“Alot worse than expected!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I read the reviews and didn't expect to stay at the Ritz, but when I arrive on a business stay, it was a thousand times worse than expected. When I was shown to the room that resembled a hostel, I was automatically confronted with a room that smelt of human waste. The whole place was extremely out of date and run Down, I don't think the bedding has even been cleaned since it opened in the 1920s, the toilet was a disgrace and we were given no toilet roll. The breakfast was worse than terrible, they promote the sale of famous " o'hagans" sausages which I regretfully had for breakfast which I can only describe as tasting like a chewy rotten kebab. The pub/bar was a meet for the local alcoholics that smelt of wet dog, stale ale and sweat. The service was appalling and they were very rude showed no intrest in our needs and continuously coughed in my face. My recommendation is that you stay well clear of this place and if you were in my position where everywhere else was fully booked, see if the local prison will do you a bed for the night.

“Simple and tidy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

This was just for a one night stopover to see my family nearby, you have to go into the pub to get keys and sign in, the rooms are at the back of the pub car park, which was good as well away from the road noise, the walls are thin and there is noise between the rooms.
The rooms are very basic and not very bright, but OK for what you pay, would not be keen to stay for to long, you have to pay a deposit for the remote for the tv in the room, which I felt was a bit odd, and gave an indication of the previous guests!!
Overall this would be Just Ok if you were out all day and just wanted to pitch up and shower for the night, on a redeeming note the breakfast was great and filling, it also has free parking outside, but not a lot going on in Fishborne

“Good start, bad finish.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Checked in by a nice chap who just went through the motions of showing us around. No personallity. We books a double and 2 single rooms and there was problems with each. Found the rooms basic but largish and they may have tried to beautify them by putting fresh flowers in each about 3 weeks earlier so the flowers were dead & there was no water in the vases &or smelly old water which made the rooms smell. The bathroom towels were thread bare with frayed edges and the toilet roll holder was behind the toilet out of reach. A shower was too high to reach and sprayed over the floor. A TV didn't work properly and stuck on one channel as the remote was broken. The heaters all seemed dangerous only just hanging on the walls, one didn't work and the replacement one was the as bright as daylight and could be left on at overnight in the middle of December. Tried to go and get dinner at the pub but when we tried to open the front door it was locked. When a staff member came to the window to say they were closed she was grumpy as sin and couldn't be less helpful. Do yourself a big favour don't stay here.

Room Tip: Don't.

“Insincere Staff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Cannot emphasise what a mistake any of you will make if you try to book a room in this poor establishment.
In spite of booking a year in advance for a room for self and family over Goodwood Revival weekend our reservation (confirmed in writing by Laterooms.com ) was not honoured and the staff could not have been less interested! Having now read other reviews, perhaps our dash to Comfort Inn ,Arundel was the better option.
If you are considering The Woolpack ,Chichester for anything, DON'T you will regret it.

Room Tip: Choose another pub !

“It's not that bad!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

I stayed for one night and found it a perfectly adequate place to stay.

The gent who checked me in was courteous and friendly and more than happy to offer me advice on the best walking route into Chichester (very easy, takes about 20 mins).

The room was small and basic, but clean which is all one wants for a short overnight trip.

Breakfast was better than I expected with a range of cereals, toast, fresh fruit, tea and coffee and despite it being a little bit over greasy there was a good choice of hot food also.

For a quick overnight trip to the area I'd not hesitate to stay at the Woolpack again.
