Guest Reviews
- Josh (10/5): -
- Daryl (8/5): -
- Holly (3/5): - Bath was faulty - didn’t hold water! Room was tiny. Paid an awful lot of money for a superior room and it didn’t meet expectations.
- John (8/5): Very enjoyable, we will definitely come back next time we are in the area. - Warm and relaxing atmosphere. Pleasant and helpfull staff. The room was clean and well presented. Easy access to the town and all its amenities. The breakfast menu was very good. Car parking was expensive
- dave (7/5): Too many disappointments - Character of hotel and it's history. Parking was handy. Lady on reception was great, very friendly Our room wasn't cleaned the first day. Sure, we left the room late, btu our room, and another on our floor weren't cleaned. Top floor room, single glazed, cold May night <9 degrees, no heating. Spa facilities being upgraded, so all closed - a bit reason to book, no discount! The restaurant where we ate one night was disappointing and expensive, the waitress was overly friendly, then pushed us out earlier than we wanted by delivering the bill, then to rub salt into the wounds, early last orders around 2200h. No bread, all very odd. Recommend to eat out, sorry!
- Phil (7/5): Great location, friendly staff but choose your room carefully - Location was perfect for the centre of Chichester We had a small room at the very top of the hotel. Whilst it was comfortable with a big bed and decent shower it felt like a room kept to one side for late bookings via Booking.Com. Just didn’t feel very premium for the money. Also the hotel car park is not actually owned by them and you get charged £10 per day which I have never experienced in the other 5 Harbour hotels we have stayed in.

- Ian (9/5): -
- Alanna (8/5): Excellent location, but expensive for what it was. - The location was brilliant and the staff were friendly. The cocktails in the bar were amazing and bar staff were also lovely. We didn’t know the spa would be closed which was disappointing. The room was a little tired and a few long hairs in the bath.
- Brian (6/5): - Comfy bed, nice architecture, good location Too expensive, small room, indifferent staff and parking charges
- CHRISTINA (9/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): -
- Kevin (10/5): -
- Catherine (9/5): Lovely staff, interesting building, great location - Great location, lovely building, comfortable bed Bathrooms were a bit out of date
- Mike (2/5): Expensive and disappointing - Single bed comfortable, nice shower, fairly spacious. Limited parking fist come first served. Wanted credit card £50 for incedentals. Small noisy room could hear people talking, utility room next door noisy electrical (dishwashers?) Workers moving cutlery or dishes early morning. £18:00 for breakfast is very expensive (I declined)
- kristie (8/5): -
- Sarah (9/5): - Well located near city centre and Chichester Festival Theatre. Decent breakfast and friendly staff. Clean. Very comfortable bed. Room very warm even with windows open. Fan provided which helped but ought not to be necessary in May and low temperatures
- GRAHAM (7/5): Enjoyable but overpriced. - Location and public areas Not enough parking. Too many stairs.
- Anna (6/5): - Nice room, lovely hotel Steam room was unavailable. Walls were extremely thin so could hear almost everything in the room Next to me. Room was insanely warm with little ventilation
- Christine (10/5): Lovely hotel and very central to Chichester . Lovely staff . - Great location Great staff Lovely decor We got charged another £6 per person for breakfast even I had breakfast included . When pointing this out I was told hot breakfast is extra. It’s not the money but the principle. Bit stingy I thought. Also the car park should be included .
- Poppy (10/5): -
- Graham (8/5): -
- Zoe (10/5): Very enjoyable stay - Beautiful old building with a lovely spacious and luxurious room. Very well located You have to pay for parking and it’s a small tight carpark
- Guest (6/5): -
- Keith (10/5): Excellent friendly hotel - Fantastic location for exploring Chichester or for the theatre. Arrive early for the hotel car park although there is plenty of parking nearby..
- Dean (8/5): -
- Hamish (9/5): -
- Annette Glarborg (10/5): -
- JON (6/5): - great cooked breakfast
- Guest (8/5): -
- James (8/5): lovely location - Very nice atmosphere; breakfast good and attentive service. The room didn't have an upright chair so using the desk was tricky.
