Not what I expected
Bad points: Arrived at the hotel to find that my booking was not on the list despite booking back in January. The staff member then asked us to wait outside as there was no indoor seating area meaning we had to wait with our luggage. After approx 15 minutes the staff member advised us he ‘found a room’ for us and gave us the key. The hotel is small and very compact, spread over 3 floors. The room I specifically stayed in felt very small and there was not much standing height. The bathroom was tiny and there was a small sink in the corner that was too small to do anything with. The room appears to need a revamp as there is dried marks on the wall that looks like old condensation. The room I stayed in looked nothing like the pictures. There was also a brown smear near the bed frame that I washed off myself, I refrained from flagging this to the staff as I knew there would be no other room to transfer to as the hotel was at capacity. The bed was very firm and uncomfortable and the room was overal very stuffy Good points: very close to city centre and beach front

Avoid at all costs!!!!
I booked a double room they tried to give me a single covered in flies when there was clearly two of us. Room was then changed to what I originally booked but then room was again filled with flies everywhere. Found a secret camera in one of the ceiling lights. The bathroom had to air vents. The window was full of mould. The rooms surrounding us were very loud during the night due to the thin walls. As the hotel is on a slope, our room was slanted with the head of the bed descending. Just a terrible dirty experience. Never again!!!!

Avoid avoid and avoid
Avoid avoid and avoid this place, turn up couple minutes before checking in, and the door was locked, pressed the bell many times and no response, even phoned the three numbers they have pinned in a clear plastic wallet which was trenched and ripped and still no response, stayed around for 30mins and no one came, blue wall outside the front door was falling and very unsafe. Contacted Hotels.com answered their scripted question and they tried to contact them and they didn't have a response. Had an email today (6.3.24) from hotels.com saying I can't have refund as the property (who answered this morning 6.3.24) said they wouldn't give a refund as it was a nonrefundable room (again I will say no one was at the property nor answered the bell or the phone, and also didn't answer when hotels com phoned on the day I was supposed to stay... Please tell me how that is fair.... Please avoid this place and read all the review

Booked for my Daughter for 3 nights a non refundable room , she managed 1 night and checked out and found a friend to stay with for the remaining 2 nights , the bed sheets were stained the room smelt damp and had mould in it , unfortunately as an asthma sufferer this exacerbated her symptoms and she made the decision to leave . I did message the property on the day my daughter left and still have had no response ! Don’t stay here

The room was small, but comfortable, I only stayed a night there, the place is nicely decorated, bathroom facilities are a little small, taps in the sink did not work which need looking at urgently, overall though I was happy for what I paid.

The trip was great and the accomodation was brilliant, the management allowed me to check in early for a small fee which was fantastic. the room was well presented and it was very quiet considering the hotels location and the room i was given was next to their reception area.

This was my worst experience ever. This property is a proper scam and I don’t understand why Ebookers, after other complaints about this hotel, continues to advertise it. The room I was given was completely different from the pics. The room was incredibly tiny, dirty and unsafe . There were 30 degrees in brighton during the weekend - as the hotel doesn’t have AC, it was impossible to sleep with the window close, means that at night (likely I don’t move too much while I sleep) I could fell down from the window as it’s next to the bed and at the same level of the mattress .. crazy! Carpet was also incredibly dirty. Went downstairs as soon as I’ve seen the room and asked to the guys at the reception if I could have moved to a bigger room, paying the difference. The guy, almost smiling, told that there were not room available and as I have booked a single that was the right size for me. I decided to leave the property the day after as I was impossible to sleep there one more night. This was a true scam and I deserve the refund as I truly feel you are not honest with your clients.
