Not handy for town
Relaxing stay. Good value. Comfortable bed. Helpful staff. Delicious breakfast.
All fine
Nothing worth noting.
False advertising on the bed size, it says extra large bed in their king room is 181-210 width. In fact it was a standard uk double bed. Communicated with the front desk since I booked this hotel for the large bed size it advertised, they told me that “UK king bed is the same size as the one in my room and in every room in this hotel” . I showed him the advertised bed size on booking.com he said he would need to phone the general manager, then nothing happened. I didn’t sleep much that night due to small bed size. It’s ridiculous I ended up losing sleep in a hotel.
Good location, great room, lovely breakfast, relaxing atmosphere.
The bath do with a little bit of attention, but overall, great value.
Great stay, room was lovely and clean and comfy. Staff very helpful, excellent location.
Nothing
It isn’t a fancy hotel but it isn’t a fancy price and it was better than I thought it would be
Room, comfortable bed
All okay
The staff were friendly
The pillows
Convenient clean and helpful staff
Had a little issue with the extractor fan And adjusting cold and hot mixer. Complaint understood and offered to change the room. Offer refused as there was only one more night and managed it comfortably.
The evening staff couldn’t do enough for us behind the bar.
There was nothing to dislike about the accommodation.
Excellent service on arrival and throughout our stay
Nothing
Good location could walk into Arundel town centre
Rustige kamer met heerlijke bedden. Als je aan komt rijden denk je eerst, wat is dit op een industrieterrein maar voor ons heerlijk rustig. Eerste hotel waar we na 4 nachten heerlijk geslapen hebben, zelfs met t raam open.
Het ontbijt is erg vroeg en wat karig.
The breakfast was adequate but nothing special Location next to McDonald's was convenient because of my children
Cob webs everywhere, insects come in when windows are opened due to no Aircon. Extractor fan in the bathroom not working
Close enough to taxi into town, very friendly helpful staff
Very uncomfortable beds
Parking was free. Receptionist very friendly and polite
The smell as you walked into the hotel. Damp & musky. The bedroom & bathroom are in dire need of renovation. The flooring in the bathroom around the toilet is heavily stained which is off putting. It may have been clean but it looks grubby. The pillows were lumpy. It was not worth £150 and the marketing over sold it
Perfect location for our purpose Welcoming staff Beds very comfy Pillow choice good Huge fans in rooms
Stain on towels Cobweb on light One bedroom window seal needs replacing
The reception staff are lovely and very efficient. It's a convenient place to stay and has nice restaurant and reception area. The room i had was very basic and really needs updating. The floor wasn't hoovered properly and I hate this as I can't walk in bare feet However overall I was comfortable. I just feel for the £138 I paid it wasn't worth it
Needs updating Dirty old ugly curtains Carpet not hoovered properly
The staff were attentive and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble Lorenzo on reception, was notably excellent. The manager Amir was very polite. The head housekeeper ( sorry didn’t get her name) should be proud of her staff the hotel was always clean and tidy. She herself was extremely friendly and spent time talking with us. The room was basic as you would expect but it had lovely little touches such as boxed tissues in the bathroom and biscuits with the tea making facilities. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel is situated on a services area but despite this it was very quiet. There is a 24 hr petrol station Costa and macdonalds on the services which is handy as the hotel only serves breakfast. The breakfast was beyond expectations giving a wide range of cooked and continental choices at a reasonable price Added bonus the hotel has a bar for a sneaky alcoholic drink Can’t rate this hotel high enough and we will definitely return in October
There were issues getting onto the main road from the services which were mainly due to build up of traffic at the lights and the macdonalds drive through entrance
A purpose built building a little way from Arundel Town centre, affording a good sized room with TWO chairs enabling two guests to sit rather than one breaking their back perched on the bed! Very good shower. Good breakfast. Friendly and helpful crew.
Nothing.

Location was good for our destination, we left before breakfast. Staff were friendly & helpful. Lovely little bar & seating area. Room was clean & comfortable.
Not your fault, parking is a bit tight.
Always clean and staff are always friendly
Schoon
We didn't have breakfast , not too far from Arundel town centre or Little Hampton where we done our site seeing .
