The Roundabout Hotel

The room was very comfortable and homely. I was woken by a droning noise which on inspection was coming from either a boiler or air conditioning unit outside by the kitchen area. I put the tv on low to cover it and did go back to sleep. The check in was smooth and friendly. Unfortunately the heating wasn’t working but the site manager came over and discovered that the boiler wasn’t working so there was no hot water or heating. I was offered another room but I had already unpacked and it was late so he brought me another blanket. I would definitely stay here again as the hotel is lovely and service excellent. Okay there was a problem, but sometimes things like I had do happen but it’s how things are dealt with are important.

This is a wonderful old hotel with lovely old beams and lots of nooks and crannies, room was great, staff were great and food was great. An ideal base for Arundel and the South Downs.

We found the staff welcoming and friendly. The rooms were comfortable with everything one would need for a short stay. The breakfast buffet bar simply groaned with a huge range of cold food and drinks and there was a good menu for cooked alternatives. We were only able to fit in one evening meal and we went for the specials choosing fish for both starter (trout paté) and for mains – as we were near the sea, we decided on ‘catch of the day’ which turned out to be sea bass. The latter was both delicious and substantial – being presented to us by the very competent chef. This certainly was the highlight of our visit.
