    The room was small and very hot and the fan didn't help at all. No food available on site.

    Friendly helpful barman. Location is a not far from Brighton and the sea front by car, but definitely not in it.

    Sadly food advertised, no food. Location okay, but not a lot around to eat, but not their fault. Felt more a £50 - £55 per night. However overall definitely go back.

    Cleanliness could be improved slightly, no light switches or lamps near to bed which could be dangerous, location is ok, however a return bus ticket to Brighton is £5.60 or a taxi costs around £12.00 so factor this in when looking at costs. No wardrobe

    Excellent shower, fridge in room, free bottled water due to heat, separate entrance to hotel, roof terrace.

    Good location for the purpose of our stay but unlikely to use again

    Only one of the windows opened and while there was a ceiling fan we prefer fresh air! The bathroom was nicely decorated however there was an empty shower gel tube on top of the shower and the shower head needed a good clean, also the towels had a very unpleasant aroma. There was also an empty water bottle behind the bedside drawers. Considering you can't check in until 3pm we expected the room to have been cleaned/cleared. While the location for our purpose of stay was good we felt the room was very overpriced for a basic double room 3 miles outside of the centre of Brighton especially as there was no option for breakfast. There is also no onsite parking which was not made clear on the hotel description (I believe this may have now been changed).

    The location was good as we needed to be close to Stanmer Park and it was easy to get a bus into Brighton from across the road

    - There seems to be a tenant living there who stores extremely loudly that requires noise cancellation equipment. On both occasions throughout the year, we heard this person and they were in the same room. Either a coincidence or they live there?

    Constant smell of cannabis in the room but was probably something else. The carpet and windows could have been cleaned better No light switch near the bed or a small lamp Only after booking we received an email advising the pub and restaurant wouldn’t be open as advertised as they are running on a ‘winter schedule’. One of the main reasons booking here was easy access to food and drink.
