Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Ruby Pub & Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ruby Pub & Hotel is a popular choice, especially for those attending events at the Amex Stadium, which is within walking distance, also a short walk to the train station for a short ride to Brighton. Many guests find the rooms recently renovated, clean, and well-equipped, with modern bathrooms and good showers. The hotel's location above a pub means some noise might be expected, but overall guests have found the rooms comfortable and well-maintained. Bottled water in reception is a nice touch.

A Football Fan's Haven

friendly staffclean roomconvenient bus stopstadium location
The staff was genuinely friendly, always ready with a smile. The room was indeed clean and orderly. I appreciated the bus stop just outside, a feature , made getting around effortless. The location was especially convenient for visiting the Amex football stadium.
The room felt somewhat small, a minor inconvenience for an otherwise great visit.

The shower in the bathroom was actually quite good. It's the only thing i can say i liked.
the room was small, okay, but the noise was a problem. loud music from the pub downstairs went on until late. sleeping was impossible before midnight.
