YHA South Downs, hotel in Lewes

A refurbished Sussex farmhouse, a 5-minute walk from Southease Railway Station, YHA South Downs is set in extensive grounds and has an on-site restaurant and colourful, modern bedrooms.

A great atmosphere. I was welcomed as soon as I arrived although I was earlier than expected. The collective facilities were accessible, clean and well organised. The advice on walking footpaths in the area clear and encouraging. Breakfast just the thing to continue my journey north! Thank you.

White Horses by Everly Hotels Collection, hotel in Lewes

With a dramatic location on the cliffs and spectacular views out over the sea, the White Horse Hotel is located on the edge of the South Downs, just 5 km from Brighton.

The room was not bad, but basic. The bed was very comfortable. Based on the price, I was expecting something a bit more luxurious. The location is very good, next to the beach and very good connection with Brighton by bus.

    So much history.

    So much history. Loved the buildings, the motte and bailey castle, the priory remains in the park, the independent shops and cafés. Everything is within walking distance. Great to have a railway station and Brighton only 9 miles away. Superb views and walks over the South Downs.

    Interesting county town.

    Interesting county town. A few things to do inside there (eg castle and priory, Depot cinema by the station). Or excellent transport links to coast (Seaford preferable to Newhaven unless you want to catch the ferry to Dieppe) and Brighton of course. The self contained area of Downs to the east are my favourite. Quieter than the main range of the Downs to the south so you can just roam around and enjoy the peace. Or you can walk along the river as far as Newhaven but this can be quite muddy when it's been raining. Beautiful flat walk though if you go when it's dry, or don't mind mud!

    I lived near Lewes from 2000 to 2005 so know the area.

    I lived near Lewes from 2000 to 2005 so know the area. Am fond of the Riverside area with its eating places, also the High Street. Perhaps not a huge amount going on, and perhaps the "Information Centre" could be done up/revamped a little more, but the town is in an excellent central location for a holiday spent exploring locally.

    Lewis is an old town full of interesting history, lots of old buildings and of course the castle that's always worth the walk up the hill, don't worry if you're not too fit as you can get a local bus to the top of the hill. Lots of wonderful pubs and cafes in the town centre along with some nice restaurants. The town is surrounded by stunning scenery all around.

    I stay in Lewes frequently for visits to Glyndebourne.

    I stay in Lewes frequently for visits to Glyndebourne. The local taxi firm (GMC Taxis) are very good and are prompt when picking up at the arranged time both to get to Glyndebourne and to return. The town itself has much to offer with interesting shops and historic places including the Castle. Hotel accommodation is very limited since the closure of The Shelleys and Pelham House. Parking is expensive

    Lovely location and very stylish quirky ground floor layout. Our warm and well appointed room with 'top end' shower and comfy bed, was a delight. Our dinner and breakfast were amazing! The intriguing menus were an adventure! Chrisie and her friendly staff were very attentive and helpful, without being over fussy. We had a lovely evening in the restaurant, with fellow diners who were clearly enjoying the ambiance as much as we were x

    I have stayed here before. Its a real old coaching inn displaying original architectural features, with characterful rooms in the main building. (See the information about it's history.) The staff are friendly and helpful. Splendid location with its own town centre parking. It has a relaxed feel, unlike the glitz of modern chain hotels. Swimming pool open all day from early.

    The location is great, near the bridge in Lewes. Parking is easy in Friars Walk: it's a 2 hr max (Ringo app), but free from 5pm to 9am. The flat is clean and comfy, and our son was fine on the sofa bed. Great brunch spot opposite, Fuego Lounge (only opens at 9am, but Bill's opens at 8am just over the bridge).

    I stopped over very briefly between two shifts I was working in Lewes. I had a disturbed night of sleep due to snoring (I was in a dorm room), but that is hardly the fault of YHA. The bathroom facilities were excellent, and I enjoyed a hot shower with good water pressure, which was much appreciated.

    This hotel was in a fantastic location for us being on the main A27 and our son is at Brighton University. Ideal to go into Brighton, Lewes and Brighton Marina. Nice size room with comfy beds. Shame the pub is not open at the moment as this would have been even better.

    The apartment was 5 minutes walk from the railway station right in the centre of Lewes. A bus stop and supermarket were about 400 m away. There was an excellent restaurant just across the road. The location would be hard to beat.

    For the price you can’t beat the location and amenities. Bread, crumpets, butter/jam, milk and cereal provided were fantastic and the room is bright and clean and has everything needed for a few days around Lewes.
