The guest house was ckean and comfortable. I had to press codes to get into the hotek. And another code to accesz my room. All went well.i was pleased with everything. My only concern was the niose of others climbing the stairs. There was no noise during the night and i slept well

Nice hotel and communication by email good and response quick by text to issue i had. My room was clean and comfortable for a single en-suite.
Unfortunately the mattress was too soft for my weak back and needs replacing and this issue couldn’t be resolved by changing mattress or moving rooms.
Good mattress is number 2 on my list when staying anyway but due to excellent reviews i assumed this was case and should have asked before i booked,
For this reason I would not be able to stay again and it was also quite a long walk for me from centre Brighton.

Stayed at Colson House a few times this summer. It offers great value - large well presented double rooms, comfortable beds, small but clean bathrooms with decent showers. For a budget guesthouse it’s one of the better ones.

You are sent door entry numbers on the morning of arrival so you are not met by anybody, on arrival we found the bathroom had not been cleaned and there was urine in the toilet (disgustingly unacceptable)and no towels , i called the number on my email and was told if i went to the room next door there would be towels there which there were , appears to be a store room, bottled water is in a decanter tasted like chlorine and was disgusting (doesnt cost much to buy a non branded bottled water for your guests rather than tap water), i have stayed in many hotles and bed and breakfasts, this was poor and not value for money and would not stay here again!
Brighton itself was nice and i enjoyed my one night stay but rhis place needs to get its act together

Got a ground floor room where you can not keep the windows open because of the safety. The smell suggests the place is full of mold. Reseptionist was very helpful and got me a better room. Still it is a very old and shabby place. Also very cold if it is raining outside. The owner doesnt put on heeting even if you ask. As I stayed several nights some days were warm, some were cold. You cannot keep window open in the evening because young people living in the cellar apartment smoke pot and the smoke tracks in your room.

We liked everything about the property. As soon as you enter the property you can see the cleanliness and feel the quietness. Exceptionally clean everywhere. Our room had everything you could need.

this is how you do budget hotels -- with generous love, not mean contempt, for the traveler.

Good points, flight delayed so late check in via codes was great. Let us have late check out because we were in Emergency department of hospital all night of our second night stay.
Gave us a downstairs room on request because explained managing stairs with cases difficult but room had very steep stairs to bathroom which were difficult to manage before accident and impossible after accident.
Good position close to everything.

Excellent property. Very clean, good facilities. The shower was very weak though more like a dribble than an actual shower. Apart from that, cant fault it. We will be back

Comfortable convenient place to stay…..very clean, nice shower, comfortable bed…(single room). The tv didn’t work (no signal ?) but not important as I had my I-pad to watch tv and the WiFi was good. Central to Kemptown amenities…..

Comfortable and my solo room was perfect for one person. Stayed a week and didn't want to spend too much time in my room, but this was perfect walking distance to come and go, get food right around the corner, and great bus access. Was a bit surprised at the private bathroom setup being added in to what used to be a closet, but the thriftiness of the idea made it charming and impressive. Staff was amazingly friendly and helpful.
Special note: IF YOU BOOK THROUGH HOTELS.COM, you will need to call the hotel and provide them your email for the right check in instructions if you don't receive an email directly from them.
