Reviews
Lovely hotel
We had a queen size room which was cozy but big enough
Decorated lovely
Didn’t seem to hear much noise during the night
Downsides
-No mini fridge in room
-Only one towel hook in bathroom for wet towels
-Only seemed to be shared changing areas for swimming pool -one for males one for females- I feel a couple of private changing rooms could be added for privacy
The spa area was a bit disappointing, it’s more a leisure centre and very busy when we visited so don’t expect too much relaxation as there are not even loungers to sit/lie on.
We didn’t eat breakfast in the hotel as there are many great restaurants in Brighton so I cannot comment on the brekkie.
We attended the NYE dinner/dance at the hotel and it was brilliant! Great entertainment, lovely food - a fabulous time had by all and a lovely way to see in 2026!
Brighton in general is a lovely place to visit, lots of bars, restaurants and shops - especially the Lanes which is full of small independents which are just fab!
There’s lots to do and see! We took a short walk from the hotel to the i360 tower. A great way to see Brighton from the sky and we managed to catch it at sunset - so magical! I would definitely recommend!

Cafe and Restaurants near hotel
Highly recommend and will definitely be going back.
I have tasted much better in other Chinese Restaurants. The owner, I think she was, was very rude to a couple on the next table to us. I think charging service charge is unacceptable, I pay for good service myself without it being taken and it was more than the 10% i would have left!
The fish was tender, melted in your mouth and the squid starter blew us away.
Also tried some delicious Choya wine- 100% worth the price tag.
Staff were delightful, atmosphere on point, everything about it was just right. Don't miss if you're on Preston Street.
