    Unfortunately the rooms are on the small side and very compact. Very small car parking space.

    Location was good for where I had to be.

    The decor in the pub.

    Nice size room for two. Great location for access to Sussex University. The staff were polite. The pub itself was a little on the rougher side...but safe and pleasant.

    The only thing really was the parking and the rooms being cold on arrival.

    Parking was horrendous, small amount of space in front of the pub but it was full when we arrived, street parking was really busy nearby too. The lady who booked us in was very friendly. I asked about food as the sign outside the pub advertised pub food however I was pointed to a nearby takeaway and told they didn't do food in the pub. The rooms were cold but radiators in there so did get it warmed up. The TV signal was bad but I wasnt too bothered by that, others may be. The bed was really hard for me but others may like that so thats one of those things you cant please everyone. One of our rooms had a little fridge but the other one didn't. The easily accessible bottled water was a nice touch in the entrance. I probably would stay there again if I needed to be in the area.

    The location is exactly next to the pub, so we could hear music in the rooms till late. Were just 3 parking slots or you can park behind the 3 cars but if someone wants to get out you need to move the car or you get stuck there. Near, it’s a street were you can park for free between 9am-8pm.

    The rooms were small but comfortable and we had everything we needed plus a little fridge,coffee,tea,water,shampoo.The rooms were clean (few spiders net on the wall) and the tv has netflix. 1 minute away it’s a kebab(absolutely delicious) and a little shop where you can buy food &drinks.

    A nice and comfortable stay away from the city centre

    • Stayed 1 night

    The carpet in the corridors leading to the room needs a good clean. There were minor nuisances. For instance, the duvet was too short, and I had to choose whether to have my feet or my shoulders covered. Also, the password for the wi-fi is not reported correctly in the informative sheet in the room.

    The hotel is very close to where I work. The room was recently renovated, clean and well-equipped. The bathroom was quite modern and perfectly working. Staff were very friendly. A nice and comfortable stay after all. I will come back again if I can.

    Being picky I would say staying directly above the pub meant it was a bit noisy BUT I expected this as I knew it was above the pub and in fairness it quietens down once the pub closes which isn’t that late either

    I was visiting my daughter at uni and I was looking for something cheap and close to her accommodation which the Ruby is. The room was very clean and well maintained and the bed was comfortable with modern bathroom facilities also.

    Gateway entrance was tight squeezing between a recovery truck and 2 fridge freezers. Towels smelt damps n weird, not clean. Carpet was roughly DIY fitted and wasnt very clean. Nowhere to hang clothes

    15 minute walk to festival we were attending, takeaway, cafe and shop (off license) within 20 steps. Fridge in room Elctric fan and heater Shower was pretty decent pressure and temperature.

    The very loud noise coming from the live band. The room was nice. Definitely over priced and we should have been informed that no food was available.

    No food available at the accommodation which was disappointing.

    At just over £100 a night breakfast should have been included! Very small room with no wardrobe just 1 bent wire hanger to hang over bathroom door that we shared! Bedding was awful with only 2 flat pillows & bedding including the mattress was well tired with marks on. Understood it’s a pub but quite noisy outside drinking until gone midnight. Didn’t like disposable cups & wooden stirrers for tea & coffee in room

    Location was ok, room decor was bright & clean young gentlemen was more than helpful with our issues
