I’m a regular now, my preferred place to stay in Chichester, the room is lovely and the breakfast is lovely too
The staff were lovely, very welcoming and knowledgeable. The breakfast was great, scrumptious home cooked hot breakfast, or toast, cereal, pastries, fruit, yoghurt if preferred.
Clean big room, (number 4) with well stocked tea/coffee makings. Lots of warnings of the venue playing loud music till late but it didn’t bother me Ona Tuesday night in February. Friendly staff and tasty full English in the morning.
Staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Parking very easy. Despite the warnings that the bar would be noisy (especially over Halloween) Noise levels were fine, was not disturbed.

One night stay, fabulous!
Very friendly and helpful staff! Rooms are over a late night bar so they quite noisy, which is clearly pointed out, but if you don’t mind that it’s perfect!
Great one night stay was noisy but was expected great touch with the earplugs

As mentioned in the hotel details, there is live music until about 3.30. We didn’t sleep much and didn’t stay for breakfast. The room itself was nice, as was the bedding. I didn’t like downstairs.
This accommodation is in a great location, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was well equipped. Our only criticism was the noise, as be aware the area below is used for live bands and DJs and the music didn't stop until 3.00am - noting ear plugs were provided 😂

Main issue was noise, being above a nightclub that needs to be much clearer

Very good location and convenient parking. Very helpful staff. Good breakfast and comfortable room. A pity that there is no lift to go to the rooms. A rail both sides of the staircase would help elderly customers like us manage the steep stairs better.
The staff was very helpful in getting my suitcase up and down the long, steep flight of stairs. I was there early in the week when no music shows were on so noise was no issue. The breakfast was very good. The old fashioned, high-walled bathtub required some practice.
