This was a really nice room with everything I needed, although a desk or table to be able to sit at properly would have been ideal. Bed was comfy, shower was lovely and hot. My only problem was that my room was located to the front door so was woken up at all hours by latecomers slamming the door, leading to what sounded like a party in the room above me at 2-3 in the morning. I can only presume that if there had been a member of staff on site this would have not been allowed to have happened but as the hotel is unmanned anything apparently goes.

Comfortable stay after night out

Well decorated, gorgeous 4 poster bed, we had everything we needed. Good location for walking to centre and cafes and pubs even closer, seafront also.

I really wanted to like this place, but the lack of soundproofing completely ruined my stay. There’s no reception, so if you have noisy neighbours, you’re on your own. Unfortunately, my next-door neighbours decided to come back drunk at 1 AM and have a very enthusiastic two-hour session—every sound loud and clear through the paper-thin walls. If you’re a heavy sleeper, maybe you’ll be fine, but if you value a peaceful night’s rest, this isn’t the place for you.

Overall, I thought Colson House was a lovely place to stay. I valued the fact that the proprietors had laid out a large bottle of water alongside a range of hot drinks (tea/coffee/hot chocolate sachets) for our arrival. The room was clean, comfortable. quiet and warm. The proprietors sent various emails throughout the check-in process which made us feel welcome (even though we didn't actually meet Gavin and the team). One downside was the parking. While the proprietors advised of a postcode to park along, which was said to be cheap, we couldn't find an appropriate parking space and ended up parking in the Bingo car park, which cost £19 for the night. Despite this, I would still recommend Colson House to my friends/family.

Great hotel

We received emails prior to getting to the hotel which was great. We entered the property and had sweets Ona rival which was lovely, we entered the room no problem and once inside we were pleasantly surprised with the room and bathroom. Lovely guesthouse and would definitely recommend and will be visiting again when in town - 5 stars!

The property was in a great location for what we needed. Communication with the owner wasn’t the best and we had to go through Expedia finally get any response which was the only downside. If you’re going to stay here buy a permit through the property as you’ll have a wider option as to where you can park and for a full 24 hours. It costs £10. We originally booked this property as it advertised it had parking, slightly misleading as it’s very busy and not parking attached to the property but a free for all and you can end up streets away! The property itself was clean, the bed was very firm and we both ended up with slightly stiff backs in the morning. The smallest wardrobe we’ve ever seen but there were plenty of drawers and as we only stayed one night it was suffice for us. The bathroom was clean and functional.

Nice little hotel but mattress needs replacing

Nice hotel and communication by email good and response quick by text to issue i had. My room was clean and comfortable for a single en-suite. Unfortunately the mattress was too soft for my weak back and needs replacing and this issue couldn’t be resolved by changing mattress or moving rooms. Good mattress is number 2 on my list when staying anyway but due to excellent reviews i assumed this was case and should have asked before i booked, For this reason I would not be able to stay again and it was also quite a long walk for me from centre Brighton.
