Such a great time in this hotel. Had a really comforting feel, nice sized and comfortable room. The bar had a nice vibe and were very welcoming with our two dogs. Breakfast was very nice

Staff were amazing and friendly. Fire alarm went off whilst we were there. Staff felt with it in a quick, efficient and very professional manner.
This is the second time we have stayed and would 100% visit again

Hotel book in was good as were the staff. Room was ok except very drafty no hot water in the sink and sink plug didn't work. Didn't try the shower or bath as thought they would be the same. Bar area was nice and staff were very good as was breakfast. Not sure would stay again.

We knew the hotel was an older building having stayed before a few years ago but the location right on the seafront is almost unbeatable. Our room was a decent size but looked a bit tatty around the edges, the TV was useless and the cleanliness was ok, but not great. Most importantly the bed was comfortable, the pillows were decent and we slept well. Would we stay here again? For the right price probably yes, as you're only a 5 minute walk from the nicest parts of the city.

Very old hotel , so not in pristine condition, but if it were it would lose its character. It’s the oldest hotel in Brighton. Very clean and the staff were lovely, particularly the young lady in the restaurant this morning (15/5). Will definitely be returning

Great old hotel on the seafront. Lovely people at check in, our room was upgraded at no cost to sea view.
Room was old fashioned but exactly what you’d expect in an old fashioned hotel. Coffee & tea making things, really comfortable bed! Lovely old lift in the hotel from the 1920’s!! All really charming. Had drinks in the bar, friendly staff, nice bar.
Seafront was noisy overnight, Saturday night, but what do you expect in a busy town? Wasn’t a problem. If you want silence don’t book a hotel on a busy seafront!! We had a great stay and couldn’t fault this charming old hotel with all its creaky floorboards, quirks and old fashioned style! Really great position to walk to town & station and great sea view!

The hotel was good but it is in need of a refurb. The only slight problem was that the radiators in the rooms took a long time to heat up.

The room we got was moist and mouldy all over, we could not stay there. We asked for a refund to move hotel, but got a new upgraded room immediately instead. The staff was really helpful and friendly, but the new room also has mould in the bathroom curtains. The air in the room was breathable tho so we just stayed there cause after having to talk to them and find a solution we did not want to spend more time doing it again.

Hotel is good, breakfast was poor. Vegetarian sausages sent back twice as they were still frozen ! They did not charge us for the breakfast as we were unhappy, so that was good

Lovely hotel, parking is good if you can get in the hotel car park but extortionate if not at the nearest car parks this is the only thing that puts me off booking again, hotel itself lovely old building, room comfortable and very clean, staff all lovely, friendly & helpful. I was there for work so wasn’t sight seeing but it is opposite the sea front and close to shops restaurants etc. Breakfast is buffet style but do specific requests if you ask breakfast was nice.

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 hotel was nice. It's Old as the name implies. Clean but really tired, needs a refresh badly. The reception staff was nice, no issues. Conveniently located.

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!

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.
