Lovely weekend
Lovely room. Daughter slept well on the sofa bed. I slept like a log in main bed. Aircon. Nice and clean. Great bathroom, and staff very friendly and helpful. Bus stop opposite into town. Cheap Uber to the Amex Stadium. All in all a great stay.

We will definitely book again
Great location - nice walks across the Downs and 2 different buses stop outside the hotel that take you to the sea front and city centre within 20-25 minutes.
The room was immaculately clean. The family room was really spacious.
Breakfast was good - enough choice and good service.

100% Recommend if visiting the Brighton area.
What a lovely place to stay! Located in a lovely area with views of the sea this place is great to stay for a little weekend in Brighton. Check in was really easy and the room was perfect! Breakfast included was a huge bonus. Staff are really helpful and friendly especially the young lady on reception, Can't remember her name but she was a star a real highlight to the place. Will definitely be staying here again!

We have stayed now on several occasions and its friendly and very comfortable.
It would be nice if they recognised we have stayed before but staff don't seem to be informed.
The location is ideal for us as we have family nearby

Great stay, comfortable room with all amenities. Great nights sleep, super fresh breakfast with relaxed friendly staff.
Maybe a few areas could have paint refreshed, but only superficial.

Room 7
Probably the worst room location I have ever stayed in
It was outside the hotel on path to garden and on main road with a door to the room with a very small window and a blind at the door not fitting so let in light
Toilet leaking all night on first night fixed by manager next morning asked for different room was told non available
Had no choice but to stay as it we had to stay to see someone

The room was very clean and spacious, with minimal noise from the bar below. It was well located, with a bus stop right outside, making the city centre easily accessible. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic family and dog friendly stay.
We stayed in a triple room. My wife and I, two boys (11&13) and our dog. The staff were friendly and the room was well equipped and done up to a nice standard, with a lovely view across the Downs towards the sea. We have an evening meal which was very nice. And the included breakfast was also top notch. For the price, I could not fault it, and would certainly recommend staying here.
