From the initial phone call booking to the moment we got in our cab home to the station Mardi & Dan we're the perfect hosts. First impressions on the phone - Dan was great, friendly, really helpful and informative which pretty much sealed our booking! Booking in was brilliant with Mardi & Dan, who (if you haven't gathered already) are... More

This is an excellent place to stay in Brighton (so much better than the large impersonal hotels) - the location is spot on for everything. Mardi and Dan are really welcoming and friendly hosts, the decor is really different (love the hall wallpaper!) and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Breakfast is really excellent, definitely the best we have had in Brighton.... More

Stayed at Guest in the City for one night with 2 friends, having read the first 20 reviews on TA. As there was not one bad comment I phoned and booked our room, number 5. Everything that previous guests had said was true, comfort, good food, great hosts, all deserve a 5 rating. Location was spot on, literally a few... More

Mardi and Dan were the best hosts we could've hoped for. We stayed in the loft room which was cozy and had a comfortable bed and a great shower. I loved the stylish decor- the locally sourced furnishings were a great touch and the breakfast was the best I've had from a B&B- just what we needed after a night... More

Our group of 4 stayed in the feature rooms which were simply brilliant. The rooms were new, stylish and really comfy. Complementary fizzy rocks candy provided an unexpected surprise. Only downside was that the shower didn't have a curtain or enclosure which meant the sink area got a little wet. Breakfast was excellent. We got small tomatoes on the vine,... More

Had a lovely bank holiday weekend stay with Dan and Mardi at their oh-so-well-located B&B. It was a pleasure to see how thoughtfully they approach all aspects of looking after their guests who they make feel extremely welcome and comfortable. Their enthusiasm for Brighton is infectious (although we don't need much convincing on that score!), and they have some great... More

This is a boutique place that slots between B&B and Hotel. It's as far from a pot-pourri old lady B&B image as you could imagine: The owners Dan and Mardi are cool and fun-loving and this is reflected in the furnishings and vibe to the place. There are lots of nice touches that make it memorable. It's a street away... More

Hi! Thank you very much for writing us a great review and pointing out some of our good bits! Yes, our Double ensuite rooms are compact but perfect for a short stay. You will have to sample one of our Feature rooms for your third visit! More room, a balconette, partial sea views and stained glass depicting scenes of Brighton.... More

This is how all B&Bs should be. Friendly and welcoming hosts who go of their way to make the guests stay pleasant and clean comfortable rooms. The breakfast, cooked to order, was great. Constant coffee refills were very welcome in the morning! The place is spotless and very nicely decorated and well furnished. The rooms are not large but are... More

We are quite specific about what accommodation we book when going away. Therefore, once I found Guest and the City on the internet we knew we just had to stay there. From the moment we booked, we received such a personal service through means of an email and this continued when we checked in and throughout our stay. We were... More
