    Only minor as the staff and service were very good, but they did appear to be unnecessarily overly prescriptive on their admin ‘rules’’. Having to pre book a time for breakfast was irritating, especially as when we arrived at that time to find a queue and it otherwise empty, so suggest you try not booking a round time like 8am or just ignore. Dinner was similarly pointless in some respects, they said they were open to 8.30 for tables but when we then asked to book it turned out it was actually 8.15 that was the latest, not a problem they could just have said 8.15 in the first place but they then didn’t take our order until 8.45 anyway and didn’t have a closing time.

    Great location in the middle of Arundel high st. Easy car parking behind even for a large car, £6 for 24hrs (1pm-1pm). Nice hotel restaurant, white linen table cloths etc and a restaurant menu or their pub bar menu both served in there.

    A little bit more luxury for the room price.

    The staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient. Nice, friendly and funny man behind the bar on our arrival while we waited for our check in time. Didn't get his name but he was very welcoming and made us laugh. The Norfolk hotel we found was expensive for the rooms we got. We have paid a less for rooms which are more up to date, more nicely furnished etc. Breakfast was a separate charge, as was parking. I appreciate that Arundel is expensive for accommodation, we just felt that the rooms could have been more nicely furnished. The bathroom needed some TLC for example. Having said that we loved our stay there. Breakfast for £12.50 per person was good. Plenty of choice on the menu and on the continental buffet too. Drinks were fairly priced in the Tap Bar and the Hotel is very central to all of Arundel's attractions and we totally abandoned the car during our stay.

    There's no lift, and we were on the 3rd floor. No problem for us, but elderly or less mobile guests might want to request a room on a lower floor.

    Incredibly friendly staff.

    Perhaps having to pay for the carpark. It was quite tight but considering the age of what it was a coach house and its location, this very understandable. I recommend reading the instructions about the parking rule which are very clear, no tricks, it's what it is.

    Location, is a place with history and character. The staff are very friendly. Definitely we felt very welcome! They explained everything very well. Everything in the room worked very well. The room and bathroom were spotless. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet despite being on the ground floor.
