Cecil House Hotel

Atanas Ilinov
2 Star
You get what you pay for I guess. Let me start with the positives. The staff at reception get an A* for being friendly, welcoming and helpful with anything we needed. We got a powerful fan in the room and that was fantastic in this boiling weather. The location was fantastic, right in front of the i360 (great attraction by the way), close to the shopping centre and a nice 20 min walk from Brighton Pier. And now the things that weren’t so great. It looks like they started renovating the building, but half-way through ran out of money. It looks nice on the outside, but inside the corridors and stairs look ancient. We were on the 4th floor and there was no elevator and it wasn’t nice being out of breath every time we got to our room. Inside the room, the walls were painted a nice colour, there was a nice desk, the bathroom looked new (like new new), but then the carpet was old and stained with God knows what, the shower had only two settings - boiling or very very warm (which was not very nice in this weather, literally sweating while trying to get rid off all the sweat build up in your body). No bin in the bathroom. No cabinet or shelf to put your toiletries on. No wardrobe, cupboard or bed side cabinets for your clothes/things in the room, just a rail with 3-4 hangers. We had heavy, thick duvets in 20-25 degree nighttime weather. And you can’t sleep without anything, because then you wake up with no lower back. Beds were uncomfortable as well. I wouldn’t personally recommend it. Just shell out a bit more and go somewhere better.

I had a busy weekend in Brighton, managed to find this reasonably priced gem at short notice for somewhere to crash. Right on the seafront. You can park 50 metres away at a secure parking place for the best price in Brighton. 24 hour check in, smallish room, tea coffee etc.

basic is a generous description for Cecil Hotel. We pay £123 per night and there is no towel and toothbrush. No fridge. No elevator. Imagine you walk up 4 floor and see the room looks absolutely nothing like the photos. How disappointing is that. definitely the worst place I've ever stayed. I doubt the validity of those 5 star comments. People please don't come to this place even you're on budget. It'll ruin your holiday
