The rooms are accessed via a private entrance, separate from the pub, allowing guests to come and go freely without passing through the bar.

A light continental breakfast is provided each day, including fresh croissants, fruit, cereals, and yoghurt stored in the in-room mini fridge. The pub itself serves no cooked food and no loud music, maintaining a quiet, traditional atmosphere. Guests have a wide choice of restaurants, shops, and nightlife on Western Road, just 30 metres away.

Special Touches & Practical Details
The hotel offers a private entrance for guests, separate from the pub, with keys provided for independent access.

“The Bow Street Runner presents a compact, yet remarkably well-equipped ensuite room, where the comfort of the bed is a clear highlight, complemented by an in-room continental breakfast that thoughtfully anticipates the morning's needs. This establishment has mastered the art of providing considerable value, particularly with its quiet situation above a welcoming pub and its prime Hove location just a short stroll from both the town and the beach. It's this blend of thoughtful touches, genuine friendliness, and a truly convenient position that makes for a distinctly pleasant stay.”
