Charming Room with a View

clean room friendly receptionist good water pressure

The room was clean, and I appreciated having necessary accessories for daily needs. I enjoyed the friendly receptionist and the efficient check-in and check-out process. I also found the hot water pressure on the top floor to be very good.

Really good stay near the coast

really good greeting fabulous view convenient bus reasonably priced options

The staff provided an really good greeting. Their assistance was invaluable. The room offered a fabulous view overlooking the harbor and sea. I appreciated the very convenient bus service, costing only £2 into the city center. Breakfast was readily available at a cafe just across the road, offering reasonably priced options.

The allocated bathroom was not directly connected to the room, it was separated by a public corridor, i found this slightly inconvenient.

The location provides easy access to nearby areas via convenient bus routes. The ride to the center takes about thirty minutes. Tiffany's cafe is virtually on the doorstep. It is a great option for breakfast. The hotel's position offered proximity to essential amenities.

The hotel provides discounts on food for staying guests. This creates added value. The available menu offered appealing options. The food was beautiful in presentation and taste. Across the road, there's a café for breakfasts and fry-ups.

wonderful stay, becky is a star

warm welcome comfy bed dinner organisation gin selection

becky at reception gave a warm welcome. she changed my room with no prompting. she also organised dinner and served a pint. the bed was comfy and i slept well. i also appreciate the excellent choice of gins they have. i discovered a new drink, 'brighton' shot, also known as tuaca.

I found that the road outside was very busy so it was noisy at night. That's all.

The inn does not offer breakfast on-site. several local cafes are nearby. tiffany's and the longshore are both excellent choices. both offer different options to fuel your day.
