About us

RUBY (Previously The Hikers Rest) was originally constructed in 1937 as a hotel for people travelling between Ditchling, Lewes and Brighton. As this became a much busier route over time, Coldean & Moulsecoomb rose from the ground about 10 years later and The Hikers Rest became a popular first stop destination for visitors to Brighton for a drink and a place to stay ever since. 80 years later, the freehold was purchased, and The Hikers Rest underwent its first major renovation since 1937, becoming RUBY Pub & Guest Accommodation.

If I could I would not give it any stars The room was awful the bed looked like it had been slept in the bed linen was old and tacky looking, walls had food prints on them ,tea making facilities were situated to close to the bed very dangerous..must say the bathroom wasn't too bad..definitely would not visit again.

Freezing rooms,loose tiles,tail rail hanging off the wall,shower head covered in mould, Then there was the pub last orders at 2120 when there was still plenty of people in the venue. Managed to order food that to be fair was really nice. The bar maid didn't have a clue what was going on poured the worst pint of guinness I've ever had. Then started shutting the pub down whilst still eating.

Small room but very clean and comfortable. with a great shower. Suffered from some road noise being so close to the main road. Main reason for booking was it is within walking distance of the Xmas stadium where I was attending a Xmas Dinner. Access to the rooms is via a secure day to the side of the pub so no need to go through a busy bar.

In my second year of uni & living nearby. Would choose visiting this pub over a night out in town, always a great crowd and lovely staff, everyone is super nice the music is fab. It feels rlly safe, would recommend visiting to anyone looking for a lovely evening with friends or family.

room was small but clean. Bed linen was awful, old and looked used. Pillow very lumpy and not fit for purpose. Shower was great, bathroom sink very tiny. Cafe next door was fabulous. Great food, amazing value and lovely owners who were very welcoming. We would not stay there again, even though location was good for Stanmer Park concerts.
