Never been in a more filthy room in my life. I have several photos that I will be sharing, still waiting for hotel to contact me back. I tried to contact hotels.com also and got stuck in loop as I left minutes after walking into the room and booked another hotel.

Booked their luxury ground floor room for 2 nights solo. The hotel is in a great area and the staff are friendly but the room was in poor condition, the shower was full of grime and mould with a broken drain cover. The window didn’t shut properly making it hard to sleep at night due to the cold which didn’t help the as the bed was already uncomfortable. The pictures are misleading/outdated, the room is small and needs work. If you are desperate and need somewhere cheap it’s doable but you are better off finding somewhere else as there are other properties at similar rates but clean and comfortable.

Quite a busy loud location. Ground floor room you hear everyone; outside, inside, everyone.
Cracked toilet seat but otherwise room was doable but the disturbance was really bad.
Outdated and could do with a makeover and new lights etc.

Very, very small room described as a standard, en suite room. I'm average height at best and struggled to even use the toilet. Room was covered in cobwebs, curtains only just attached to their rail, window itself cracked and just repaired with sellotape, floor looked like it had never seen a mop or Hoover. As the title says if it's your last resort then book it, if you're coming to Brighton to just get absolutely blind drunk then you might just manage but anyone else I'd say just spend just a little more and get somewhere decent. I visit relatives in Brighton and believe me there are many hotels, reasonably priced around so avoid this Hotel if you can.

It's in a good location, close to shopping area. Bathroom was hidden in what looked like a closet. Better rate the longer you stay.

Do not believe the pictures. This used to be an amazing b&b but it's now just run down, damp rooms. Staff do not work on site, as they're at a different property down the road. The windows don't close, the heating doesn't work. The bedding isn't fit for a hotel. I’m sure the owners once had good intentions, but owning more than one property and the pandemic has made this place basically a hostel. They need a word with The Hotel Inspector!

If it was not for the nice host, most would of been terrible ratings. Our room was in poor condition, not as per advertised. Toilets were very small and I mean small. In fairness another room was offered, but facilities are poor. On the top floor, we had concerns about fire escape safety also. Noise reduction between walls is also limited.

More shabby than chic, I nevertheless soon became quite enamoured of my humble little room on the first floor.
These prices were often a third of the travelodge. Is Schmotel three times worse than travelodge? No it’s a different thing.
I was therefore pleased that there were no ghosts or Frankensteins and no poo on the wall or ceiling, and nobody with loud and evil intent anywhere in the seven blessed rooms.

This property was nothing at all like advertised. It was dirty, tiny and stank of smoke. There was no breakfast option, my room was tiny with very poor and outdated facilities. I would not stay here again, despite the low price and convenient location.
