Paid extra for a 'superior' room. We had a seaview, but the window was very tiny and I noticed that many seaview rooms had larger windows, some with lovely bay windows. The room was clean, and the chambermaid changed our towels and made our bed, but very, very shabby and rather too cool for my taste. Horrid smell of cigarette smoke clung to the room and as ex-smokers we found this particularly unpleasant. However, the hotel is in an excellent position, the reception, bar and lounge were lovely. The breakfast room could have done with a little more tlc e.g. tablecloths. Breakfast was adequate, (would have liked some vegetarian sausage and/or mushrooms) although on our second morning, which was a Saturday, we had to queue for a table, which made us late checking out. We found all the staff to be extremely pleasant and helpful. Think we'll try a different Brighton hotel next time.

It was only a night say in general the hotel is ok the twinroom was clean, bathroom with shower classic black mould on shower silicon, the breakfast was really good only downside was the size of the restaurant it was to small massive queue from around 9.20 till 10am people had to eat in the lounge.in summary the hotel is average

Stayed for my husbands birthday, great location but that was the only good thing. Fire alams went off on Saturday evening, all I can say was thank god there wasn't a real fire, evacuation procedure was unbeleveable, staff not communicating with any of guest In fact girl on reception was still checking guest in while alarm still sounding, everyone just didn't have any idea what was going on. I had to question and I informed other guest what was happening. I think I could go on for ever with the faults in the hotel. I will just put our stay as an experience.

i read lots of reviews but thought that people were generally going over the top with their negative comments.....they weren't! our rooms weren't ready when we arrived & we had to wait for ages for the porter to put our bags in the luggage room. we ate fish & chips/ steak & chips for £4.50 in the bar (i had the fish & it was gorgeous). we had 2 rooms between the 5 of us, one room was fine but the other was terrible (room 350), the window was frosted & dirty & had a big gap in the frame, carpet was badly stained, the back of the door to the room was stained, armchair was broken & stained, the bathroom had mouldy patches, although there was a window, all you could see was a brick wall. my friend took photos of how bad the room was, showed reception & we got allocated a much better room (room 332).
the rooms were plenty warm enough but the main lounge area was very, very cold...we asked a member of staff to turn heating up but was told it was at it's highest!!
breakfast wasn't very appealing & there wasn't much available considering the amount of guests that had to be fed, the food was barely warm & the staff are constantly clearing the table while you're eating, sometimes reaching over you (very, very rude). having to depart the room for 10.00a.m was not great! the beds were very comfortable but people were talking loudly in the corridor & slamming bedroom doors at 04.30, there's a lot of noise from the street also, basically, i didn't get any sleep. this hotel needs an awful lot of repairs & redecoration done.... would i stay here again? NO
