stayed at this hotel for 1 knight only,,,
our room needed a complete refurb in my opinion,the bar was pricey but thats what you expect on the south coast,breakfast was ok thats all,when we checked in at 2pm our room wasn,t cleaned i put that down to under staffed,,,the bed was very hard and lumpy ,our room
was spacious and roomy thats really the only positive i have ,,,
,at £100 for 1 knight you do expect some comforts at least, if i was going to stay in worthing again i wouldn,t pick this hotel,,,

The Kingsway hosted me at short notice for 2 nights this weekend. As other reviewers have mentioned, if you need the decor to be absolutely flawless and in up-to-the minute fashions in order to have a good stay then this is not the hotel for you. If on the other hand what matters is a warm, clean, dry place to sleep, lovely staff, pets welcome and a decent breakfast then you're on to a bit of a winner here. The hotel only has very limited off-street parking (5 or 6 spaces and - alas - none designated for disabled guests) but it's far enough along the seafront from the pier and town centre that there's usually plenty of room on-street; free with vouchers provided by the hotel.

I'm a powered wheelchair user with severe, complex impairments and consequently with my arrival the hotel also had to deal with overseeing the delivery and setting-up of 3 large items of assistive technology, hired from an independent company. Most hotels balk at this sort of thing - don't try it with a Holiday Inn! - but the Kingsway barely batted an eyelid and by the time I arrived it was all sorted. The 'disabled' room I stayed in was generously large and with a beautiful sea view from the bed - bliss - but would-be independent disabled travellers be warned: the lift will only and I really do mean only just fit a standard NHS 'high needs' powerchair in it, with no room for a companion. Users of standard manual wheelchairs would be fine, if your chair's longer than average then you need to ring up and check. The bathroom although recently redone and sparkling with plenty of well-placed grab-rails was a very tight fit indeed, with only a bath provided - check before you book though, as the manager was making VERY positive noises about further work to improve the standards of accessibility - that positive attitude pervaded throughout my stay and that and that alone is what will see me returning to the hotel. It's rare to find a hotel that genuinely, actively welcomes disabled guests rather than merely tolerating the fact that they can't legally refuse us service any more - that very much more than outweighs some 'vintage' paintwork!

Fabby breakfast both mornings - I had a full vegetarian the first day and a perfectly respectable mushrooms on toast the next. Knocks spots off most of the cheaper chains on that account.

The hotel room is a good size, but the tv is small, the bathroom is realy very, very small and need to be renovated, the carpet is old too. The good things are that it was clean and the staff is nice and helpfull. It doesn't deserve the price we paid for the room.

Two couples and a single stayed here to attend a wedding in the area. The hotel is a warren of corridors in several old house, with no obvious pattern to the room numbering (quite fun if you like that sort of thing). It is shabby and a lot of decoration and furnishing needs money spending on it. The free parking is useful. If their spaces are full they will give you a street permit. One room had a defective shower. The other two were fine. There is a basic but pleasant bar and lounge area. Breakfast was good with a fair choice of fry-up items available; not so good if you want continental. Staff were helpful and friendly. The costs of the rooms reflected the hotel's age and for the area was very good value.
