East Pallant Bed and Breakfast, Located in Large Georgian Townhouse in Central Chichester

Prime Location: Centrally located in Chichester, near theaters, galleries, and city attractions, offering convenience for tourists.

Getting to the carpark was very difficult - it is accessed via a complicated route through a public carpark - and the parking area was cramped. Worse still, our parking place was under a large tree and in the morning the car was spattered with masses of bird droppings. I appreciate that this is outside the B&B's control but I would not recommend it to anyone coming by car. The B&B is "unmanned" so entry is by keypad locks which are quite awkward to use. At the front of the house, entry is only through a side door which takes you through to the back of the building where you need to use another keypad lock to get into the house. Although essentially a fine building, there is an institutional feel, with lots of little signs on the walls telling you what you can and cannot do. Our bedroom, although large, looked "tired" and dull. One of the three bulbs in the chandelier was not working and we had to ring the manager to find out how to switch on the bedside lights as the flex which supplied their power had been left unplugged in the socket which was on another wall and not obvious. The shower room was dated, with peeling paint and mould on the sealant. A used towel from a previous guest had been left hanging inside the door. There was no extractor fan in the shower room and no opening window. This may all sound nitpicking, but our room cost £200 and we were expecting a degree of luxury, so were very disappointed. The only positives were that the staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was perfectly OK.
