Arrived at 2 in the afternoon, no room at the front of Hotel, so followed directions to covered car park (25 meters away). Access to the Hotel next to car park entrance. Warm welcome, given map of area, as I explained it was our first visit to Brighton. Stayed in room 161. Booked room on Lastminute website, a secret hotel... More

My stay at this "hotel" couldn't have been worse if they had actively tried to make it a horrible stay. They have no drop off zone, so my husband drove in, dropped me off, then had to drive around the block & wait for me to check in & find out about parking. I carried 2 suitcases & 2 carry... More

I was wondering whether to rate this hotel as poor or average. I didn't find anything terrible about it - the staff were all friendly and the room was clean - but for £240 a night just for the room I really do expect better than this. Our small double bedroom & bathroom was so basic we could have been... More

Stayed here this last Tuesday. Actually stayed a few years ago also on business and I was asked if I had stayed before. When the receptionist found my booking she said great I'll give you a good room. Well, I was given room 1515 supposedly a double (well it had a double best but little else.) Furniture was exceptionally old... More

The hotel has good and bad points. Like the rest of the front in Brighton it looks a bit tired and dated. When you go in and go to your room the entrance is in need of modernisation. The passage through to the rooms is very tatty. However, it does have good points. The reception and breakfast staff were very... More

We have just returned from a midweek break at this hotel and were very pleased with the staff, cleanliness and service we received. I think ours was a refurbished room. It was spacious, comfortable, warm and well equipped. The complaints on this site regarding the parking charges ar e totally unfounded. Parking in Brighton is at a premium and very... More

Our stay was very comfortable---the sea view room is large, the bathroom is newly refurbished and the view to the sea is wonderful. Nothing to complain, really.
