Just a bit tired
Hotel was warm and welcoming and busy. It’s just very tired and could do with some TLC burnt curtain linings showing through windows from the bar isn’t a good advertisement and it wouldn’t hurt to jet wash the signage outside once a week, it’s an old Beutiful building and understand it takes some maintenance but it’s just feels a bit neglected

The room was fine but dated. Low water pressure. Parking is a problem. We were able to secure parking in their garage for 25 pounds per night but it is very limited. If you are driving, don’t expect to get it and the garage at the other hotel is over 40 pounds per day for non-guests.

The service was excellent and our bed was very comfortable. The place is in need to repair, but we were aware that this has recently been approved by the council (as it’s a listed building). The breakfast is great and I highly recommend adding it to your booking. The views were also great. Would book again.

Hotel was nicely appointed. The water for the shower was a bit of a challenge along with humidity due to venting. But otherwise, very nice! Great location and walkable to everything. Brighton had to offer!

Aging hotel in a great location
Excellent service from staff, however quality of bath/shower was very poor for a £125 per night hotel. Even after leaving it running hardly any hot water for showering. Difficult to turn the shower on as the attachment was very old/yellow from its age. Also, as I stayed for a week I would have expected a smart TV in the room to connect to Netflix etc. Be prepared to wait a long time if you need to use the lift.
