It was lovely. Old, but clean, very warm. Big room, very comfy large bed. Staff very friendly and helpful Only complaint bathroom door didn't shut . But was not a huge worry So convenient for The Lanes, car parking, the pier. Opposite the sea. Dinner was lovely and breakfast good menu and fresh. Would definitely go again . I think dog friendly not sure.... There is a lift. Well recommend.

Lovely old hotel with plenty of original features including the lovely slow lift. It's a bit tired but without being tatty. The welcome was warm and friendly, the room was a good size with a comfy bed and super clean. Breakfast was lovely with a great choice. Parking is available on site or you can park in the lanes car park next door. Fantastic location.

Absolutely marvelous! Every single member of staff were very nice, efficient, courteous and helpful. The two rooms we occupied on this occasion were very nice, reasonably spacious and comfortable. The bonus of some rooms being dog friendly was superb, our puppy had a lovely break away from our very busy household and had lots of new experiences and lovely walks along the seafront. We have already booked our next visit and we CAN NOT offer a greater review than to book a return visit prior to booking out from this one. Thanks to all the staff, both customer facing and those more in the background/support roles. You made our stay far more than satisfactory!

Walked in from the street for a drink. Both staff at bar failed to acknowledge our presence and continued to amble about. Took forever to be served regardless of being the only people at the bar. Maybe next time it would be positive to acknowledge the guests and let them know you won’t be long, rather than ignore them and keep them waiting aimlessly. Poor service.

Had a wonderful stay here for Pride Weekend, sea view room. A very comfortable bed to sleep in. I would definitely go again. Lovely friendly staff. Had a really great weekend with some fantastic friends. My first time in Brighton was the best. Look forward to next year.
