A very pleasant stay even though it was very hot in Eton. The fan was most appreciated. We had a delicious breakfast. There were many choices on the menu.

Good basic accommodation in an ideal location

Self check-in was easy with clear instructions. The room was good overall. Decent bed, though something underneath clunked every time I got up from it. Condition of the room is somewhat worn, clear signs of wear and tear. Bathroom and shower OK. The room had everything I needed - and some nice extras - for a basic 1-night stay. Great value for money in a fantastic location for Brighton, and the surrounding area was quiet at night. Would happily stay here again.

A lovely little place. Easy to access and close to the water. The only thing that was inconvenient was the parking. The suggested parking is a bit of a walk especially when you’re carrying luggage. I would recommend to drop the bags off first before parking or organise the parking permit. Other than that, it was a lovely stay.

Spent 1 night at Colson House. Room 7 (single en-suite - top floor) - it was clean / cosy / the mattress was so comfortable I slept like a baby / was very quiet. I really enjoyed my stay there and will definitely book again

The check in & out was faultless. We had room 6, the only small thing was the lack of electrical plugs as the skirting board height meant that it wasn’t possible to plug in an appliance, but they had one power cord to compensate. The hotel was perfect location & central, plus the added touch of Easter eggs upon entry really cute. I’d stay there again. Super clean, comfortable bed. Plenty of communication & helpful. Even though we was facing the road we found it quiet.

I have stayed here a few times and have always found it to be clean and pleasant. Despite being an unmanned property I felt safe and always received check-in information timely. There was tea, coffee, hot chocolate which was refilled on the morning

We stayed at Colson House as we were attending a gig at Patterns. It was really close to the venue which was great. We had a couple of days to explore Brighton and it was lovely staying at Colson House. Everything was walkable from the hotel, we walked to the lanes, the pier and the train station easily. There were regular busses on the road that the hotel is on so it was really easy to get about. We had a problem with the tv in our room but someone came out really quickly and sorted it out. We had the room with a balcony which was lovely and spacious. There was a bit of noise from the road but that’s to be expected given the location. It was much quieter than I was expecting. There were loads of cafes and restaurants nearby - too many for us to try! Would definitely stay again.
