“The fusion of Georgian architecture with modern updates creates a distinct atmosphere, though some rooms need a little attention. Its proximity to Brighton's seafront and city center makes it ideal for exploring. It's a convenient base, particularly with the added perk of complimentary in-room wine, but managing expectations regarding service and room consistency is key.”

Really good Stay with Convenient Amenities

easy accesssuper clean roomclean towelsdifficult access

I appreciated the easy access using the front door code and room code. The hallway offered a bright, clean and inviting space. The room and bathroom were super clean. Clean towels, tea, coffee, chocolate, and biscuits were all provided. I also found plenty of hangers and even an iron, very helpful.

I found that checking in and accessing the hotel was challenging. I had to check in and obtain a parking permit at the pub on the corner. The front door entry system was also difficult to use, and I experienced issues with it throughout my stay.

The hotel provided beverage making facilities that included tea, coffee, chocolate and biscuits. These items were readily available in the room and were restocked. I was grateful for this thoughtful service.
