"Fantastic stay – great service, location, and value!
We stayed over a weekend and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Check-in: we arrived early at 1pm (official check-in is 3pm) and was pleasantly surprised that our rooms was already ready. The front desk team were warm and welcoming.
Service: The staff went above and beyond – they even sent a follow-up SMS to check if our rooms were comfortable and if we needed any assistance. A personal touch that made a real difference.
Location: Perfect – just a few steps from Brighton beach. Very convenient for exploring the seafront and town.
Room: Clean, comfortable, and with strong, reliable air-conditioning. We didn't have a sea view (opted for a standard room), but it was perfectly fine since we were out most of the day.
Wi-Fi: Fast and consistent – no issues at all.
Parking: On-site parking available, and the rate was very reasonable compared to other hotels in the area.
Breakfast: The buffet spread was superb. A special mention for the dedicated vegan and vegetarian station – great to see such thoughtful options.
Overall: Highly recommended for families, couples, solo travellers, or anyone wanting a stress-free stay in Brighton. I'd definitely stay again."
