After checking in and waiting about 10 minutes to have someone man the reception we were given our room key by an unapologetic staff member . The room was dark and dingy and in need of refurbishment. The bathroom was in poor condition with an obviously very dirty shower head above the bath. The television was small with terrible quality... more

Me and my friend stayed for two nights. Good base to pop into Brighton for the nightlife and a good place to recuperate the next day. Clean room, bathroom, comfortable bed and the balcony would have been great had it not been gale force winds; great view of the wild sea though (our window didn't close properly either). All the... more

We stayed for 1 night on a Friday night. There was a function downstairs with very very loud music - at one point an item of my wifes' jewellry vibrated off the bedside table. We were going out anyway so this didn't affect us very much. One of the windows did not fit properly and subsequently the wind whistled through... more

We first arrived outside a slightly drab looking hotel, and entered into a public car park which you get free if you are staying at the hotel. The first impression is of an hotel which badly needs restoration and a complete makeover. It is 1950's smoke stained decor, with an uninviting bar, and shabby feeling rooms. However, it is clean,... more

A great selection of freshly prepared food including egg benedict, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, kippers etc. The room rate was reasonable, room more than... more

Overall our stay in this hotel was rather pleasant. Located just outside of Brighton the hotel has lots of places to visit within easy reach and the village of Rottingdean itself also has some nice cafes and views. Positioned right on the seafront the hotel offers wonderful views particularly from rooms located at the front of the hotel. The Breakfast... more

We stayed one night in a sea view room with a balcony. Our room was nice and clean, the bathroom was in need of an update - quite old and worn. The hotel is in general a bit tired and out of date but has good character. We enjoyed our stay - it was lovely sitting out on the balcony... more

The rooms were very clean, bathroom stocked adequately, cooked breakfast was perfect, did not eat again until evening. Beds comfy. Restaurant meal taken the evening of arrival was OK, nice 2 for 1 deal, but drinks relatively expensive more

Stayed for two nights when house hunting in Sussex. Room with balcony overlooking the sea 50 yds away, fantastic breakfast and one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in! more
