Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were so welcoming and the room to a very high standard. The breakfast was excellent. Only minor issue was the very small shower/toilet cubicle. After showering the entire room was wet and there was not a lot of privacy fir toilet use (close proximity to the bed and could see through the glass doors).

The property was lovely. Staff were very helpful & supportive. Breakfast was very good. Our room was comfortable . We had a great view. There is no passenger lift but there is a luggage lift which helped moving luggage to & from our room.

Nice location, great staff but system issues
Great location and staff were really friendly and accommodating. However, the room we booked wasn’t the one we were allocated when we checked in. The room we had was very different and whilst I appreciate this seemed to be an issue with the hotels.com booking system, it was really disappointing. The breakfast menu has no vegan option which in 2023 (and especially in Brighton!) seems so odd. Room was clean apart from our bath which had what we thought was shards of glass all over one side of the base but it turned out to be pieces of clear plastic. Either way, it was obvious that a previous guest must have broken something and it was quite offputting to know it must have been missed during cleaning. All in all, we would stay again because the staff were lovely (and very apologetic about the room situation) but we were overall quite disappointed with the stay for the reasons I’ve said above.
