I stayed for one night in a single room in this hotel. The communal area where drinks and snacks are available is a bright and airy place. I didn't purchase any drinks/snacks so can't comment on the cost of these. The big disappointment was the bedroom itself. It was dull, and a bit grubby in so far as it was... More

Wow what a room, booked a suite at an incredible price for two nights, was over joyed with the whole stay, the room was out of this world, loved the furry blanket curtains, the tele right on the end of the bed, the brilliant bathroom with walk in shower room, limited tea and coffee but reception were happy to top...

we stayed here for a night, it was amusing, but wouldn't repeat the experience. the decor looks as if someone has spent lots of money at woolworths, and thrown it all in. quite rowdy, not helped by the 24 hour bar. the bar isn't advertised on the website, had it been I think it would have given an indication of...

I stated here, needing somewhere cheap to stay before the Brighton Marathon the next day. I paid £40 for a Saturday night. Having only paid that amount I can't complain about the experience of staying here. For the price I paid the service and facilities were fine. The decor is a little tired but the place was comfortable. If you... More

Stayed here for two nights. Staff where very friendly and polite. Had a twin room which was modern with quite striking decor. Room at the perfect temperature with a fantastic view. Very clean and up to date with proper toilet roll included. If your looking for a low budget but decent hotel this is the one.

Stayed here on a break from London. Was looking for something cheap and cheerful find that's what we got. The location is excellent, right on the seafront, the staff were pleasant and helpful. However the hotel is actually more like a hostel. Very basic rooms with basic toiletries and a tiny bathroom. You pay extra for everything; wifi, cooked breakfast,... More
