Pro’s. The room was very large The beds were clean and comfortable enough for a couple of nights. The towels were clean The bathroom was clean The staff were really friendly and helpful The parking was a bit expensive but right behind the hotel so useful. The hotel was close to the seafront The Wi-Fi was fine Con’s The carpet was filthy. Stained and obviously very old. Some of the plug sockets didn’t work The furniture was very old and a bit tatty There was a hole in the bathroom floor The bath had no plug. The window in the bathroom looked old and tatty. Overall, for a couple of nights for £100 the hotel was fine. The staff were really helpful and friendly. If the carpet was replaced and the owners did a trip to ikea for some new furniture and curtains, it would be a good place to stay.

Weekend in Hove

Great location, very near sea front, pubs, cafes, restaurants and shops. On-site car parking is a real plus! Room was clean and tidy, but a little bit dilapidated - curtains worn (difficult to open/close) and no plug in bathroom hand basin. Overall, good value room for an overnight stay, but clearly scope to improve in a few areas.

The room was acceptable but could do with a new curtain rail. We had to ask for assistance as we were frightened to open and close the curtains. Also the ceiling in the bathroom was badly stained. So there's room for improvement. The beds were comfortable. Okay for a short visit.

A warm welcome. The hotel has obviously been recently refurbished, and very clean. The ensuite bathroom needs the same attention. I was fearful of using the shower as it is very basic (a curtain to be pulled round a bar over the bath) and insecure, and the bath needs re enameling. No bedside lamp means having to get up to switch off the light. However, I should emphasise that I think it is really good value for money. Great for one or two nights.

The whole place smelled like weed. The room and bathroom were old and didn't feel clean. There was no room cleaning during our stay. The only saving gracs was that the bed was clean and very comfortable.

Hotel was good for the price. Mattress wasn't overly comfortable, shower wasn't very good, one of the lights wasn't working. Wasn't there all that much so these issues weren't that inconvenient. I'd stay there again for the value for money.

Very run down with no signs of trying to fix anything. Friendly enough staff, but clueless. I had to move rooms after the first night. The radiator in room 218 couldn't be turned off and it was 25 degrees. The ceiling in the bathroom has water damage from above and the plaster was cracked and falling down. The second room I was given, room 317, had more problems. The window had broken seals, so let in a lot of wind and noise from the street. I found 2 empty Absolut vodka bottles wedged between the base and mattress. The mattresses were cheap, thin and uncomfortable. The bathroom stank of sulphuric sewage and became unbearable. The electrical sockets made a high pitched wizzing sound when switched on, which made the lamps flicker. Very dangerous. I was supposed to stay for 3 nights, but left after 2 to stay on a friend's sofa.
