Arundel Homestays

This was our second stay here over recent years which was convenient for our plans. Since our first stay the hotel has come out of the Hilton group. The check-in receptionist was very pleasant & helpful. Our request for a quiet room was met. A wedding on each of our two days was at the far end of the building away from our bedroom. I have to agree with another reviewer - the bedroom doors should not slam so loudly. This needs investigation & resolution. This time breakfast was good - plenty of choice including fresh fruit, cereals, cooked breakfast etc. Coffee machines not great but does mean you can refill mug when you wish. Evening meal quite tasty but food could have been hotter. Waiting staff were friendly.Our bottles of water & biscuits on the hospitality tray were supplied for the first day only. We were a hand towel short for our second day. We were glad that bathroom products were in large, fixed dispensers rather than tiny plastic bottles. The hotel continues its refurbishment programme. Maybe we will return when it has been completed.

FIRSTLY the Wi Fi across the hotel was dreadful. Free it may have been, but it also failed to load most of the time. made local researching very difficult. SECONDLY, vegetarian options were sorely lacking. just 2 dishes, one burger and one fish. Situation made worse because the main lunch / dinner menu doesn't change much. This meant we ate out of the hotel in town, instead of staying 'in' for dinner, where we could have played games and had a few drinks in the bar instead. Really disappointing veggie menu (and if you're vegan, honestly, don't bother!) THIRD issue is that our room, at the end of the block was much colder than our friends' room. Ours had 2 windows, was only single glazed, and only one radiator, so understandable, but was really noticeable as we moved around the rooms. Having said all that, the hotel had good parking, nice vibe, and was friendly enough. Breakfast was good.

Check-In was a breeze. Room came with fan (which is a god send in these humid evenings). Provided with more bottled water in the evening after finishing the water provided within the room. Pros: Very hospitable / provided extras / overall friendly service Cons: No mini fridge in room (I often bring snacks and drinks for my stay). Extended my check-out for £25.00 from 11am til 1pm . Breakfast is £12.50 per person, but we opted out after eating at the Italian restaurant across the street (very filling).

Staff service was average, room was large and clean, a bit out of the way but very cheap and cheerful. Didn’t try the food but the vending machine was well stocked
