Room was quirky but great view and very comfortable. Do not bother getting breakfast. It took 50 mts for toast and one hour for bacon & eggs. Not busy enough to warrant this. Other people were waiting over an hour. When this was mentioned at reception. Their response was it’s not our company!

Convenient

Hotel was only about a 10 minute walk away from The Brighton Centre which is why we stayed here. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. However, room 6 does not have a city view. It does not have any view!!!

The hotel was in a great location, right on the seafront and within a 10 minute straightforward walk to the Lanes. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and had a higher professionalism than I've encountered recently in London hotels! The room itself was spacious, clean and with a gorgeous view of the seafront and pier. I would definitely stay there again.

Great place!!!

Great stay and location! Thing to remember is there is no elevator/lift. It’s all stairs so if you’re on the 4th floor you have a good climb. Staff was friendly and excellent!!
