    The pillows were a bit flat. And breakfast was expensive for what was being offered.

    Great location, comfortable room with a balcony and an amazing shower. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lived being so close to the seafront and the Lanes.

    The food was inadequate, very expensive for the size of the portions. It was very quiet in the restaurant and it felt like they did the bare minimum in terms of presentation and portions. We spoke to the waiter and manager who said the portions of fish were particularly small because they have to stay within the group hotel policy of 200g per sea bass. I had one fork of actual fish on my piece.

    The Bistro food was very poor and we had to complain to the management

    The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The shower was great and the bath, well it was a bath! Breakfast was nice and good quality and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Location was right next to The Lanes and a short walk practically everywhere from the i360 to the Pier. Even the marina is only about a 30-40 mins walk away.

    The room looked a bit tired and electrical plugs were inconveniently placed. It was hard to find a good plug for the kettle and hair dryer. The view from the room was not great.

    The room was cosy and very clean. Amenities were great - including good quality teas, coffees and toiletries. Check-in was a bit delayed but staff made sure we were comfortable. The hotel has a lovely bar. Staff were very helpful and polite. Location is great!

    The Reception staff when I initially tried to check in I felt were under pressure and we’re not very caring about my luggage just being left lying which I wasn’t happy about it should put the secure location anyway because I walked in and taken my whole which was Louis Vuitton so obviously attract sorts of people to want to steal it. I have stayed in central hotel Dave all over the country and that’s the first time that’s happened. I felt that the Stafford under pressure and I took blame over the management leaving one staff member and reception and a queue of people very unprofessional, especially this is a tremendous problem for anybody.

    Great location and lovely architecture and style

    Lack of parking and the price of any parking within a decent distance. The room was a little smelly and some noise late at night from fellow customers who were drunk and loud. Got a call from the hotel when we were out in the town eating our dinner to ask about the room service we had ordered. We didn’t order room service so this made us worry and in return to the hotel I asked what had happened and the reception couldn’t really explain…..did not put my mind at ease.

    Location was fabulous.

    The pillows were very soft and so not the most comfortable for me - but I can be quite pillow fussy! Not a problem for us but our room was up 4 flights of stairs, which could be tricky for someone with mobility issues.

    The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect, being on the seafront within throwing distance of the beach. The room we stayed in had very effective double glazing which meant we didn't hear any of the noise from partygoers or groups sitting outside bars, which was brilliant. The staff were great, very friendly and accommodating. The facilities in the room were good, with Nespresso machine as well as tea-making. The treats, bed and water/food bowls for our dog as well were really appreciated.

    there was a lot of stairs involved in it because there is no lift however that being that is because it’s an old building the other problem I found was when I walked in initially to check in there was only one reception staff for the reception staff phone the police was really busy and there was luggage and bags lying around everywhere I said could I leave my bag? She said it was Louis Vuitton brief she said just leave it there in full view of everybody could’ve walked in and just taken It, so I double back and eventually got a receipt offer but the whole experience of the initial check and just happened. Happy to leave my bag lying for any Tom Dicker Harrie to pick it up. I thought was very very poor so you really need to sort out the reception staff when you walk in on that particular branch.

    I’ve stayed in that group many times the hotels are all slightly quirky and unusual buildings so that was good

    Was given the choice of ground floor (but noisy) or third floor (but lots of steps which is fine) so opted for quiet room. However, room on top floor was hot even with air con, noisy pigeons and low ceilings. Bathroom was clean but in need of maintenance.

    Interesting maze of a building. Lovely bar! Comfy bed, I’m sure some of the other rooms were amazing.

    While the beds and linen were good quality, one bed has clearly been used a lot more and was sagging and quite uncomfortable. Airconditioning had very little effect on cooling the room (we know the seasons and weather have been changeable lately).

    Breakfast was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful with all interactions and they room upgrade was appreciated. Bathroom was lovely and spacious with good quality products.
