Great hotel. Wonderful staff...very good food and helpful chatty bar lady. Only issue was the lack of a car park that was advertised with the hotel. Great fitness room! Very much enjoyed our stay. Thankyou.

Positives - on the beach front with lovely views, just a short walk to all the tourist attractions. Very nice English breakfast. Staff were polite and efficient. Lobby areas neat and tidy. Good lunch food. Negatives. Upstairs hallways and bedrooms are in very poor condition. Peeling wallpaper, dirty sofas, threadbare carpets, scratched paintwork and faded curtains. Private Parking advertised but still costs £25 a night. Limited amenities.

Lovely hotel with an amazing history. It is a little tired although it is currently being renovated. Had a wonderful seaview. The shower was rather hit and miss with the temperature, hopefully the renovation will fix that.

Extractor fan needed in bathroom  in room 227. Very creaking floorboards. Windows hard to open. No biscuits

Lovely hotel with a rich sense of history. It has so much potential—with a renovation, it would be the best spot in Brighton. Great location, though the breakfast was just okay.

Best is location and staff. Both are top notch. Breakfast above average too. Rooms are spacious and well appointed, but the whole building needs constant tlc as it is battered by strong winds and rain some spells during the year, but understandable if anyone knows Brighton's weather.
