We arrived about 6:45pm on 11/05/2013 to find a space available to park the car as agreed. This alone is worth its weight in gold in this area.

Good location in Hove. Free parking (a big bonus anywhere in Brighton). Very pleasant and helpful staff. Nice public areas. Bedrooms (we stayed in 206) not bad - clean, quite well furnished, slightly tired looking, awful view from windows, extremely small (room 206 showed signs of having previously been a single room which now has a small double bed in...

Stayed at this hotel for two nights with my boyfriend, and overall a pleasant stay was had. We stayed in room 307 and I can only assume that this has yet to be updated. However, saying that, yes the room was dated and needs a lick of paint, but the linen was clean and the water was hot. If I... More

An awful experience! I had booked for myself and my partner to stay in the hotel the night before running in the Brighton Marathon. Upon returning from a meal in town I decided to have a shower to help calm the nerves before sleeping. Unfortunatley the shower did not prodcue any hot water and the same then happened the morning...

This is a disappointing review and naturally we were sorry to learn that the guest felt issues within the hotel in some way detracted from the amazing experience of participating in the Brighton Marathon - a great event.

I stayed at Courtlands for two nights as I had business in the area. I would sum it up as being perfectly adequate and clean, but in need of a little TLC in places. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom somewhat dated with bath and shower attachment, but no fitted curtain or screen. Water pressure in my room was very weak. (Plan... More

The website has an access policy which states the bar and restaurant are on the ground floor implying that it is fully accessable to disabled visitors. What it does not mention is that the restaurant is accessed by a short staircase, which we discovered when we went for breakfast! The waitress was quite rude to us because my husband could... More

I stayed here for one night, great fact the hotel having on site free parking, based on first come first served. The rooms were OK, stains on the walls from possibly an old damp problem. Bath room was lovely, and everything else was good. All what you would expect for a basic old building hotel.
