A great hotel if you want a seafront view
Pros:

Location is probably the strongest point of this hotel — right on the seafront. The staff are very welcoming.

The room I booked was not available for reasons beyond their control, but they offered me an upgrade the next day. This is really how businesses should handle situations like this.

Their cookies made my day:D

Cons:

It was a bit unexpected that a hotel of this level didn’t have a heating system.

Pros:

I liked the exceptional helpful staff and the cookies we got :-) The swimming pool was also a great asset.

Cons:

I dit not like that there was no power outlet in the bathroom, that should be a standard in hotel of this range.

- very good stay with lovely facilities in the heart of Brighton.
Pros:

- The room was lovely.
- Checked in very quickly.
- Staff are generally welcoming.
- The location and facilities of the hotel, including the Gym and the pool, are great.

Cons:

- The light in the room wasn't working.
- No fridge in the room despite booking a very big room.
- Check-in time on the booking is at 1600, and check-out is at 1100, which seems quite unfair.

Cons:

Overall, the stay was disappointing. Several pillowcases had visible brown and grey stains, which raised concerns about the standard of cleanliness. Before arriving, I specifically asked whether the pool needed to be reserved. Although the hotel replied to my message, they did not answer this question. At check-in, I was told that advance booking was required, but the suitable adults-only sessions were already unavailable. I therefore had to attend during a children’s session, and as there is only one relatively small pool for such a large hotel, it was too busy to swim properly. Better cleanliness and clearer communication about leisure reservations are needed.
