I booked two rooms here at Easter. The price was high considering its a pub in Chichester, but it was Easter weekend and the picutures on both Expedia and the pub's own website looked lovely.Don't be decieved! It was hands down the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. It was dirty, uncomfortable, damp and smelly. The fascilities were cheap and old - like staying in a really bad, very low budget, youth hostel. I didnt want to touch anything and couldn't wait for morning to leave. And I was the lucky one. My mother's room smelt so damp and mould. Her sheets were damp and she woke with a bad cough from the moisture in the air. Rather than sneaking off and leaving a bad review, I went to speak to the manager in the morning to tell him I wasn't happy. He agreed the rooms are bad (as did his staff) but he had just taken over and was about to do lots of improvements. He said I should contact Expedia - warned me they would take forever to reply, but he would approve a part refund the rooms. I did exactly this. Expedia were very quick, he lied about this, but when I raised the complaint it was refused by the hotel. I queried this explaining that the manager had already approved it and again they refused it. As I explained to the manager it was a real shame because my father lives around the corner and his house isnt big enough for our very big family to stay so if it been nice or even satisfactory, we'd be staying there often and spending a lot of money with them.

Superb Choice for accommodation and food
Visited Chichester for one night. Chose the George and Dragon based on location and price. I was very impressed... the room, in the converted stables was very comfortable and quiet. Amazing array of tea/coffee making facilities and room very clean and well equipped. Chose to eat dinner at the pub and was extremely impressed with the food. Breakfast, as well, was very good. Good selection of drinks and real ale - a lovely friendly, homely pub. Very good location for walking into the city or for those going to the theatre. Car parking on the nearby car park very easy. I would certainly stay here again.

Avoid this place, terrible stay /bad experience
Incredibly upset with the service provided. At the time we stayed we had no electricity and no resolution was found, when the staff went to try fix the issue they just left our door open where anyone could go in. I paid a premium for the room and the bed was uncomfortable, no electricity and well over priced. The manager assured me I would be reimbursed with a small sum of £20 for my inconvenience though has since ignored my email (having sent 3 reminders) and called several times.

Good value, good staff, room needs maintenance.
Room needs maintenance, floor tiles in room lifting, broken glass in window, dripping shower. Would not take much to smarten up. Really OK for the nights stay. Plenty of coffee and tea in room. Breakfast is excellent. You really can’t complain due to the price.

Staying at the George and Dragon Inn was very good value for money as a continental / cooked breakfast was also included in the price. The rooms are spacious with ensuite bathrooms, and daily housekeeping. The room had slight cleanliness issues which is why I have marked it down compared to my previous stay (nothing major). The room was a little tired (chips in the paintwork), the arm chair had seen better days, and the window pain needs replacing. With a little TLC the team could charge a higher price, but as it stands its good value for money, and I would return again. The staff are really nice.

Unreliable booking system and tired property
Overall this property is a great location but rather tired and in need of renovation works although the rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff pleasant although had run out of several breakfast items. Main complaint is the unreliability of the booking. We initially booked last year for the Goodwood revival but were rung days before to tell us the booking was cancelled due to renovation - at such short notice nothing else was available so our weekend was spoilt. Gave the hotel the benefit of the doubt and rebooked 3 rooms for a graduation - our two rooms were fine, but the third which was booked separately was again cancelled by a phone call less than a week before. This time the booking intermediary was blamed for over-booking - a refund has still not been obtained two weeks on. For this reason I would NOT recommend this hotel as it cannot be relied upon.

Excellent value comfortable stay right in the centre of Chichester. Stable rooms at the back feel private and the side entrance means you don't have to come and go via the bar. No parking at the hotel but Chichester has several car parks including the Cattle market where you can park for 24hrs for under £10. Breakfast was a lovely treat and included smoked salmon and scambled egg or crushed advocado and poached egg as well as the more traditional full english. Will definitely be going back.

1. Parking. We arrived to find the carpark recommended by the hotel had a fair ground on it. Apparently this is an annual event so why didn't they warn us? 2. Our room 5 was on the ground floor. Later that evening we heard a prolonged thumping and banging from the room above as the occupants arrived. The rooms are in no way soundproof and it is a pub! 3. There were no cups and saucers in the room when we arrived and I had to ask and collect them myself. 4.The breakfast was excellent. 5. The shower was grubby and there was no soap dish. 6.The beds are old divans and have seen better days.
