Very enjoyable stay
Pros:

The hotel was excellent for a 3 star hotel. Great location on the sea front. We chose it because of free parking. The free car park was full some evenings but the staff found a place for us to park anyway. So they were very helpful.

My go-to place in Brighton & Hove, always a great pleasure.
Pros:

Wonderful staff, great in-house Thai restaurant and bar, free parking. Spacious rooms with clean bathrooms, good water pressure in the shower. Breakfast menu leaves no wishes open. A room swap after I decided to stay longer than originally planned after the first night went very smoothly.

Cons:

Not really a negative, but if you’re focused on Brighton you need to know that it’s a little over 3 km to get there. But there are Beryl bikes for rent nearby, so you can save yourself from having to look for the sparse and expensive parking in Brighton itself.

Gutes zweckmässiges Hotel für unsere eine Übernachtung, genug Platz, sauber, freundliches Personal.
Pros:

schönes grosses Zimmer und Badezimmer. Sauber. Leckeres Frühstück.

Cons:

Da das Hotel gleich an einer Durchgangsstrasse/Promenade liegt war es in der Nacht sehr laut. Das wussten wir aber vorher schon und hat uns deshalb nicht übermässig gestört.

Excellent stay close to where we needed to be!
Pros:

The check-in process was easy and I was able to call to confirm things if needed. I was especially happy to have free parking at the hotel available which was difficult to find from other venues in the town!

Cons:

The room could have done with airconditioning for comfort since our room was sea facing (and major road facing) on a warm night and we needed the window open to cool it down, making the night more noisy than ideal.`

Good location and nice staff, but pricey for a fairly standard room without breakfast
Pros:

The staff were friendly and the room was ok

Cons:

We returned from a night out and went to have a shower but found it was running on cold. We were also put in a room near reception which was fairly noisy.

Etape d'une nuit et visite de la ville Brighton
Pros:

Chambre parfaitement bien équipée - l'emplacement peu idéal 45 minutes à pieds du centre-ville, mais il y à un arrêt de bus en face - il y a des places de parc à disposition mais il faut les réserver
bon petit déjeuné type continental.

Cons:

Difficile de parquer
