    Instead of a king size bed it's two single beds, which is not mentioned in the ad, but that's nothing major.

    Quiet location, 10 min walk to the city centre. Facilities were great, as it's self check in getting in was easy despite me arriving outside usual check in hours. Plenty of snacks and breakfast items available in the room. I will definitely be back!

    The only issue I had was the shower. It wouldn't stay hot without messing with the knobs. Other than that the room was fantastic.

    The location was fantastic. The little touch of having breakfast items also was lovely.

    Everything was great, super easy communication with the staff (Jeremy) and very clear info for check in. My room was the perfect size for me but I think it would be great for a couple too. At a walking distance from the city centre and the lovely sea promenade. Lovely neighborhood. Thank you very much for hosting me!

    It is a relaxing stay because Jeremy and his team have worked hard to make it so

    Because space is tight there is only the bed to sit on and because it is a nice soft bed it is difficult for me at 66 to negotiate a sitting position against the wall. I can't think there of an answer for this but I manage.

    The check in procedure is simple and the room is exceptionally clean. There is a welcome pack of beverages so you can sit and make a "cuppa" at the end of your journey without opening a bag. There is always a couple of bottles of water in the chiller as well. The room is pretty well soundproofed from the rest of the building. I was in a single room and space is tight but acceptable. Security entry to the building gives confidence, and WiFi is excellent. Bedding exemplary.

    • Small Double Room - Burgundy & Cream
    • Stayed 4 nights

    We stayed in Room 5 which is a small double. We knew this when we booked but with hindsight we would have been better booking a larger room as although the room was fine the bathroom was on the small size and the shower was very small which was not ideal for my partner.

    Correspondence with the host was seamless both before and during our stay. We were given all the information that was needed in an easy to understand format and any questions we did have were quickly answered. The guest house is located in a quiet street and yet very close to everything and well placed for public transport. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The room was clean and tidy and warm. Although the guest house had other guests in residence it was very quiet and our sleep was not disturbed. We would stay here again if we returned to Brighton but would book a different room.

    The shower was a little snug. That's all .

    Our host Jeremy was beyond helpful , he welcomed us warmly and explained flawlessly how to check in and it was very easy and efficient, I let him know about some minor issues and he was extremely kind and understanding even providing us with wonderful solution even though our stay was short only lasting two days. We felt welcomed throughout our entire stay. The showers have good water pressure and the room are well equipped with amenities, including a TV, microwave in on of the rooms ( we swapped rooms on the second night) , the mini fridge was stocked with a satisfactory amount of water , and there was no shortage of biscuits snacks and drinks both hot and cold. The bed was comfortable and the heater was efficient meaning we did not get cold in the night time.

    leaving.

    everything. location was brilliant, could see the water and picturesque townhouse lined street from my room. communication was fast and effective. all requests met (parking sorted for four days with a cpl of hours notice from me) and more (late checkout offered without requesting, provided midstay housekeeping without charge or request). clearly care about their beautiful hotel and ensuring guests have the the most enjoyable stay. couldn’t recommend enough. Kent town is by far the nicest area that is central as well. littered with cute cafes and wide variety of high quality restaurants as well as local grocers, boutiques and more. i hesitated staying here because the price was cheaper and blue facade made me think it would be on the lower end of bnb and so unclean or worn down, as many have become. it was anything but, immaculately clean, well equipped and plush comfy bed. I wasn’t planning to come back to Brighton but will be coming back just to stay here.

    Parking was a problem downstairs. Have to park very far if you have suit cases then it was not convenient. Matress was not very confortable but okay for a short stay.

    We came for Brighton College entrance exams and this property's location is excellent, close to the centre and 8 minutes walk to the school. Also very close to the beach, and not long drive to the white cliffs, we did enjoy the afternoon after the exams. Owner Jeremy was extreamly helpful.
