I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms are beautifully furnished in a classic-meets-contemporary style, and my deluxe sea view room was worth every penny. It was clean, bright, and modern with all the usual extras, and the delightful little balcony allowed me to watch the world go by. The service was fabulous, especially in the conservatory where I received drinks right to my table. The location is great, with a nice sea view room and a beautiful building full of character. The dining experience was excellent with so much choice it was difficult to decide. Overall, a fantastic experience with a few small areas to improve.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room had a lovely sea view and a pretty, spacious balcony but had a lingering smell of old fish. The high price of £412 per night was a downside. The service was mostly wonderful, with attentive staff, but it felt a bit busy with some missed attentions. The location was amazing, making my first visit to Brighton special, although the check-in process was delayed by a long queue. The dining experience was good, with plenty of food options, especially at the buffet. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel offered a quiet stay, though a sea view would have been a nice addition. The proximity to the concert venue featuring Lisa Stansfield was amazing with a sea view and balcony. However, there was no response to a request for tea or coffee despite receiving a lovely headband with a red heart. Overall, it was a pleasant place to stay with minor room service issues.

The hotel is centrally located, perfect for easy access to various amenities, but noise levels can be a drawback. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a massive LED TV, although some noise disturbances were present. The service was attentive and accommodating, but additional fees for services like parking can detract from the overall experience. The location offers convenience and a warm atmosphere, making it ideal for different activities. The dining experience, while varied, had some temperature issues with hot food items. Overall, a good choice with minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was very hot, and despite a lovely sea view with a balcony, the overall standard was a bit below expectations for the price paid. However, the friendly service and convenient location made up for some of the shortcomings.

The room was very hot to the point that I didn't want to stay in there. We found a fan in the cupboard, but we had to clean off all the dust before using it.

However, the service was very friendly and pleasant, especially the bar and concierge teams.

My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The rooms were not only ready for me well before check-in time, which was a huge plus, but they were also beautifully designed with a great bathroom and a balcony offering stunning views of the sea. The service was impeccable, with staff who were not only gracious and friendly but went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The location was perfect, right by the coast and overlooking the sea, making my experience truly enjoyable. The dining experience was exceptional, with an amazing and delicious breakfast selection.

The hotel is in a prime location overlooking the seafront and beach, with easy access to car parks, bars, and town. The rooms were nice overall, but we had 2 single beds instead of a double as advertised, and one room lacked a TV remote, which was a bit inconvenient. The service was fantastic despite the manager not attending appropriately on Christmas eve, resulting in a disappointing dinner. The staff were friendly and helpful, though visibly under pressure at times. The hotel's facilities were great, including room service, dry cleaning, and valet parking.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I stayed in was rather small and had no view; the windows faced a brick wall with a distracting film on them, making the room dark. On the bright side, the hotel staff provided excellent service, being pleasant and efficient throughout my stay. The location was cozy with open fires and nibbles but the constant droning noise from an industrial ventilation unit outside the window was a major drawback. The dining options were plentiful and varied, although the shower experience left something to be desired.
