I couldn't have asked for a more convenient hotel location—it's super close to the coach station, right on the Brighton seafront, and a stone's throw away from the beach. The overall experience was pleasant, with minor hiccups in the room setup and dining options. Despite these, the service was top-notch and the value for money was decent.

Incredible location just steps from the sea and near great dining options. The rooms come with an extra folding bed and have lovely ensuite showers and a patio, but the Wi-Fi is paid separately. Service was exceptional, and the dining, although including bangers, was tasty. The facilities offer everything you need for a fantastic stay.
