On the day we were due to stay here my husband and I rang to to enquire what time we needed to check in and the man that answered the phone informed us that our reservation had been cancelled and that we were not welcome. When I asked why this was he became defensive and aggressive. I tried to reason... More

We had a christening in Brighton so needed somewhere to stay for one night and didn't want to pay much so we booked here. We booked the James Dean room and were advised it was the cheapest as it was the smallest. The day before we arrived we got a very friendly phone call from the owner, making sure we... More

Thanks to Eamon and Mark and the team at Colson House. What a great location. We stayed in the Audrey Hepburn room. Lovely breakfast and they were very helpful. The room was very clean and stocked up with towels, and tea and coffee, milk. Would well recommend this hotel. Good value for money. More

Stayed here for Valentines weekend with my girlfriend. We had the Clark Gable room. No complaints at all - very nice, clean room with a large shower room. The breakfasts were lovely (if perhaps a little small) and the two guys who run the place are very friendly. I'd definitely recommend. More

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Maralyn Monroe room at the top of the house over the BH weekend and found it very peaceful. The hosts were accommodating of our needs and pleasant to talk to! The room was spacious and airy and overlooked the road but wasn't in any way disruptive of sleep. The breakfast was spot on,... More

We stayed 3 nights in the James Dean room and had a good time in lovely Brighton. The location is great and a short 20mins walk from the station and round the corner from loads of restaurants / bars etc. (Muang Thai round the corner was fantastic) but we had no problem with noise at all - apart from the...

Me and my partner recently stayed here for my birthday and considering what other similar b and bs are charging cannot fault the place. The guys that own Colson are a great laugh and really friendly and kindly recommended a couple of restaurants which were fab. We stayed in the James Dean room, and it does warn in advance there...

We were booked into the james dean room but had to be moved because the shower kept cutting out. The shower in john Wayne wasn't much better. More than once we were given new towels that had not been washed and left fluff everywhere. Also, there was no choice or menu for breakfast and what we got wasnt very nice. More

Not only do Mark and Eamon run an attractive and tidy guest house, but they're both terrific to talk to, give wonderful advice about the area, and have great senses of humor. When I left my watch at Colson House by mistake after leaving, they were also willing to mail it ahead to my next destination before I left the... More

My partner and I stayed at the Colson House for a long weekend in May as we both needed a break from work and family. The weather was fine, if breezy, and Brighton was as great as ever. The Colson House was brilliant, our host Eamon was very friendly and his humour while serving breakfast really set us up for... More
