The Rose and Crown Hotel

You got what you paid for. It was cheap and a bed to lie on. Work is being done and dust in the bedrooms. Toilet, sink and shower looked fairly new but round edge of lino floor was discoloured. Bits all over bedroom carpet. T.V not working. Lock on bedroom door very difficult to close. No food being available.

I arrived Monday and left Tuesday,as arranged, the room was ok for the price however there was a stale smell like old books in the room. The bar and restaurant wasn't open and as I arranged to meet a special guest this was inconvenient.

To be fair it was a cheap stay but the property is very old and unloved. Clearly whoever owns it had no intention of doing any renovation or long term plans. It’s just a lumpy bed to sleep on for a few hours. Nice general manager who is clearly doing what he can. The restaurant and bars are all closed down

Although several reviews were bad we thought we would still stay. On arrival we were met by manager who explained that there was no bar of food available in the Hotel which we already new. The room was spacious and clean which everything we required beds, coffee and tele. It was well heated. The bathroom was very large by hotel standards and included a full size bath. Again nothing bad to say. If you looking for a comfortable clean stay this could be your place. As I said not food available but there was a Wetherspoons about 6 minute walk away and and 50 yards away is "Pizza Crazy", which not only does pizzas but burgers, chips, chicken dippers and more at really good prices. Highly recomment.

The manager and staff were friendly, but it is a real shame that this hotel, with such great potential, is now used as a place for asylum seekers and owned by Egyptians. Because of this, we were told, there is no bar or breakfast available (as there used to be before) and the hotel just seems like it is run down and unloved now. It could be so great.

This hotel is amazing. I booked 4 rooms for a touring band. I was slightly worried about some of the negative reviews, but the place was great. It does need some attention, but it's an historic building - 400 years old! The stairs are crazy, like something from a funhouse! The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Mario, the manager is awesome. Friendly, chatty and accommodating. There's no bar and no food, but it's in the centre of Wisbech, and there are plenty of food and drinks options in town. We took a band picture with Mario, but for some reason I can't upload it here.

400 year old building the room was very nice and clean and the staff was very helpful. The floors and stairs are a bit noisy (creaky) but it’s obviously going to be given the age of the building it’s quite stunning also has a nice courtyard and a safe carpark round the back. Overall fantastic weekend stay wouldn’t mind doing it again

Did the job great clean room totally ok , good car park .just a lovely old building

Parking was a bit of a challenge to locate myself, the gentleman on reception was very helpful, kind and friendly and directed me to the parking. Room was pleasant, the decor is outdated but there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s nice to be in a building that has lots of history to it. It’s not the cleanest or well-maintained hotel, but considering the price I paid, no complaints really. It was a very comfy bed, roof over my head and hot water - at the end of the day it’s all I needed and the staff were pleasant.

Easy parking, staff very helpful. The room was spacious and was well presented. Take into consideration the very reasonable cost of your stay before booking.

Sheet did not fit the bed, pillows stained snd smelled sweaty and old. Description stated queen bed, it was two singles pushed together and of different heights and firmness. Desvription stated an Iron was available, none so asked at reception none available even though ironing board in room. Room dirty with debris on floor. Windows dirty and didnt close properley, rattled and noise came in from outside. Only a small amount of toilet paper on roll, had to ask at reception for amother roll. Very poor stay. Nousy

It is a very old building steeped in history and has fantastic quirky areas for sitting. The staff are great and friendly. It really needs to be used to its full potential. Pur stay was comfortable and the rooms were clean. Some maintainance work is being carried out but didn't affect our stay.

Very good helpful service. Professional team and squicky clean rooms showers bathrooms. It's now more than 16 weeks stayed here 2 nights a week for work. Only went from good to better. Perfect rooms for couple stays 315/308

I stayed a night at Rose and Crown, the room was the most affordable in the area and to my suprise its one of the most beautiful room i ever stayed at. It was perfectly clean, quiet and super unique as its a 400 year old building.

Charming old building. Nothing blocking the window in bathroom. Realised in time to see some weirdo trying to film on phone across the road. (Staff denied was possible till I insisted they come to room and they put a dirty towel up.) The room was very dirty. Slept on top Of covers and luckily I carry my own pillow.