- Richard (8/5): - Location Fridge in room buzzing on and off through the night keeping me awake!
- Janet (10/5): Spent the night there for my partners 60th birthday and everything was lovely and we enjoyed a lovely relaxing time x - The staff and the rooms were excellent ,service and food also good .
- Jane (8/5): Enjoyable - Location and they upgraded our room Lift was noisy and our room was right opposite it
- Elaine (8/5): Fine for an overnight stay - Character, ambience. We were upgraded to a larger room which was great. Only issue was, whoever was staying in the room above, that they were walking very heavily both late at night and very early in the morning and the floor boards were very creaky and squeaky and it kept us awake at night and woke us up very in the morning 😩.
- Raluca (6/5): Dusty and unloved - Very central, clean and still offers vanity kits, flip flops and bath robes in the room, which a lot of other 4 star hotels do not do anymore. Has parking space if you come by car, but it costs 10 GBp a day. Breakfast is very basic. The continental breakfast has 2-3 options: cereals, some toast with ham and some cheese. The hot breakfast is ok but is an xtra 6GBp per person which I thought was a rip off. The floorboards in the rooms are not flat. So you can’t put a glass on the table as it rolls ok. Same thing in the bathroom. And the hotel altogether looks unloved. Plastic flowers instead of real flowers in a 4 star hotel????
- Julie (10/5): Loved the hotel staff and location would come back - Location and food Small car park when we went out I worried we wouldn’t be able to get back in the car park
- Graham (8/5): - Location, cleanliness and staff
- Alec (10/5): -
- Rob (9/5): -
- Sharon (7/5): Relax - Hotel but would be better steam room working Shower screen couldn't get to shower or tap
- Tara (8/5): - Really comfy bed! Perfect location The steam room was closed.
- Bex (10/5): -
- Roger (9/5): Frankly, we were both very happy. We will try your restaurant next time. -
- Jill (9/5): We had a great time but thought the above comments should be noted by the manager of a 4* star hotel - Lovely hotel and room. The bathroom was excellent. Continental breakfast was very good. Ideal location for the Cathedral, shops and restaurants. The lighting in the room was poor for reading and the radiator never came on even though it was extremely cold on 25th March. We had dinner with our friends who were also staying at the hotel. Two meals turned up but we had to wait a long time for the other two meals. The bar ran out of some beer, there was no chocolate ice cream and the butter requested with the cheeseboard never appeared. The food was very good.
- mark (8/5): -
- Emma (6/5): Good location tho room could be improved with more air con and better light. - Location was great. The room was way too hot, with a fan in the room it didn’t really help. Windows didn’t open enough to get any air in. The room was also quite dark with no way of screening the window unless fully pulling the curtains. Which then left only one main ceiling light and the two laps.
- Kimberley (8/5): - Great location, lovely place, good for high street shopping and going out but still quiet when back in the hotel, nice ambience and nice spa My room was a bit on the warm side and the room was quite snug, but it was fine for just one person and nice modern bathroom as well as older features of the hotel
- Anne (8/5): - Position neR the theatre and the shops was great
- Jeremy (8/5): Excellent Harbour hotels - Room, location, quality, all excellent Having paid for room in advance and not planning to eat in hotel I was forced to pay a further £50 deposit....immediately. I am still waiting for the refund. Dont they trust their guests ,??
- Nikki (5/5): Great place to stay but eat out for breakfast snd dinner - Lovely big room with huge bed and nice bathroom Restaurant food and stuff were not good
- Eve (9/5): -
- Caroline (8/5): -
- Dennis (9/5): Nice relaxing stay - Good choice of food for breakfast . Room comfortable location good
- Tracey (10/5): - The room was large and clean, bed very comfortable, nice bar for pre dinner drinks
- Tim (9/5): Great location and comfortable room - Great location and comfortable room situated in central Chichester you do get a bit of street noise but that comes with the location
- Tammy (5/5): Nice stay, good location - Lovely building. Nice friendly staff. Comfy bed. 4 minutes walk to main shopping area and cathedral. The spa is not working so closed. Paid more for spa facility so disappointed it was not open. Some paint cracks in room, should be address at this price point. .
