Good value for a night stay

Had a sea view room top of hotel , decor was old fashion but the beds was comfy hotel was clean and had everything we needed . Was given chocolate truffles on arrival and staff was very pleasant.

The decor and hotel is very old , we was top of hotel woken by the pigeons and seagulls , shower and bath was fine lovely clean bedding and towels with soap shower gel and shampoo . Ceiling in the room was in need of disrepair , the rooms needed decorating and the rod obviously has a leak in past , not nice looking up at ceiling , the remote control had no batteries and the toilet had a crack down the toilet in side so was a bit worried to sit on it . But other then that was happy for £110 inclusive of brekkie

Special occasion with friends and family

This is a great location and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

This is an old iconic building, be prepared for this. We didn’t have any problems with this but don’t expect modern rooms. Other facilities were very good and worked well for our needs.

Location is great but hotel is old, dated and tired.

The location of the hotel is very good, on the seafront and close to shops and restaurants. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Beds were wobbly and uncomfortable and rooms were extremely hot. We would have kept the window open but our room faced a loading dock and there were lorries coming in and out all day and night so it was very noisy. It took more than 5 minutes for the water in the shower to heat up, which is a terrible waste of water. One of the lamps and several of the plug sockets in our room did not work. Parking is extremely limited and was not available when we stayed. Lifts are tiny (could barely fit 4 people). Overall the hotel is passable but there are many things that made it feel old and tired.

Good location but dirty

It was a great location and staff were nice.

The 5th floor, where we stayed, reeked of damp. The elevator was tiny and slow. I have disabilities and couldn't manage the stairs. The room was dated, the shower was coming out of the wall, and the bath was dirty. Tge capets in the halls were very dusty around the edges. I didn't look much further coz I didn't want to know.

Solid choice for an overnight in Brighton, with a retro feel.

We last stayed here 34 years ago, though we know Brighton well. The price was good for New Year's Eve. The room was a little tired looking but comfortable and the staff were welcoming. The location is very handy for buses, trains and the town centre. A solid choice.

Breakfast was a bit boring and limited for 15 pounds a head. The public spaces look quite past their best with some furnishings seeming to date from when I came here as a teenager.

Great for a short stay in Brighton

Nice big room on the second floor well away from the noisy bar next door at street level. Lots of writing space at the desk plus another small table and chairs. No need to go out for a dinner, food available in the Messdeck.

Slow, scruffy lift.

I’m having reservations done on my place in Brighton, this is my “go to” hotel to stay when the builders are in!

The warm and friendly staff, and nothing is a problem. It’s also, nice to deal with a team with such great fun, but the utmost professionalism.

Very good

Comfy beds, great location and love music going on in the bar, nice breakfast on first day shame no scrambled eggs as an option but plenty of juice, melon and toast also.

The shower had a mind of its own. Room was very hot even though the weather was not great but thankfully there was a fan in the wardrobe. Breakfast was hot and miss, coffee disgusting so had tea second morning. No tomatoes on Sunday and only one type of egg usually there would be scrambled. Lighting really poor for ladies getting ready to go out so bring a make up mirror!

Nice hotel, great location. Don't drive!

Great location right on the beach front.

Very small car park on first come, first served basis which is not possible to book. The lanes car park opposite, to which guests are directed once the car park is full, is extremely expensive. Decor and facilities in general are old and worn.

The elderly lady on the beach

Location - right on Brighton beach. Harry the parking garage guy was cheerful and gave excellent service.

This is one of the oldest hotels in Brighton and it shows. You could say it's character but it's just really old and you have to navigate the many floor levels and leans. Food and bar prices were a bit high too.

Fantastic weekend break

Great location and a nice building. Good to sit outside in the sunshine with a drink and people watch😂.

The hotel is quiet tired and could do with a few quid spent on it.

Lovely stay on the sea front

The location is fantastic, the room was lovely and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The check in was simple and quick and same with the check out. Being on the sea front was brilliant. Breakfast was really nice too and the staff there couldn't do enough for you.

I think it is in need of a refurbishment. It's a little tired and needs a bit of work. There are cracks in the walls and it needs a lick of paint. Having said that, it was still cleaned nicely enough, just needs updating that's all.
