The Rose and Crown Hotel

Property is ancient and poorly maintained throughout. Crime ridden area and I could not leave the safety of the hotel’s security and cctv; there is nothing “quaint village” about it. Don’t let Wikipedia fool you this is no Market town. Its hell. The £75 rooms were sold out and the only two rooms left were the upgraded “superior” rooms at £120 each. One of the rooms smelt of mould so bad it was literally a health issue to stay there. Luckily they refunded the money for one of the rooms and my friend drive another 30 miles to another hotel! I was informed by staff the property was used as a homeless shelter during the pandemic in 2020 and, although nobel, it smelled like it. You just feel gross all over having stayed there and believe me it was out of necessity (last room in all of east anglia and it was late at night). I slept fully clothed lying there waiting for daylight.

Lovely old hotel. Day-time service good. Evening service poor and unhelpful. Continental Breakfast only, with limited options.

The property was a listed Georgian property (1601), which was a fantastic, quirky building, steeped in history and could have been the most amazing hotel. Sadly it was not! The bedroom walls needed painting, there were cobwebs all over the place, the carpet needed vacuuming, the curtains were stained and there were leaks in the ceiling. There was a pool of water on the floor of the bathroom coming from a leak in the ceiling. We only had one cup provided for a cup of tea and only two sachets of milk, which meant that we could only have one drink between two of us. On a more positive note the bedding was clean and the receptionist was professional and friendly. I feel very disappointed that I paid so much money for such an unpleasant experience. It is such a shame.

Hotel Was fine, cleanliness very poor rooms poorly decorated one coat of paint , parts not painted breakfast poor no English breakfast, had continental BUT cereals looked stale no fruite to go with yoghurt only dusty apples so se had toast, manger was always moaning about staff and violence and crime in Wisbech center we don't see any, he was telling the few guests he had the same story Hotel needs revamp and new Manager his heart is not in the job , kept blaming staff for every thing in stead of training property I stay will stay again if up graded and new management.

Reception staff were excellent as were the night staff. The hotel is amazing, historic beauty. The hotel rooms could be cleaner, but the bedding was fresh and clean as were the towels. All in all it was a great stay in a town that has very little to offer. Great location central for what I needed. Hopefully this last hotel in Wisbech will remain a hotel, so many historic buildings in the area have already gone and all its doing is adding final insult to an already failing market town.

Clean tidy overall very nice hotel

The whole hotel was a little grubby. Dirty encrusted carpet around the bed, the paint work was slightly shabby and gaining entry after 10pm was a chore. No hand soap in the bathroom which itself was damp and grubby. In short the whole place needs a spruce up and dragging in the 20th century.

Made a genuine mistake and booked the rose and crown in the wrong area , yes it was my fault but take a booking fee Not the whole cost .

Lovely hotel situated in the centre with free parking too
