    This hotel situated in a more quent part of Brighton in between the marina and the town centre…read moreoffers a really relaxed stay. Currently with £55 a night for any doube room until late February it is a great place to see away those New Years debt blues. This amount comes with breakfast, a paper delivered to your door, T.V. and DVD player and the V.I.P package which is for the very important pooch? This invlolves a treat and a food mat so I assume pets are allowed. With all bedrooms coming with en suite bathroom facilities and laundry service for those staying longer why not make a week of it? AA rated 3 stars but I feel the services laid on are better here than in some 4 stars and the attention to detail makes you feel more at home.

Not one for amusement…read morearcades, candy floss, rides or paddling, I'm into bleached skies, churning water and tourist-free beaches - but I can only be completely happy if I also have a warm, cosy place to return to after being buffeted along the seafront. My recent three night stay at The Avalon was just perfect for that. The location is great - less than 5 minutes walk to the beach in Kemp Town, right near lots of shops and restaurants and within a short walk to the centre of Brighton. Walking from the train station took less than half an hour, and my favourite coffee shop ever, Redroaster (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/123197-Redroaster-Coffee-House-Brighton) , is moments away. Mmmm, hot chocolate! Owners Brian and Tom made us all feel very welcome, especially Benji the dog who had a fuss made of him every morning in the breakfast room. Speaking of which, the hearty breakfasts set us up very nicely for days of wandering around town, and help was on hand to tell us about good countryside walks for Benji complete with maps and bus times. It was lovely to be so well looked after, it's just a shame we didn't have time to go everywhere we wanted. Having a really nice room to hang out in meant we didn't feel like we needed to be out and about all the time, and I can highly recommend the four poster room with its super comfy bed and sofa, perfect for reclining on and watching a movie (a DVD library in the breakfast room helped with this also). Free wifi was the icing on a very nice cake, and I'm sure we'll be going back to the Avalon very soon.

    We were the first people to stay in the suite (room 4) of this newly opened sister guest house to…read morethe already highly rated Strawberry fields (just across the way from this place) over in New Steine, Brighton. Already, I was excited about this fact, but also the owner was exceptionally friendly over the phone, taking a genuine interest in the reason we were coming to Brighton (boyf was walking London2Brighton and needed a place to bathe and relax after the ordeal!) When I arrived and picked the keys up, the receptionist there was equally friendly and helpful and seemed genuinely excited that we were going to stay in this new room! I opened the door to this new room and was absolutely flooded by sunshine streaming in through the shutters lining the whole room, and when i looked out the window to my left I had an unobscured view of the sea and a lovely view of the small green patch in the middle of New Steine. The room itself was refreshingly decorated with white and had lime green accesories and the bathroom had a bath with a low mounted shower. Initially this concerned me but i realised that perhaps it had been done so as not to get water all over the floor, and in fact it was quite nice to take a bath and shower my hair in the bath. If you are a die hard fan of showers though, perhaps this set up wouldn't suit you. There were a selection of coffees and teas and a hairdryer, flat screen TV and Iron with ironing board. Plenty of room to store clothes, desk if needed and comfortable sofa too. New Steine itself is lovely and there are a host of shops, restaurants, cafes and late opening food stores. This is not a hotel so food is not included but I prefer this as it gives me the sense of 'living' in a place not just 'staying'. I believe from their website however that you can order breakfast in bed from an outside company which is nice. Note to anyone staying on this side: there is a street lamp just outside the window BUT it turns off at 11pm after which the room is more than adequetly dark! Overall, I would love to come back and stay here, it was a lovely haven in Brighton and great to have freedom to come and go, great location in easy reach of all the attractions and very very close to the beach. Thanks to the owners for such a warm welcome!

    We picked this guest house on the basis of it's prime location in Kemptown - 1 block from the beach…read more- and because we were able to get a very good rate by booking in advance. The room was bright and had a large, comfortable king size bed. If you're looking for a basic accommodation at a good price this is a great option, though we found the room lacking some amenities that could have easily transformed an average stay into a remarkable one. Potential visitors should note that no staff that work on the premises, so you need to pick up your keys from Strawberry Fields across the street. There is a number you can call for assistance but unfortunately, there is no phone located in the building to make a call from, so if you're travelling from overseas and can't get onto a cell network in the UK the number is useless. The room was tidy, but the cleaning around the edges seemed to be neglected (there was noticeable dust collecting in the corners). The bathroom was very dated and there was a enough grime around the shower drain that I felt compelled to wear flip flops. Over the course of a 6 night stay, we only had the towels changed once (on day 2), even when we had left them on the floor in hopes of a change. The toiletries (which consisted of a bar of soap and a shampoo) were also never replenished. I realize that if I had access to a phone I could have called and requested a towel change and replenishment of toiletries, but this really is something that should be standard in a guest house stay and that you shouldn't have to go out of your way to ask for. Overall, the price was reasonable, the location was wonderful, and the shortcomings I've noted could easily be remedied.

They have a special offer of £175 for a top notch room with a whirlpool bath for fri/sat/sun which is the best value you will find in any 4 star hotel around. This would be perfect for taking a partner away as it will not let you down for quality and they are flexible with breakfast times which, is all included in this price. After a heavy day shopping or whatever you want to do this place is a great place to unwind whilst taking in the beautiful see air which you can really feel when you are this close to the see front. Plus they have whirlpool bath! How often are you going to get the chance to try one of these babies out. They cater for businessman and tourists with prices on average being just under £100 a night.

The first thing you notice is the attention to detail in the design, very contemporary but with great touches with lighting, ornaments and foliage. Our room had a gorgeous oversized suede headboard, a (slight) sea view, 6' wide king bed walk in shower ensuite, 32" flat screen tv, dvd/cd player, ipod clock radio, gorgeous thick duvets and a hospitality area with tea/coffee/chocolates & bottled water. I think the best part though, and the real clincher, was the breakfast which is served between 9 and 10.30am at the weekends, so we could actually enjoy it! Not only that, what other B&B offers such delights as blueberry pancakes or sautéed tarragon mushrooms on toast? We'll be back.
