Pros:

Location was perfect for our requirements. Car park was small with verry narrow access, but we were able to get a space. Staff were friendly and helpful

Great location handy to buses and shops. Breakfast available and staff were excellent. I would go back.
Pros:

It was right on the waterfront with a bus stop at the door. Restaurant and breakfast facilities. Lift was a bonus as we were on the 4th floor. 24hour check in.

Cons:

Not really any problems.

Most enjoyable and I'll be coming back soon.
Pros:

Having stayed there in the past with my husband, I chose it again now I'm widowed. We used to drive down from Cheshire but I travelled down on the train to London and then from London to Brighton. The location is ideal as my daughter lives in Hove.

Cons:

Shower head over bath wouldn't slide into position on bar and stay put. This made washing my hair awkward as I had to keep taking shower head off and using it manually.

Fully-staffed hotel, bright, comfortable and well-equipped.
Pros:

The building looks a bit ordinary from outside but, once in, there is everything you need in the small space, including a bar, terrace, (Thai) restaurant, lift and staffed reception. We were allowed into our room early which was great. The location was ideal for an event we were going to on the front. Quieter than Brighton, the Hove seafront nonetheless has some nice, relaxed cafes and a restaurant or two. While no designer dream, the hotel fittings and decor were good quality and not old. The room was comfy, well-lit and furnished, bed comfortable and the bathroom spacious and well-appointed. There is a small car park round the back. The morning we were there, a race on the seafront road had closed the access to the hotel which would have prevented us from leaving. We were warned in advance through Booking and, when I called to ask about this and left a voice message, a nice lady from reception called me back (the first time that has happened in a while!). There is in fact on-street, app-charged parking all around, where the 2 hour max stated on notices does not appear to apply on the app ("Pay-by-phone"), so we were fine.

Cons:

The continental breakfast was a little basic, especially the coffee and fruit juice, but the cooked (which we did not have) looked good.

The window in our room was tagged so as to open only a few inches. The charging / power socket in the bathroom was really high up and the lead for a toothbrush did not reach a surface where it could stand. Bring your gadgets ready-charged!
