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.

Great location!

The hotel was very clean, but needed a hairdryer in the room, possibly iron and ironing board and a fan, as the window only opens a fraction.

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.

I would stay again.

Was a really comfortable stay, close to reasonable long stay parking, town, the pier etc. Staff were very helpful. Room was very clean and spacious. Good communication from venue in advance of stay. Only recommendation would be to have alternate milks.

Cute little guest house

Cute little guest house with great service. However, not a place to stay if you have dust allergy. Dust in walls and ceiling and old carpet.
