We stayed at Guest and the City for the Great Escape festival after spending previous years at other B&B's and chain hotels. After seeing it appear on Channel 4's Four in a Bed and reading all the reviews on Trip Advisor I was so excited to stay and was not at all disappointed, in fact the B&B has so much... More

We stayed with Mardi and Dan for one night so we could avoid having to drive home after a show. The hotel was quirky, interesting and with excellent customer service - Dan and Mardi were really great, helping us to park and providing ideas on restaurants we hadn't tried before. We had a great meal at The Plateau who gave... More

Cosy, clean room. Great breakfasts and a very friendly welcome. Interesting choice of fruit/vegetable juice in the mornings:) Mardi and Dan suggested some great eateries during our stay, with deals such as free champagne/money off in a few places. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at Guest and the City for a couple of nights earlier this week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The rooms are like nothing we'd seen before with the stained glass window and quirky little features and the little indoor balcony where we could sit looking out at the sea and sipping a glass of wine before we headed...

I must say firstly that the whole experience was a complete joy. As soon as we arrived to the moment we left. The room it self was perfect for what me and my partner wanted. Very clean and tidy. The location was perfect for the centre of town and to finish the breakfast made by dan was the best I've... More

Can't say I've ever had a room with a stained glass window before...nor an oversized study floor lamp! Everything was cute and a little quirky. Clean, comfortable and cosy. Dan and Marni, the two amazing owners - I absolutely appreciated their hard work, care and attention. 'Work is love made visible' and yes, I felt truly loved...wonderful hotel. Many thanks

Loved the look of GATC on the website and we knew we'd made the right choice from the moment we arrived. Dan was very welcoming, our room was comfortable and stylish (loved the stained glass! and our balcony) and nothing seemed too much trouble. Delicious breakfast and the map with recommendations for eating out was very welcome. We went to... More

Serendipity, by definition, it's the development of events by chance that result in a happy or beneficial way. In this case staying with Dan and Mardi at the Guest In The City was both a very happy AND beneficial series of events. Staying in hotels on a weekly basis, I know exactly what I like and would usually not stay... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Guest and the City is a boutique Guesthouse that reflects all that we love about Brighton. With seven private bedrooms, situated in the heart of Kemptown, minutes from the centre of Brighton, 30 seconds from the beach and opposite the famous Palace Pier, it’s the perfect location to explore Brighton for Business or pleasure. We want our guesthouse to reflect everything we like about staying in Brighton. Guest in the City therefore takes the best bits of a traditional B&B – a relaxed, friendly service, a central location and of course a top-notch breakfast with locally sourced ingredients – and puts them in modern, high-spec surroundings. The result is a boutique feel without luxury prices. To us, that’s what Brighton is all about – finding new things that surprise you and make you smile. ... more   less
