    In spite of extensive recent interior refurbishments, this attractive Grade II Georgian listed…read morebuilding is in keeping with its surroundings and retains a smart presence. With rooms on three floors, take the stairs and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the elegant sweeping 18th century Adam staircase; on the walls - of the first floor - you'll discover memorabilia dating back to the time of the original owner, Admiral George Murray, who served with Nelson. Bedrooms are sympathetically restored, with an unobtrusive modern touch, in warm neutral tones. There's a flat-screen TV on the wall, comfy chairs to relax in, a good supply of quality wooden hangers (although only wall hooks, rather than a closed wardrobe) to hang your clothes on and a sleek, efficient kettle together with tea and coffee supplies to prepare hot drinks with. The bathroom is simple and white, comfortable enough (and very clean) with courtesy (ginseng-enriched) products. Rooms still use a traditional key system and have a name as well as a number. I was concerned that sounds from the (quite noisy) old-fashioned, gate-style, lift might be intrusive but happily that wasn't the case. Views from my window (at the back of the hotel) were of buildings and the car park with verdant hills in the distance. Reception staff were efficient, smiling, helpful, welcoming and obliging. Well-deserved of its three star rating; decent value (even better if you get a special offer deal) and a very pleasant, convenient place to stay in the centre of Chichester and for access to other parts of West Sussex.

The location is ideal: within the old city walls and a very short walk from the market cross which marks the town centre. The building itself is part of Chichester history, and has been sympathetically restored. Rooms are decorated boutique-style, in gentle colours with plantation blinds and suede accents, and amenities include a flat-screen TV, drinks tray, and lovely toiletries in the bathroom (which had both shower and bath). As well as the rather grand staircase, there is an old-fashioned lift (the sort with a sliding gate). Staff were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast included a full English along with a buffet of pastries, meat and cheese, cereal and fruit. This was eaten in The Place, a brasserie at lunch- and dinner-times; there is an adjoining bar with open fire.
