Disappointed
Have stayed here several times over last few years with this year being the most disappointing - if pay a cheap rate expect cheap room paid top rate for a deluxe room which was far from being deluxe in any hotel will not stay here again

Friendly staff and well located
Very friendly receptionist. The hotel is in need of upgrading but is nice and clean. I didn't sleep very well as mattress was a bit too soft but everyone has their own preferences. Well located and we had a beautiful view of the seafront and great value for money and would stay again.

Hotel book in was good as were the staff. Room was ok except very drafty no hot water in the sink and sink plug didn't work. Didn't try the shower or bath as thought they would be the same. Bar area was nice and staff were very good as was breakfast. Not sure would stay again.

Great location, comfy beds, tired decor
We knew the hotel was an older building having stayed before a few years ago but the location right on the seafront is almost unbeatable. Our room was a decent size but looked a bit tatty around the edges, the TV was useless and the cleanliness was ok, but not great. Most importantly the bed was comfortable, the pillows were decent and we slept well. Would we stay here again? For the right price probably yes, as you're only a 5 minute walk from the nicest parts of the city.

Quaint and clean
Very old hotel , so not in pristine condition, but if it were it would lose its character. It’s the oldest hotel in Brighton. Very clean and the staff were lovely, particularly the young lady in the restaurant this morning (15/5). Will definitely be returning

Charming old fashioned hotel
Great old hotel on the seafront. Lovely people at check in, our room was upgraded at no cost to sea view. Room was old fashioned but exactly what you’d expect in an old fashioned hotel. Coffee & tea making things, really comfortable bed! Lovely old lift in the hotel from the 1920’s!! All really charming. Had drinks in the bar, friendly staff, nice bar. Seafront was noisy overnight, Saturday night, but what do you expect in a busy town? Wasn’t a problem. If you want silence don’t book a hotel on a busy seafront!! We had a great stay and couldn’t fault this charming old hotel with all its creaky floorboards, quirks and old fashioned style! Really great position to walk to town & station and great sea view!

The hotel was good but it is in need of a refurb. The only slight problem was that the radiators in the rooms took a long time to heat up.
