Good location and easy to get around. Hotel was old, tired and dated and in a poor state of repair in various places. The room was also ridiculously warm and for some reason the heating was on full blast all the time. Never a 4 star hotel. Staff friendly and polite

On arrival reception was lovely and staff amazing.However once you get inside the lift it changes drastically.Damp patches everywhere through the hotel and ceiling hanging down in places.We had to change our room as it looked nothing like the pictures on the website.Staff were fantastic and moved us straight away.Second room was not much better as our door was hanging off and nets all ripped but bathroom better than the first one and cleaner.But despite the decor we would definitely stay again and it was fun and our stay in Brighton was fab☺️

Firstly the hotel was nice and clean and the gentleman that served me during check in was very nice and informative. The lady during check out was smiley friendly and all round seemed to be a lovely lady and I couldn’t fault the 2 minute interaction I had with her…definitely made a lovely start to my day. Only issue was the parking. When booking it stated there was parking available when I questioned it during check in I was informed that there was limited spaces and all had been booked which meant I had to spend an extra £40 for the lanes car park but understanding that it wasn’t the staffs fault at all I didn’t moan however more spaces would be lovely. Apart from that I couldn’t fault the room, service or facilities. Would potentially stay again :)

Very convenient location. Pleasant reception, nice staff. Comfortable room, clean. Hotel needs a revamp, it’s tired, but it’s fine for a stop over. Very good price midweek!
