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!

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.
