This was our second stay, so that says something. The rooms are spacious with ample cupboards. The bathroom was also spacious and clean. The Vestry is in the heart of the city and has allocated parking spaces just behind the hotel. We like early nights, so we avoided the music 'til 3am nights - although there are ear-=plugs available! For those who want it there is a wide variety of cooked breakfast available.

Because there was no shelf near the bathroom's two-pin shaver socket, we couldn't charge toothbrushes there. The shampoo and shower gel are fixed at standing shower height - so not very convenient for taking a a bath.

The Vestry is a terrific location for ease getting around the main centre of Chichester and getting to the Festival Theatre on foot. The rooms are a good size with very comfortable beds. Bathrooms are a bit old fashioned but clean. The shower worked well. Nice towels and complimentary toiletries. I have stayed at the Vestry several times and have never been disappointed. The staff are genuinely friendly.

It can be noisy in the evening because it is on a main street and above a pub which hosts club nights Thursday - Saturday. The venue is clear about these events so no one is surprised but it can still be a bit daunting getting through the crowd of people to enter the hotel section. They do have security and overall it is well organised, so NOT a dealbreaker - just something to bear in mind. The free disposable ear plugs are welcome :)

Superb location between station and Cathedral. Rooms above a pub, but earplugs thoughtfully provided. Very pleasant and well-equipped room. Nice bath. Reception manned, and breakfast served, by a thoroughly efficient and friendly staff member.

Can't blame the hotel for a heatwave that struck southern England on the day I arrived, though if I'd foreseen it I should have chosen a hotel with air conditioning. The room heated up in the afternoon and remained unpleasantly warm on my first night - though that wasn't the management's fault. Net curtains would have been good, though, since the thick curtains blocked out any cooler air there might have been, but drawing no curtains at all would have made it difficult to wear as little as the heat made one want to wear!

Free parking available. Easy to find. Friendly and quick check in and check out. Two key cards provided. Room clean, spacious and lots of tea, coffee, milk, biscuits provided. Very large and comfortable double bed. Large bathroom with bath and shower plus plenty of soap, shampoo. Great for the centre of town. Large breakfast provided: cereals, fruit juice, yoghurt, fresh fruit plus a range of cooked options.

The noise from the venue downstairs is massive and unrelenting until about 3am. We'd had quite a few drinks, got in at midnight and slept through most of it. But I think most people would find it difficult to sleep with this amount of noise without something to knock them out.

Breakfast was excellent, cheerfully served and a good selection of fresh food. All the staff we encountered during our stay were friendly and proactive. Lovely big room and spacious bathroom. Well stocked hospitality tray in our room.

We were warned that Thursday could be disco noisy until the early hours, earplugs were thoughtfully provided, but the noise exceeded all expectations. There is nothing that can be done about this (even the bed shook!) But ensure that the warning is made VERY prominent in promotional material. Would stay again if a stay could avoid 'noisy' nights.

The location is excellent , a short walk from The station and into town . Lots of restaurants and bars nearby . Staff were exceptionally helpful. There is ample amounts of tea, coffee , milk and sugar in the room and cans of water .

Just a few very small things, there was no shower gel in the bathroom, the bottle was empty , shame that’s not checked when rooms are serviced. Also the towels really smelt of fried food which wasn’t very pleasant after a shower. There are also not enough plug sockets in the rooms for charging various devices.

The room itself was lovely and the bed really comfortable. The bathroom was really clean and the water pressure was amazing. Check in was easy and entry to the hotel was simple. I left something in the room and they bagged it up and kept it for me to collect a few days later. Staff were lovely and really responsive.

The parking was confusing and I had to pay £30 to park the night as there were no spaces with the hotel. You can also hear the bars below through the windows.

The location was brilliant, the room was clean and cosy, the staff were brilliant and the breakfast was excellent the sausages were really good quality and if I could cook my poached eggs I would have them more often. The staff wished him happy birthday and gave him a bottle of prosecco from the staff at The Vestry totally unexpected but very nice.

Staff very good, and checkin and breakfast were managed efficiently and very well. The room was large and clean, the bed very comfortable and the whole place friendly and welcoming

I made a mistake in booking on a Thursday night, when The Vestry has a music license until 3am, and loud music could be heard in the room I was in (no 1). Earplugs were offered in the room but I am deaf and travel with an assistance dog, and cannot impeded what is left of my hearing at night, so I cannot use ear plugs. I am not complaining about this; I just didn't read the terms of the booking carefully enough. I have stayed at this venue before but have always had a room at the back before and the music was not a problem.

The staff were exceptional. Very helpful and went beyond. The lady serving us in the morning worked very hard and had so much to do... could really do with 2 serving In the morning...she was rushed off her feet but continued to smile!!

The music from Chantry a few doors away was so loud...the music didn't stop till 3.03 am!!! Loud noises from people leaving there could be heard in the street below our window. The window didn't close due to a screw stopping the closure...there was secondary double in place but unfortunately this didn't stop the continuous loud noise from the place up the road!! Why music till 3am? Really???
