Great location for the beach, short walk to beach and shops. Room had a nice sea view. Comfy bed but did find hairs in it and bathroom was a bit grubby which wasn’t ideal.

Stayed one night, wouldn't stay again. Floor was uneven, bed was squeaky, the blind didn't reach the bottom of the window and let loads of light in. Shower was tiny and shower curtain was stained. Welcome sheet was filthy along with the bathroom floor. Lack of sound proofing. All metal detailing such as the the bathroom hooks and toilet holder were full of paint, I understand that sometimes people slip when painting but it was literally every detail that had it. Location is very central though, and check in was smooth.

The room has great potential to be very comfortable, with a sea view but was in need of a deep clean.

The room was a bit tired but functional. The location was good and it was really easy to check in/out. It was really useful having the kitchenette. We did ask for additional blankets as there was just a thin duvet, but were told they didn’t have any. They did respond quickly and provided a small portable heater instead. Overall it was a good budget option.

This property is very close to the beach, pier, restaurants, a laundrette, and bus stops. The proprietor was extremely helpful with storing our luggage until check in time and even took our luggage to the room for us once the room was ready. My only complaint is that it does not have A/C. The room did have a fan, though, and we could open the window to let some air in. Overall I was very pleased to find this little gem! It was perfect for my weekend stay.

Brighton stay
Was there on business, took partner, paid for a sea view, but the ground floor flat next to front door didn’t have a sea view unless you put your head against the window on the ground floor next to public walking on the pathway. Was close to the sea and the town centre and pier, with lots to do in the area

Nice place to stay for younger visitors, great position near the beach with good facilities. Not good for anyone with mobility disabilities unless you can book a ground floor room, I'm disabled and had a top floor room so climbing six flights of stairs wasn't easy or welcome. Good value though

Check in was seamless, communication prior to our stay was regular and informative. The property was in a great location just a stones throw from the beach and pier and just 10-15 minutes to the high street for shopping. I would definitely stay here again.

This was a lovely stay and a great location. Sometimes it is hard to get hold of staff on the telephone but if you walk about the hotel, you will find them. I would stay again.

Clean, friendly, and great location
This place was exactly what we needed. It was clean, and had all the amenities we wanted, including being able to cook for ourselves to save money, and the manager was very friendly and helpful. The location was really good too - close enough to the centre to walk to easily, but not so close that it would be noisy. Would stay here again.

We never expected about this room which is very spacious with sea view. This room truly offers a remarkable sense of spaciousness. The breathtaking sea view adds an undeniable touch of luxury. A dining kitchen combination provides both convenience and a wonderful space for entertaining. It's easy to imagine spending countless hours enjoying the ambiance of this lovely room.

This is very good value accommodation. I arrived late but entry codes to front door and room door worked without a glitch. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom spotless with a good shower.
Id be happy to stay there next time.
