Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel felt more like staying with a posh friend. The rooms were very spacious, comfortable, and clean, offering a beautiful view of the garden. The service was superb, with staff going out of their way to be helpful. The location was quieter, which I found preferable, and the on-street parking outside was a cost-effective option. The dining experience was very good with plenty of choice to cater for all tastes and appetites. Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is located in a lovely area just a minute from the waterfront and a comfortable walk into the heart of Brighton. The rooms were absolutely lovely, and the breakfast and staff were amazing. However, ordering dining in advance was not my favorite part of the experience.
The hotel had large and airy rooms beautifully decorated, with an ensuite bathroom including a bath and shower. Although the dining area was not to our taste and slightly warm, it was functional with a low coffee table and vinyl faux leather chairs. The location was excellent, with convenient on-street parking and a short walk to Brighton pier. A slight downside was the lack of a dedicated dining room or restaurant space within the hotel.
