The bed was comfy, the room was dark and a blackbird very gently woke us up at a reasonable time in the morning. At the end of the road are loads of decent eateries as well as a lovely pub with excellent bar staff. There's on street parking outside, free overnight to 9am, and then £6.50 for 4 hours.

"Fabulous stay. We were so impressed with this hotel. The decor is stunning, Our room was perfect. Breakfast Lunch and drinks were excellent. Staff were extremely professional, but lacking a little in a warm welcome ( except for the long curly haired lady in bar who was particularly lovely) Duty manager went the extra mile to help us which was brilliant. Thermal suite was fab, charged at £30.00 extra but we thought they had a swimming pool but it's a small thermal pool and children cannot use it. Location can't be beaten, It is right across from the beach and a short walk to Brighton Pier, The Lanes, Aquarium, a superb food hall and lots of bars, restaurants and cafes. My only complaint was that I couldn't stay longer!"

"We were stranded because of the airport shutdown and I booked the hotel without my normal thorough review… and I got very lucky. Below is my list of pros and cons… Cons first: -Late checkout is £15 per hour up to two hours. Like I get it but also… yuck. -Entrance is a bit disguised -Location is far away from Brighton Beach shopping and sights (but if you aren’t afraid of public transport, a 30 minute bus ride will get you there easily) Andddd that’s it. Pros: -Front desk personnel: Louis, Conner, and the sweet overnight desk person whose name I forgot to grab (bald, super sweet)… all incredibly helpful, kind, and funny when we were so stressed. -Air Con is great! -Balcony offered a beautiful view of the marina -Bed is comfortable as are the pillows -A new one for me, but because we chose not to have our room cleaned and had a two night stay, we got a free drink coupon. It’s nice to get something back for saving the planet (see also, saving the hotel money and time) -Anything we needed was promptly brought to the room. -The showerrrrr… it’s the first one I have seen that is intelligently designed with knobs near the entrance instead of getting sprayed with cold water while turning it on In all, we will DEFINITELY be coming back and booking here again. It was lovely, and the personnel are second to none."
