One word - stunning. The attention to detail is unbelievable.

Bulbs in bedside lights too dim for reading. Lack of plugs for charging phones etc.

Truly exceptional and memorable stay.

9.0

Very centrally located yet it was quiet and tranquil, with beautifully decorated rooms and furnishings. This includes the main areas of the hotel along with the room in which I stayed in for a few days

There are a few steps on the main entrance but this comes with a period property and the upper floors are only accessible via stairs. So if you have a lot of luggage request a room on the ground floor.

Flott beligenhet og hyggelig betjening samt god frokost

10.0

Vi hadde et veldig hyggelig opphold på hotellet, og det svarte fullt ut til forventningene mine. Personalet var vennlig, imøtekommende og ga god service. Rommet var rent, komfortabelt og stille, noe som gjorde oppholdet behagelig. Frokosten var veldig god, med et variert utvalg av ferske og smakfulle retter, slik at det var noe for enhver smak. Alt i alt var dette et flott opphold. Jeg kan anbefale hotellet og kommer gjerne tilbake ved en senere anledning.

Nice room, great location, outstanding staff

Wasn’t able to leave our dog in the room by herself. We were going to a formal event and we had no choice but to take her with us. Luckily it wasn’t too hot. Make sure you know where nearby parking is.

i have stayed in brighton a lot of times, found this place by chance, loved it and would recommend to anyone staying, staff was excellent, thought the room was very decent, and was perfect location as away from the busy side of brighton but just a quick walk and then your among the hustle and bustle of the lanes.

cant really fault this place
