The Goodwood Hotel  

Truly beautiful location

Not massively inspiring room. A bit of a standard hotel room which wasn't as luxurious and modern as those shown on website.

Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful

Very friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Pleasant room

Not so much a complaint as the fact that the layout of the hotel is very convoluted and the hotel supplies a map to find your way around it.

Available facilities

The required type of accommodation booked was not available for the period required

It was very convenient for me

We specifically booked the hotel to attend Friday of Glorious Goodwood. The hotel is minutes from the entrance to the race course so a perfect location. The staff were very good about allowing us to arrive early and drop bags so we could get to the race course early even though our room was not ready. Our bags were in our room when we arrived back at the hotel. Our room was a good size and the bed very comfortable. Molton Brown toiletries were a nice touch. The spa facilities were excellent. The restaurant was very nice and the food was excellent. Breakfast the next morning was great although we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table.

It was a pity that there was a very loud and unpleasant group at another table who nearly ruined the evening. Several diners complained and management asked them to quieten down more than once which they eventually did. It was probably the wrong type of group to allow in the restaurant given the high end nature of the venue and food. The television in our room took a while to 'warm up' - we had sound, but no picture, but given we were there for the races, it was not too much of an issue. Room prices had been hiked up for Glorious Goodwood - I'm not sure the room was worth what we paid, but then we had the option of staying further out if we wanted to pay less (for less!). Everyone has to make a profit.

Excellent service and comfort

The location

Very noisy as we were in a room next to a family with small children who woke us up screaming and shouting at 6.00am on Sunday morning! It would have been better if the hotel had allocated rooms to families with children in a sepaarte part of the hotel. The rooms are not air conditioned and the hotel provided portable free standing units - far too loud to sleep. Not great value for the £175 room rate!!

The quiet atmosphere of the hotel made it a very relaxing staff. The bed was very comfortable and it was lovely to wake in the morning with the sound of birds and no traffic noise The staff are friendly but not over-bearing. The food is excellent. The leisure facilities are of a high standard.

The very large bed

Bathroom a bit dated but functional.

We had a very short stay , food good and the room vey comortable, clean, quiet and relaxing.Staff very friendly , helpful and polite. lovely people and would come back again.

a wee bit of a hike to the bedroom but nothing to really complain about.

Breakfast very good Grill restaurant also good.Service in restaurants good - ease of parking very good

Decor in room 312 rather tatty - toilet seat would not stay up - fridge/cooler didn't seem to be working - bathroom grouting obviously been patched up. Poor directions to the hotel once in the area. Informed hotel it was my wife's 75th birthday and might have expected something more than a tiny pack of chocolates of the sort which many hotels put on your pillow at night!
