Great stay
Really lovely hotel, only stayed one night but the room was very clean and up to date. Bed was very comfortable and there was no noise from outside. Very well placed for the car park and an easy walk to The Laines etc. Staff welcoming and helpful, especially with the car park.

Great hotel, location has its ups and downs.
Lovely hotel with great facilities. Good location, however as its so central there was a bit of late night noise from surrounding areas.

Perfect location!
Really nice, modern hotel right next to everything. Go out the front door and you are at the beach and next to Brighton Pier - go out the back door and you are in "The Lanes" where there are a lot of specialty shops and restaurants. Convenient parking below the hotel.
Highly recommend for a stay in Brighton.

Nice hotel great location
Nice hotel in a great position on the waterfront. Quiet at night. Gym and pool is open to locals so is really overcrowded at the weekend. I also need to mention a staff member call Jasmin who was maybe a cleaner, long pink hair. She is an absolute superstar and was so friendly and helpful every time we saw her. Hope management appreciate her efforts
