Just no

Very close to the beach. That’s about it. Wasn’t at all noisy like others have reported, however…I’ll not be back. I reported the toilet as blocked when I arrived. They said they’d sorted it. Clearly not. It flooded the bathroom with water, paper and poo. Not a good look Hotels.com

To be totally honest for how much we paid over £100 a night I was very shocked at this hotel and was expecting much more for the money. I will start with the good and say staff at reception are exceptional and very friendly and helpful and staff went above and beyond. But that is were the positive ends I'm afraid. The toilet stank and would not flush properly, cracks in the mirror and broken toilet roll holder, not what you expect when paying over £100 a night. Hotel supposed to serve breakfast from 8till 10 as that's what they advertise but was told was not available as no chef was working. As I said, staff fantastic, but that can't compensate for the lack of maintenance and amenities

The people on reception were great we were made to feel very welcome and they was friendly. The hotel was in a great location. We had a room that overlooked the sea. The only issue was that the room looked outdated and felt a bit grotty for the price we paid. The shower worked but it wasn’t very good. The room was adequate and clean but we wouldn’t have wanted to stay there for more than one night. If your not too bothered about the room then I would recommend here

Ideal budget room in central Brighton. Decent bathroom. Clean double bed. Good supply of tea & coffee. Very quiet on a Tuesday night but imagine the club next door could get lively at weekends.

Hotel Amster.. damn! Pity I booked it.

Staff were very friendly however the room was a little disappointing a bit tired and rather plain, bed was comfortable however our room suffered from noise from the bar downstairs and from the room above where other guests could clearly be heard pacing around due to poor sound insulation.

Slightly worried when we entered the room and saw complimentary ear plugs….. but they were needed!! Very noisy with street noises (single pane glazing and window lock didn’t work). Room upstairs had very noisy floors and we could hear everything happening up there. Reception staff seemed very friendly and helpful on check in and as we were coming and going throughout the stay. Just unfortunately the building was so noisy. We didn’t complain as it was issues outside of the staff’s control, but I’m sure they would have tried their best to help.
