The rooms have been partially refurbished, so could do with a full refurb. Should be an option to dine in for breakfast rather than a takeaway breakfast.

The bath tub was dirty, one of the bed head boards had a stain that looked like blood, my stay was only 2 nights so the hotel didn’t have time to resolve this issue, also the reception has limited opening times

Basic but priced accordingly

The Chichester is fairly basic but that’s to be expected for the price. It was roomy and comfortable, but the sound proofing could be better (I suspect we had newly weds in the next room who consumated their marriage at 11, 4 and 7am quite enthusiastically but clearly heard). The water pressure in the shower was poor and the basic breakfast in a bag could be improved but overall we were happy with our stay

No one at reception on check in, No where to get any drink or refreshments, not even a machine. Restaurant is not as advertised, it’s Asian only, rooms were not clean, one room bathroom even had vomit stains left on toilet, doors slamming all night.

Not great but cheap

Staff friendly and check in was quick. Rooms not exactly as shown in images. Windows not able to open fully and due to lack of air conditioning the room was very hot! The onsite restaurant is an Indian but the whole site is a dry site so no onsite bar which is disappointing to say the least. Toby carvery 10mins drive down the road

Basic

An extremely average hotel. No staff on reception so self check in. Room very basic and felt a bit old fashioned and unclean. Water pressure in shower very low, almost not worth having a shower. Only one pillow per person on the bed and no spares or anyone on reception to ask. Fine for one night.

This hotel is very good for someone driving and looking for one night stay. The room is clean and confortable. We had problem with the check in timing. We were told we could come at 15:00 but no one was there. We had to come back at 16:30. Breakfast also is an issue: it is a breakfast to go, no restaurant to seat. You take your back and go back to eat it in your room. Same every day. It is a bit disapointing. Staff is trying her best with the option she has.

I have never known such an unmanned hotel, the reception desk was only open for 3hours per day - i arrived later in evening and only just caught someone on the desk. Although she was very helpful it was very unorganised and she had to call her manager regarding my booking as clear instructions had not been left for her. I did not receive any confirmation from the hotel when i booked and had to make several attempts to contact the hotel prior to my booking along with numerous attempts at calling the hotel but with no response. i find it hard to believe that a hotel can be run this way. The room itself was clean and very basic but served its purpose. My negative would be all based on the running of the bookings and felt that better management was needed.

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 first time you stay with them they put you in a lovely big and refurbished room and anytime after that they stick you in a dirty old fashioned tiny room. Tried to complain to reception and they couldn’t have cared less and told me to take it up with Expedia. Avoid at all costs, not clean, safe or even anyone around to help. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN

Didn’t like you fact you had to pay extra for parking, that should have been included in the room! The Indian food was excellent but don’t serve alcohol. And breakfast wasn’t a proper breakfast like a hotel should be, (breakfast on the go) after asking staff about the breakfast we got told to come down in the morning and collect it before we go, so we did at 10:30 but was told we missed breakfast it stopped at 10! It was only a toastie and a drink! Bed was very comfortable and clean and room we very quiet! But need up dating and smelt very musky in the room

Its a budget hotel, very functional has everything you need. Has had a recent refurb so all freshly painted and new carpet but furniture still to be updated. Bathroom all refitted but water pressure not quite right. Need fans in rooms in the hot weather. No bar on site, could do with a vending machine for bottled water or snacks as only the indian restaurant on site (food is fabulous and you get a discount as staying in the hotel but doesn't serve alcohol and they don't let you bring your own which is a shame) There is a very nice pub in walking distance with great beer garden. Hotel Staff very friendly and helpful and the grab and go breakfast bag good value. No idea why there is a £2.50 parking charge when the only reason to park there is to use the hotel, car park also a bit scruffy needs a bit of tidying up no shortage of parking spaces. Nice little central garden area too. Just a 20 min drive to southend seafront. Self check in facility is good too. Overall good experience would happily use again.

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.

Nice towels in bathroom but nowhere to put them. Bedroom a bit sparse as was the staff. Lucky to get a staff member in the afternoon to check us in as electronic check in did not work. Opinion on hotel influenced by our saturday Times disappearing (clearly set aside and wanted) but room bins not emptied and room not serviced. Hope houskeeping enjoyed the crossword?

Ruhige Lage, sehr gut ausgeschildert, was leider nicht die Regel ist. Schöne Zimmer. Viel Parkraum nahe an den Zimmern, das Parken wird aber berechnet - nicht sehr kundenfreundlich. Das Frühstück besteht aus einer Tüte mit abgepackten Snacks. Besser auslassen und andernorts frühstücken. An Teebeuteln und Instandkaffee wurde extrem gespart. Davon dürfte es etwas mehr geben, ebenso vom Zucker etc.

Nothing to like or recommend this hotel. It was sad depressing and completely soulless. The exterior areas were dirty and unkept as well as the lobby and general reception area. We were shown to a room which had not been made up, soiled bed linen strewn around along with obvious previous occupation. A moody person reluctantly offered us another room which although serviced was nevertheless dated, tired and generally unwelcoming. The “breakfast to go” was hurriedly prepared and did not represent value for money as well as being tasteless. Avoid this hotel at all costs
