The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast excellent quality (top notch sausages & bacon!) and the location was fabulous! I truly appreciate that this hotel is EXACTLY what it claims to be....it was THE most inexpensive room I found near the waterfront in Brighton for that night (I only booked 2 days before my stay), and though I am sure some fussy people may consider the room on the small side I found it perfectly adequate with a TV that had a clear picture, hot water in the clean bathroom and lovely comfortable beds.We parked the car on the street outside with no problem at all (I'm sure it helped that we arrived about 5.45pm at close of business), and walked down to the beach for a swim. It was minutes walk to pubs, restaurants etc. Our room even had a view out over the park in front of the hotel and across the water! I have travelled extensively and stayed at ridiculously expensive hotels where I have had to dust cupboards before I put my clothes in them....I now take delight in staying at quality, affordable hotels like the New Steine where I get top value for money!
