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.

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

Incredibly helpful staff on arrival who was also decorating. Room lovely although dusty inside wardrobe. Digital entry system on room door annoying as not always working.

6/10 Good

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

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.

We had the room in the roof that was overlooking the whole city, it was such an amazing and unique view that I still miss now.

Convenient location; large room with sea view

I wouldn't call it a hotel. There's no reception and no breakfast - it's more like Airbnb accommodation. The floors have no sound insulation so you can hear the footsteps upstairs.
