Room and hotel very run down and worn out. Couldn’t find a member of staff to take our drink order at the bar on a busy Saturday night so went back upstairs. Got told we could order something for breakfast and no one came and took our order so just used the English breakfast buffet instead.
Staff we did talk to were friendly food was good.
No air conditioning and the material headboard was dirty from years of use.rattling extractor fan in the barthroom. Chipped plaster just tired worn down and disappointed for the money

Check in was quick and easy, actually effortless!

Our room was small and quite dated, our bed was really comfortable and large!

The shower was really poor, barely any water came out and was either freezing cold or scorching hot!

We had someone enter our room with a key unexpectedly, you would think they would wait until after check it to start entering rooms!

The food in the restaurant was really good, we had eggs benidict from the kitchen and it was delightful.

Overall our stay did exactly what we needed it to, but was not as luxurious as it was seen to be.

I had the continental breakfast which was fine but coffee received on my 2nd and 3rd day was not good. The coffee I received on the first day was good.
The reception staff only seemed to greet you if you spoke to them.
The staff at breakfast were nice and friendly.
The room was in need of a makeover and upgrade. The room was dated and there was a smell from the restaurant that emerged into the bathroom. The smell was not pleasant.
The tv in the room was poor, the sound seemed to go off a lot and the picture was fuzzy. The radiator had a loose panel hanging from it. I’m surprised the cleaning staff don’t report this.

Breakfast was great - street parking outside which is free from 6pm - 9am. Will definitely stay again when I am back in the area. Managed to get a walk along the beach before dinner and after breakfast because it is situated so close to the beachfront.

Very nice position on one side of Steyne Gardens in Worthing, a few minutes walk from the seafront.
Restaurant very welcoming, breakfast was fast, efficient and great choice with extremely pleasant staff on hand.
Overall the bedroom presented well, however the bathroom ceiling was heavy with black mould, I suspect from a leak above and obviously been there some time and a bit worrying that it hadn't been attended to.
Odd lock on the bedroom door that was difficult to fathom and a slightly musty smell throughout the ground floor areas.
I would use again but if there's any hint of poor maintenance it will be off my list.

The hotel itself is good, the lack of parking, is no parking / just the street for which you pay is not good .. it was a very hot time , the room was unbearably hot, I asked for a fan and was told there’s air con .. why then given the heat wave did they care more about the bill than those that chose and gave patronage them that hotel to stay there ??! Also the air con did cool , but only just …breakfast was excellent.. really good . The very worst thing was the simply awful attitude and countenance of the older man as you check in .. the owner presumably… just plain unwelcoming, stropy , no smiles , gruff, miserable , unhelpful verging on nasty .. this is what / who you are greeting with as your first encounter at the hotel …room was upstairs , asked if lift , “ no , use the stairs”…no offer of help whatsoever…stairs are also narrow and multi level., not what you need after encountering’him’ then that after a king journey followed by a sweltering room …

The Faulty Towers Immersive Experience!

So much wrong with what is rated as Worthing’s best - the lack of understanding basic financial security (my card details were handwritten in full on the bottom of my check in form), the “barman” needing to be told how to make a Vodka Martini, and FOH staff’s almost refusal to acknowledge you - no cheery greeting in the morning here, if you arrive back after 10pm you’ll need to call the night porter.

Our requested daily newspaper wasn’t available at 9am on our 2nd morning, claiming the shop wasn’t open yet (it was raining), made to feel uncomfortable when having to ask for it the next day as well; anything and everything seemed to be too much trouble.

No leisurely breakfast here either, it’s over by 9:15 each day and the limited staff are run off their feet; hot and cold buffet items both ran out, ordering a soft-set omelette resulted in a hard, brown, rubbery mass with a few halved mushrooms dropped in around the perimeter. Weak filter coffee and when requesting an espresso I was told I’d need to get it from the (closed) bar.

Room was on the small side but adequate, bed was very comfortable, only a single arm chair provided by the only one of the two windows that opened. TV was not only small but mounted too high to watch comfortably, WiFi speed in room was a paltry 3Mbps. Bathroom was showing its age and it was hard to achieve balance in water temperature.

On checking out, no enquiry about how we’d found our 4 night stay nor good wishes for our onward journey.

Although there is no private parking - on street parking outside was pretty easy.

But the hotel really does need new carpets in halls and corridors - some look rather shabby and worn.

Clearly replacing them would be horrendously expensive ... but they do need changing as soon as possible .

Comfortable hotel near Worthing Pier

This hotel was comfortable but the bedroom could do with a little updating. There was rather a lot of dated furniture and the TV was at an odd angle hanging off a wall. The service at reception and at breakfast was excellent. No hotel parking, but you can buy a voucher from reception to park right outside if there are spaces available. Pleasant stay but I was expecting more for the price paid.
