Breakfast had a nice selection of cooked meals and cereals. Location was not optimal but perfectly functional.

Thecheesaman United Kingdom

This is a historical building that has been made really comfortable for modern travel. It is within a few minutes walk from the railway station and only five minutes or so walk from the Cathedral and the central Market Cross. The room (No. 9 - John Arundel) was spacious, with character, and the breakfast was really excellent. Chichester itself is a lovely historical city to visit and The Vestry is where we would stay again. For those keen on books, Kim's bookshop just along the road is a wonderland.

Crispin United States of America

All very satisfactory. Pleasant staff very accommodating breakfast very good too. Very central one draw back no lift.

Phyl United Kingdom

Excellent add-ons in the room, loads of tea, coffee, milk, bottle of water, biscuits, little chocolates, better than some higher starred hotels with excellent space in the room Breakfast was great and for a small place, a wide choice. Happy Hour between 4 and 8 was good and all the staff we encountered were extremely helpful.

David Malta

Reception and Bar staff very good. food good quality but see notes below

Liz United Kingdom

The room was huge, which was a nice surprise. We had been traveling around England, and most of the rooms were tiny with challenging bathrooms. This place had a beautiful and spacious room and a large bathroom. Breakfast was great, too. The attached restaurant is smokey, and as we went up to our room we were worried that the smoke would permeate all through the building, but our room was very far away from the restaurant, and we weren't bothered at all by smoke or noise. Chocolates on the pillow were a nice touch.

Leigh United States of America

Staff are good. The location is great and provides a good breakfast. The rooms are functional and it's a nightclub. I didn't mind that.

Martyn United Kingdom

This was a bit sad,as breakfast not delivered till 9.30 far too late. However these are covid times. I just loved my room, cosy, clean and homey. a little old=fashioned but with character , Loved having a bath so many places only have showers. perfect location ,reassured if i had any problem someone would be at hand to help. have stayed here before when breakfast was delicious. So very much better than chain hotels, mattresses may not have been of top quality but didn't affect me at all.

Margaret United Kingdom

The location, cleanliness, breakfast and staff where excellent especially Bryony

Jonas United Kingdom

The breakfast here is superb, only downside is that because of Covid it was from 9am, which was ok for us as just having a few days away, but you may have to ask before booking if it's possible before if you are travelling for work! The room was lovely with great big bathroom with bath and shower!! Didn't hear much from pub from where we were! This is in great location as very close to both bus station and train station for days out or work!! Right in among shops and short walk from Cathedral!

Nicola United Kingdom

Located in Chichester center, The Vestry features cooked breakfasts and free Wi-Fi. Just 1,000 feet from Chichester Cathedral, the hotel has a lively bar open daily until 22:00 and a restaurant. Guests will therefore experience noise in their room until this time.

The individual rooms at Vestry Chichester each have a private modern bathroom, TV and tea/coffee facilities. Some rooms have super king-size beds or spa baths, and all feature a hairdryer.

The traditional bar offers real ales and regularly hosts live music events.

The Vestry is a 5-minute walk from the Tudor Market Cross, and 1,000 feet from Pallant House Art Gallery. Full of history and character, Chichester’s shops and restaurants can be reached in just a few minutes’ walk.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
