"The property was great, quite but in a perfect location. Valentina was very helpful with suggestions of where to go and arranging breakfast for the following day."
"Comfortable stay. Was just a base for a couple of nights while I was at a work conference during the day and out at night. Room was compact but fine. Shower was very powerful which was good. Only slight negative was the WiFi being a bit spotty but was just about able to watch YouTube and BBC iPlayer on my iPad"
"Fantastic location, clean and perfectly set up for a couple for a night.
The host Danny was incredibly helpful, friendly and accessible to all my enquiries."
"Lovely clean room in hotel located very close to the seafront and pier. Situated in Kemptown which is a vibrant area full of independent shops and restaurants. Owner was very helpful and check-in smooth. Parking is a bit of a nightmare but that's Brighton and in the end we were able to find a spot a few streets away. Really enjoyed our stay at Kempfield House."
"This was the best hotel stay we have had in Brighton! It was clean, the lady who greeted us was accommodating and lovely. We would definitely stay here again."

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. The apartment was clean, comfortable and very conveniently located. The only tiny, tiny complaint I can make is that the bed was really firm. However, I would stay there again. Everything else was great.
The food was fantastic & plentiful. It was a friendly and generous attitude. I was treated as family. I was there as memorial to my brother & his wife who lived Brighton; sadly they are both gone ....I really needed that friendliness 😳🌹 thank you
The location is excellent. There are many places to eat nearby, as well as the waterfront. The room and bathroom were spacious. It is not air-conditioned, which would have been an issue if the weather were different during our stay. As it was, we arrived on a very windy day that resulted in a continuous thumping noise from our room door. Fortunately, a quick-thinking staff member provided a piece of cardboard that stopped the rattling.
Nice very quiet spot. Just a few steps away from the sea. Staff very
Helpful and friendly. We had such nice chats with the owner and Valentine one of the staff.
The staff was friendly and this was a very comfortable stay. We were, however, up 4 flights of steep stairs and it was a bit of a schlep to get up and down. Would not recommend for anyone not fit. Not an issue for us though.
The location near the sea & pier was excellent. The staff were wonderfully helpful and friendly. Felt like family. Bathroom is a bit small, but that's to be expected so not an issue. Breakfast buffet was great, one of the best at any small hotel we've stayed.
I give this place a 10 because I have no complaints. None. It was clean, tidy, everything worked as it should, and it was great. I was born and raised in this neighborhood, and know it well. Lots of shops, cafe, coffee shops etc. Very easy to get around. I have no complaints whatsoever. We had a really nice two weeks here from the USA and would definitely choose it again.
Very responsive and helpful communication. Canceled flights meant very late arrival and the directions that were given to get in were so clear and easy .
Nice room with windows that open easily really clean. with a breakfast tray . But the location is so wonderful with coffee
Fantastic location, although you need to be fit for the stairs. There is an emergency number for any issues
Security is great
The rooms are well equipped, and even have a fridge
You may want to take some milk in with you as there is ample instant and real coffee along with tea and sugars but nowhere near enough milk
A parking permit is a must as parking is a nightmare
Location was excellent, right off James Street, with plenty of restaurants, pubs, grocery stores nearby. Also close to the beach promenade and Palace Pier. The hotel is on the older side, but still very comfortable, good hot water, great mattress. Owner Claudia was always available to answer questions and gove recommendations. Thanks for helping me with my suitcase!
Oscar and Herve are amazing. Oscar really truly went above and beyond to help us out after our airline did us dirty. It's a great hotel in a great location and I will definitely be staying again.
The Marina House was so lovely! Quiet and cozy room just off the busiest areas of Brighton. One of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever had! No onsite staff, so it’s all self check-in, but it was an incredibly easy process. We would absolutely stay again!
