This is a really lovely old hotel dating way back. The front entrance is impressive, with black and white tiling and a grand curving staircase. The lift is a quaint little feature, being the original installation, and you have to shut the metal gate inside it before it will function. Unluckily for the staff, if someone forgets to do this,...

This hotel, though conveniently located to the Chichester Festival Theatre, is perhaps not the best choice. My room was large, but shabby. Service in the hotel restaurant was very slow and the food was not even warm by the time it was delivered. All in all, overpriced for what you get.

After reading the rather mixed reviews already posted on Trip Advisor I hope I can help with my factual report. The hotel is in a wonderful building right in the centre of Chichester within walking distance of all the shops, the cathedral and even the theatre. The building is lovely and the modern decor might not be to everyone's taste... More

This hotel was really lovely. Well decorated and really nice atmosphere. We got bought a night's stay by our friends for our 2nd anniversary. The room was clean and comfortable and had all the things you would like (good TV and shower etc). We were in room 16 which was upstairs in a quite little corridor and it was really... More

First impressions of the hotel were good. Managed to park easily, the receptionist was friendly. Central location for town. The room was on the second floor, nicely decorated and a large bed. the downside of the room was the single glazing which meant constant traffic noise at night. Maybe a room at the back of the hotel would be quieter.... More

Stayed just one night for a short break. The hotel is surprisingly easy to find especially with the directions found on the hotel's website. Free parking is useful for such a central location. Check in staff were friendly and helpful. The room was a reasonable size with a large en-suite bathroom. The bed was comfortable, although it was two single... More

We recently stayed during the cold snap. The staff were welcoming and the acommodation was good. Apart from the plumbing (the bathroom radiator could not be turned on - one might have expected them to check given the weather!) the room was comfortable. In the restaurant the food was good but the service a bit lax (one order was forgotten).... More

I was here for a two day meeting and tagged on an extra night for my partner and I to enjoy this beautiful hotel in the centre of Chichester. It's easy to find and has it's own carpark which is a plus within the city wall. The decor is lovely and work appeared to be underway to improve it further... More
