Pros:

The hotel was in a perfect location for beach & the i360 tower. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and it was surprisingly quiet after midnight. Not a bad price to stay in.

Cons:

A very old building & in need of updating, it was good for just a few days at most. With no lift, the endless stairs to the top floor were tiring. The fire alarm going off twice at night wasn't good. Wouldn't stay again.

Pros:

The location, the manager upgraded my room. Charming building.

Cons:

The plumbing is really old, it had a bad smell at times. My shower flooded once.
I had to leave a night earlier because I couldn't sleep for 5 nights in a row due to other guests screaming like monkeys at 3am

Per qualche giorno ok
Pros:

La posizione è ottima, il check in è stato molto veloce, non mi hanno chiesto i documenti. È il check out idem è bastato lasciare la chiave in camera.

Cons:

Lo scarico della doccia non funzionava per cui lavarsi era complicato bisognava costantemente spegnere l’acqua per farla scendere. I pavimenti della camera sono storti e gli asciugamani non erano troppo puliti, inoltre il cambio asciugamano non c’è mai stato.

Comfy bed exceptional views
Pros:

The location is exceptional and the sea view was beautiful. I had originally booked 4 nights and then extended another 4 as I loved it. The bed and bedding was really comfortable, crisp and clean. The staff I spoke with on the phone and housekeepers I met were really polite and helpful, even when I had to call about the door as i left my brain behind. I will be coming back on another visit.

Cons:

There is no reception which I was worried about, but the family actually live there, I felt really safe.

Don’t stay at this hole
Pros:

I booked a room with 4 poster bed which was advertised on the site. This was not the room I received.

Cons:

The fact that I was not give the room that I booked. I was given something that was very tired and could do with substantial renovation.

Besser nicht !!!!
Pros:

Die Lage ist super
Das Bett war auch bequem . Aber das war es dann leider auch .

Cons:

Der Preis spiegelt leider den Zustand der Unterkunft wider. Es gibt keinen Aufzug und insgesamt wirkt vieles stark in die Jahre gekommen oder reparaturbedürftig.
Bei meiner Ankunft funktionierte die Toilettenspülung nicht, sodass ich diese zunächst selbst instand setzen musste. Das größte Problem war jedoch der stark verstopfte Duschabfluss. Bereits nach kurzer Zeit staute sich das Wasser so sehr, dass Duschen nur noch abschnittsweise möglich war – immer wieder musste ich warten, bis das Wasser abgelaufen war. Das war auf Dauer sehr unangenehm und vor allem sehr kalt in der zugigen Dusche .
Da im Bad offenbar bereits neuer Boden verlegt wurde, liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass dieses Problem nicht erst seit Kurzem besteht. Hier hätte im Rahmen der Reinigung oder Wartung dringend gehandelt werden müssen.
Auch sonst machten viele Details einen alten und teilweise ungepflegten Eindruck (Silikonfugen, WC-Spülgriff, Wasserkocher, bereitgestelltes Duschgel).
Für ein bis zwei Nächte mit geringen Ansprüchen mag es ausreichen. Positiv ist die Aussicht auf das Brighton i360. Wer jedoch Wert auf Komfort und einen guten Zustand legt, wird hier vermutlich enttäuscht sein.

Great location
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. Manager was nice and upgraded us for free and easy to contact.

Cons:

The hot water didn't work when we got in at 4am, in the morning we let it run for a long time to get it going.
