Hickstead Hotel

A good solid hotel. Receptionist very welcoming even at such a late hour of the night. A wedding reception was still in full swing at midnight. Great transport links on to the A23

Lovely reception staff, great parking, hotel nice and clean and quiet. Didn't eat so unable to comment. Room was nice and clean and bed comfy, shower good pressure. Not enough plug sockets, only 2 spare and 1 was used for the fan (hotel provided as hot and no aircon), so struglle to charge 2 phones. Room nice but bit dated/tatty.

This hotel is lovely. We came here for a wedding . Fantastic venue and really great friendly professional staff . The hotel is immaculately clean. the rooms are spacious . The food served was perfection . I’m not sure how they got so many fish dishes out and cooked them so delicately . Impeccable .

Catering mothers day it was OK. Finger sandwiches very basic with the crusts on. Cream cheese in smoked sal.on sandwich was not cream cheese but pureed cottage cheese. Yuk. Rest was mediocre and sat at its 3 star level. Staff were all pleasant but lounge off the reception area smelt like something had died under the floor boards.

Cheap and cheerful, didn’t expect much given the price and reviews but I have to say the rooms where better than expected and the staff so very helpful, my only downside was the breakfast, buffet breakfast with little options, most of the Tins were empty or only dregs left so a bit disappointed from that but otherwise if you need a bed for the night I would recommend

I stayed here with my family whilst attending a convention at the Amex in Brighton. The rooms were extremely clean, the breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend this hotel, and will be back again next year. Thank you.

First the staff - they are not at fault and are helpful nice people. The hotel...where do you start, old, tired, carpets scruffy & stained, bedding feels stale, cant open the windows (Health & safety) so stuffy and airless, towels the same as the carpets. Decent shower to be fair and parking is great but burgers like ice hockey pucks, salt overload and a chef that went home before we could order dessert at 9.30! Breakfast average and for the price this isnt worth the money. Only stayed there because I couldnt get in my usual hotel and it was a great reminder of why we stopped using it.

Used this hotel on business pre pandemic and it has gone downhill. Rooms are dated. Beds very hard. Bathrooms tired. Restaurant…….not good at all. We were a group of 8 with only 5 other people in the restaurant. Food took ages to arrive. Burgers were like ice hockey pucks. Fish and chips dry. The worst thing was everything seemed be cover in salt….not nice at all. Then at 9.20 pm we asked for desert and were told that the chef had shut the kitchen…..unbelievable! The only good thing about the hotel is the plentiful free parking when you stay there.

Stayed for a week. Lovely large double room. Food was amazing, from the full English breakfast to my absolute favourite the sticky toffee pudding ( best I’ve ever tasted). Every member of staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for you . Beautiful setting. Will definitely be back . Thankyou 🥰
