Pros:

Cheap and cheerful, mostly did job for 1 night. Close by to everything and very near the seafront which is nice. Could’ve been cleaner, lots of limescale and crud in the shower and some hairs around the place but not awful. Staff were friendly and welcoming. My main issue was we had x2 drunk men knock on our door at 3am and then try to break in when their key card didn’t work (presumably thinking it was their room). When we spoke to them, they said they’d been sent here and tried to get inside again. Eventually they left but it was quite nerve wracking and could’ve been very dangerous for a solo traveller, of which there were many in this hotel. They did have a 24hr desk but we were unsure about leaving the room to go to it as we could still hear them shouting and stomping around outside our room/corridor for over an hour afterwards, so just gave up and went to sleep. When we told the desk in the morning, they were very apologetic but I can’t understand why the attendant who let them inside in such a state didn’t walk them directly to their room? Or even hear the commotion of them shouting as we were on the ground floor. Seemed a bit remiss of night staff and did mean myself and my partner didn’t feel too safe. I understand other people’s behaviour isn’t their fault but I wonder if it could’ve been prevented by the person at the desk, presumably why they have a 24hr desk.

Pros:

Very nice beach front hotel - our room was massive with a lovely sea view, comfy bed, and nice feel to it, the only negative was the shower was slow to heat up - but was fine when it got going. Breakfast was pretty decent - the toasters were a bit slow, and the coffee wasn’t great but for the price couldn’t really complain. I would happily stay in the hotel again.

Pros:

I stayed here with my 2 children and found it to be great for what we wanted. The room was clean and spacious and the beds were super comfy. The location was right opposite the west pier, about 10 min walk to the palace pier. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Didn't have the breakfast so cant comment on that. But overall it was perfect for what we needed and great value for money.

Pros:

Pet friendly but other hotels near by offer the same service so dont bother. I would not stay there again for free. It is very run down than it looks on line.
On a very busy road, It was like four walls and a bed on the motor way. Staff are very casual and often absent from reception and service is poor, had to ask for complementary items as they were not refilled even in communal areas.

Great location, clean smart room overlooking the beach. Parking in Brighton is expensive. We put the car in the car park next to the hotel for two nights at a cost of £60!

Amazing hotel
Pros:

Amazing hotel in a great location. Room was spacious and very clean the bed comfortable and shower was very good. No tv in room which wasn't a issue as we read our books but who stays in a room to watch tv. Coffee and tea making facilities in room and a hair dryer. The bedding was fresh and clean. Towels were lovely and big and shampoo and condioner was provided in shower. The staff were absolutely brilliant very polite friendly and helpful 😀. I don't understand the negative reviews. Breakfast was a nice variety of cereals toast crumpets cheese and ham toasties and tea and coffee and juice. Me and my partner will definitely be back. We were in room 308 and it was a lovely room with double bed. Thankyou to katherine and all the staff for making our 2 night stay enjoyable.
