Overall Ratings & Reviews Downs Hotel

great location, friendly staff and good food

We have stayed now on several occasions and its friendly and very comfortable. It would be nice if they recognised we have stayed before but staff don't seem to be informed. The location is ideal for us as we have family nearby

Wonderful full English breakfasts and meals generally good and service positive.

We loved our time

Probably the worst room location I have ever stayed in It was outside the hotel on path to garden and on main road with a door to the room with a very small window and a blind at the door not fitting so let in light Toilet leaking all night on first night fixed by manager next morning asked for different room was told non available Had no choice but to stay as it we had to stay to see someone Room number 7 Food was good

By far the best hotel in the area. I could not recommend any other.

Overall a positive experience, room, food, location all good. Our only slight concern was not being aware prior to arrival that there were no members of staff on the premises overnight. We only became aware when being told extra details around fire procedures & being asked to sign to say we understood the procedure. When rechecking the booking we could not find anything that actually stated guests would not have staff on site overnight only again information around fire procedures, feel this is misleading & should be made clear before booking.

Other reviews gave it 9 out of 10 how I don’t get it

Very friendly hotel. Rooms are clean and fresh. Food is good. Its next to a busy road but soundproofing is very good. Short 10 min drive to Brighton

Very british friendly pub and hotel convenient to glyndebourne

Lovely clean tidy rooms , nice breakfast, plenty of parking and bus stops 2 minutes away regular service to and from the city of Brighton and just £3 per trip

Lovely people, lovely food, lovely hotel and a great night's sleep.

Great room and breakfast, we really enjoyed staying here and will definitely stay again

Staff are great - friendly and helpful. Rooms I booked were ok based on price and amenities. Location of rooms I booked dreadful. Accessed directly from outside and 1 in particular with a window next to the cross roads and traffic lights on a very busy road. Noise unacceptable through both the door and the window - felt a bit like Harry Potter fitted in under the stairs. The roller blind / blackout blind on the door is a waste of time as the door closure mechanism at the top of the door meant the blind starts part way down the door and light streams through as soon as day breaks and the bed is sited directly in front so it hits you right in the face. Very disappointing overall. Breakfast was good.

Great stay, comfortable room with all amenities. Great nights sleep, super fresh breakfast with relaxed friendly staff. Maybe a few areas could have paint refreshed, but only superficial.

Wonderful hotel, great team, friendly and professional. The hotel, bar and restaurant are beautiful decorated, very comfortable. Food and service was excellent.

Flawless

We enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and nice, the curtains were proper blackout so we could sleep really well. the food was great and the staff were amazing .

We stayed in a triple room. My wife and I, two boys (11&13) and our dog. The staff were friendly and the room was well equipped and done up to a nice standard, with a lovely view across the Downs towards the sea. We have an evening meal which was very nice. And the included breakfast was also top notch. For the price, I could not fault it, and would certainly recommend staying here.

Well impressed
