I had a wonderful experience staying here! The room was clean, cozy, and exactly as described – great value for the price. The location was perfect, very convenient and easy to reach. What truly stood out was the host’s kindness and support. They were incredibly helpful, responded quickly, and solved every issue that came up with care and professionalism. I’m very grateful for their flexibility and understanding. Highly recommended – I would definitely stay here again!

Welcoming from the minute the front door opened not only from the owners, but the decor too. Immaculate rooms with fresh crispy bedding, complimentary tea and coffee with a chocolate biscuit and bottle of water. Tastefully decorated throughout Ideal for people who prefer quiet locations. Bus stop yards away taking to hospital or town. I would definitely recommend it and if I return to Brighton, it will be at the top of my list. Thank you Melina & Julie.
WiFi was difficult to sort but not important to me.a

Close to Kemptown and the town centre, a sensitively converted large terrace house, now a comfortable guest house. Attentive, friendly and helpful owners.
Sorry that breakfast wasn't available at the time of my stay as this had excellent reviews from other guests. My very nice single room was up several flights of steep stairs at the top of the house, which wasn't a problem for me, but some might find difficult.

I wanted to stay in a place close to the centre of Brighton, beach area , shops , bars and restauarants . This place did not disappoint . It was also quiet in-doors and out-doors . Check-in and out was smooth going . Julie checked me in , and offered great knowledge and tips on Brighton.

I liked the excellent breakfast, they had great sausages. They always asked if you wanted seconds. The hosts also went out of their way to make sure that I could collect my luggage after my conference had finished.
In September, there was no easy way to totally dry and air the towels after the morning shower, they were still slightly damp the following morning. Because my visit was in September the thermostatically controlled central heating hadn't kicked in yet.

We were made very welcome by Julie and Melina , the room was spotless and very comfortable, shower was lovely . Room had everything you need aswell as a couple of sweet treats. Location is walking distance to everything and we could see the sea from our window! Breakfast was delicious and didn't need lunch as there was plenty of it . I would recommend staying there to anyone

We had such a good time at Julie‘s & Melina‘s place! We couldn’t ask for better hosts. They gave us a lot of recommendations about sights and activities in Brighton and in the surrounding areas. We got fresh made breakfast every day (like a full English breakfast). The rooms were clean and comfortable. The Guest house was really close to the beach/pier. They made us feel welcome and we enjoyed our stay there! Best regards Eike & Carina from Germany ??
It was a little bit noisy when the window was open or the upstairs neighbors were walking through the room
