comfortable hotel
Pros:

The ambience of the building was lovely.The quality of the bed linen, towels and comfort of the mattress were exceptional.I liked the friendliness of the staff particularly as we were part of a group attending a wedding. The mini bar fridge size was large allowing for other purchases such as a pint of milk for tea.

Cons:

We ordered room service one night which let the hotel down and reduced my score .a cheese toastie and fries should be delivered in an edible state, this was hot bread without pickles as per menu and unmelted cheese.We had over salted fries and condiments were not delivered.

Coffee in the bar available throughout the day. Breakfast good.Location excellent for evening shows at the Chichester Festival Theatre. The fan was appreciated as no air con.

Cons:

We experienced a lot of noise of someone walking up and down the room above until 2 am. Need to sort the flloorboards or put in more floor insulation.

Excellent stay in a pleasant and welcoming hotel
Pros:

Great and mostly quiet location on the edge of the town centre, with shops, cafes and restaurants all withing a few minutes' walk.
A well presented building with characterful communal areas. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was a good size, with a nice bathroom and a comfortable bed. A large fan was provided, but for the quality of the hotel the room could have benefitted from air conditioning.
The restaurant was very good, with a reduced price theatre menu, and offered a good choice for breakfast, either continental or traditional.

Cons:

Lack of air conditioning in the room
