Booked via booking.com in February for a twin room stay at this hotel. Checked in at 11.30pm, given room number 183- take note- this room has no windows. We opened the door to an overwhelming stench of mould and damp! It was so bad we didn't even put our suitcases down in the room. We returned to reception, we're told... More

I've given this all 1's despite the fact that the location us actually pretty good because nothing on earth should make anyone want to stay here. A 3* hotel? Hardly deserves a 1*! It really is grimy and past it, a couple of million refurb would do it the world of good. It's a beautiful old building in the best... More

We stayed for two nights, the room was very basic but clean, lovely sea view. The only thing wrong was how cold the room was, and bathroom could of done with a better clean. The photos online were quite deceiving.

Maybe if you didn't drive it'd be ok, but lets face it, if you didn't drive to it your probably living in Brighton. Parking prices pathetic. £10 for 4 hours? Ncp car parks are cheaper than that in Birmingham city centre and I refuse to go there. It was cold, very basic. The only good thing was the food and... More

We recently stayed here as a family of 4 as part of a Rugby Tour. The room was big enough but so dirty, the carpet was disgusting with nasty marks everywhere. A big nasty black mould spot near to the bathroom door showed where the Bath had leaked and the bottom of the doorframe was rotted. There was 1 towel... More

We recently stayed at this hotel and booked independently, not via a coach trip as many of the guests at the hotel seem to be on. The location of the hotel is great, straight across the road from the sea front and Brighton Pier. The hotel is very dated, reception was ok not very big for the volume of people... More
