I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is simply fantastic, right by the waterfront with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff, especially the doorman, were incredibly welcoming. However, there were some issues with inaccurate information given by a few staff members which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.

My room had a nice view of both piers and featured a classic Palace Pier view. The bed was super comfortable. On the downside, the view of other people's bedrooms through the cheap net curtains was not ideal.

The hotel offers stunning sea views but sacrifices some room amenities. The rooms were kept very clean with a comfy bed and shower, although the view doesn't match the pictures exactly. The service, especially from the welcoming female receptionist, was polite and helpful. The location is excellent, right by the lively Brighton Pier and a short walk to Churchill Square shopping center. Dining with a view of the pier is a highlight, although limited vegetarian options are available.

I had a great stay at the hotel, with a few highlights and some minor drawbacks. The rooms were cozy and clean, featuring a modern walk-in shower and a comfortable big bed. However, I found the heating system a bit too quiet to warm the room effectively. The service was overall pleasant, notably the warm welcome from the female receptionist with short brown hair. Although the staff was helpful and polite, there were instances of receiving inaccurate information, especially when the manager was involved. The location was excellent, right on the seafront with a stunning view overlooking the pier, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The dining experience had its faults, with some issues like congealing eggs and missing hot drinks, which affected the overall experience. Lastly, the facilities were decent, offering standard amenities, but there were areas that could be improved. Overall, a decent value for money.

The hotel offers newly nicely furnished rooms with freshly refurbished bathrooms and twin beds, providing a view overlooking the pier. The service was overall helpful and polite, but there were instances of inaccurate information given by staff. The location is convenient, with easy access to shopping centers and the seafront, although some staff members may lack attention to service quality. The dining experience, while not included in the standard rate, offered interesting options like a pancake maker, although there were issues with the quality of some hot food items.

I have to say, the hotel has a great view of both piers, but the cleaning routine for the rooms was lacking. The waterfront view was stunning, but I missed that fresh air vibe. The location is superb, right by the seafront, but the inability to enjoy a drink in the lounge with a sea view was a letdown.
