Location is great. A short walk to main areas in Brighton.
What a real shame. This could be a really nice hotel-but it isn't! Owners either don't have the money or dont want to spend money on the hotel. From the outside the hotel looks like a hostel. The decoration inside the room is poor. The room was quite dusty and the floor wasn't particularly clean. The bathroom was a mess, the toilet roll holder was missing, yhe wc seat didn't fit the pan, the shower curtain was rotten and the tiles in the shower (which we didn't use) had mould. The bed sheet had a bad stain, the picture frame was broken, the roller blinds were frayed and stained. The sash windows were in really bad condition and the sash cords had been cut so the window couldn't be opened. I could go on, but neadless to say I won't be staying here again its terrible!!

The location was great. Smart TV was appreciated. Much needed storage under the bed.
The room was very very small - I hadn’t perceived the size well from the pictures. No lifts and a tight staircase to take suitcases up/down. The entrance floor is deceptively modern for the rooms. At the risk of TMI - sat on the toilet knees touch the sink, couldn’t stand straight in the shower with tilted roof and couldn’t put hands above head to wash hair or turn around without hitting the taps!

Leaving.
The staff, the room, all of it. Staff was rude, place was poorly kept and we were only there for one night. It got the job done for a quick stay but we couldn’t wait to leave. The guy at the desk took my card details and cvc number as well…. I don’t know how much of the card he needed but I didn’t want to argue as our car was locked up and we couldn’t leave Brighton until the morning. He Snatched the card out of my hand when I was going to write it down. I tried to avoid putting my details because I didn’t trust the place. Rude man, awful rooms. They don’t care otherwise they would fix all the stuff everyone say about the place. It gets the job done for a quick one night stay but it felt gross and we wanted to leave quickly. I would only come here if corse brining a lady of the night, but I wasn’t…. Don’t come here for that either, go to the beach, it’s better and more comfortable and maybe more clean

The location on Brighton seafront and close to where we were going.
Nobody was there when we arrived to a locked front door with a selection of three different phone numbers. So we rang the first number and a man answered and told us he'd be there to let us in shortly (he was in the building thankfully) We had to ask where we could park, thinking it was free parking, to be told we could park at the front for an additional £20. When we said we believed it to be free parking when we booked through booking.com, he said he'd let us park for £10. and would upgrade our room to a larger room. Once in our room we discovered that there was no hot water, the sink tap didn't run at all, and the shower was literally just a cold dribble. I reported this to reception, the same chap who let us in said we could move back to our original room, which he showed me. As this room was tiny with a ¾ size bed I declined. He then asked if he could come and check the water. Having checked he said he would change the pressure for us, which he did. While the pressure was better it was still not good. Please see attached photographs for cleanliness, over all it was poor. The floor in our room, the corridor, stairs and downstairs hallway all had a Slippery greasy feel. There was dust and rubbish under our bed, mold in the shower base and on the grout and our bed sheet had a rip in it. I was asked to supply photo id when we checked in so I put my driving licence on the desk for him to see. He then asked me to fill in some paperwork, while I was filling in the paperwork, without me noticing he took and retained my licence. While we were driving home the following day the chap who'd let us in phoned me and said my driving licence had been found in our room. When I said I hadn't taken it back after showing it as id, he said the cleanres had found it in our room. I find this rather worrying and suspicious. I asked if he would post it to me and explained that my address was on it.