Nothing really , exceeded our expectations.
Comfortable and local with free parking
We were warmly welcomed and checked in quickly, which was much appreciated after a long day exploring the beautiful gardens and Arundel Castle. The hotel is easily accessible for guests with mobility restrictions, and our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable and the room was wonderfully quiet, giving us a truly relaxing night. Breakfast was delicious, with a lovely English spread, a coffee machine, and a helpful, friendly gentleman on hand. Check-out was equally quick and easy, and a lovely lady even invited us to join the hotel's loyalty group and wished us a safe journey home. Thank you for the excellent service and lovely stay — we will definitely be back!
Everything was more than we expected
Ideal location for our needs, staff were great, facilities were good.. room was exactly what we needed
Nothing
Local to where we were going
Near a 24hr garage where lads meet with their cars and blowing horns half the night. I think the area was rough
Perfecte plaats om de streek te verkennen. En waar voor je geld.
Quiet location Friendly staff on arrival Hotel was clean and tidy Parking was excellent Special thanks for the fan in the bedroom Great bath / hand soap Tv great size
Bed was stiff as a board Coffee cup was dirty + spoon
Nice little hotel close to Arundel town. Had everything we needed and was comfortable and clean with nice staff.
Its location at the edge of town was very convenient and quiet. Male receptionist was very pleasant and professional
Good location access from main routes.
A little noise from the McDonald’s in the evening
Staff was friendly
We booked a king room with an extra large double bed but the bed was actually a standard double bed. The room had no air conditioning and it had carpet which couldn't be properly cleaned. The was mould on the sides of the shower.
I had a little bar and staff were friendly also did provide a fan , all you needed was there
A bit worn out but ok for a one night stay
Schöne kamer, aardig personeel, prima plek als je op doorreis bent.
Locatie is niet bijzonder, maar ook niet slecht.
Comfy beds, but rooms a little outdated
Rooms outdated, and breakfast was only served till 9am
El personal super servicial. Ubicación adecuada para visitar Arundel, tanto en coche como si te desplazas en tren.
No hay aire acondicionado. Hasta tres ventiladores hemos usado las dos noches. No hay ascensor para subir las maletas a la segunda planta. Desayuno británico sin demasiados excesos. Café horrible.
Rooms clean, beds comfortable, breakfast nice and staff friendly
Location was not to great if u did not have a car
Convenient location for Arundel and A27. Plenty of parking
Very outdated. Am sure the room had bed bugs. As woke bitten all over
Lovely room, lovely bathroom, tea and coffee facilities very good. Large fan in room worked very well.
Just a quick stay over
Convenient
Very clean, pleasant helpful staff and a good hot breakfast
Staff very polite helpful, Breakfast great amount of choice, ( mixed fruit salad fresh) would be nice Quiet locations, early morning not sooo
Condition bathroom outdated,wall coverings not clean, toilet cistern loose,under sink does not look fixes, Shower, water excellent, no rails for support getting in out bath, Supply of fan, needed when we stayed. A bonus TV, lack of channels, when did get on, cannot watch due to signal, Could not connect to YouTube? Slamming doors and Lorrie’s, deliveries loud, expected…
Great breakfast with very helpful staff member. Quiet location. Clean, comfy room.
Very disappointed with breakfast. Only pears and oranges for our fruit salad. Fried eggs overcooked and cold. Bacon not properly cooked and cold. Mushrooms not properly cooked and cold.
A hot breakfast buffet!
Friendly reception and restaurant staff
There was Coffee stains on sheets ,lack of choice at Breakfast would have liked to have seen muffins, biscuits,pancakes and cakes.The eggs were over done and hard ,no tomatos or bananas.Also broken toilet flush reported not fixed ..Small parking space filled with . only 3 disabled space some parked didn't have a badge .
Breakfast was brilliant. Shower was amazing, brilliant pressure!
No air-conditioning
It was quiet, overall comfortable, had nice chat with the receptionist.
There's McDonalds next to the hotel so I couldn't reach the parking for more than half an hour because people were queueing for McDonalds. Had to abandon the car at the petrol station so I can check out. The major junction nearby seems like notorious for congestion. Glad I left early before I got trapped again.
