Having read the reviews I was not over optimistic so was happily surprised when we got there. This IS a pub not a hotel, and as a pub it was of a very good standard. The room was clean, the staff were friendly and you can get a decent pint! I spoke to the owner about the reviews and she... more

This was the only place we found that you could book for one night only. Our room was small and located over the back of the kitchens. Yes it is really is just a pub with rooms, but that was all we wanted. Didn't want to pay £150+ per night for Brighton centre as we were only there for a... more

The Downs Hotel Before I continue my review, I must point out that this is not a hotel by any stretch of the imagination. It is however, a pub with rooms above! So….

Meal was adequate. - Car park on site, free, spacious. - Wireless was good,... more

We struggled to find a room in Brighton for 1 night only on a Friday as most places require minimum 2 night stay at weekends so when we stumbled upon the attractive website for the Downs Hotel in Woodingdean, just a couple of miles outside Brighton we thought we were onto a winner - how wrong we were. The Downs... more