- Vicky (5/5): It was ok but wouldn’t say it’s a 4 star - Good location Car park is tiny, made worse when people can’t park properly and then they charge £10 a night … didn’t see that on the booking site and it wasn’t explained when i checked in either The floor creaked a huge amount and I felt sorry for the room below …
- Donna (3/5): Unfortunately, will not stay there again, due to the uncomfortable bed - The hotel itself is beautiful. The bed and pillows were so uncomfortable, the blinds don’t fit the windows so have light coming through the whole . the men’s toilets were overflowing with urine, the food is overpriced for what you get.
- Robyn (8/5): Lovely, Clean, Central - Lovely decor, clean and presentable. Great central location. Nice little touches, complimentary gin! Car park is very small for the amount of guests
- KEVAN (10/5): -
- Alex (9/5): -
- ben (10/5): -
- Cheryl (9/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): -
- Andrea (9/5): I would defintely stay again - Size of the rooms and staff were incredibly helpful
- Kim (8/5): Lovely hotel - Location Nothing
- Darren (6/5): - Stunning room & location Room was so hot that we had the fan on all night & lots of noise around 8am outside.
- Jody (10/5): -
- Lizzie (9/5): A real treat! - Breakfast was great, room was decorated beautifully. Staff couldnt be more helpful. My parents came with us, my dad has parkinsons, he found the beds too high the get into. Luckily we had a step which he used.
- Lee (8/5): It was ok - The bed It was expensive considering no breakfast was included
- terence (8/5): - Friendly staff , the location Can't think of any
- neil (4/5): Nice bed and big room spoilt by the terrible noise issue - The bed was comfortable and big The building was nice Location great Room 20 Every floor board in the room squeaked when you walked on it The windows rattled when the wind blew ,we had to stuff paper between the gaps to stop it The room was next to an old school lift with a metal sliding door,constant noise from people coming in and out All the floor boards outside our room squeaked when people walked on them There was also a staircase next to our door that again made loads of noise when walked up them I realise this is an old building but as someone who works in the building industry i know there are ways to limit the noise of the floor boards Management should sleep in this room on a busy Saturday night to experience it
- Neale (7/5): - We stayed in the cottage which was cosy and ideal for a wet/cold day. The price is excessive for what it is, particularly when you get charged an additional £10 for parking your car
- Simon (8/5): A very pleasant stay and we will be back! - The room, bar and breakfast were all good and the Reception staff were very helpful with regard to our parking The background music in the bar and at breakfast was quite loud and not in keeping with the tone of the hotel
- Samantha (7/5): -
- Barrie (9/5): -
- Daniela (9/5): Storico albergo nel cuore di chichester caldo e confortevole. - L’hotel è molto centrale, dieci minuti a piedi dalla cattedrale. Si respira tutta la storia di questo caratteristico albergo in stile old England. Anche lo scricchiolio del pavimento fa parte del fascino. Letto comodissimo e due cuscini a testa davvero di altissima qualità. Anche se la finestra della camera era davvero vecchia con un po’ di ingegno siamo riusciti a chiudere la parte superiore che non andava benissimo. Ciò nonostante non entrava freddo e anzi la camera era calda al punto giusto perché il termosifone è regolabile. La pressione dell’acqua della doccia è potente e non sempre è così. Biancheria da bagno in abbondanza. In camera persino la macchina del caffè nespresso con cialde e biscotti in omaggio così come un bollitore con una selezione di te. Al mattino si sentono i gabbiani. Un bellissimo risveglio. Tutto bello e caratteristico. Anche qualcosa di vecchio fa parte dell’atmosfera.
- David (9/5): Second stay at The Harbour Hotel, we will be back again. - Good welcome at reception, great help with our parking requirements, good bar and delicious dinner. The bar was a little cold. Mind you the weather was awful.
