The room was reasonably clean, fan was provided due to the heatwave. Staff were friendly and accommodating. I had help to bring my suitcases to the bedroom. The buses were available if you wanted to explore and the beach was only about 10 minutes walk away. Plenty of restaurants and cafes and other places to eat.

You get what you pay for. Albany Hotel is a budget hotel so I didn’t have high expectations. I was happy with my room and the parking which is available at the back. Very helpful staff as well.

Don’t come here expecting the Ritz - but we were very grateful to find a room that could accommodate 4 during Brighton Pride at the last minute. Yes carpets are threadbare, yes the furniture is missing handles. But (except during pride weekend) this would be a cost effective and well located spot to sleep in. Beds were comfy. Bathroom was run down but clean. It entirely suited our purposes - imagine a much friendlier and slightly shabbier Fawlty Towers.

The room was very clean but there was no teaspoon for drinks and the shower only did v hot water. 1 plug socket didn't work. Saying that the staff were very friendly and helpful. They let us shower after doing park run and helped us to find parking when we got there. Book your parking in advance £15 for 24 the hours. Close to the sea a 25 min walk to Brighton or buses are a short walk away.

The toilet seat in the bathroom was not fixed on properly the floor of the bathroom was lifting there was no plug in the sink the shower is old fashioned there were dirty marks around the taps and up the walls and the toilet roll holder needed fixing to the wall . The double bed was collapsed on one side so I was higher than my husband and we kept falling together in the middle of the bed worst nights sleep ever burn marks on the dresser where the kettle was a green leather look sofa that had seen better days and none of the windows locked quite frankly we would not stay there again the best bit plenty of fans and nice soap that is all.

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.
