Delicious evening meal - can't wait to go back
Pros:

Honestly so nice. The restaurant was warm and comfortable on what was a wet cold and dark night. The fish and chips were the best I've had for a long time. Fresh fish - and piping hot. Dessert was the banoffee cheesecake - utterly delicious. Nadine and Jaz looked after us beautifully - thank you so much.

Good value and high standard as expected from Premier Inn
Pros:

Stopover en route from Southampton. No lift but given ground floor room on arrival due to problem with using stairs by the pleasant receptionist. Usual high standard with a spotless room and bathroom. Excellent breakfast! No complaints other than a hiccup with gaining the right access road off the dual carriageway due to my Sat Nav!

only one disappointment
Pros:

great location in town centre near Station aswell , room was excellent very quiet , everything you could want , but unfortunately the young lady on reception was positively hostile and very rude. shame as this is not common with premier inn usually I find the staff very nice. the one cleaner I spoke to was very nice so this was down to one unpleasant individual. overall the hotel is very good

Nice overnight stop
Pros:

Nice comfortable room, slept well and found the room clean and tidy.
The food deal.worked well and the evening meal was very nice indeed.
Breakfast was a good with a nice selection of foods to choose from. Did feel they could do with one more staff member as the drink and food wasn't refilled that quickly but overall it was fine
Would recommend and will use again

Faultless.
Pros:

Excellent stay, friendly, courteous and welcoming staff. Very clean, tidy and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast served by Rutva and Yazid who could not do enough for you and very friendly (whom Premier Inn should hold on to at all costs!).
Faultless experience.

The usual Premier Inn comfort and quiet hotel . No noise at all in the night despite being central to the town. Staff polite and efficient .We we're due to have breakfast but had to cancel due to council parking closing because of Bonfire night . Would visit again.

Nice location
Pros:

Overall our stay was positive. I was recommended this location by a friend who stays here regularly. The positives were staff within the hotel were friendly and polite. We had the unlimited full breakfast, which although is a little pricey was lovely and well cooked.
Downsides were that I found the mattress and pillows a little hard for my liking but I'm sure that is down to personal preference. The air con machine in the room was a little noisy as well, and without it on the room did heat up quickly. We couldn't get the tv in the room to sync to the WiFi despite it saying it was a smart tv, and we had trouble connecting our devices to the WiFi. (Not a big problem but just to make others aware).

Exceptional!!!!
Pros:

My husband and I have stayed in many Premier Inns around the country but found this one to be the exception to the usual. The staff were extremely efficient very friendly and helpful. Our orders in the Thyme restaurant for breakfast were taking at our table and so freshly cooked and delicious. We were served by Chris who asked if we had plans for the day. We said we planned to explore as it was our first visit to Lewes and it was our 57th wedding anniversary. To our surprise and delight we returned to our room after a lovely day to find a bottle of Prosecco, chocolates, two glasses and a card!!! Thank you Chris and Premier for this very unexpected but amazing and special gesture. It was a wonderful addition to our very enjoyable weekend in Lewes.
