Don't go there

Having been informed by Hotels.com of the following "Don’t worry, we haven’t taken any payment as you’ll pay the hotel directly in their local currency, along with any additional charges and fees incurred during your stay" the Shelleys Hotel attempted unsuccessfully to debit into my credit card one day before I arrived .Then, they called me to ask for card number, pin etc to pay oer the phone. I declined, stating that I would pay during my stay (as stated above by Hotels.com). Having booked breakfast with them on arrival in the afternoon, they had no record of this in the following morning. Poor service. There was no heating in the hotel (outside temperatures in the morning being only 7C). Complained at the time on each occasion. Will never go there again.

Disappointed

We were so disappointed with our stay, the property should not be open during the COVID pandemic. We stayed for 2 nights, no maid service so clean your own room etc. The waiter in the restaurant which was open the first night was friendly and attentive and the meal was ok. The restaurant was closed on the second night. No indication on the website that service is restricted. A lovely property which unfortunately is run down and urgently in need of some TLC.

A little worn out, needs maintenance

Nice hotel in Lewes with really comfortable beds Unfortunately the toilet wouldn’t flush in our room and when we informed reception the response was initially ‘what do you want me to do about it’ - not in a rude manner, more from inexperience I think. The following morning at check out, with a different receptionist, they apologised profusely and said it would be repaired - but obviously that was no benefit to us.
