Lovely double room, great staff, good value.
Pros:

I had a double room, on the first floor. It was huge, very clean and comfortable. Many eateries. pubs etc within easy walking distance. Promenade 5 minutes walk, very peaceful. Lovely, helpful staff.

Cons:

It was fine, not great kerb appeal from the road, nor the bedroom window (not the hotels fault), but don't let this put you off.

Despite a great location and great staff, the hotel itself is sadly very grotty
Pros:

It's in a great location, and the staff are very friendly. It smelled fine.

Cons:

It feels like it hasn't been redecorated in 30 years, everything is run down, carpets are fraying and curtain had holes in it. The bed was both lumpy and saggy. The bathroom was okish, but water pressure was v poor. Lighting in the room was terrible, there was a bedside lamp but no working sockets on either side of the bed. And all the sockets at ankle level, so to use the kettle you have to put it on the floor etc. It's really clear that the owners haven't had to stay in any of the rooms, or that if they have, they don't care. Definitely the worst-looking/feeling place I've ever spent a night in. We shortened our stay and left after one night.

Pros:

Very comfortable and clean room. Really enjoyable stay, the staff were friendly and helpful and the guest house is located in a perfect position for all of Hove's amenities. The twin beds were so comfortable and bedding clean and crisp, couldn't fault it.

Cons:

Our room was very warm but fortunately a fan was provided which helped.

An extremely regrettable ordeal.
Pros:

There is a car park at the back.

Cons:

The room smelt like an ashtray, it didn't even have proper curtains, just some rags dangling in front of the windows, which looked onto some scaffolding covered in pigeon shit. The bathroom had a shower curtain on the window and a weak shower that I could not stand under because it was set at the height of dwarf. The whole place was dated, filthy, unwelcoming, noisy, and creepy.
