Highly recommended

We’ve never stayed in a guest house before and was pleasantly surprised. This place is exactly what it says on the tin! Spotlessly clean, hosts are friending. Bed & pillows were comfortable. If I had to be really picky I’d say the shower was a little tight. But other than that we would 100% book here again next time. Thanks guys great place

Lovely boutique space close to everything

It's always a good start to a stay when the host greets you before you even manage to knock on the door with a huge smile and immediately picks up the heaviest bag. The remainder of our stay went just as smoothly. The room was well designed and comfortable, with room for the two of us to stretch out and a perfectly placed little table and chairs. The location was difficult to beat, it's even closer to the sea front than it looks from the photos, a hop skip and a jump to the pier, and a short walk to any number of food places and only a bit further to the Laines.

Lovely weekend break

Great central location, close to the Laines, Pavilion and the beach. The room was very clean with modern decor and all the extras you would expect like a hairdryer, tea and coffee. Plus a few things you wouldn't expect like a fresh fruit basket and free wifi. Our hosts were very friendly and willing to offer advice about the local area. We would definitely visit again.

Lovely Guest House close to Brighton pier

Friendly, welcoming staff - Scott was very helpful, especially with sorting out car parking and assisting us with our bags.

Guest house in excellent location, very quiet so slept great.

Lovely condition outside and inside with a very modern yet rustic feel. The room had plenty of storage space for clothes and even came with a complimentary breakfast basket filled with fruit and biscuits and tea/coffee making facilities. A hairdryer, towels and small bottles of shampoo/body wash were provided.

Very pleased I booked this guest house instead of a hotel.

Great room!

The Superior room was very clean an tidy really stunning blinds if you're looking to impress, If you leave the windows open there is some slight noise from the pub over the road, or you could just go and join them! But not a big deal, there is also a Tesco express just nearby and a Starbucks should you need them quickly for supplies, Great reception too, very friendly and wifi was a bonus

Fantastic hotel

From start to finish hotel couldn't be better. We had never been to Brighton so unsure if the location would be right but it was excellent. Very near Seafront, pier, supermarkets and shopping/bars. Owners were very sociable and willing to help. room was very good. Plenty of space, kingsize bed and decorated very tastefully. Lovely to have a table and chairs near the window to look out and watch Brighton go by. highly recommended.

The hotel was small with only six bedrooms so it was nice and quiet. Parking cost £10 a day and vouchers were available at the hotel.The owner was most helpful with advice about where to park. The complementary fruit and cereal bars were a great idea and much appreciated. Up a side street opposite the pier is so central it couldn't be better.

The Aquarium wins many points in our view.

We were initially surprised at the tiny entry, narrow staircases and small rooms and tiny ensuites. However we soon adjusted and really enjoyed the cleanliness, the friendliness of Scott and Helen and the proximity of the Aquarium to great cafes, to the waterfront and to the centre. Overall a very happy experience and we would definitely stay there again.

Nice spot to stay in Brighton

The Aquarium Guesthouse looks like one of the smarter establishments on Madeira Place and this impression is reinforced inside where the rooms have been smartly refurbished. Scott was very welcoming and helpful. The guest house is well situated to reach Brighton's attractions. It is in quite a lively area so there was occasional noise from the street during the night, it might be worth asking for a room at the rear if you are a light sleeper.There's no breakfast but a nice basket of fruit and snacks is in the room.

Hotel Aquarium

We stayed at this Hotel last minute booking and was wondrfully surprised how good it was. The owners were completely accomodating as we arrived very late and the room was excellent. If there was anything that could be improved, it would be the bed was a bit too soft for our ageing backs, but that is a positive crit!!

Overall, excellent value for money and the parking voucher was a great touch to park locally.

We definately will visit again.
