Disappointing

Very loud pump next to room which we persuaded them to turn off. Shower didn’t work for the whole stay. No mirror in barhroom! No option for a hot breakfast, only a 'bun in a bag' Bedroom large and clean. Staff friendly but the whole thing didnt feel like a proper hotel.

Don’t bother… it’s cheap, for a reason!

This, is not a nice hotel. My experience from start to finish was not great. From the staff being as useful as a fly trying to leave a room, to questionable stainage on the armchair; this has everything. We arrived, to a £2.50 per day car parking charge… for a place in the middle of nowhere. A self service check in with some less than helpful reception staff on laptops and phones (the check in process is an iPad). Arrive at the room, at 5pm (check in was 2 hours prior), the room was not made up, door unlocked, bed not made, dirty sink, urine in the toilet, teacups used, water glasses with lipstick stains and a carpet that hadn’t been hoovered - it wasn’t great. We dropped off our bags and advised the staff who popped us a WhatsApp 5 minutes later to say it’s been dealt with (the bed was made…) That brings me on to the loud generator/compressor noise that loudly hums every 30 seconds outside rooms 107/108, 24 hours a day! The bathroom isn’t too bad, other than sitting on the loo gives you pins and needles because it’s too long, and the shower has pressure for 30 seconds and then becomes as powerful as your grandad with a watering can. We had a ground floor room that had no nets or privacy film, so everyone and their dog can peep through, annoyingly had to keep the curtains closed all day and night. The TV didn’t work, no aerial or WiFi connection, good luck finding something to do but twiddle your thumbs! Won’t be back!
Gunk, dirty sink!
Questionable stains… don’t use a black light lads
Random marks on wall
Rusty rad and a non hoovered carpet!

Booked through Expedia. Check in from 3pm , we arrived at 3.05pm. Reception not staffed until 4.30pm , self check in on a computer screen. However our confirmation number from Expedia was not recognised on the computer. We had to go away and come back at 4.30pm when reception was staffed. Turns out it’s a new booking in system and we should have received an email from the hotel itself , which we didn’t. We literally dropped our bags into our room and left to go to a friends dinner party. Upon returning a little worse for wear at 1am we discovered an extremely annoying problem with our room (206). Every 20 seconds some sort of motor or pump would automatically switch on for 10 seconds then stop , on off on off all night long. I’ve recorded the noise from the bed on my phone. Don’t think I can upload it to this review. Other niggly issues as well , but I’ll leave it at that. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I’d stay at the New Chichester Hotel again.

Good price for room shame about the parking charge

Arrival was confusing as trying to book in with the console was not easy, luckily there were staff available to do this. There is a ridiculous £2.50 parking charge given the place is in the midfle of nowhere, we were told it stops non residents parking there, given that i wasn't asked for my car registration I fail to see how that works. We were woken at 7.45 on the Sunday morning by an annoying throbbing news, when i spoke to someone in the reception area he told me he couldn't hear it and he hsd the window open........ When he finally got out of his seat and walked around the courtyard he agreed there was indeed a noise. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The shower worked in pulses, not a steady stream.

Decided to stay at property due to a passing visit and the pictures on the site looked really good for the price given. However, during check in we couldnt check in due to the machine we were using not working, when speaking to staff they knew it was playing up.....so why not put a out of order sign on the device. The room is very run down, paint chipped, old wardrobe doors, very low pressure in the shower, mastic still stuck to the door and walls / doors are thin. If you are a light sleeper i would not recommend staying here but if you want a cheap / quick stay then great. Positives, nice refirbuished bathroom but thats about it

Had to pay £2.50 per night extra for car parking in hotel residents area which was dirty and broken glass laying about. The room was very spacious, plenty of furniture but rather dated. No mirror in the bathroom which was a bit odd as it had a shaver point. Had to go into the hallway to use mirror to remove makeup or shave.

The room was clean and tidy and a good size. The price was excellent. There was spilled paint on the floor outside the door of my room which was not very inviting, but apart from that everything else was good.

Awful

Check in was good we were offered an extra hour in the morning free of charge however this is the only positive thing I can say about our stay. When you are paying for a hotel room I think that it’s a liberty that you then have to pay for parking, the hotel is not easy accessible so obviously if you are staying there you will have a car. There was no mirror in the room for doing hair or make up, the only one was in the bathroom, the tv didn’t work, internet didn’t work, we had about 5 squares of toilet roll on the roll and no spare, the tea and coffee tray didn’t have any tea bags and only had one small pot of milk so we couldn’t even have a much needed coffee due to not actually being able to sleep. There was a horrendous noise every 10 secs it sounded like we had a washing machine in the room with us, upon inspection my husband located the noise, there was some kind of pump in the ceiling in the hallway which had had the ceiling tile removed causing it sound even louder than it should have been. Needless to say we didn’t have a restful night. When I went to check out I wanted to raise my concerns with someone but reception is only made for minimal hours there was a WhatsApp number to contact someone so have tried that and I’m still awaiting a reply have also tried to call but the phone is switched off!!!

Beds not comfortable. Parking chargeable although nothing near the property. No signage about charges. The continental breakfast was dire! Restaurant caused very strong smells to permeate the rooms that come off the courtyard. Not enough supplies of tea and uht milk. Clean but decor very dated and tired. Usable for a cheap stay although price changes almost daily. Feel that £50 should be the maximum for this property.

Rooms are basic and need updating. Rooms are very cold, radiator doesn't seem to work, but makes a lot of noise. Bathroom not very clean, more care could be taken when cleaning. Reception staff nice and welcoming.

8 legged freaks were amongst us....

We thought the hotel is nice and good value for money however, you get what you pay for, I guess in this instance. We found 3 large spiders that were fast and scary looking. So in terms of cleanliness, we are not too keen. Also, paying for parking, it should be free since it's remote.