Good location perfectly placed between Arundel and Worthing (though difficult to find a taxi covering trips between the hotel and Arundel), clean spacious rooms, really friendly staff!
Lack of air conditioning. The rooms were like saunas, and unfortunately the fans provided just blew hot air around. The location, whilst great, caused great disruption on day 2 of our stay, as trying to get out of the one way service station system was HORRIFIC! 40 minutes we sat in the car queueing to get onto the main road for what took us 1 minute the night before. The traffic management is awful and needs looking into properly!
All the staff were so very polite and helpful. Special mention to Lorenzo on reception. The lady who cleaned our room, I’m sorry, I don’t know her name, was lovely. She made sure we had enough milk for our tea and coffee, and our room was spotless. Whilst neither of us use a wheelchair, a walk in shower would have helped ( I couldn’t see on the booking form if that was available). Thank you for booking us a room near reception (as requested), this was a great help. Thank You for the portable fan in the room, I don’t think we could have managed without it in 34 degree heat.
The area was a little noisy with boy racers and a 24 hour Macdonalds and petrol station virtually next door. The fried breakfast could have been better. I’m not sure how they cooked the mushrooms (possibly boiled) they were tasteless. The fried eggs were rubbery. However, the bacon was first class, the best I have tasted. I appreciate, that providing food, for a staggered service, can be challenging, however, this was not good. It fell well below, the breakfast, provided at the Premier Inn.
no noise at night
Breakfast no fresh pastries pre package
Good location
Very poor breakfast.
Net hotel maar wel prijzig
The rooms were comfortable and the staff very helpful.
The room was to expensive for what it was and not a great location for Arundel.
Hotel was as we expected, functional without frills. A bar with inside/outside seating area. The room was fine, again basic, but everything worked. The buffet breakfast was good. Gluten free bread & cereal was available. The staff were attentive & helpful. For us, was a good experience.
Outside seating area could be a little noisy & smelly due to the adjoining fuel station & fast food restaurant. At peak times, found there was a queue to get out of the Service station area.

Like the whole world.........air/ con
Parking gratuit. Calme. Petit déjeuner à volonté.
Loin du centre. Pas de climatisation, ventilateur bruyant.
El desayuno muy aceptable.
Location, nothing else
Run down, bathrooms old, shower curtain annoying, bar poor, decor dated, overpriced for what you get
I arrived at 10 PM, and the receptionist was very polite. The room was good, with a comfortable bed and an excellent shower.
Nothing
The cleanliness, the bed was comfortable, Lorenzo was so lovely to speak to very nice young man. The breakfast was great
Location slightly out of town but excellent parking. Breakfast was lovely, hot,plenty of choice, staffs very nice and helpful.
Nothing everything spot on.
Gabinetto mal funzionante
Very accessible, friendly & helpful staff. Good parking and clean rooms
Location
No one one reception when we arrived. Room very basic and the hotel was not at all like the photos. Reception gave the idea it was nice but beyond that it was awful. Shower/bath didn't drain well. Generally grubby and no sound proofing. Tv heard still playing at 2am.
The receptionist Lorenzo went above and beyond to give us a good stay! The hotel and our room/bathroom was spotless.
Although the bathroom was clean, it was in need of some TLC/ maintenance.
Convenient for Arundel & beach, clean, had all the basic facilities we needed, staff all very pleasant
I asked for a gluten fee breakfast but the staff didn't know what that was, despite multiple signs around about asking about allergens. Breakfast buffet was cheap ingredients, basic, average to poor quality e.g. eggs overcooked, 1 choice of meat, 1 choice of cheese, 1 choice of yoghurt Whole decor needed an overhaul/ fresh coat of paint. Location meant we wouldn't stay again - the noise from McDonalds and the next door services meant we got little sleep - had to keep the room windows open as no aircon and really warm
Brilliant location Good looking hotel
No signs for McDonald’s visible as you approach the hotel. No sign showing exit as a one way - dangerous!
