The bathroom was clean, the toilet was flushed properly by previous occupant. The sheet on the bed was like it was a turn down from the previous occupant. The was red stain on the sheets. We had to sleep on top of the duvet covers and cover ourselves with our jacket. No a great experience for the price

It was okay for what we needed but not worth the £110 charge. The room was very small, just enough space to walk around the bed. Paint work was patchy and most of it was quite shabby. Reception was a little desk with a sign on and free water (that was good but it wasn’t chilled). The bathroom was modern but only one of us got a hot shower. It was cold quickly. It didn’t look like a hotel. More a converted building with tiny rooms. Not close to anything useful and was £15 in a taxi to the seafront but we didn’t book for that so it was okay. Would value it more worth around £60 a night

The room was pretty tiny, and the traffic on the street below was loud. The gentleman who checked me in was very polite and carried my suitcase for me. There is only one restaurant nearby that was pretty lousy. Otherwise, I had to walk at least 20 minutes to get to other restaurants in either direction. It is very close to a very lovely park for walking and relaxing (Stanmer Park). I guess it was ok for the price.

Quite simply disgusting a full refund has been requested. Our team left the hotel and found alternate accommodation. Stay away from the venue under all circumstances.

Very nice place to say. Sound of the pub downstairs did affect comfort/sleeping. Courteous gentleman booked me in and offered advice on substitute places for a meal and the sights. Thanks sir.

Stayed here a few times when these has been no other alternative. Does the job but it’s not very clean - it’s noisy from the pub below - and the staff are amongst the most unhelpful I’ve experienced. That said, there are worse places and if your just sleep and go for a night then it’s ok.

Says parking available but it’s on street and difficult to find. Room just fits the bed. No space for suitcase or to make tea but there is a kettle on top of a fridge which is on the bedside table. My room had spiders on ceiling and flies on the walls. Noisy till early hours. Bathroom was nice but some mould. Stain on quilt cover.

It was a rushed booking due to a family emergency, and needed to get something booked asap, and didn't read all the reviews. Had we had time to look for something better, we wouldn't have booked here! Sorry. When our Brighton family heard where we were staying, their faces said it all! Ruby is a local pub, for local people, with a hotel above, 15 minutes from Brighton centre, by car. 1 star for the staff, who were lovely. 2nd star for the fridge, TV, and free water. Very small rooms, so take some shinpads!

We booked very late (around 11:45) and travelled to the hotel. The reception was closed at the time and we saw in an email that late check ins needed early warning. This was not highlighted at the time of booking. Staff appeared and we were checked in after some confusion about the room and approval of key release. Glad to find somewhere to stay but this delay on arrival was worrying!

The room was tiny. Having paper cups for coffee is unacceptable. The venue did not offer any food - but this was not made clear on their website. There was no storage space for clothes. Had the price been £50 it would have sent a warning message and it would have still been overpriced. This should not be on your website.

Room was filthy, dust, mould and dead bugs! Advertised as having a restaurant but on arrival were told 'we dont do food'. Mattress was ancient with springs coming through. We complained and were offered another room which was exactly the same. Ended up leaving and finding another hotel. Staff were not bothered at all when i said id be putting in a complaint and that we couldnt stay there. Barely even acknowledged us. Dont be fooled by the lovely photos!! They are definitely not recent!
