Basic, cheap but clean accommodation, perfect for a 1 or 2 night stay. I didn’t eat here so can’t comment on the food.
Walking distance to local shops and various takeaways, petrol station just down the road and bus stop right outside.
Large car park.
Beautiful views of the coastline.
Would consider staying here again.

Disappointing!
I had booked a room which included cooked breakfast. On arrival was told no chef no food. I was handed a breakfast bag containing a croissant, cereal bar, cocoa pops (i must of looked 5 years old) and half carton of milk which was warm by the morning. No apology no offer of a refund. Small towel was discoloured and shower head was rusty. All in all not impressed at all!!
The staff were very friendly and the hotel room was quite clean but the building itself was quite run down and not particularly clean. The bedroom windows were covered in bird poo. I think it was a reasonable price for 3 people to stay there and there was plenty of car parking space but if you want a fancy hotel this isn’t it.
I booked the room late as it advertised a restaurant - not available due to staff shortages and no notification before, during or after booking. Not impressed.
The room was cold - there was a second heater so that tells the story and the bathroom was freezing so that where the extra heater went.
The room and bathroom condition was poor.
It advertised free wifi but it was impossible to connect and I was next to the main building (pub) - not impressed.
Free parking was useful.
I left before breakfast which I expected but start time is 08:00 which is quite late.
I would not stay here again.

Stayed in one of the small solo rooms while travelling for business, although the staff were friendly and the breakfast very nice not much else good can be said.
No evening food was being served although it was advertised online and outside
The room opened to the smoking area, the loud locals can't be helped but the small blind gave little privacy.
The water temperature was lukewarm at best and the door to the bathroom struck the bed every time it was opened
I'm sure the more expensive rooms are fine but for a single traveller, I would avoid

No food at the inn
No evening food available due to no kitchen staff. No mention of this at booking, room very basic and consistent noise from something throughout the night.
Breakfast was available and the guy was lovely and breakfast ok.
Good service, clean, public transport close by!!! Thank you

A pleasant surprise
Chose this hotel because of a) its proximity to Sussex University and b) the low price.
My modest expectations were exceeded: the staff were really friendly and helpful, the bar was pleasant, and the room - while small and slightly shabby - was very clean.
My only criticism is that breakfast didn't start until 9am on Saturday (an hour after I had to leave) so I missed starting the day with a full English.

Great value for money, super friendly staff and would say price point spot on.
Even had a lovely sea view, which was a great surprise
Would not and could not fault the Downs hotel. Was absolutely perfect for my needs. Great value for money, friendly staff, lovely cooked breakfast, and free on site parking. I regard this place as a real find and will be booking again :)
Hotel was shabby from outside... An old pub which could do with updating. Room was nice and clean and modern and very comfortable. Full English breakfast was good in morning. Staff friendly. Noisy road at front so need windows shut at night. All in all a nice affordable stay thank you.
