    Single beds were very uncomfortable, I could feel the springs. My daughter said it reminded her of her university mattress. For a hotel, where beds are pretty central to what you do, I found it very surprising. Also lots of constant banging and crashing around in the hotel from just before 7am, so no lie in for us.

    Convenient location for the beach front. Room was pleasant.

    The former care home assisted fittings in the bathroom. Lack of USB outlets. Entrance to the small car parking area not suitable for larger/wider vehicles. The entrance doors were very heavy and took effort to push/pull open.

    Staff were very welcoming, the room was quiet spacious with a kettle, tea and coffee. There was space to store any luggage and hang clothes also. Not many sockets in the room and no USB outlets. Location very good on the seafront with a bus stop outside. A small car park around the back which has a very narrow entrance, it was possible to park on the forecourt when there was no space. A good breakfast room with both cooked and cold offerings. The breakfast is fine and simple manned by helpful staff. There is also a bar which is open overnight. Room cleaning is conducted everyday and the beds in our twin room were comfortable. This property was clearly a former care home and some of the fittings reflect this. Checking in and out was quick and simple.

    The bar could have been a little more comfortable, but the member of staff was friendly.

    Location was great being opposite the beach. There was also a bus stop just outside the hotel which was useful to take us into Brighton Centre/The Marina etc. The Room was spacious and had everything we needed. The staff at breakfast were really friendly and accommodating. Ample choice of breakfast.

    Could hear conversation and TV in room next door. Windy outside and you could hear it against the building. No iron in room. Had to ask at reception and then carry board myself up to 4th floor in lift.

    Taxi service phone available from reception Bus stop outside in both directions comfortable bed shower pressure was very good Room nice comfortable temperature. A lot of hotel rooms are far too hot.

    Quite expensive for what it is. Just under £200 and breakfast was not included. Paid £25 for two breakfasts (one full English and a continental) which are overpriced.

    The hotel was lovely and clean. Good room size (executive room). The decor is a little outdated but well maintained. It is right next to a good bus route (700 to Brighton) The staff were friendly.

    We were not impressed by the breakfast, but then again, we are not used to English breakfast either.

    We had a great sea view. The downside was some traffic noise, but not too bothersome. The room was clean and the beds were excellent.

    A long walk to centre of Brighton but there was a bus. Okay in the summer because you can walk down the sea front.

    Breakfast included and a good choice. Close to the sea front. Couple of nice local pubs.

    Would like to have a better price for inclusive breakfast. The room on its own was enough to pay. We had the Continental last time and it was very average.

    Great view, good-sized room, nice staff. Really good to be able to park car for free at the hotel.
