Absolutely horrendous stay. All night people up and down the stairs, banging doors, shouting. Clearly the place has people staying long term and I seriously suspect it's being used for things other than sleeping! Eastern European girls wandering about in full make up and dressing gowns at 2pm, corridors smelling of ****, at 4 am someone wailing on the balcony above me. Rushing water noises through the pipework all night then at 3.30am water actually started pouring through my celing. As a solo woman traveller I felt unsafe and didn't sleep a wink, and left as soon as I could in the morning. The room looked nothing like the pictures, curtains stained. The whole place is grim.

Only if you're desperate Very, very small room described as a standard, en suite room. I'm average height at best and struggled to even use the toilet. Room was covered in cobwebs, curtains only just attached to their rail, window itself cracked and just repaired with sellotape, floor looked like it had never seen a mop or Hoover. As the title says if it's your last resort then book it, if you're coming to Brighton to just get absolutely blind drunk then you might just manage but anyone else I'd say just spend just a little more and get somewhere decent. I visit relatives in Brighton and believe me there are many hotels, reasonably priced around so avoid this Hotel if you can.

Good location It's in a good location, close to shopping area. Bathroom was hidden in what looked like a closet. Better rate the longer you stay.

The convenience and the price. The property was a little shabby, and the en suite was very small. The bed not very comfortable.

Picture look better than reality. Rooms are small, mattresses and pillows aren't great, bathrooms are tiny. Good price though and good location.

Do not believe the pictures. This used to be an amazing b&b but it's now just run down, damp rooms. Staff do not work on site, as they're at a different property down the road. The windows don't close, the heating doesn't work. The bedding isn't fit for a hotel. I’m sure the owners once had good intentions, but owning more than one property and the pandemic has made this place basically a hostel. They need a word with The Hotel Inspector!
