improved year on year. A group of us come and stay for the Love Supreme Festival in Glynde. This year, I had a twin room - one of the beds was super comfortable. The other bed could do with a new mattress as it was a bit soft but overall good for a few days. The twin room we had included a large bathroom with disabled access shower. We didn't need it but it would be great for someone who needs it.

Perhaps you could check the mattress to see if it needs replacing. It wasn't dreadful but it was much softer than the other bed but honestly hard to fault the Crown!

I was booked in for B & B , my friend just the room. We have stayed before because it's convenient for Eastbourne/coastal visits. Lovely breakfast and a clean comfortable room.

I had 3 fire doors next to my room and unfortunately an inconsiderate guest came in late and left very early and didn't think to 'soft' close those doors but that is not the hotel's fault .

I stay in this hotel whenever I am down near this way for work, it's convenient in terms of check-in & out times as well as having the side entrance for night-time. It's also convenient regarding the location.

There is no sound protection once in your room, the doors shut very heavily causing disturbance throughout the night with other guests entering & leaving their rooms.

Central location. Close to our destination for the following day. Food available which was an excellent quality and value.

Initially concerned about lack of available parking but local recommended free, public, camera surveillance place adjacent to police station. This was a great relief as we were en route to France with a fully loaded car and roof pod.

The room was clean but would benefit from a deep clean. The beds were comfortable and it was all good. There was a good selection for breakfast. It’s cheaper if you book the night before, although, on our second night we were charged the extra. I told them to put the overcharge in their charity box.

It could have been deep cleaned e.g, net curtains.

Comfortable room and good breakfast and evening meals, staff pleasant and friendly. Close to the shops and transport to the coast.

No fault of the hotel, but other guests going in and out of rooms late at night kept banging doors waking me up

Breakfast - freshly cooked to order. Good selection of items to choose from. 2 restaurant areas - 1 for general public & 1 for hotel guests Friendly & helpful staff

In our room, a single bed would have helped more than the double sofa bed, which took up so much room but appreciate some guests need the extra bed space.

Hotel was right in middle of town so good location. Shops, supermarkets and leisure centre all virtually on the doorstep. Hotel was clean and tidy, room was spacious, breakfast was lovely, never had meals so cannot say. Staff was cheery and very helpful, went above and beyond to help you. Thank you Fraser and Jolly. A big 10 stars from us. We will be back next time we are in area again.

There was nothing we can say.
