Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We stayed last night and were warmly welcomed upon arrival. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and inviting, nestled in a charming old building. The service was exceptional. When we faced a personal issue at the last minute, the staff offered unwavering support, assistance, and generosity. Whenever we return to the area, this hotel will be our only choice. Thank you!”
“It was such a wonderful stay the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, and the room was so lovely it truly felt like a home away from home A special thanks for the 15% local booking discount it was such a thoughtful touch. I can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be back”
“Myself and three of my work colleagues booked into the rose and crown after our planned accomodation fell through. Even though it was our second choice, we soon learned on arrival it should’ve been our first. The service was fantastic, rooms spotless and overall a welcoming and cozy environment. If you’ve been to Wisbech you’ll know it’s not paradise on earth, but staying in a place like The Rose and Crown gets you a little bit closer.”
“We stayed at this hotel last summer and tbh, it was pretty bad. Having heard it had been recently taken over, we tried again. We paid £65 for a superior twin room for 1 night and was definitely worth the money. The whole hotel smells and looks so much cleaner, the room was very big with a large clean bathroom, good shower and they also provide mini shower gels and shampoo. Good service. Comfy bed. Smart tv. Good wifi. The hotel is obviously a working progress, but considering it was only taken over in January...a great improvement so far!”
“My wife and I enjoyed our stay so much in Dec that we decided to return to celebrate my birthday. The manager Khalid, and his team Mahmoud and Reece, are so friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and very comfortable, with so much charm being a listed building. We will be returning again, thank you for a lovely visit”
