It was a very comfortable room with a great bed, shower and all the facilities I needed. The area is safe and residential and well-connected. I only stayed one night, for a local event, but the menu in the pub downstairs looked excellent.

Greeted by friendly and polite staff member and shown to my room. Room was clean and comfortable, bathroom and shower were very nice. Noise from the pub below didn’t bother me in the evening and was all quiet by around 11pm. There must have been a pub restock or something around 5am though, as I was woken by noise below, but I am a fairly light sleeper. On the whole, a very pleasant place to stay, perfect for my needs.

Great location, quiet, clean, and comfortable bed. Facilities a bit basic, damp-smelling en suite, tiny basin, winter quilt in the summer. No usb sockets. Didn't have the chance to eat but menu looks enticing.

Lovely Pub, Nice room, little warm at night
I really enjoyed my stay here. The rooms are very basic digs, bed, tea making stuff, and a nice modern rain shower. There's no fridge or AC as expected in a pub room, I did find though that the room was unusually warm all the time. I kept the window open for my entire stay, had a fan in the room (supplied by the pub) and it was still pretty warm. Not sure where the heat is coming from, it was cool and overcast all the time I was there and the pub downstairs is cool. Who knows, but if you're from USA staying here and are use to AC then this may be a little out your comfort zone.
Staff were amazing, nice friendly clean pub, great selection of food and drinks, and it's tucked away nicely away from the main roads.
Beach is a 5 minute walk, bus into Brighton is even closer, all in all it's a solid 9/10. And if you don't mind a slightly warm room at night, then this will be a 10/10 place for you.

Disappointed.! Price ok. Useful in that it was near our son who we were visiting. It was hot and the room was very hot. There was a fan. The window was fixed so that it would not open beyond 6 inches. The bed was big and comfortable. The tv was good . The bathroom was ok but the loo seat was yucky and wobbly. No excuse for that. I cleaned it up with loo paper and water. Think the room was cleaned with a lick and a promise. The entrance key lock was nearly jammed until they oiled it. Management a tad lacking I think. Price ok. Need to park on street - Pay by Phone App required.