Good location. No AC but they provided a fan. Room was large with nice bed. Very nice bathroom. Staff were very nice and helpful
Nothing. All was as expected
lovely hotel close to littlehampton
Room was clean & quiet. Complimentary tea, coffee, water & biscuits. Great friendly staff. Plenty of room to park.
Really needed air conditioning as rooms very hot & stuffy even with the fan provided.
Comfortable and staff were very pkeasant and helpful
1km from training station. 2km from Arundel town. No where to eat at night apart from McDonalds or 2km to town. No airconditioning (yes there was heating for winter) or fridge in the room.
The price
Location good difficult to get out of the service area in the morning
No air con in room and it was 34 degrees outside. Unable to sleep, unbearably hot. Price hiked for Goodwood FOS is not great.
Very comfortable and clean, friendly staff, good breakfast
We were very hot but I can’t fault the property - this was an exceptional heatwave and the UK doesn’t usually get this hot so there was no A/C. But they had very thoughtfully provided a big fan and with the windows open it gradually cooled down overnight
Was much better than I expected! The huge fan in the room was divine. Bathroom looked like it was recently refurbed and to a good standard and the shower was on point! Good tea and coffee making facilities And bottled water! Actually really couldn’t fault it. The the colour scheme was a tad 1970’s but kinda retro, so no biggy
The curtains were a bit flimsy and could do with being heavier and maybe blackout as it was super bright in the morning. But also not a major issue tbf.
A room at £260 per night with no air conditioning so we had to open windows and McDonald's is right outside so noisy all night we got no sleep. There was no one at reception when we left to speak too about the issues
Staff were great - very friendly and helpful.
The bathroom was in need of refurbishment and only a shower attachment rather than a proper shower.
Friendly staff. Ground floor accommodation. Good location. Supplying fans during a heat wave.
No air con, only fans, during a heat wave. Quilts without a top sheet is ridiculous bedding during a heat wave.
Clean, comfortable, not too hot despite hot weather
Location in services area
Everything in room you needed , nice breakfast
Nothing
The staff
Breakfast was good. Location was great for our our purposes.
Very comfortable and the staff were friendly and welcoming our third time staying at this location and we will again
We loved our stay at the comfort in - hubby and I and our three foster children. They were very good about phoning us to arrange a joining rooms which was very much appreciated. The breakfast was great and we have no complaints what so ever! Great to be close to the petrol station shop for all your cheeky snack requirements.
Some lunatic running around in and out of the hotel with no shirt, then laid on the floor and started having a conversation with the bin.
Felt like a prison cell
The location was great it was very comfortable and the beds where comfortable
It didn't have a lift
Great location for what I needed
No aircon - it was stifling hot. The McDonald’s next door was very noisy
Breakfast very nice. Really enjoyed it.
Everything was lovely we really enjoyed everything there Staff were lovely. Makes a big difference.
Het ontbijtbuffet was gewoon goed, er was een redelijk uitgebreide keuze.
De locatie. Er zijn geen diner mogelijkheden op de locatie anders dan een McDonalds.
Location
Clean
Great hotel a little way from Arundel which suited us otherwise great hotel for value service and buffet breakfast
Nothing
Staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Need more people like these guys 🙂
Showers need sorting out
Good 👍
Good 👍
The twin room we had was at the back of the hotel so was quiet despite being next to services - Petrol station, Greggs, McDonalds. The room exceeded our expectations with comfy beds and lovely bathroom with power shower (hand held and rain shower head) The breakfast was buffet style and had cereals, toast, hot food and tea/coffee station. There was a bar there if you would like a drink in the evening. The location being outside of Arundel meant we had to drive in for visit and evening meals but we always found parking places
The T.V. didn't always get reception which was slightly annoying. Would have liked some fresh fruit salad at breakfast to go with yoghurts.
Showers very powerful.
Breakfast was good but could have done with more cold options
staff very good 100 %
THE ROOM WAS OUTDATED LIKE TV .BEDS .CARPETS DECOR. BATHROOM AND THE KETTLE WENT DOWN TWICE TO GET NEW ONE BUT ALL THE SAME NOISE AND SHOUTING STILL 3.00 OCLOCK IN THE MORNING ON AND OFF
