The Willows

An uncomfortable stay for me. Although the location is great and close to the pier, the quality of the hotel is questionable. The service upon entry was fine and very fast. The rooms are well-sized but unclean and dusty. The chest of drawers in my room were full of old food and cigarettes, and the sheets provided had moths. The bathroom is clean and okay. The walls are thin so I could hear people’s every word from outside the room at night. Overall, as a young woman travelling, I felt unsafe and unfortunately will have to find elsewhere next time.

Lembi if he just knew what was Brighton like he would have went to Alex better

This is my favorite place to stay in Brighton! It’s quiet and laid back, the location is amazing and it’s cheaper to stay here than anywhere else. Definitely recommend.

The room was clean and the bed was comfy.sea view

Bad points: Arrived at the hotel to find that my booking was not on the list despite booking back in January. The staff member then asked us to wait outside as there was no indoor seating area meaning we had to wait with our luggage. After approx 15 minutes the staff member advised us he ‘found a room’ for us and gave us the key. The hotel is small and very compact, spread over 3 floors. The room I specifically stayed in felt very small and there was not much standing height. The bathroom was tiny and there was a small sink in the corner that was too small to do anything with. The room appears to need a revamp as there is dried marks on the wall that looks like old condensation. The room I stayed in looked nothing like the pictures. There was also a brown smear near the bed frame that I washed off myself, I refrained from flagging this to the staff as I knew there would be no other room to transfer to as the hotel was at capacity. The bed was very firm and uncomfortable and the room was overal very stuffy Good points: very close to city centre and beach front

Avoid. We booked last minute and paid over £100 for a room that was damp and dirty. We didn’t sleep because the bed and pillows were really, really hard, it was like sleeping on a plank of wood. There was a discarded mattress down the road that looked more comfortable. The bathroom was dirty and the toilet seat broken. The tiny room was also dirty. It rained in the night and you could hear loud drips of water coming into the room through the window, in the morning everything nearest the window was soaked. It was so loud, there may as well have been no window, the walls were really thin, the doors slammed closed whenever anyone came in or out of their room and you could hear every creak in the building. We wish we had read the reviews as it was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. Avoid.

No ventilation, poor quality seal on window. Mouldy sewage smell, no privacy filter or blind on roof light which can see into other rooms.

Very basic hotel with no Luxury’s no storage at all to be honest shower was pretty bad but not even that cheap for what you got . Would pay extra for better place, but you live and learn I guess . The owner was friendly which was nice so that was nice
