This place should be listed as a motel not a hotel. There is no bar and the restaurant does not serve alcohol or allow BYO. The is no breakfast as advertised so that was a waste of 30pound. Staff were hardly around and unhelpful. Do not recommend

Basic

An extremely average hotel. No staff on reception so self check in. Room very basic and felt a bit old fashioned and unclean. Water pressure in shower very low, almost not worth having a shower. Only one pillow per person on the bed and no spares or anyone on reception to ask. Fine for one night.

The whole check in process, the absence of any staff and the state of the room which was full of dead insects lead me to driving 3 hours home rather than sleep there. Stay away from this terribly run hotel

The room was clean but the bathroom in poor condition. There was very few condiments and only enough milk sachets for one drink. The plug for the kettle did not reach the plug socket and had to be used on the bedside cabinet. There was no mirror in the room so if you needed to dry your hair or put on make up, forget it.

Basic but priced accordingly

The Chichester is fairly basic but that’s to be expected for the price. It was roomy and comfortable, but the sound proofing could be better (I suspect we had newly weds in the next room who consumated their marriage at 11, 4 and 7am quite enthusiastically but clearly heard). The water pressure in the shower was poor and the basic breakfast in a bag could be improved but overall we were happy with our stay

Its a budget hotel, very functional has everything you need. Has had a recent refurb so all freshly painted and new carpet but furniture still to be updated. Bathroom all refitted but water pressure not quite right. Need fans in rooms in the hot weather. No bar on site, could do with a vending machine for bottled water or snacks as only the indian restaurant on site (food is fabulous and you get a discount as staying in the hotel but doesn't serve alcohol and they don't let you bring your own which is a shame) There is a very nice pub in walking distance with great beer garden. Hotel Staff very friendly and helpful and the grab and go breakfast bag good value. No idea why there is a £2.50 parking charge when the only reason to park there is to use the hotel, car park also a bit scruffy needs a bit of tidying up no shortage of parking spaces. Nice little central garden area too. Just a 20 min drive to southend seafront. Self check in facility is good too. Overall good experience would happily use again.

Not great but cheap

Staff friendly and check in was quick. Rooms not exactly as shown in images. Windows not able to open fully and due to lack of air conditioning the room was very hot! The onsite restaurant is an Indian but the whole site is a dry site so no onsite bar which is disappointing to say the least. Toby carvery 10mins drive down the road

Comfortable and convenient

Convenient and in a quiet location, self check in was very easy. Good sized room and firm mattress. A bit cheeky to then charge £2.50 a night for car parking when I arrived - seemed like a revenue grab for no reason as there’s a very large car park and it’s not in the centre of a town / city

This hotel is appalling don’t waste your money, room dirty no working shower no hot water. No bar it’s a dry hotel which they don’t tell you, the stairwell to the room was full of cigarette ends, I booked this hotel for my daughter and husband for there first wedding anniversary, it was disgraceful bugs in the room cobwebs, I could go on and on and no reception and when you ring for anything like no hot water it’s takes 3 hours for them to attend, they spoilt there special day and wasted my money

Wouldnt stay again

Limited reception open hours. There Trying to do it all via computer not very welcoming. Therefore theres no one about to ask anyone if room was available early or to speak to about issues in room. Room itself dated and noisy radiators all night. Shower was a dribble at best and only hot water, so a dribble of boiling water for a shower.
