Where to start?! From checking in to checking out everything was absolutely fabulous. The staff were incredibly friendly, efficient, helpful & nothing was too much trouble despite us being on the very top floor & in the middle of a heatwave! Our room was totally amazing, quirky, clean & comfortable & the sea view was out of this world. I could not fault this fabulous establishment & am looking for an excuse to return soon. Thanks to everyone for making our stay so very enjoyable. One word of warning - avoid the complimentary biscuits because once you start you won't be able to stop!

6/10 Okay

Overall a good stay. The staff were polite and helpful, the bed was very comfortable, and the sea-view rooms have fantastic direct views of Brighton seafront. Being right on the seafront does mean it can be quite noisy, particularly at night. The hotel itself is starting to feel tired and dated, especially the sofa and seating in our room. We were also disappointed that breakfast in the room has recently been stopped, and the lack of a fridge was noticeable during the summer heat. A pleasant stay overall, but the rooms could do with a refresh.
