A lovely historic building right on Brighton seafront. We had a great stay and the staff were excellent throughout. While the hotel could benefit from a bit of TLC, this is to be expected with a building of this age. The bar area is a real highlight, with great food and drink options and the added bonus of a pool table. The hotel has a welcoming atmosphere and is in a fantastic location. The rooms are comfortable and with a little extra attention they could be brought up to an excellent standard. That said, the value for money is outstanding and you’d be hard-pressed to find better in this area. Overall, a very good stay and we’d happily return.

Hotel is extremely dated and rundown. Attended this hotel for a work xmas party in a large group with other companies also on other tables. Food was very average but was good value with the drinks. Room was not very clean. Bed and towels seemed ok but carpet was dirty and there was empty shampoo bottles in the bath left over from previous guest and sink was dirty. Also no soap in the room. Breakfast the next morning was set up in the same room as Xmas party the night before. There was still red wine and dirt and sticky alcohol residue all over the surfaces. The carpet was filthy with squashed food all left from night before where it had not been cleaned. The staff were helpful and friendly but overall the cleanliness of the hotel and the rooms is a massive issue. Would not recommend.

Staff all fine. Friendly , Vegan option of food at bar poor. Staff did apologise for lack of proper ingredient ( more suitable vegan cheese) when ordered, and offered a complimentary drink, which was not necessary but appreciated as unfortunately the pizza was not good. Appreciated not able to offer many vegan alternatives but if horrible just please don’t bother offering.
