This property is very close to the beach, pier, restaurants, a laundrette, and bus stops. The proprietor was extremely helpful with storing our luggage until check in time and even took our luggage to the room for us once the room was ready. My only complaint is that it does not have A/C. The room did have a fan, though, and we could open the window to let some air in. Overall I was very pleased to find this little gem! It was perfect for my weekend stay.

Brighton stay

Was there on business, took partner, paid for a sea view, but the ground floor flat next to front door didn’t have a sea view unless you put your head against the window on the ground floor next to public walking on the pathway. Was close to the sea and the town centre and pier, with lots to do in the area

Phillip

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
No directions to car parking. No staff available to consult. All rooms bar rooms 1 & 2 are NOT on the ground floor. Can end up walking up 8 flights of very narrow stairs depending on the room number. 2 rooms per floor level. The ad does not reference stair access. Floor sloped very badly. Pub nearby and pub patrons still noisy until after midnight on Monday night. However, excellent proximity to Brighton foreshore. Good to have a microwave and fridge.

Nice place to stay for younger visitors, great position near the beach with good facilities. Not good for anyone with mobility disabilities unless you can book a ground floor room, I'm disabled and had a top floor room so climbing six flights of stairs wasn't easy or welcome. Good value though

We never expected about this room which is very spacious with sea view. This room truly offers a remarkable sense of spaciousness. The breathtaking sea view adds an undeniable touch of luxury. A dining kitchen combination provides both convenience and a wonderful space for entertaining. It's easy to imagine spending countless hours enjoying the ambiance of this lovely room.

Not a bad stay, but be honest with advert

Expected a room like the one depicted in photos. The room was nice, but small, with no aircon. Paid for parking voucher, but no parking available so paid for NCP parking. The wording of “off-street parking” should be changed, as that is not the case.

Convenient location; large room with sea view

I wouldn't call it a hotel. There's no reception and no breakfast - it's more like Airbnb accommodation. The floors have no sound insulation so you can hear the footsteps upstairs.

Liked: Amenities
The room was okay - a bit tired and could have been cleaner. It wasn't disgusting but it wasn't immaculate. It's not exactly cheap either so I can't let it slide on that basis. Feels like it could do with a bit of love and a deep clean. Bed comfy, location is brilliant and I like that there's a proper fridge in the room. I've stayed here before and I would again.
