Top South Downs Planetarium and Science Centre Hotel Reviews

Chichester Lakeside Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Another excellent stay. I’ll be booking this again in the coming weeks."

The Goodwood Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The experience was great but the property was overheated"

The Bulls Head

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely room and the food was excellent"

The Nags Head

8/10 Good

"Good Busy Hotel. Stairs to rooms a bit tired and windows in the room need a good clean but it's fine and the Staff were helpful and nice Breakfast"

The Chichester Inn

8/10 Good

"Whole stay was good value for money. Room was clean and tidy with a good breakfast. Staff polite and helpful. The only one thing was a little disappointed about was I was told they close at 11pm to find when I got back from Ocltoberfest at 10:35 they had closed the bar and I could not get a last drink before bed."

Travelodge Chichester Central

8/10 Good

"It was in an excellent position in the centre of the town."

The George & Dragon Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great value for money very central in Chichester. Perfect for our overnight stay."

LA B and B Guest Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly, responsive owners and a great place to stay."

Little Orchard Bed and Breakfast Chichester

8/10 Good

"This property is in an excellent location for Chichester centre and for Goodwood Racecourse. The owner was lovely. Friendly and approachable. Cleanliness is a priority for us and this accommodation was first class. Breakfast options were varied to suit all tastes and we loved the fresh fruit (not always the case in many places we have visited). It was a relaxing environment to start the day, especially chatting about Art. We have learned so much about Sculpture and certain Sculptors after our visit! 😂. The only thing to mention for future visitors is the lack of a fan in the room (we had a spacious luxury room overlooking the back garden). Due to the heatwave, it was quite unbearable during our 4 night stay despite having taken our own small fan. We would never book anywhere abroad without air conditioning and sadly, Uk is now facing such extreme temps."
