From the outside it looks like just an ordinary building. Entering it, it was small and dark. The staff were very laid back, friendly, but not overly professiohal - nice to you because they liked you rather than being polished professsionals. I had no issues And now..the rooms! I stayed in the Alice. I have never stayed in such a... more

I came away thinking I might stay again , but in hindsight probably would not. There is little point in complaining that it is a townhouse in a street of similar houses (some of which do happen to be student accomodation) if you've done your research and know what you are going to. On the inside, Blanch House defies its... more

Have to echo some of the bad reviews on here, I definitely wouldn't stay here again!! Pros: Staff are nice enough, cocktail bar is very nice (if pricey). Good location. Bed was really comfortable. Cons: It's just not worth the money!! I would have been happy enough to pay half the price, but it isn't worth the rack rate. Cooked... more

We had previously visited Brighton many times staying at Brighton Wave, The Queens Hotel and the New Madeira Hotel (with the funky fish night club). The “Blanch House” website is nice and FLASH, the navigation requires a PhD (that I have). The rooms cannot be viewed unless you select “book now” or download a PDF. Surely this is the age... more

We have just returned from a fantastic weekend at Blanch House. The room we stayed in (Moroccan) was lovely - the photos don't do it justice. The bar was great (amazing cocktails and friendly bar-staff) as was the restaurant. Having read previous reviews I was apprehensive about eating in the restaurant as I'm extremely fussy... But the food was delicious... more

We stayed at Blanch House last weekend and were completely disappointed. My boyfriend booked the hotel for a special treat for my birthday and we were really looking forward to it. From the website and various reviews that had been posted on it we were expecting something very smart. We arrived on the Friday evening and straight away we were... more

We were given vouchers for the Blanch House as a Christmas gift following the feature on the BBC Holiday programme and we were looking forward to a relaxing evening in high-quality comfortable surroundings, with those special touches that you would expect for £160 a night. The images on the site looked good and the restaurant had received good reviews. On... more

This is one of the worst places I have ever stayed. I think the owner must have worked in pr and have kept lots of contacts as it does not deserve all the press it receives. Room small, quick paint job and unhelpful staff. more
