we booked our room throught late rooms.com and chose this hotel as it was the cheapest and had free parking which is a huge bonus in brighton. We had a huge room at the front, clean, lovely and warm, lots of free tea and coffee, trouser press and hairdryer. Happy chamberpersons came round next day to clean room and give us fresh towels. We are going back in march.

My wife and I stayed at this "3/4 *" hotel, and were completley disgusted. We paid £69 for 1 night (I know, they saw us coming!), with no breakfast included!! We finally managed to locate our room, through the maze of corridors, and we were quite upset at the standard. The room was about at boiling point, and the traffic from the road outside was deafening! The bed was somewhat decrepit, and bedding had cigarette burns in it, and the wall paper was fighting a losing battle with the walls to stay attached. The bathroom was no better. Upon examination (how clinical am I?!), the bath had several pubic hairs in it (alarming as I was still fully clothed!). On our way downstairs to go out for the evening, we saw several ceiling tiles riddled with damp falling from the ceiling. By the time we arrived back at the hotel, we were hungry. But by 11 pm the bar had closed, so we thought we would take the hotels suggestion, and order some food on room service, which according to the leaflet in the information pack, was available 24 hours a day. Obviously however, not this day! We were advised to get the yellow pages and order a takeaway! On our way back to the room, the corridors were stinking of vomit. Thankfully morning came fairly quickly, and we were able to check out, and quite clearly, our custom was not appreciated, as the guy on reception only grunted in our general direction. All in all, a thoroughly miserable night, which has seriously put us off returning to Brighton in the future.

This is the worst hotel that I have stayed in, certainly in Europe, if not the world. It is very expensive, even by the outlandish Brighton standards. The curtains were broken. The window was dirty. They lie about having a pool, when they do not. There was building work going on, resulting in ladders being left around. They charged us extra for breakfast when they should not. And they refused to deal with our complaints. Do not stay here unless you are really desperate and even then, stay somewhere else.

From the road you see the Fawlty Towers similarity but hope it’s just the façade. As you struggle with your cases through the cumbersome doors you realise it isn’t at all like Fawtly Towers, it is in fact much worse. It’s not the Abigail’s Party décor, the Krypton Factor windows, the soft-as-granite mattress or the mouldy shower curtain that sum this place up. It is in fact the leaflet in the rooms. Slightly faded like a menu outside a Red Lion Pub in Spain, with wonderful pictures of facilities which were once new. All except the pool which sports a biro X scratched across a couple enjoying a swim. Clearly they’re very sorry this facility is not currently available. I recommend a stay in the Preston Park Hotel, preferably of less than 15 minutes. You’ll find it rather amusing.
