This was not worth £110 a night......more like £30 and that would be generous. the lady who checked us in was very polite and friendly but the guesthouse its self is the worst i have ever stayed in. the place is rundown with paint peeling every where , half painted walls in the hallway and in our room was even worst. there was exposed wires just cut off and left , the bed was horrible and left me with a bad back. the towels were all different colors and rough. the quilt cover was cut off at the bottom and didn't even go down to the bottom of the duvet leaving it exposed with stains. the pillow cases were from the 80's bed set of the pirot clown. there was stains all over the carpet ..... i could go on . i could hear another couple moan about the place as they checked in so i cant imagine where all the 8/10 ratings came from because the pictures this sight is displaying is not this hotel ............

I had a wonderful four-night stay at the Hudson Hotel. The room was spacious and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, including an en suite bathroom, a hairdryer, and a TV. It was nice to have daily refreshed water bottles, along with plenty of tea and coffee. The host, Sandra, was incredibly kind and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place!

It was fine considering we only were staying for 1 night where we had been out drinking late. Room was clean but not the best in terms of comfort. Bathroom was clean but crowded as it was very small. Closet contained coathangers and a steamer. Coffee and tea with kettle in room. The hotel was clean itself it just was crammed and not very well presented. Decoration was abit mismatched. For a short cheap stay it was perfect really just could have been better if im being picky.

Needs a de-clutter and a new pull out bed.

Booked 1 room for three people - the third bed was a very old pull out chair that was covered in stains, hard and lumpy with no bedding provided. The room itself has too many things in it - large vases hidden behind old, stained chairs etc and the furniture itself is really too big for the room. We arrived late and they did leave the key just inside the room for us with a follow up email, which was useful.

Basic guest house that was clean and overall good value. You can hear other guests, the plumbing is noisy and the thin curtains meant I woke up as soon as it was light.

The television didn’t work. There was a broken lamp hidden behind a chair. There was too much furniture and artwork in the room. I was worried about the amount of cabling and extension leads used in the room. There was a pile of random chargers, cleaning products and items on a shelf outside the room.

Reasonable for the price

I needed a late check-in and the hotel had provided me with a code and left a key for me, which made things very straightforward. The hotel is not in the nicest area so I was glad to get inside having walked there from the hospital. The entrance hall was in reasonable condition but did smell of damp dogs, although this didn't carry to upper floors.
My room was on the top floor. The ceiling height was very low which would be a problem for a taller traveller. The room was compact but had more amenities than I expected for the price- a mini fridge, tea and coffee facilities and a small TV. The window could be opened and the heating adjusted too which is good. The room was acceptably clean.
Most importantly the bed was extremely comfortable with decent quality bedding and a variety of pillows. It was quiet the night I stayed, although the walls are thin. I slept really well and would probably stay again for the price.

Simple but comfortable

We stayed at Hudson's due to the cost and the location which were both excellent. The guesthouse was only a short walk to the pier and center of Brighton.
Initially we believed that we had booked a room which had a bathroom. This was not quite the case, we had a room and the bathroom was ours but was up the stairs. This was very small and slightly inconvenient.
The room had a large double bed which was comfortable. However, it was not very private. There was a door which lead to the cleaning room/where all the washing and ironing was kept. There was a curtain which initially we thought was fine. However, in the mornings this was see through and although no one was in that room it made getting ready for the day feel less private. I would personally invest in a thicker curtain to ensure privacy. In the mornings the guesthouse was loud and the early check out of 10.30 was quite inconvenient. I would recommend if you are looking for somewhere which is cheap and convent in a good location. However, there are small changes that i would make to make the guesthouse feel more comfortable

Perfect location for us, close to the beach and the strip. The staff there were very lovey and attentive and our room was very clean. I would book this place again in a heart beat, the only thing I can think of would be the shower, it sometimes wouldn’t heat up and it came out very slow but if that’s the only thing then I can get over it!

Unfortunately we had a negative experience. I booked this one night stay for my daughters birthday. After hearing negative reviews about the basement room, I emailed ahead to request that we did not have the basement room. I received a prompt reply that I had been allocated a room on the first floor. Unfortunately on arrival we had been given the basement room. The room is small, claustrophobic, gloomy and needs a major refurbishment. The carpet is vile and stained. We are not fussy people and this is the first time I’ve written a negative review. For a 10 year old child to be disappointed with the room shows how terrible it was. We asked to be moved but was told there was no availability . In the morning the owner was present and we spoke about the poor standard of room. She apologised and is obviously aware the room is a poor standard. We were so disappointed especially as we had made this reservation well in advance. I have since received a reply from the owner offering a 50% reduction of a future booking and a better room. I had already explained that we would not want to return as we had a negative experience. A 50% refund on our ruined trip would have been more appropriate. However I have had no response to that email. It’s such a shame such a poor standard of room is in use as the hotel is in a lovely location

We needed somewhere to stay near Kemp town for our friends 60 th birthday celebration. We couldn't have chosen better as after getting in quite late after celebrations, we had a perfect nights sleep in this lovely quiet place.. Breakfast the next morning at THE CORNER was the perfect end to the celebrations.. Will return again.

Great place to stay in Brighton

Hudsons was a last minute booking for a business trip to Brighton based purely on price. And what a good decision that was. When I dropped off my bags I wondered if perhaps I had made a mistake choosing this small and clearly family run hotel. But the welcome I got was warm, I wasn't charged an excess for using an Amex card ( as many places do), and I was then taken to a spectacularly well appointed and spotlessly clean room as good as any I have stayed in at the major chains. If you are in Brighton and need a comfortable room in walking distance of the town centre Hudsons is highly reccomended

Don't book room 9.

Sandra was very welcoming, pleasant and nice. The room we were in was room 9 right on the top floor. we are in our sixties so it was a lot of narrow stairs to climb. The room was not as spacious as it looked on the website. I asked to change rooms but Sandra said they were fully booked although the doors to the other rooms were open and when we went in them they were all nice looking rooms with bigger bathrooms and bigger windows. I think it was because we only paid 45 pound a night for the room so what did we expect?
Our bathroom was tiny, you couldn't really move in there. The shower was too small and far too noisy. we could hear the people showering in the other room. at least the toilet worked okay. the sink was too tiny to be functional being only about four by seven inches..felt like we were in a hostel not in a place advertised as 4 star. The tv only worked intermittently reception was bad and impossible to view sometimes only local channel.
We were booked in for four nights but after three decided to go home as I had had enough of trying to get clean in that tiny bathroom. So you could say it was a bargain for 45 pound a night. If I was younger and on my own it might have been. we put up with it and laugh about it now but would never go back there. It is a shame because I really liked Sandra and she was very apologetic.
However on the plus side the bedroom was lovely and quiet. we could see the sea out of the window and the bed was extremely comfortable.

We were placed in the basement which smelled mouldy. A big dehumidifier was a signal. But it was clean.

Fantastic one day stay

Hotel was clean and inviting. Check in was quick and smooth. I had the Hudson suite, downstairs no 5. Was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room. Comfortable big double bed. A living room with sofa leading out to a small patio in the back garden. The bathroom was huge. There was a huge fan, extension cable, plenty of storage cupboards and even a wine rack if you need it. Very close to shops, restaurants and the pier. Enjoyed my one night stay. Will come back again. Parking is difficult.
