Hotel was nice, staff were very nice and great value for money for a cheap over night in Brighton. Location was great too, with beach across the rd and the pier almost opposite. My only issue was the shower had very, very weak water pressure dispite being on max and the temperature control was frozen so the water was about room temperature! I only discovered the shower issues in the morning when I got up so not able to complain until I was checking out 30 mins later. Reception were polite and apologised, but if I was staying longer I would have demanded another room.

Nice sea views, friendly staff and convenient to all amenities. Comfortable bed , tea and coffee facilities a definitely plus. On the minus side , no available water bottles from hotel and weren’t aware there was a music bar just below so a bit noisy. They do offer ear plugs and what was worse was the bad singing from the bar lol

Good location for town and bars. Loud at night in the front rooms but this was not a surprise as they are over the bar area and earplugs are provided. Bathrooms need a refresh and windows need attention but overall a nice stay.

Don’t be fooled by pictures

Looks grand on the picture but this is the entrance to the nightclub bar attached to hotel. Entry is via broad street to the right of the picture. Room needed a lick of paint. No toilet paper and had to run shower and hot tap for 15 mins to get any tepid water

People and place both worth your time

Location, staff and room layout were all fantastic. Unfortunately, cleanliness, particularly in the bathroom let it down somewhat. Definitely worth a return following a deep clean.

It was a fine stay; the bed was comfortable. The main issue I had was that I had the sign on the door to make up the room for 3 days, and nobody came. I ran out of things, and I had to go down and get them myself. Also, the bar downstairs ran out of bottled water, which was very inconvenient. The manager wasn't very nice, but the other staff was very friendly. With the bar downstairs it was pretty noisy, we didn't mind but if you're a light sleeper its something to consider. It was a good stay for a fair price, no frills but what we needed for our short time in Brighton.
