For a budget hotel where you can rest your head, this is a good place to go. The bed was nice and comfy and it wasn't as unclean as the past reviews make it out to be. Perhaps they have improved since then?

Convenient for a one night or a budget friendly place. However, so much noise around it, not cleaned properly (stains inside of the wardrobe and in the wall), and pictures do not represent the real state of the rooms.

This is hands down the worst hotel I have ever stayed in in Europe. It was dirty, noisy and the rooms were in a heavily degraded state. It's my understanding that this hotel is sometimes used as a shelter for the homeless. And, having stayed there, that about sums it up. I strongly advise against booking this place

Catfishing rooms

We arrived at the hotel confused on how to get in, you have to call a number on the side of the hotel to get checked in, The man who showed us in didn’t seem very welcoming at first but livened up after a few days of bumping into him and asking questions, be prepared for dodgy windows and bad shower pressure, it’s a good hotel for a short stay although the rooms look different online

Room looks much better in the photos than it does in person, my room hadn’t been cleaned at 3pm when I turned up to check in. I had my door knocked on dead on 11am to make sure I was leaving (not a problem but unnecessary). Not bad for somewhere to stay after a day of drinking but not somewhere to take the girlfriend for a romantic weekend

Cheapest hotel in Brighton - tolerable

The cheapest room to stay in brighton that is not a hostel for a reason. Very small, old-style furnishing, room heating can’t be controlled, it comes and goes for hours if not days at a time. For the cheapest rooms, bathroom is not private. However, clean, service is ok, and security locks all work well. Internet is solid for everyday use, not highspeed. Also 3 minute walk to the beach, and a local co op right outside. I would suggest innit saltwater which is another budget hotel nearby, it strikes a good balance between low cost and cosiness with a much more modern and stylish feel

Room without a view

Good location. No rail in the wardrobe, shower cubicle dirty and poor water pressure. Curtain nailed to the rail and didn't fit the window so everyone could see in, complained but nothing was done. Furniture painted and chipping off, only a couple of lights working. Would not stay here again.

Disgusting and dangerous

Didn't enjoy. Wouldn't come back again. Shower was filthy with black mould and the walls were covered in stains. I also nearly fell down the stairs because one of the steps is broken, but hidden by carpet. Absolutely rank

Don’t waste you time or money.

This is not a hotel it’s a disgusting hostel. The place is filthy. We booked a double deluxe room. The room looked nothing like it did in the picture The wooden floor was more comfortable than the bed. There were no curtains. We got missold a room. Hotels.com take this room off your site there pictures are fake. This place is an absolute hell hole. Don’t waste your money or your time. We left this place hours after we got here.

Disappointed but average.

Disappointed. No staff at the sight, everything was done by codes. I doubt these codes have been changed in a while so anyone could have got into the room. Clearly advertised private bathroom, to find out it was a shared bathroom, small, nothing like the pictures. Room basic, nothing like the pictures. Ok for basic but advertised a lot higher.
