Excellent stay
Went with a friend for overnight stay in Brighton. The parking was easy (under the hotel); the staff were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated at the edge of the Lanes, lots of good restaurants nearby, it is on the sea front so lovely walks along the Promenade. The pier is just over the road. The swimming pool is small. Breakfast is really good - complete with someone cooking fresh pancakes and omelettes.

Great but…..
In general it was very good and the staff were lovely. I’d have given it top ratings however two of the three beers at the bar were unavailable and the shower is not suitable for anyone over 6ft.

Stayed here a few times hotel is lovely. However considering it was the Brighton marathon price had doubled. Very poor when this is for charity.

Good beachfront location but not the best stay.
Just one night. Beds were comfortable. No armchairs. TV very hard to get to channels from Guide which in itself took an age to achieve. Very convenient location. Overall not a bad choice of hotel but there was nothing that would drive us to stay there again.

We stayed in a family room with 2 king size beds. The room and bathroom was very clean and well equipped. The breakfast was excellent value for money with plenty of choice for us and the children. Excellent location close to all of the main attractions. Only negatives were our room was on the back of the hotel above the exit to the lanes and there was a lot of noise/coughing at night we suspect from rough sleepers. We would request a sea view room next time. Also the beds and pillows were a little hard for us but that’s just down to personal choice. Other than that we had a lovely stay.

The breakfast deal we had offered was £15 per day per person and kids (ours is 5) eat free. So we went to for. But this was subject to change, odvs this changed and the 5yr old was also full adult price. Price at the bar was ridiculous. The staff all friendly especially at the indoor heated pool which was the place we felt most welcomed. The family room was ok.