Area seems unsafe, hotel rooms not cleaned, don't even think the bedding had been changed, rubbish on floors, half used toiletries, no toilet rolls, bins not emptied

Property was older then descibed, rooms looked nothing like advertised pictures. Was a disgraceful unclean hotel all over.

The room was filthy. My partner and I returned the keys and went somewhere else. Do not be deceived by the pictures. It was a non-refundable booking, but I paid for insurance. The receptionist said was two star, but there is no excuse for a filthy bathroom and filthy window sills. We did not stay because we suspected we would be eaten alive by all manner of bugs overnight. Avoid this place, it’s shocking.

Staff are superb and now being helped by some refurbishment works, this is a grade II listed building so it's limited in what can be done cost effectively but the the room was clean, functional and suited my needs.

This hotel is in my opinion not fit to sleep in. The carpet and surfaces were dirty, and the mattress was covered in stains. We tried another room which turned out to be the same. So we decided not to stay and left.

This trip was purely to make sure my partner could attend a hospital appointment in the town, as we live 1.5 hours drive away with no traffic delays. The hotel is 10 minutes walk from the hospital. Very handy, and that is really as good a comment as i can make. The room was not the one shown in the photos. The bed was fine and the towels provisioned also good. But the room was not so much "Shabby chic" as simply Shabby. Odd mismatched pieces of furniture, in poor to worse condition. The room was large but that meant the wall mounted TV being small, was barely visible from the bed it pointed at. There was a further sitting/dressing room between the bedroom and the bathroom. The bathroom was in pretty good condition, the bath big and deep and the shower was good with a sunflower head. Only 1 window out of 3 opened (limited for saftey) out of 3, but it was the one beside the head of the bed which means sleeping in a draught, or no with ventilation. The big niggle for me was after arriving and at check-in, I was told "you know we don't have food or drink here, so nothing to eat or drink or breakfast in this hotel?". It was said as though I should have known already. I had at least expected a bar where the hotel would clearly earn some extra much needed income. But "No". I went out and found the only nearby shop selling off licence. Gave them my money, and the Greek kebab stand nearby. Wisbech, like its Rose & Crown, has seen better days & doesn't seem to want to see them again

The room was clean and quite for a 2 star hotel it was good I slept well and the bathroom was specious

The hotel was a bit dated but the rooms had plenty of space and nice and clean.

Nice spacious room large bathroom. Facilities ok. Shower tap was difficult to operate. Wi fi didy work in our room. Loud noise outside room for short while.

Room and bathroom needed some updating. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Brilliant customer service

Extremely unprofessional service. I was disturbed multiple times during my stay and treated disrespectfully when raising concerns. Completely unacceptable behaviour!!!

Very good greeting, very polite

Very helpful staff but the hotel is very tired and need of full refurbisment

The manager, and the staff namely Carissa, Rita, Ahmed and Martin; we’re very attentive and so friendly. I could see they worked hard to keep up appearances. Only one issue I had was when I was out the night before the day I left, code for door was changed and I was stuck, till management let me in. Apart from that a pleasant stay and would recommend to friends and colleagues.

The guy on the reception was excellent but that is all i can say was good about the stay

Convenient for town centre

Good stay again cheap as chips into Peterborough in 20 minutes as long as you wake up early!

Good value for money, helpful staff, good location,

The Rose and Crown is lovely old town house in the centre of Wisbeach. Because of its age it is little ropey but it is full of character. Mario, the Italian manager is the star of the show. He’s very helpful and friendly and always has time to talk. In addition, the price was very competitive. Overall, very good.

Good location. In center. Needs refurbishing. Couldn't connect to Internet. Needs better management of the hotel.

Very good value single room. I booked a night to break a long journey and Wisbech and the Rose & Crown suited my needs perfectly.

Walkable

Great little place , will be back , nice village for wandering around.

Quite and clean for it's age 400 yrs. Might do with meals and drinks

I love this hotel… but the lack of food and drink meant I had to keep leaving room to get things, and there was no fridge so couldn’t keep drinks cool etc
