While the common areas that I saw would be in need of some more love and care, I was satisfied with my room - it very spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable. The room was properly heated through the night. I had all the amenities mentioned at the booking stage. The location was really good for the purposes of my visit.
Indeed the sink and shower fittings are a bit older but they were clean, so I have no issues with that; my only comment is that 1 tap was in need of a firm hand to properly turn off the water.

Very good location.The staff were very helpful and happy to help. Sheets and towels clean. For the price paid good value.
All the carpets were very worn, as were some of the furnishings in the room. When we returned to the room on the first night in the evening nothing had been cleaned. At reception they said the guests have to tell them if they want the room cleaned otherwise its not cleaned. The curtains didn't really block out the light.

I'm a frequent visitor to Hove, and I love these distinguished, old buildings. It's so full of character! No, of course it's not meant to be a new building with the latest amenities. It has an olde worlde charm with massive windows, wood furniture, and red carpets. My room was large but cozy, and it was nicely warm in the winter. The bed was large and quite comfortable (even with my back pain). The staff were WONDERFUL, helpful and so kind. Will definitely stay again! Thank you!
I have no complaints.

The staff were helpful, kind and welcoming. The hotel is in an ideal location, close to the beach with lovely cafes and shops right nearby. The room was quiet, clean and spacious.
The room was sometimes very hot, and the shower had low pressure. We forgot to mention this to the staff until checkout, they said they would have assisted with the water pressure so maybe the issue could have been fixed.

Great location and friendly , helpful staff Room and bathroom warm Bed clean and comfortable Tea/coffee facilities Hairdryer & toiletries Parking available Excellent value for money
We have stayed here a few times - the decor is tired in places and this time our shower was not particularly powerful and couldn't be hung on the wall but the water was hot. I'm sure we could have been moved if we had asked but we were staying for one night and it didnt matter.

Convenient, clean, value for money & friendly staff.
Noisy pigeons on building plot behind. It was a very hot weekend so windows were open. Nothing they could have done about it! A fan in the room would have been welcome! Lifts didn’t work but we were happy to walk.

The location was near bus stops and Hove station and we could easily walk into central Brighton and the beach is the end of the road. Our bed was very comfortable and our room 216 was very clean also quiet as it was around the back of the property. The staff were friendly and helpful, the receptionist carried my bag up two floors to are room.
The curtains in our room were short and a bit on the small size they only just covered the window. There is no lift.

The fact that the hotel has a car park, for about twenty cars, is a definite plus, since almost every area of Brighton now you have to pay for to park. You have to pay here too but less than you would do on the road. Best if you can get a space that isn't under a tree!
Friendly and helpful staff. Nothing I didn't like.

Amazing staff very friendly, soon as I arrived the staff put a smile on my face. We was given an amazing room which was nice large and warm, we had a nice bathroom as well. We found the place very easily, and the staff was so helpful with clear directions to our room. I was so impressed I left a kind thank you bottle of Pepsi for the staff to enjoy. Thank you for another lovely stay.

Friendly welcoming and helpful staff, helped me with some parking queries as we arrived in 2 big vans and struggled initially. However, all got sorted and was allocated our rooms. I booked a single but ended up with a double which was a nice touch. It's clean, comfortable and serves a purpose if your expecting the ritz and a roof top hot tub it's not for you. But for the price it's great and has all you need.
