“This is an elegant Georgian building situated perfectly in the heart of the city, making it an excellent base for exploring Chichester's cultural attractions. While the dining experience, particularly the evening meal, impresses with its quality and pricing, the continental breakfast disappoints with its basic offering. Nevertheless, the welcoming staff, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches like in-room gin contribute to a positive stay.”
