Rebecca, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice hotel, but very expensive

The hotel is lovely, in a good location and the breakfast is great with lots of choice. However it’s expensive for what you get and little things let it down - the air conditioning didn’t work and we were charged for little bottles of water in the room despite it being a £400 a night room.
Nicola, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay. The room was very comfortable, the hotel was beautiful and we appreciated the small touches such as the coffee pods in our rooms.

Brighton June’25

Very good clean friendly hotel and excellent daily service in the room. Hotel is situated close to anything you need in Brighton from the beach to the lanes and the Brighton Pavilion. Breakfast is very good (apart from the orange juice which was very watery and tasteless. Stayed at this hotel three times previously and would happily stay again.
Martin, 4-night trip

Always a nice stay and perfect location. Big rooms, clean, tidy, maybe just a bit of a makeover for the bathrooms
Marc, 3-night trip

Good: location, staff, breakfast (vegan and gluten-free options), room size and cleanliness Bad: bed very firm (too firm for me) If the bed had been more comfortable for me, I’d happily stay there again
