Room was lovely and big with a good view of the sea front. We stayed there in some really hot periods of UK weather as well and it was kept cool. Had everything we wanted. We didn't have breakfast there but looked like it was well stocked. We 100% stay again.

I was so happy with our stay. We were upgraded to there front sea view room, bigger space.. the room is with the vacation vibes that will relax you. The bed is so comfy, staff are nice and approachable, The location is near to everywhere. Electric fan is provided co’z it’s getting hot during afternoon, if there’s an AC it will probably help with the heat. But overall it’s so worth it to be back again..

Lovely size room with an amazing view so very lucky. Only thing I wish was different was the very small writing desk we had instead of a big table to get ready on. We had a wedding to go to and there was no room for the kettle let alone hair and makeup bags so just a bigger table needed. Other than that all lovely.

The reason I chose this place was the location. Price wasn't the cheapest by any means. Everything was ok, with the warm temperatures and just a little fan for ventilation, windows had to stay open all night which was fine until you get awaken by the trucks and movement on the street. Meaning don't expect to sleep in. Everything was fine until my second morning when I had to check out. I realized there was a dark red blood stain under the bedsheets, exactly where I slept. It was a round spot, and obvious from an woman's period accident. I was disgusted at how the cleaning crew could allow this to happen. It was very obvious and absolutely disgusting. Either they didn't change the sheets, or they saw it and ignored it. I complained and showed a picture to reception upon checkout, he asked if it was me, and then apologized. That's it. An apology for sleeping in someone else's blood. This is not acceptable in ANY hotel standard or level. Absolutely horrible experience and they didn't even bother to care.

The exterior wall of this hotel is old and rusty, clearly has not been painted for years, which is quite different from the photos on Expedia. The staff were friendly. The room the two of us stayed in was of good size, but the soundproofing of the doors, windows, and floors was very poor. Noise kept coming in from the street, upstairs, and the hallway outside the door at night. The mattress on the bed was old and had very poor elasticity. We were glad that we only had to stay there for one night. Not again.

The site photos does not match what it actually looked. Drunk people sitting in the pavement-no my idea of a holiday because i don't feel safe. My bad, i though old buildings will provide some sort of history but it didn’t. Old building provided creaking floors and a fragile elevator that can accommodate 2 people at a time 😕 Learned my lesson, not going back. It is not for me, this is a first for me.

Really friendly staff, and the hotel allows guests to use a cowork area with comfy seats and cooking facilities. Free tea and coffee with lots of little nooks to sit and relax.
Right next to the coast and the i360 so you don’t have far to go to all the sights of Brighton.
Beds were really comfortable. The road outside is busy and can get quite noisy but quiet enough at night.

We had the most incredible experience at this hotel! We picked it to be close to the water within our budget and it did not disappoint. When we arrived, the man at reception upgraded us to a sea view room as a surprise! The room was big and clean and the proximity to the waterfront is unmatched. It’s about a ten minute walk from the Lanes and the Pier but being a waterfront walk we didn’t mind it in the slightest. This is the only place we plan to stay in Brighton moving forward.

We stayed for 2 nights. The check-in process was smooth and the staff member who checked us in was kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable of Brighton.

The room is basic but good for the price. The walls were however, dirty with what could have been coffee sprayed on the walls. But the washroom was clean. There was nothing in regards to cleanliness that ruined our stay, just little things we noticed.

The second night of our two day stay we returned from dinner to find that something from the bathroom had leaked and flooded the entry way of the room and bathroom. We informed the front desk and our room was changed. I did ask them for a small travel sized toothpaste for the trouble and they still charged me for it which was disappointing.

Overall the location and staff are the best aspect of this hotel. This is a good no-frills option if you don’t care for a luxury stay, it gets the job the done.

Spacious room with sea view. Definitely gave ‘hip hostel’ vibes. Was charged again for the room at check in despite already paying via Hotels.com however this was quickly rectified. The room is very large with one mid sized radiator, visiting in February the room was extremely cold, thankfully they’d supplied two portable radiators but it did take a long time to heat the room to a comfortable level. The room & views were 100% worth the price though and I would definitely visit again but perhaps in the summer.

Didn’t have the breakfast, but the hotel itself is very convenient. We had the 3 bed room and it was perfect for our needs. Room was clean. Bathroom in good condition and it is so central you are in the centre of Brighton in less than 15 mins walk.

If I had to pick a negative, there are dormitory type rooms as well and one was opposite our room which meant people coming and going at all times of the night, but it is only a door opening and shutting, so a small negative when you look at its location and the nice room. Would happily go there again.

On arrival staff were great and really welcoming. The room was amazing with incredible views of the West Pier. In the evening the shower only had cold water. In the morning the shower was warm. However on checking out we were told the manager had suddenly decided to stop the luggage storage. I'd even had a confirmatory email that luggage storage is available. This was a big reason why we picked this hotel, and the woman on the reception was being kind of rude in how she was telling some tourists it wasn't available. So sadly this hotel is unreliable and you don't get what you are promised. Real shame.
