Would not recommend for young familys. Others ok.

Room was reasonable however priced high given the overall condition. Location good. Me, my wife and child had a room which would have been fine however. At 9pm when we arrived back all seemed ok, later on that night around 11:30pm others started returning. No issues about whenever others decide to go back but be considerate, you are not the only ones staying in a hotel, others might be trying to sleep. This particular family talked out front, then entered property one by one closing door everytime. Then when upstairs seemed to do laps around a room and continues to shower and use / flush toilet constantly until 1am ? After this it seemed to go quiet for a while with the odd bang here and there. Wife decided to put phone on with music so we all could sleep. At 6am when it all kicked off again i actually went to see what all the racket was about and where it was, it was so loud it wasnt the room directly above ours as it was vacant it was the one above that number 7 in pic!! They were so loud we could here them floors away. This time it sounded like i was in a market just standing in the hallway. Sounded like at least 6-8 people in this small room shouting at eachother and at least two people on loud speaker on a phone. The cheek. I then mentioned on check out, they said we should have called them. Not sure what difference that would have made. Maybe it was just this indian family being extremely inconsiderate towards other hotel guests but hotel didnt seem at all interested.

Cute place by the water

Loved this little b&b. Area is walkable, lots of shops, restaurants and things to do. Close to the water and about a 20 min walk from the train station. Floor is definitely slanted but other than that this place is wonderful. It’s fairly quiet, has a window, a fridge and a small but not too small shower. The cable didn’t work but the staff tried to fix it for us. Check in was friendly and accommodating.

Great location and bag holding on checkout if need

It was really cosy, great location and allowed us to keep our bags there after we checked out so we could go around Brighton without our bags. It was only £5 for that service as well.

Comfy little gem right by the beach.

Small guest house very pleasant, helpful welcoming staff. The bed was lovely and clean with soft comfy pillows 3 each. Bed was soft. The room was perfect temperature & we slept well, felt safe and secure. It was so quiet. The bathroom is tiny but we coped fine it was only one night and we had plenty of nice towels. Kettle so we could have a cuppa. Just a stones throw from the beach.

We were only staying in Brighton for one night and had already booked to eat out, so just needed a place to sleep for the night and this guest house was okay. The room was clean, comfortable and not a bad size. The en-suite was small but again it was clean and the shower worked well.
When we arrived we were a little confused trying to find the reception area but eventually found the lady downstairs (in the converted cellar room).
It was possible to park on the street but for 24 hours this is quite expensive. We parked at a car park which the guest house suggested to use. It worked out at about £20 for 24 hours.
The guest house is a 5 minute walk from the Promenade, and about 25 mins to the Royal Pavilion.
All in all, this guest house was fine for us and pretty good value for money too.

I was worried that it is non air conditioning when I booked but it turn out well. Comfortable rooms, walking distance to the central and 5 mins walk to the beach. Supermarkets, restaurant and cafe are within walking distance.

Be mindful if you have big luggage as there are no lift and the stairs are narrow.

Fine for explorers, not so much for a family.

This place is probably fine for a few friends on a trip together to see the city. It is not ideal for a family that would spend equal time in the room and going out.

Top Lage und super freundliches Personal

Das Guest House hat eine top Lage, nur ca. 3 Minuten zu Fuß vom Brighton Pier entfernt. Das Zimmer war zwar sehr klein und man hatte wenig Ablageflächen. Auch hat das WLAN ab und zu nicht funktioniert. Aber es war alles sehr sauber und ganz besonders ist das super freundliche Personal hervorzuheben. Man hat sich auf jeden Fall willkommen und wohl gefühlt.
