The Vestry

As always the stay was wonderful, staff very friendly and breakfast was excellent. The hotel is conveniently located in the city centre with free parking. You could not hear any noise from the bar area when in the bedroom. Tea and coffee provided even a free beer in the room

Nice enough spacious room, good bed and ok value, considering I didn’t read in time before booking there is a nightclub disco going on one floor below to 3am!!!!…. However the tv was worse than useless with a permanent flickering and appalling satellite signal making viewing impossible…. I tried everything to improve the signal including reprogramming through settings but was hopeless… will never stay again sadly…

Well located and clean, but matresses very uncomfortable. Noisy but was expected as the rooms are over a late night bar (earplugs provided). Hot water and good in-room facilities refreshments. Breakfast very good and was provided hot food on the Monday even though I got the timings wrong and was 10 mins late. Plenty of space to work in the bar downstairs during the day. Expensive though for such uncomfortable beds!

The bed was very comfortable but it creaked every time you moved. Room was a good size, staff were friendly and breakfast was good. Good location for the centre of Chichester. Many thanks go to the member of staff who helped us to get our car started after a flat battery.

Great room very good staff see some negatives about noise but didn’t find it at all that noisy we stayed Friday night so bar was in full swing downstairs. Great starting point for walks the canal walk is really nice and a lovely pub about halfway the spotted cow . We would definitely stay here again thank you to everyone at hotel for our lovely time

We stayed at the Vestry over the coldest weekend of the year so far, to attend a family wedding in Chichester. The room was very spacious (we had a Deluxe Ensuite) and there was even a spa bath in the (also spacious) bathroom. The bed was very comfy (though a bit soft for my wife). Once the heater had been going for a while the room was warm enough too but we could never get the bathroom quite as warm even with the heated towel rail going full blast. The TV had access to streaming channels such as iPlayer which was great, and there's free wifi too also fast enough to stream TV. Their breakfasts are excellent (included in the price) and the staff were very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Just a couple of things to be aware of. First, the pub below the rooms have noisy weekend events (which they warn you about) but our room was at the back of the hotel and we barely heard a thing. In any event, there were disposable earplugs on the beds but we didn't need them. Second, there is only very limited parking at the back which is not directly accessible from the hotel - you have to walk through a narrow lane to the high street (however, you can park briefly in front of the hotel to load/unload if you need). If there are no parking spaces they will give you a ticket to a nearby multi-storey car park. They do warn you not to drive into the adjoining Southgate Car park even just to turn around as they have CCTV cameras which will record you and start charging and if you don't pay because you didn't stay you will still be fined! It charges £1.70 ph 24/7. By the way, if you're driving, set your satnav to Southgate Car Park which is at the end of Deanery Close after the Vestry parking spaces. This gave us the correct route around the one-way system.
