My experience at Artist Residence in March 2013 was simply WOW! Everything was really great: people who welcomed us, the breakfast prepared especially for us, the beautiful room we chose. I love art and, therefore, I love Artist Residence!

Having lived in Brighton a few years ago, I knew I wanted to stay in a hotel that epitomised Brighton in its décor, location and people. This hotel achieved all three with complete ease. I stayed in the Jamie Brown room (no.2) for two nights which has a balcony view of the West Pier - very nice to wake up... More

We stayed in room B2 which I highly recommend for a family with young children. Family rooms are generally pretty depressing (lots of beds in a row - yuk!), however this one is thoughtfully laid out. L shaped room with double bed at one end and children at the narrower end - one bunk bed and one single. We were... More

We went for a mid week break,had a triple room painted by Matt Sewell. Great artwork,very comfortable bed, plenty of space. Clean and tidy through out. Breakfast was nice although small choice for cooked options. Friendly staff. We will stay again and recommend it to friends. Great thai round the corner Siam Siam.

Couldn't rate this high enough. The rooms are fantasticly querky, each being designed by a different artist and for the price would be surprised if there is better value for money in Brighton. We stayed over the Brighton Fringe weekend, and had a great time. Breakfasts are included and wonderfull, especially the pancakes. If you fancy something a little different... More

Such a fantastic concept. The rooms were spotless, comfortable and unique with the walls covered with really interesting artwork as opposed to the usual kitch landscape. The whole hotel feels like you're actually a guest in someone's home and the breakfast was probably the best I've ever had a hotel (and I've stayed in A LOT). They really care about... More
