    The decor is a little tired... chipped tiles on the balcony need replacing, front of building could do with a clean and paint. But it is clean and tidy inside, and it looks like there is an ongoing programme of renovation. The hot breakfast option was not available during our stay. The curtains were pale coloured and didn't keep any daylight or street lighting out of the room. Blackout curtains would be useful. These are tiny points, and would not deter us from going back.

    The room was clean and comfortable. The view was exceptional- exactly as it looked in the pictures online. The staff were all very lovely, and couldn't do enough to help make our stay wonderful. We would definitely stay again.

    The decor is worn.

    Great location. Lovely, friendly, welcoming staff. The hotel is quite dated but part of its charm. We had the room on the 4th floor, with a little window that had a sea view! It was a nice surprise as it wasn’t listed as a sea view room. Managed to park on the drive so that saved us money. There is parking on the road but costs. Can pay by phone which is handy.

    The lift seems abit out dated and clunky as it only allows for 2 people.

    The staff were absolutely lovely and friendly. Couldn’t fault them one bit. We arrived and they asked about the reason for our trip and the manager went out of her way to send us a small congratulatory gesture for our anniversary which was a really lovely touch. The staff are on hand 24 hours so you can always grab items or help if required.

    The view from the balcony, the lovely chatty and smiley staff, size of the room. They also will let you order food and eat in the dining room before 10pm and have a bar. Great location for getting to Brighton Centre without being in a loud area.

    There is parking for about 4 cars on a first come first served basis. Parking in the area seems ample but is regularly exceptionally full.

    The location on the front was excellent and there are many good bars and restaurants.. The hotel itself is comfortable and welcoming. We didn't have breakfast as we needed to leave early each morning. The staff were very polite.

    Bed was a little bit hard and the paintwork is a bit tired here and there, but it's a big old property so upkeep must be challenging.

    The location is fantastic, central for the town, shopping,The Lanes, The Pier, the railway to the marina, bars and restaurants. Wonderful sea views and a balcony. Lovely touches with hairbands and razors in the bathroom, bathrobe and slippers. The staff were great, so friendly and helpful, they couldn't have been any kinder.

    Hotel needs a some tlc, as it feels a bit old, the pelmet of the curtains in my room was hanging off and prob needs a paint refresh - but these are just little things

    Great location on beachfront with a 10-15 min walk to the shops & restaurants , staff were lovely and happy to recommend places to eat. I had a room with seaview and balcony which was great as the weather was good for most of my stay. The room was a good size with comfortable bed, dressing gown and slippers, tea & coffee provided, with nice en-suite bathroom.

    A bit tired in places. Some grout missing in places on bathroom floor tiles. Some of the brickwork on the outside was crumbling just by window in breakfast room. Could do with a freshen up outside. But these minor things didn’t affect our stay.

    Location. Mike at reception was extremely helpful. Super breakfast. Clean and comfy room.
