Hotel book in was good as were the staff. Room was ok except very drafty no hot water in the sink and sink plug didn't work. Didn't try the shower or bath as thought they would be the same. Bar area was nice and staff were very good as was breakfast. Not sure would stay again.

Great location, comfy beds, tired decor
We knew the hotel was an older building having stayed before a few years ago but the location right on the seafront is almost unbeatable. Our room was a decent size but looked a bit tatty around the edges, the TV was useless and the cleanliness was ok, but not great. Most importantly the bed was comfortable, the pillows were decent and we slept well. Would we stay here again? For the right price probably yes, as you're only a 5 minute walk from the nicest parts of the city.

Quaint and clean
Very old hotel , so not in pristine condition, but if it were it would lose its character. It’s the oldest hotel in Brighton. Very clean and the staff were lovely, particularly the young lady in the restaurant this morning (15/5). Will definitely be returning

Charming old fashioned hotel
Great old hotel on the seafront. Lovely people at check in, our room was upgraded at no cost to sea view. Room was old fashioned but exactly what you’d expect in an old fashioned hotel. Coffee & tea making things, really comfortable bed! Lovely old lift in the hotel from the 1920’s!! All really charming. Had drinks in the bar, friendly staff, nice bar. Seafront was noisy overnight, Saturday night, but what do you expect in a busy town? Wasn’t a problem. If you want silence don’t book a hotel on a busy seafront!! We had a great stay and couldn’t fault this charming old hotel with all its creaky floorboards, quirks and old fashioned style! Really great position to walk to town & station and great sea view!

The hotel was good but it is in need of a refurb. The only slight problem was that the radiators in the rooms took a long time to heat up.

Hotel is good, breakfast was poor. Vegetarian sausages sent back twice as they were still frozen ! They did not charge us for the breakfast as we were unhappy, so that was good

Great place
Lovely hotel, parking is good if you can get in the hotel car park but extortionate if not at the nearest car parks this is the only thing that puts me off booking again, hotel itself lovely old building, room comfortable and very clean, staff all lovely, friendly & helpful. I was there for work so wasn’t sight seeing but it is opposite the sea front and close to shops restaurants etc. Breakfast is buffet style but do specific requests if you ask breakfast was nice.

Just a bit tired
Hotel was warm and welcoming and busy. It’s just very tired and could do with some TLC burnt curtain linings showing through windows from the bar isn’t a good advertisement and it wouldn’t hurt to jet wash the signage outside once a week, it’s an old Beutiful building and understand it takes some maintenance but it’s just feels a bit neglected
