Great find

We were really impressed with this hotel. We stayed for one night when attending an event in Brighton. I received a phone call on arrival day from Jerome who was incredibly helpful, and even organised gifts for my friend who was celebrating her birthday during our trip. He also followed up afterwards to make sure we had a good time. The service from everyone at the hotel was exceptional, the room was clean and extremely well appointed, it was just a little warm during the night (even with air con - and this was February!) We didn’t try the restaurant. The lift directly from the Lanes car park was very handy too!

Nice but a little noisy

Overnight stay visiting family. Overall good but having a first floor room facing a side street ment it was very noisy with party persons and pub returnees until the small hours. Maybe some better sound proof windows on that side of the building?

Big room, comfortable, nice view - shame about the unwelcome window cleaners at 9am! - but all very corporate and lacking in style.
