Rostrevor Hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at the Rostrevor. We booked a one bedroom island view room and were on the 5th floor. Island view is not ocean view. Our kitchen window faced inland to the island, our balcony faced west. Because we were on the 5th floor, we could see the ocean from the side, and the sunsets, although we didn't take pictures because the top of the hotel next to us was in the way. The point is, if you want ocean view, book accordingly. The one bedroom suite is very spacious with a large balcony that had two separate tables on it. The living room had a pull out couch and two chairs, although we never used the pullout, so can't comment on comfort level. The bedroom is huge with plenty of room to store luggage. King bed was very comfortable, and bedding and towels were of a good quality. You can access balcony from both rooms. Bathroom was large too, shower only in this unit, which was all we wanted. We wanted the kitchen for breakfasts and lunches only. It had a two burner gas cook top, microwave, large fridge and was outfitted for four people. There are two convenience stores within a block of the hotel, and full grocery stores in Worthing, which was a 15 minute walk. Housekeeping was very good, the entire hotel was well looked after. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. There are washers and dryers available for a very nominal fee, and they also provide large beach towels for a nominal, refundable deposit. The pool is not huge, but big enough to paddle around in. The pool and deck overlook the ocean. The Rostrevor also has it's own sliver of beach, which we loved. We alternated between pool and sea. If you wanted a larger stretch of beach, you could walk 7 minutes to Dover Beach, or 15 minutes to Worthing. We just never bothered. There can be sargassum, depending on the wind direction, but many days there was none. We never had a problem getting sun loungers either.

Loved our stay here! Great room on 3rd floor in Deluxe Double Seaview room- with balcony and the most amazing sea view!! Lots of sunbeds in various places!! Pool terrace great for sunbathing so close to the sea! Hotel in brilliant location amongst bars and restaurants close to 2 great beaches!! Will definitely be back next time we stay in St Lawrence Gap!!

Lots of restaurants within a couple of minutes walk, along with a convenience store with all the essentials. The hotel beach wasn't big enough to sit on but there are plenty of loungers seaside and stairs to get down to the water for swimming. (And Dover and Worthing beaches in walking distance.) Nice balcony with a sea view. We had breakfast one morning and it was good. St Lawrence Gap is busy but street noise was not an issue for us. Lots of repeat visitors here and I can see why.

The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful, and did everything to help make my stay even more pleasant. Excellent views from the balcony of my Ocean Front One Bedroom Suite on the third floor. The location of the hotel in Saint Lawrence Gap is great, a short walking distance to the beautiful Worthing Beach and Dover Beach, which I found much more pleasant than the touristy and run-down Carlisle Bay.

Room was cleaned daily to a very high standard and well appointed, access via stairs or excellent lift.Free wall safe. Shower facilities excellent.Bed extremely comfortable and the patio double work well.
