Pros:

Easy going staff allowed me to check in early and then kept my suitcase safe on check out so I may wander about Brighton without it. Comfortable and clean room. Quiet as bar not open but loved the earplugs being provided!

Just no
Pros:

Very close to the beach. That’s about it. Wasn’t at all noisy like others have reported, however…I’ll not be back. I reported the toilet as blocked when I arrived. They said they’d sorted it. Clearly not. It flooded the bathroom with water, paper and poo. Not a good look Hotels.com

Pros:

To be totally honest for how much we paid over £100 a night I was very shocked at this hotel and was expecting much more for the money.
I will start with the good and say staff at reception are exceptional and very friendly and helpful and staff went above and beyond. But that is were the positive ends I'm afraid.
The toilet stank and would not flush properly, cracks in the mirror and broken toilet roll holder, not what you expect when paying over £100 a night.
Hotel supposed to serve breakfast from 8till 10 as that's what they advertise but was told was not available as no chef was working.


As I said, staff fantastic, but that can't compensate for the lack of maintenance and amenities

Pros:

The people on reception were great we were made to feel very welcome and they was friendly. The hotel was in a great location. We had a room that overlooked the sea. The only issue was that the room looked outdated and felt a bit grotty for the price we paid. The shower worked but it wasn’t very good. The room was adequate and clean but we wouldn’t have wanted to stay there for more than one night. If your not too bothered about the room then I would recommend here

Pros:

Ideal budget room in central Brighton. Decent bathroom. Clean double bed. Good supply of tea & coffee.
Very quiet on a Tuesday night but imagine the club next door could get lively at weekends.

Hotel Amster.. damn! Pity I booked it.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly however the room was a little disappointing a bit tired and rather plain, bed was comfortable however our room suffered from noise from the bar downstairs and from the room above where other guests could clearly be heard pacing around due to poor sound insulation.

Pros:

Slightly worried when we entered the room and saw complimentary ear plugs….. but they were needed!!
Very noisy with street noises (single pane glazing and window lock didn’t work). Room upstairs had very noisy floors and we could hear everything happening up there.
Reception staff seemed very friendly and helpful on check in and as we were coming and going throughout the stay. Just unfortunately the building was so noisy. We didn’t complain as it was issues outside of the staff’s control, but I’m sure they would have tried their best to help.

Pros:

Hotel was nice, staff were very nice and great value for money for a cheap over night in Brighton. Location was great too, with beach across the rd and the pier almost opposite.
My only issue was the shower had very, very weak water pressure dispite being on max and the temperature control was frozen so the water was about room temperature! I only discovered the shower issues in the morning when I got up so not able to complain until I was checking out 30 mins later. Reception were polite and apologised, but if I was staying longer I would have demanded another room.

Pros:

Nice sea views, friendly staff and convenient to all amenities. Comfortable bed , tea and coffee facilities a definitely plus.
On the minus side , no available water bottles from hotel and weren’t aware there was a music bar just below so a bit noisy. They do offer ear plugs and what was worse was the bad singing from the bar lol
