This property was nothing at all like advertised. It was dirty, tiny and stank of smoke. There was no breakfast option, my room was tiny with very poor and outdated facilities. I would not stay here again, despite the low price and convenient location.

My room at Motel Schmotel was great. The room was small and basic but had all amenities I needed. My lamp stopped working but I’m sure if I had reported it, it would’ve been replaced. Qi An was a lovely host and carried my bag up to the fourth floor for me. Good price and close to the city centre - great for solo travellers and business trips like mine.

The property was fine apart from a drunk in the room next door shouting and smashing things , was very un nerving , and no visible staff to complain too .

The property is close to town which is great and the staff responded quickly to any questions or needs. However, the place wasn’t properly cleaned and I have several bite marks around my body from bed bugs for this reason I wouldn’t recommend this place

Hotel is basic. No reception or so. Basic cleaning on the day. Room was old and a bit dated. However, clean. Toilet didn't flush properly. It did the job to sleep there, but, not more than that. so, if you are okay with a very basic, dated but clean room, it will do.

It's quiet, but you're prone to end up with a room full of flies if you leave the window open too long. Nice location, though.

A step back in time, but cozy enough and really well placed in Brighton.

Convenient location, nice staff/hotel manager.

Heating was maxed out making the room stuffy, shower was too small to use comfortably

If you’re a smoker then perhaps this would be ok for you. It smelt so strongly of smoke that I didn’t want to be there at all. Mould in the bathroom too. Sheets were clean, toilet and shower were also clean, but the mould made me just want to get out of there. Booked two nights, only stayed for one.

Clean room, basic, exactly as expected. Only strange aspect is the reference of a reception area as there isn’t one. Needed to call the number for someone arrive and give us our key. No idea where you could have left your case as advertised

Considering the late booking, location and price this was one of the cheapest locations available for our trip. Location was excellent, central and also quiet. The only issue was we were asked prior to arrival of our arrival time which we gave, however when we arrived no email had been sent with the details to let us in to the property and we had to call someone to come and check us in. Other than this, the room was ok, not the best but again considering the price, it was fine for what we required.

Convenient for one night stay. Room was quite small but had the basic amenities needed. Perfect location. Staff helpful and have good communication in regards to checking in late.

I thought this property was very disappointing and overpriced the decor and renovations were not great but it was just about purposeful for a solo traveller . The picture on the travel website was obviously taken in better times , I thought the best thing about the Hotel was the central location to the city and seafront . There is no reception here , I would not return in the future .

We were given the opportunity to upgrade to a bigger room for an extra £5 which was great. The room was ideal to 5 minutes to the location of seafront and shops. The only issue was the room was not cleaned daily because we were late in waking up. The basic creature comforts were good. It would of been better for my friend and me to have separate electronic keyes to enter hotel and room at times to do our own stuff. The room was clean and tidy. The price per night was good

We stayed in the ground floor room next to the entrance which honestly isn’t fit to be a bedroom. Every time someone entered or left the hotel the walls of the bedroom would shake and wake us up. A guest arrived at 1am and was banging on the door and yelling to be let in which was very scary to wake up to in the middle of the night. Plus we could hear all the conversations from people outside on the street as the walls were so thin. That ground floor bedroom should be a check in desk or guest lounge as it’s absolutely not fit to be a bedroom. Very disappointed in our stay, definitely won’t be coming back.
