“This grand, historic hotel immediately situates you on Brighton's vibrant seafront, an advantage amplified by its genuinely helpful staff and clean, well-maintained public spaces. The rooms consistently impress with their comfort, particularly the beds, and while some might find its traditional style a matter of taste, the nautical charm and sea views are undeniable draws. It strikes a good balance for a seaside stay, making it a place I'd readily revisit.”
