The hotel is perfectly situated near the seaside in central Brighton, making it easy to access everything you might want in town. The rooms are beautifully adorned with chandeliers and offer a lovely sea view with thoughtful additions like a sofa bed and a fan. The service, though generally good, could benefit from more attention to customer feedback. Dining, including toast and coffee, provides a satisfactory experience. The facilities are decent, but some improvements could enhance the overall stay.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The location was excellent, just a stone's throw away from the seaside and the bustling South Laines. The rooms, though a bit snug with minimal furniture, impressed me with their surprisingly chic decor. The service was top-notch, with a friendly staff member going the extra mile during check-in. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering a simple but fulfilling breakfast. However, the lack of expansive facilities was a drawback, yet the overall value for money was decent.

The hotel is perfectly located just off the seafront, providing easy access to the vibrant South Laines and a quiet area near the seaside in central Brighton. The rooms offer unique layouts with the bed positioned facing out of the window, though the bathtub in the bedroom might not suit everyone's taste. The service was prompt, and the staff member at the reception desk was accommodating. The dining options include toast and coffee but lacked variety. The facilities are satisfactory, offering a decent experience overall.

The hotel is in a prime location just off the seafront, close to the South Laines. The rooms are surprisingly well-decorated, featuring a comfortable King-size bed, a sofa bed, and a thoughtful addition of a fan. However, the dining experience with cold coffee could be improved. The facilities are impressive, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.