- Myra (8/5): -
- Gabrielle (8/5): A quick getaway for an early Valentine's Day at a perfect hotel for visiting Chichester. - Very comfortable bed, excellent shower/bathroom facilities and good decor. Nice to have a tea and coffee facility too. Our room was on the side of the hotel and was very quiet. Friendly and welcoming staff. They were able to answer all our requests. Nice bar to relax in at the end of the evening. Sorry but breakfast was a bit of a disappointment. Why do so many British hotels offer such poor quality bread and pasty? The croissant was stodgy, I didn't try the sliced bread. The continental breakfast offered only one cheese and ham, but the cooked breakfast was fine. Lots of choice. Also lots of good hot coffee and choice of fruit juices.
- Karen (10/5): Excellent hotel highly recommended - Beautiful hotel and situated close to town. Lovely comfy rooms. Excellent cocktails too! Nothing
- Kim (10/5): Great stay and thank you - Location is great as near to the centre. Food at the restaurant was scrumptious and loved the rooms. Could not fault it. It was a shame the sauna was being refurbished at the time we stayed.
- Naomi (8/5): Really lovely hotel to stay in, especially for the theatre and exploring Chichester - Very central location,
- Debbie (7/5): Very very disappointing - The location was perfect and all the staff especially Laura on reception and your food & beverage manager went above and beyond. The only let down was the guy who checked us in who said you're a bit early and said we could put our bags in the corridor in front of him where there was no security. Our junior suite was a loft room. After going up and down in and out of doors we finally made it to our room which had no wow factor at all. It was a special birthday trip for my husband and was very disappointing! We'd hoped to chill in our lovely room but had to go out as with no where to sit and no light. The clothes get caught up with the fridge in the wardrobe and space was very limited, there was no magnifying mirror in the bathroom so we struggled to get ready and the bathroom fan didn't work. We stay at a lot of the Harbour Hotels and this was by far the worst one!

- Dominic (9/5): -
- Richard (9/5): -
- martyn (10/5): - Staff and food excellent
- Lynn (8/5): -
- Linda (9/5): Lovely location - The hotel was close to the high street and theatre. easily found. Very good breakfast Car park could hacve been better sign posted but not a problem
- Atkinson (9/5): Highly recommended. An excellent staff team, great bar and restaurant and very comfortable room. - We arrived at the hotel late, after a very long drive, missing final orders for dinner by a few minutes. The receptionist (Laura), welcomed me inside and instantly understood our situation. She went to speak to the Chef to find out what might be possible. Chef confirmed that dinner was possible from their shorter set menu. Laura then made the arrangements with the Chef whilst we parked. My husband and I enjoyed an excellent dinner in the restaurant. We are grateful to the team for the welcome and for going above and beyond for us at the end of a very stressful day. Wonderful hospitality. There was nothing to dislike - in fact quite the opposite.
- Matthew (7/5): Short stay in Chichester - The location is great, close to the centre of the city. The staff are friendly and helpful. The bed in our room was spacious but tired, lumpy and uncomfortable.
- ANTHONY (7/5): Staff and food were good as was the situation within the city - Centrally situated Disappointed with the room situation for a superior bedroom. View was obstructed buy wall close to window which also made the room dark. Only one chair available to sit in , no coffee table. Music Noise from bar below .
- Lee (10/5): -
- Shade (8/5): -
- Andrew (7/5): Satisfactory - Location very convenient Room was overly hot and stuffy and unable to open any windows. Also shower was fixed on very hot and could not be changed - we were unable to use it.
- Matthew (4/5): Full price charged, yet no advance warning that bar closed all evening for private party - Not acceptable that the hotel informs me that there’s a private function taking place closing the bar facilities all evening and loud music till 11.30pm by placing a printed letter on my hotel bed after I’ve obviously checked in. Had I of known in advance that a large part of the communal facilities - the spa was also closed all weekend - I would have cancelled my booking.
- Edward (9/5): Good stay -
