Property in a great location, and our room was good size with comfortable beds But interior is quite run down, giving it a grubby feel, even though the place was fairly clean

Comfy little gem right by the beach.

Small guest house very pleasant, helpful welcoming staff. The bed was lovely and clean with soft comfy pillows 3 each. Bed was soft. The room was perfect temperature & we slept well, felt safe and secure. It was so quiet. The bathroom is tiny but we coped fine it was only one night and we had plenty of nice towels. Kettle so we could have a cuppa. Just a stones throw from the beach.

We were only staying in Brighton for one night and had already booked to eat out, so just needed a place to sleep for the night and this guest house was okay. The room was clean, comfortable and not a bad size. The en-suite was small but again it was clean and the shower worked well. When we arrived we were a little confused trying to find the reception area but eventually found the lady downstairs (in the converted cellar room). It was possible to park on the street but for 24 hours this is quite expensive. We parked at a car park which the guest house suggested to use. It worked out at about £20 for 24 hours. The guest house is a 5 minute walk from the Promenade, and about 25 mins to the Royal Pavilion. All in all, this guest house was fine for us and pretty good value for money too.

Very outdated and basic. Very loud- can hear everything on the street, hallways and other guest rooms.. I REALLY wish I had read all the reviews and done my research before booking this room! We ended up leaving early and booking another hotel for rest of our stay.. wasted my money!

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.

Modernisation needed

The price reflects the experience. Overall a decent stay for three gents on a jolly boys weekend. Beds comfy. But the hotel clearly requires modernising. Very friendly staff.

I was worried that it is non air conditioning when I booked but it turn out well. Comfortable rooms, walking distance to the central and 5 mins walk to the beach. Supermarkets, restaurant and cafe are within walking distance. Be mindful if you have big luggage as there are no lift and the stairs are narrow.

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.
