Paid over £400 for one night. Tried to check in just an hour early – receptionist confirmed the room was ready but still wanted a £20 early check-in fee. Later that night, I tried to bring in a friend who had left their bag in my room earlier, but security denied entry and demanded £50 to let him in. The guard was rude and monitored every guest’s movement. VIP Access status wasn’t acknowledged. Not worth the price.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and supportive. We enjoyed using the sauna and the indoor pool. It was cleaned and smelt wonderful. For breakfast, there was a wide range of options to choose from. The location is ideal close to restaurants the Sea life aquarium and Brighton Pier. As a guest it was great that we got a discount for parking.

Great Location

The hotel was in a great location right by the sea, with convenient access to all amenities, tourist spots and restaurants. The lobby was impressive, but the corridor's carpet looked a bit tired. We were slightly worried about the security of the place, as it seemed that anyone could enter the hotel lifts by walking from outside. The cleaning staff were quite loud since before 9 am chatting on the corridors, and you had to let them know not to disturb you until check out. We liked the gym and the hotel pool. We would recommend the hotel.

Disliked: Staff & service
Apart from the actual receptionist staff we had a good stay. The young lady at the reception was very rude! On the three occasions we had to speak to her for some questions we had around the parking and the tickets, she was rude and arrogant. And instead of helping us, she kept repeating how she's already spoken to us before. So definitely will not be coming back, and will not be recommending to others.

Beautiful room with sea view. For an accessible room for elderly or disabled, the bed was too low, chairs needed to be higher with high back, & bathroom door was inconveniently placed. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much.
