The only thing I would have changed was not being able to contact room service on our room phone. I am disabled so could not get down to reception at the end of the day as exhausted. Meant missing out on supper which I was looking forward to. Enjoyed breakfast more as a result!

Nice hotel with an impressive staircase. But our standard room did not have much room when walking around the bed. Bathroom was pleasant and clean and we had a quiet room. However, the sloping floor in our room 134 caused comfort issues on one side of the bed - which is not good for anyone with back/posture issues. Apart from that we liked the hotel.

The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were helpful, and the food was good and served promptly, allowing us to get to the theatre (CFT) in a relaxed manner
The room was too warm though (all night), and there was a lot of noise from the street (we were in room 2, above the hotel front door, windows closed) - there were a lot of noisy passers by on and off until gone 3:00am, and then from 7am rubbish collection was very noisy, so we didn't get very much sleep (too warm, too much noise); a shame, as a nice environment, potentially

We booked 2 rooms at the Chichester harbour hotel for the 16th January and a table for 3 after looking at the lovely menu. We checked in around 6 paid on arrival once we got to our rooms there was a letter on the bed to say that there was a function that evening and would be music.We should have been told when we booked or at very least upon check in. Went down to bar before dinner but was so loud and nowhere to sit as overtaken by the function group, fair enough decided to go through to restaurant as quieter. The waiter gave us the set lunchtime menu not the one advertised when we booked the table.I thought just a mistake so told the waiter you have given us the wrong menus only to be told that was the menu running tonight (The table behind was clearly eating cheese soufflé that is on the normal evening menu) so we pointed this out and said it’s not the menu advertised! No apology so we decided not to stay and eat elsewhere bitterly disappointed as we had booked for a special occasion. Arrived back to hotel around 9-30 and so loud we went straight to our rooms which were right above the music , it was so loud the rooms were physically shaking couldn’t watch television. We were so upset that what was supposed to be a special occasion was totally ruined when we should have been warned upon booking and really felt to be made unwelcome and an inconvenience. Left next day feeling so disappointed. Have stayed in other Harbour hotels many times which is why we chose to stay.

Nice room with excellent shower. There were to issues that took the edge of our stay . The first was car parking and the second was the restaurant. Car parking although we arrived early there wasn't any . The restaurant because initially we were told we had the have the set meal theatre special , in the end the a la carte was available and the food was good. There were similar problems at breakfast , we were told only continental was available then in the end a slightly limited full English could be provided. They also failed to deliver my newspaper for which I had left a token. Everything was put right in the end and we did eventually park on site , but in stead of being a relaxing stay it was all rather stressful .

If you want a cold room with no eorking heater at high prices, this is the hotel for you. I've left a more detailed review on trip advisor. To cut it short, room number 2 is right be the high street so no need for a alarm clock, the window is ancient so its freezing cold plus no working heater. The only reason we came to this hotel was for its spa facilities which isnt even available for whatever reason. I got charged £10 a day to use car park. Premier inn at half the price makes this look like a 1 star. What a rip off

We were advised Chichester is a small town but still plenty to see and do, most thing with easy walking distance.
Good bus network if required.
Hotel is 10-15 minutes from Railway station, so not too far.

We only booked an overnight stay at the hotel together with a pre theatre dinner. Check in & check out was quick and easy. All the staff throughout our stay were polite & helpful. The room was a good size & packed with all the usual equipment you would need for your stay which also included a mini bar. We were very surprised when we saw the height of the bed which was unusually high but very comfortable when you managed to climb on it. Would book there again.

Lovely hotel just a few issues

I generally really like these hotels.

Really nice room. The bed was comfortable and all the right things in the rooms reception very helpful as I've forgotten my toothbrush

The reason for four stars is I found it a bit unnecessary to charge me £5 to have half an hour later check out especially considering I ate dinner and lunch there and use their hotel the night before in Guildford

Also I chose my dinner based on what it offered on the menu - roast pork with crackling. The response from the chef was not very helpful but thankfully the waitress made up for it.

Lastly I know it's an old lift but the cleaning staff taking up the lift when you're trying to get downstairs with a heavy bag is not useful. It took so long I'm surprised I didn't get charged another £5 for late checkout

Finally my room looked out on the street and therefore someone else's house. My only option for showering and getting dressed was closing the big curtains making the room very dark on a nice sunny day. Maybe some neck curtains or such like could be used?

It was our first experience in Harbour hotel in a junior suite room which was brilliant in general, the only problem was the way accessing it from the main up the stairs,the alley, down the stairs,up again down & up to the room. The room was a good size & pleased with the shower and separate bath. The receptionist was good but did not repeat or explain the deposit on arrival I didnt mind paying but I should have had asked for cooked breakfast if I knew it was refundable. It was an excellent experience at the dining for continental bfast, my daughter was offered cooked breakfast for free but she doesnt feel to, we all enjoyed the breakfast. Thank you!

Enjoyable Stay Needs Slight Improvements

Have stayed at larger Harbours Hotels in the past. This appears to be a grade listed building. Staff were amazing no issues. The hotel has some logistical issues. Room booked was smaller than expected but had need for a second room during our stay which was much bitter. As a whole, very enjoyable stay will stay again. Now the issues. There light bulbs at the side tables had never been cleaned. It's not a pretty sight when you book in and put your night water under it. Some signage like gents on ground floor missing or in a non logical place. Reception layout could be easily improved at no extra cost. Bar is open' but not open ' during quiet periods as no staff when you expect it. You must ask at the reception (who maybe busy) but you don't know you need to do this. It's not the same thing as sitting around the bar, besides, other than festive groups the bar was often empty and looked closed.Not having staff on does not help. it's easier to go elsewhere. Rear car park side entrance could be more welcoming!
