This is a really beautiful, family run hotel just slightly set back from the sea front in Worthing. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable indeed. The breakfast was one of the best I've had, extremely tasty, quality ingredients, well presented and piping hot! I was also taken by the interior design especially in the restaurant and lounge areas.
Unusual and stylish without being too quirky for the sake of it as you often get in hotels. The colours in the restaurant were calm, soothing and totally in keeping with the period features. No expense has been spared on the soft furnishings. The owner is a charming and interesting fellow, he took time to chat to us in the morning. I would highly recommend The Ardington Hotel, I will certainly be back and next time will try the restaurant, the menu looked stunning.

Door requires locking with the key which is a bit unusual. Room was lovely. Clean and spacious. Bathroom, clean and shower power was amazing. Breakfast was very good. Location perfect.

I quite liked the room but it was too cramped for two single beds and had no armchair. The bathroom too was small and the shower nearly impossible as the grab rail was on the right. It would have been better for balance straight ahead or on the left above the tap. The hotel was really nice and I would go back to a more spacious room with an armchair.

The rooms are very dated and a lot of road noise from the road outside. Parking is hit and miss having to park on the side of the road. The guy on reception was ignorant and rude. The key system is terrible having to hand the key in every time you go out or walk around with a oversized key ring. The front door was locked with no key you had to ring for someone to let you in. Overall not a pleasant experience and couldn't wait to get out of there. Theres plenty of hotels here do yourself a favour and try one of the others.

Super stay in a nice independent hotel. Comfy room, well maintained. Friendly staff, great breakfast. Only yards from the beach and town centre. The restaurant looked popular, we will definitely book in for dinner next time.

Everyone was so helpful. Also the bed was very comfortable, lovely room. Thanks so much for a lovely time. I'll definitely come again. Highly recommend this lovely hotel.
