Well ! you start with a modern reception very well managed . Arrive at your room and it looks very tired for the £220 we are paying . The windows do not fit that well, not a problem we are at least overlooking the sea .We are on the second floor and it is a little noisy from the outside... more

We have stayed in many hotels in Brighton over the last few years and this one has to be the friendliest of all. This is an old world hotel we beleave the oldest in Brighton and yes after 450 years there are a few cracks but everything works well, it is close to the shops and right on the sea... more

I booked this hotel for the August bank holiday weekend, and as we were booking so late, the choice was extremely limited. I was very nervous having read some of the reviews for this hotel, but was pleased to discover that they seemed unfounded. The hotel is in a fantastic location and is overall a decent 3.5ish star hotel (I... more

After reading the previous reviews here, I was expecting worse with this hotel (I booked it because it was one of the cheapest I got in Brighton). I actually found it wasn’t too bad (if you can get a good price that is). The hotel has a nice exterior. Inside the hotel everything is very old-fashioned (or traditional to put... more

We stayed here for two nights and would have no problem staying again. What you have to remember is this is Brighton, so its going to be noisy, and yes despite being on the fourth floor this was. You pay for location so don't expect all mod cons and exemplary cleanliness, as you won't get it here, and from my... more

Good points is central location for Pier and Pavilion. Bad points is central location for nightclubs emptying at 0200. Staff service was good and when we had a problem with a door in the room it was fixed promptly. Meals were excellent, except one time when we had a small portion of root vegetables, but they brought an extra portion... more

Checked in with no problems, reception staff very helpful. Room was small but very clean. Room was at the back of the hotel so very quiet, no noise from drunks or hotels next door!!! The outside could do with a bit of updating. more

I was worried after reading some bad reviews on trip advisor, but decided to book anyway. The hotel had a good looking reception, hallways and restaurant which was a relief. The room was also attractive (upgraded to premium room with sea view). However, problems soon emerged. There were stains on the bed covers and the bathroom was dated and badly... more

The hotel looks pretty tired from the outside, but inside it has a cosy feeling and the front desk staff are very good. The room we had was an old fit-out, but it was clean and well maintained. The bed was very good, and the only sleeping problem was a bit of noise from the nightclub opposite. This room was... more
