The stay was absolutely fine and comfortable, where the slightly lower scores are as a result of some areas of the hotel look a little tired and worn out; however this was and has been reflected in the budget price. You get what you pay for and the room was clean enough. Some molud on the ceiling but nothing too much to worry about.

Nice, helpful staff, and lovely Christmas decorations around the reception area. As noted by previous reviews, it could do with a refurb but it’s not ancient. Room had had a half effort clean, with a spoon on the floor and all sorts of stuff under the bed. Shower one day took 5 mins to warm up, and the other day did not warm up at all. I was in a rush to leave so could not inform staff. If you’re looking for a bed for a night then it’s alright, anything more than that then you may be disappointed.

Hotel is looking very tired, with tatty furniture in the lounge area and empty glasses left all over the hotel: the management seem more interested in people coming in and having a few pints and playing pool rather than the people actually staying there, it used to be one of my favourite places to stay in Brighton but it needs a refurb urgently and aim at providing something more refined.

Really good breakfast selection. Nice room in this spacious hotel. Any chance the bar could stay open a bit longer in the evening- it’s good to get back from a gig in town and be able to get a late drink Thanks

This hotel has the perfect location, we have stayed twice and would recommend The rooms are older and could maybe do with a freshen up but does not hinder your stay at all The only downside I had was there were no plug sockets next to bed for a phone but in the grand scale easy to live with it

What attracted me to this hotel was its location and the fact that it has been a hotel for hundreds of years. It didn’t disappoint. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our rooms were small, but comfortable and clean. It was close to the Royal Pavilion, which was reason for the visit, but we also enjoyed walking through the Lanes nearby. And being across the street from the ocean front was great.
