YH combines a peaceful countryside location with everything needed for a comfortable trip. Walked to nearby villages and caught the train from Southease station to get further afield. Staff were really helpful and we enjoyed eating at the cafe during our hassle-free visit. ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Jane Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great access to the south downs way ##### Emma Jane Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jorge Manuel Feb 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very well located and very comfortable rooms. ##### Jorge Manuel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo May 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really convinient location for South downs way walk, very helpful staff, safe, clean and comfortable.

Mattress a little hard ##### Sue Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### CLAIRE May 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Convenient but overpriced Stayed here whilst walking the south downs way. Food was very good both evening and breakfast. Beds very uncomfortable, plastic matress makes you very hot. Quite noisy as near main road and unmanned railway station next to it means trains use their horns everytime the pass. Charge 4\* hotel prices for private room with a bunkbed. ##### CLAIRE Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### SUI PIK Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Traffic noise and power failure inside room the power supply stopped as circuit breaker tripped at around 22:00 .... the electric roof window cannot be closed leaving the room suffered from extremetraffice noise throughout the night. all bedside lights and wall power sockets failed. ##### SUI PIK Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alan Jul 5, 2023 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great location, could be improved with better mgmt Beautiful location with lovely views from the garden. Very convenient for Newhaven ferry and for walking on the South Downs. Welcome at check in was not great. Two staff members ignored us whilst taking their time to finish their conversation first. Lack of attention to detail. Light fittings had dozens of dead flies. Not cleaned for months. One ceiling light in our private room did not work. Also one of the bedside lamps didn't work. Bath screen allowed the shower to leak all over the floor and corridor carpet. Bathroom floor was dirty. Kitchen had a faulty cooker. Several spiders in the bathroom and bedroom. We had dinner at restaurant and food was excellent. Such a shame that 3 staff members were chatting with each other and loudly berating previous clients while we were eating. Not a nice atmosphere, unfortunately. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/78D2B9985EDCCD75CE174239BD6B6A0E1C48B1A71688572376903.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0C7C616AB5838041B8BC673459D0A5BBC800DD801688572375384.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FA8820FBF4BB5DDB302B79B7765ACC6A8B02DD981688572376919.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pavla Nov 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort everything very clean. ##### Pavla Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### URSULA Nov 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff were fabulous.

It was really useful that there is a very nearby train station. I enjoyed exploring the incredible nature surrounding the hostel, but a trip into the city was made easy too. I definitely reccomend and i'll be back next time i'm in the area ##### michael Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard May 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay for the price The stay was very good overall for the price. Staff were friendly, the hot full english breakfast was really good, the room was ok all be it a bit on the small side and is just a bumk bed with nothing else, a little table or a stool would have been uswful. The sheets were clean and the beds comfy, only thing was its right next to the road and the cars going by are loud however they did put a pair of ear plugs in the room although this was more for if people snored. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dr M J Jan 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very clean and friendly accomodation.
