Good place to stay
Was in Brighton to see Eric Prydz concert. Needed somewhere straight forward to stay. This hotel is good - Clean, modern and friendly staff. I think the other negative reviews are quite harsh

Brighton weekend 5/6 july
There was no toilet bathroom. Shower was good. Beds were comfortable. There was a TV and coffee maker. Access to room
Was complicated but there was someone on hand to help. It was better than I expected as some of the reviews were terrible.

I have read other reviews about this hotel after I had booked it, and those reviews were disgusting. Whatever people expect for the price of this hotel are beyond my reasoning. It was clean, fresh and every amenity in the room for a pleasent stay, which I most definitely had.

Only good thing was the man on the desk checking us in, otherwise I can’t say I’ll stay here again. There must be nice rooms downstairs but upstairs felt like nobody cares about them as they’re cheaper rooms, don’t think anyone’s given the room a proper clean in a while as there was fresh bedding

Ok for the money
Friendly welcome and very easy to check in and access the property.
our particular room was very run down decor wise even for the cheap price that we paid. If your looking for a bed for the night then great but if it’s nice accommodation that your looking for then this isn’t the one .

The check in process took all week to navigate. Lots of forms and only a whatspp group. The website on line booking form did not work. The hotel is tired, frightening and very very dirty.
Never stay there again

Hotel X is a scam hotel
This is a SCAM hotel. DO NOT BOOK HERE I booked and paid beginning of May. 3 days before reservation in July they wanted more money in fees! 2 hours before we were due to check in they cancelled the reservation. There is no front desk. Everything is communicated only by wattsapp messages. You can’t phone. Hotels.com don’t help either when you reach out to them - which I did about the extra fees. They have all my money. Hotel X replies are all copy and pasted, so they do this constantly.

Scam
I didn’t stay at the end
Couldn’t get in contact with anyone
The hotel is a scam
Charging extra hidden cost of £80 on top of the £50 for the room after you paid the £50

NIGHTMARE
my experience of booking this accommodation was a nightmare from start to eventual refusal to stay. when i got checked in and shown to my room, which was a supposed upgrade from single ensuite to a double ensuite. the ensuite was not actually in the room, you had to use the bathroom outside the room. [ensuite surely means that the bathroom/shower is inside your room]. needless to say that this was not acceptable! the room i was shown was in the basement, down some external stairs which were quite steep and not very friendly. upon getting back to the reception area, they were unable to provide any other suitable accommodation within the property. they advised that a full refund would be forthcoming, so we will wait and see.

Not impressed
Carpet had stains, tv remote had chewing gum stuck to it and was greasy, bed sheets were clean but that was about it. Overall stay was quite uncomfortable to be honest but convieniant to the city centre.

Awful place do not book here
Horrendous! I left and checked out within half an hour! Check in was terrible via whattsapp, key code to private bathroom outside did not work so no acces to water or toilet. No communication available with hotel.. they still have not replied almost 24 hrs later! Will be chasing for a refund ... had to book another hotel for our night away.

My one night stay
I recently stayed at X Hotel in Brighton, and while there were some initial issues with both rooms, the team was incredibly helpful and proactive in resolving them. They upgraded me to a fantastic suite and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable.
The staff’s professionalism and commitment to excellent customer service really stood out, and I truly appreciate their efforts. Thank you for turning things around so quickly—I would happily stay here again!
Let me know if you’d like further changes!

Luckily, I read the reviews after booking. If I'd read them and saw the Hotels.com rating before, I might not have booked. Don't be put off, having faith and following the instructions led me to a lovely room loyally reflecting the thumbnail photo

Quirky and Memorable Stay
Very quirky room and I loved it. My room was at the front so I had a little balcony that I relaxed on looking out over the square and sea. Great mattress and hot shower.
