Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Great location. Good value for money, very reasonably priced for such a centrally located hotel. Nicely furnished and laid out communal areas. Good range of breakfast choices of good quality. Upper floors could do with a refresh (decorating) and our room was very warm (did find what looked like a heating / cooling fan in the wardrobe as we left which could have helped!) and slightly dated and tired but all that is forgiven somewhat because of the price paid. Would stay again.

This is very difficult, the building is old and in poor repair in places. But this is not hidden and really is part of the charm of the hotel. One large criticism is the quality of the breakfast. One pot of tea or coffee which you can get just over one cup of it. Eggs limited to fried only, no scrambled or poached option. Service was poor, with the drinks taking 20 minutes to arrive.

Like other reviewers we found this hotel to be a sad and very obviously long overdue for a renewal shadow of what we assume was its former self. Well located but the room view was a disgrace, damp walls, frayed carpets, dim lighting throughout the hotel, No air conditioning (but for a ceiling fan) and generally run down. We tried to be fair in a Trip Advisor review but it is hard to find positives. Cheaper than many other Brighton seaa front hotels, but so it should be.
