“I found this hotel strikes a nice balance, placing you moments from Chichester Cathedral while also providing a lively bar scene that extends into the night. Rooms are well-maintained and comfortable, some upgraded with super-king beds and Jacuzzis, and the community vibe seemed genuinely welcoming. While the late-night music might not suit everyone, the location and unique cocktail offerings certainly caught my attention.”
