Incredible cooked-to-order breakfast with 13+ options
Charming Art Nouveau decor that feels personal, not corporate
Prime Kemptown location—minutes from the pier but quieter than the center
クイックテイク: It’s a creaky, strict-on-the-rules townhouse where the charm comes with thin walls and a lot of stairs.
@Shelleylovestotravel によるレビュー: I stayed in this cozy single room and honestly, it was perfect for a solo trip. The coffee station was stocked (free biscuits!), the bed was comfy, and the door code made me feel super secure. A solid budget find in Brighton.

The hype
Travelers adore the host's warm welcome and the outstanding breakfast, but often mention the rooms feel a bit 'tired' and small.
Reality check
Ground floor rooms suffer from significant noise bleed from the kitchen, owners' quarters, and passing foot traffic.
You are vegan or vegetarian (the breakfast menu is a holy grail)
You prefer character and 'shabby chic' over sterile modern hotels
You want to be in the LGBTQ+ friendly heart of Kemptown
清潔さと保守管理
8.5
Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable, though some guests note missed dust in high corners.
Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though older grout and sealant in some en-suites show age.
Maintenance: The building is old and shows it—expect some peeling paint, creaky floors, and 'tired' carpets.
Linens & towels: Clean and functional, but not luxury thread count. Towels can be a bit scratchy.
Odors & scents: Mostly fresh, occasionally a faint musty smell in lower ground rooms or cooking smells near the kitchen.

知っておくと良いこと
Parking is a nightmare; buy a voucher from the hotel (~£20/day) or use the JustPark app for a spot further out.
WiFi can be spotty in the basement/ground floor rooms.
This is an eco-hotel; expect organic toiletries and a strong recycling ethos.
持ち物
Earplugs (essential for lower floors)
Slippers (carpets are a bit worn)
Smaller luggage (hauling a massive suitcase up narrow stairs is miserable)
ルームジニー
おすすめ
First-floor Balcony Room (often has floor-to-ceiling windows and sea glimpses)
Four Poster Room (for the full romantic Art Deco vibe)
避けるべきお部屋
Ground Floor Double (Room 1) – adjacent to the kitchen/owners' quarters, very noisy
Small Single – described as extremely tight, barely room for a suitcase
ルームリクエストジニー – コピー&ペースト
“I would love to request a room on an upper floor, ideally with a bay window or sea view. Please avoid the ground floor as I am a light sleeper.”
FAQ と隠された便利な使い方
ご予約前に本当に知りたいことすべて
Is there a lift?
No. It is a Grade II listed building with narrow, steep stairs.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, and it's the highlight. Huge selection of organic, local, and vegan options.
Can I bring my dog?
No. Despite some older reviews saying otherwise, the current policy is strictly no pets.
How does parking work?
The hotel sells daily permits (~£20) for Zone C street parking, but spaces aren't guaranteed. It's often a hunt.
Is there AC?
No. Rooms have radiators for heat and windows that open for a breeze (and seagull noise).
Can I check in late?
Only if pre-arranged. Reception closes at 8 PM sharp.
インサイダー情報
✨
The 'budget' rooms with shared bathrooms are a steal if you don't mind the hallway trek.
✨
Ask for a room at the back if you want to avoid the morning seagull chorus.
✨
The hotel has a stash of parking vouchers—call ahead to reserve one so you don't get stuck paying meter rates.
行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡The owners live in the basement, so ground floor guests are basically roommates with them (hearing their TV, dogs, etc.).
💡The 'sea view' is often a sliver between other buildings, not a panoramic vista.
💡Water pressure in the top floor showers can be a bit weak.
💡The decor is 'eclectic' which sometimes means mismatched furniture and peeling wallpaper.
💡There is no bar on-site, but you can bring your own wine to the lounge.
