Very good

Beautiful location, very good value for money, close to train station, quiet, great breakfast, beautiful houses, great walks in the neighborhood

Personal could have been a bit more cheerful, but all was very conveniently arranged by them. The place is also close to the highway, which creates some noise pollution, though mostly in daytime

All good and as expected for the price. Only problem was a fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and when we went outside only another two guests were there and nobody came to re-assure us. After a while went back to bef

Exceptional

The hostel is extremely well run. My private room was really spacious, and the shared areas were very clean. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the hostel is perfectly located on the South Downs way for lots of walks and also near a train station if you want to head a bit further afield.

Excellent spot, great value for money, would stay again.

Lovely property, great character and facilities. The cafe was excellent especially after a long walk. Breakfast was amazing, perfect setup for a long walk along the South Downs.

Beds were slightly uncomfortable, but nothing too bad. Shower had a tendency to go cold half way through but warmed up afterwards - just a bit of a shock!
